Two albums signed to small indie labels 30 years apart from one another that dared to tread new ground and break new sound. Mudhoney is often referred to as the band that kicked off the Pacific North West's grunge boom and we're going to dive into Superfuzz Bigmuff, the album that started it all. Right after that we're going to jump to the other side of the country and listen to Dr. Dog with their fifth studio album, Fate! Their highest charting album to date Fate introduced a new era for Dr. Dog, showcasing a more polished side of them and a deeply conceptual album to boot. It's a lot to put into context but luckily this week we have Peter DeMaio (of Idaho Green, Pon Farr, and Waterfall Strainer) with us to sift through all the details on this episode of No Singles.

For all of you glam rock loving, sparkly suit wearing, 1986's Labyrinth watching jeepsters out there we've got the ham of glam T. Rex.
