The Wet Bandits Podcast The Wet Bandits

In our first episode in a WHILE, Weezee and Slammy deviate from the Nirvana talk and go straight into a post-first-listen of Metallica's second S&M release.  

In this (very late) episode, Weezee and Slammy podcast from newly founded Wet Bandits Studios to discuss Butch Vig's influence on Nirvana's sophomore effort, Nevermind.  The boys covered this one long ago, so this episode focuses on how each song on Nevermind might be different had it been produced by someone else.  It's a weird episode, but we hope you enjoy it!

In this episode in which Slammy lets Weezee--and you, the listener--down by not waking up in time to record, the podcasters kick off their Nirvana discography with Bleach. Harder and darker than you typically think of Nirvana, Bleach is a sign of things to come. Good songwriting, good melodies, good hooks. Sloppy drums, loose band, under-produced. Whether intentional or otherwise, this offering doesn't live up to what Nevermind would become, but you can certainly see the roots that would become the foundation of what Nevermind was and is.

Would you like to hear what it sounds like for a podcast to lose all sense of direction and meaning!? Have you ever thought to yourself, "I bet there's, objectively, a 'worst podcast episode ever' out there somewhere!"  Well, you're right, there is.  And you've found it.
The delay of Weezer's Van Weezer album forced a little improv on our part, and that improv proved to had some bad audio so we had to do it AGAIN very close to the day this ep was due.  So--we give you our Weezer wrap-up episode--complete with discussion of The Last Dance and the current COVID-19 climate.

This episode features two Beer Mile greats (Slammy and special guest, Seth Westfall) and one Beer Mile "ain't" (Weezee, obviously)talking Weezer's most recent full-length release: their "Black Album".
With some hip-hop sensibilities, but slightly darker lyrical tone, this is one of Weezer's most divisive releases yet.

In this episode, our heroes cover Weezer's Teal Album--an all-covers offering that gives a lot of new fans something to get excited about, but might leave some Weezer fans looking for, well, just some new material. Their cover of Toto's "Africa" is a huge hit, but nothing else really caught on nationally. Beyond that, the boys compare each Weezer album to Star Wars films, and create the perfect opener and closer for their own covers album.
