Death and Slammy's Record Room

Episode 012 - Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) We bomb atomically, with Socrates' philosophies and hypothesis. Wait, wrong album. 30 some years ago, Nine unknown dudes from the smallest borough of New York City formed like Voltron and made what is arguably the most important hip-hop record of all time. It’s Slammy’s birthday takeover and we deep dive on 36 Chambers. What about this grimy, rough and tumble street rap record appealed to some young suburban punk rock kid? Listen and find out.

We’re marching up to your gates today and demanding you listen to our pod! This week Death picks The Flatliners change of pace record Inviting Light. The Flats take a break from the break-neck speed they tend to operate at and rock at a more leisurely pace. We have thoughts about it! Slammy picked The Menzingers turning point record On the Impossible Past. This is when The Menzo’s figured out the formula and became the band still rocking socks off today. Does Death finally change his mind about these guys? Listen and find out.

Episode 010 - AFI - All Hallows E.P. & Frank Black - Teenager of the Year Is AFI a halloween band? Davey Havok thinks so and he’s the frontman so who are we to argue. It’s probably because of the halloween themed 7” they put out when they were at the peak of their powers. Or all the goth stuff they kept doing for 5 more years. We also dig into The Pixies former frontman's second solo effort Teenager of the Year. Frank Black is a prolific and eclectic songwriter on this album. 22 songs on this one, and he had popped out a solo record a year before this and another record shortly after. Busy fella. Is this output better than The Pixies? Listen and find out. Email us @ DeathandSlammyRecordRoom@gmail.com We want to hear your complaints, compliments, or corrections.

Episode 009 - Toadies - Hell Below/Stars Above & The Gaslight Anthem - The ‘59 Sound This week we dive into Toadies follow up record to their breakout platinum debut LP Hell Below/Stars Above. Are Toadies a one-hit wonder? What do you call it when the one record had a bunch of hits? 1 record wonder? We also get into nostalgia punk legends The Gaslight Anthem. Gaslighting wasn’t a thing in the zeitgeist when these guys picked a name apparently. They were already blowing up before The ‘59 Sound launched them to the moon and into our hearts.

Episode 008 - Fugazi - 13 Songs & None More Black - File Under Black This week we dive into Fuagzi’s debut LP that’s really a mash-up of two EP’s 13 Songs. I’m not sure what you call Fugazi; post-Hardcore, emo, post-punk? Whatever it is, one of us loves it, find out which! We also get into None More Black’s debut album File Under Black. Coming out of the ashes of Kid Dynamite and being on Fat Wreck Chords these guys should have been a big deal. Can we answer why it didn’t quite click for them? Listen and find out!

This Hope Con boasts a new lineup and new sound from what they were doing before. We also examine The Lawrence Arms seminal album Oh! Calcutta!
