This week, we are talking about bands that have rock stars in them: Supergroups and Offshoots. We once again discuss how a band consisting of well-known artists from other bands does not always equal great success. Dive in with us as we discuss and listen to some of the more obscure supergroups and offshoots that didn’t break with huge mainstream success or stay around very long.

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week, we talk exclusively about Supergroups featuring famous solo artists and band members, along with Offshoots, which are bands that contain the bulk of a previous incarnation of a famous band. We hope that we turn you on to something new.

Songs this week include:

1. Alcatrazz – “Painted Lover” from Disturbing The Peace (1985)
2. Subrosa – “World’s Greatest Lover” from Never Bet The Devil Your Head (1997)
3. Black Swan – “The Fire And The Flame” from Paralyzed (2026)
4. THE LAST ROCKSTARS – “THE LAST ROCKSTARS (Paris Mix)” from THE LAST ROCKSTARS (2022)
5. Circus Diablo - “Mad Parade” from Circus Diablo (2007)
6. DREAMCAR – “We Rats” from Dream EP (2024)
7. Swedish Metal Aid – “Give A Helpin’ Hand” from Give A Helpin’ Hand - single (1985)
