This week is brought to you by the one and only Captain Content! Inspired by his birthday celebration just over a month ago, the Captain set the controls for deep space on a mission to collect more examples of Space Grunge! Was he successful in finding galactic sonics somewhere between space rock, stoner metal, grunge, and alternative metal? Tune in to this frequency to find out!

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? We exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode we explore all things psychedelically spacey and grungy. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was completely alien to your earthly ears!

Songs this week include:

1. Valley Of The Sun – “Hearts Aflame” from The Sayings Of The Seers (2011)
2. Slomosa – “Psykonaut” from Slomosa(2020)
3. GAUPA – “The Drunk Autopussy Wants To Fight You” from GAUPA (2018)

In this week’s episode, we dust off our iPods and XM boomboxes to travel back to the decade where many claimed that rock n’ roll was dead and that there was no more good music. That’s right; we are listening to obscure tracks from George W.’s Y2K! Join us on this journey back through the decade of iTunes, MySpace, autotune, and some really great rock n’ punk n’ metal!

New to InObscuria? It’s all about digging up obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode, we talk about the lost and forgotten gems of the 00s. A decade where the ideas of record companies, albums, physical product, and the old way of promoting artists were all challenged. This decade literally changed the path for how music was to be consumed going forward.

2. Flickerstick – “Girls & Pills” from Tarantula (2004)

This week, journey back to the years 1986 and 87. When a young Kevin scraped and bruised his knees, elbows, shins, and wrists constantly. Yes, the years of skateboarding and the discovery of a particular brand of punk and hardcore called: Skate Rock! Discover the sounds that inspired him to start a band and the alternative counterculture movement that would shape the rest of his life. It’s all about blazing wheels, barking trucks, and being possessed to skate!

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 grouping of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week, we look back at the very beginning of his discovery of the power of music and the distortion-fueled sounds with a lasting impact. Hope you enjoy and that we turn you on to something new!

Kevin scoured the galaxy to find other examples of this sonic assault, somewhere between space rock, stoner metal, grunge, and alternative metal! Come blast off and have a blast with us!

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? We exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens.
