This week on America’s podcast, we dive into a band that inspired a whole generation of punk, pop-punk, and “I swear I can still fit into my old leather jacket” bands — Social Distortion and their classic album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell.

It’s just the Three Amigos on this episode — brothers in podcasting and brothers in surviving questionable music takes. No family members this week… so things might actually stay on track for once. Will this album send us straight to heaven, or will it be pure hell on the ears? No spoilers… but somebody may need emotional support hairspray by the end of the show.

• Mooger — Star Star by Joan Jett (the The Rolling Stones cover)
• Marc — All You Zombies by The Hooters
• Jerry — Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol

This Week on America’s Podcast, we crank up the volume and dive headfirst into Lightning to the Nations by Diamond Head — the album that helped inspire a generation of thrash metal bands to pick up guitars, grow their hair out, and scare the neighbors! But here’s the big question: Is it a true NWOBHM classic… or were the cover versions by other bands actually better? Uh oh… somebody hide the comment section!

To help settle the debate (or make it even more chaotic), we bring in family members Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez. No spoilers, but let’s just say opinions fly around faster than a double bass drum beat after three energy drinks.

• Andy — Electric Eye by Judas Priest
• Travis — The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent by UFO
• Jerry — Breadfan by Florence Black
• Marc — Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
• Mooger — Nosferatu Madre by Clutch

Until next week… THRASH IT UP, be awesome, and remember: if the neighbors complain, you’re probably finally playing it loud enough! Free Form Rock Podcast is out! 🤘

This week on America’s Podcast, we dive headfirst into the sun-soaked, slightly shady, totally legendary world of California as we review one of the greatest bands and albums of all time—Eagles and their iconic Hotel California. Yeah, yeah… we know there’s always that guy who says he doesn’t like them, but we’re putting it all on the table. No spoilers—just vibes, opinions, and probably a few “wait… this song rules” moments.

We’ve got Free Form family members Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez joining us, so you know things are gonna get interesting. We’ll light up some “colitas,” try to stab it with our steely knives (results may vary), and maybe take a ride down Life in the Fast Lane… all without spoiling the verdict.

🎧 Tracks Of The Week:

• Jerry – Sunset Grill by Don Henley
• Mooger – “Goodbye Song” by The Wild Feathers
• Travis – Catch Your Train by Scorpions
• Marc – “Breakdown (Live)” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
• Andy – “American Girl” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Until next week, check out all our shenanigans on YouTube—https://www.youtube.com/@freeformrockpodcast9076 subscribe, hit that thumbs up, and fall into the rabbit hole of After Shows, concert vids, and all the extra chaos we throw your way.

Also, leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Podbean and Podchaser—because nothing says love like clicking buttons and boosting our egos.

And hey… if you see a New Kid in Town, don’t be a jerk. Don’t make him feel like it’s been wasted time. Just hop on the 405, pray there’s no traffic (spoiler: there is), and cruise through Hotel California like you own the place.

We are out. ✌️
