We predicted that Force Field would be a sequel to Gravitron, and we were right. The question is, is it more like 'The Godfather II' or 'Speed 2'? Seven full-length albums in, are we still digging this band, or has Bitchwax Fatigue got the better of us? Listen and find out.

We've got a faster, heavier Bitchwax album to contend with here, as the band flex their muscle and bring a new level of focus and intensity to their songs. Has this shift been a success, or left us yearning for a return to their retro roots? All the answers lie within...

"Fifty riffs in forty minutes" is the pitch for this audacious, one track, vocal-free slab of fuzz rock madness. The Atomic Bitchwax attempted something remarkable on 2011's The Local Fuzz. Listen to this episode to hear Scott and Matt discuss whether they managed to pull it off.

In this edition we run through Atomic Bitchwax II. You, the listener, get to enjoy tension between us early on as we discuss Track 2. The gloves come off and the tough love is dished out in heavy doses. Bunker down, make sure the shuffle button is off, and settle in for the ride. Keep your masks on for this one!

The COVID episode: sanitize after listening. Scott unsuccessfully tries to cover up his cold. In the meantime, Matt & Scott give The Atomic Bitchwax I its proper due. We debate the genre of the album and break it down track by track. We are the new lords of your podcast app. Now... we will begin.

Finally, the day has come. Matt & Scott sit down together and choose the first band to get the Unshuffled treatment. We'll be listening to this band's entire catalogue in coming weeks, so it's a big decision. We've made a list of five bands each. Five bands we KNOW we should have listened to by now but just never got around to it. We have no idea who we're going to choose, so let's just see what happens...

We're just getting warmed up... This is a precursor to our zeroeth episode. In this episode Matt & Scott try to find good bands that each other hasn't heard of. You'll get the idea as we move further into it, but this is just a taste of things to come.
Intentional listening. Band by band. Album by album. Song by song.
Every modern music lover knows that nagging feeling - there are a bunch of bands you KNOW you should have listened to by now to but you never got around to. And if you keep opening an app and pressing shuffle every time you want to hear some music, that's the way it's gonna stay.
It's time to change. It's time to focus your ears and your mind.
Follow us podcast by podcast as we go album by album, song by song, following a band's career arc from debut to final album.
