S2-Ep4: The Donnas: Take It Off!!
Rock N Roll Gutter
02/23/25 • 35 min
In this episode, we’re throwing it back to the late ‘90s and early 2000s with The Donnas —the all-girl rock band that proved girls just wanna have fun... and shred! From high school besties to full-fledged rock stars, these four women took their love of The Ramones, KISS, and AC/DC and turned it into a career packed with blistering riffs, rebellious anthems, and the kind of songs that make you want to break curfew.
We’ll cover their journey from high school garage band to MTV darlings, where they channeled their inner Ramones, out-party’d the pop-punk boys, and made sure everyone knew that girls could, in fact, shred just as hard—if not harder than the boys.

S2-Ep5: Spread Eagle: Scratch Like A Cat
Rock N Roll Gutter
03/09/25 • 49 min
In the late ‘80s, when rock ‘n’ roll was drowning in hairspray and excess, Spread Eagle crashed the party like a steel-toed boot to the face. These guys weren’t just another glam band—they were the leather-clad, gutter-born antidote to the genre’s pretty-boy polish. While glam bands were busy primping, these NYC bruisers were cranking out raw, razor-sharp street metal that sounded like it crawled out of a back alley with a switchblade and a bad attitude.
In this episode, we dive into the band’s criminally underrated legacy. Were they too gritty for the glam crowd? Too sleazy for grunge? Or just the right band at the wrong time? Either way, Spread Eagle proved that sleaze metal wasn’t all lipstick and lace—it had teeth.

S2-Ep 6: The Hollywood Brats - From Almost-Famous to Absolutely Infamous
Rock N Roll Gutter
03/23/25 • 39 min
Before punk had a mohawk and before glam got glossy, there were The Hollywood Brats —the band that should have been the UK’s answer to the New York Dolls but ended up as rock ‘n’ roll’s best-kept secret. In this episode, we dive into the sneering, swaggering, and spectacularly doomed career of the Brats, a group so ahead of their time they practically time-traveled into obscurity.
From their reckless fashion choices to their run-ins with music industry apathy, we’ll unpack why their lone album (recorded in ’73, ignored until ’79) still sounds like a Molotov cocktail wrapped in leopard print. Were they glam? Proto-punk? Just really bad at networking? Tune in as we separate myth from mayhem and give The Hollywood Brats their belated street cred—though, let’s be real, they’d probably prefer a pint and a punch-up.

04/06/25 • 74 min
In the first half of the episode, we explore the world of Princess Pang, the short-lived but unforgettable sleaze rock band that burned bright in the late '80s. With a globe-spanning lineup and a frontwoman who could out-scream, out-strut, and out-rock most of the boys in the biz, Princess Pang hit the scene in the late '80s like a hairspray-fueled tornado. Princess Pang brought a raw, infectious energy to the scene—just as the glam metal wave was beginning to crash.
In the second half of the show, feel the pure DGAF chaos that was Betty Blowtorch—the all-girl band that made Mötley Crüe look like choir boys. We’re talking about the queens behind Are You Man Enough? , the album that that gifted the world with high-octane anthems like “Hell on Wheels,” “I Wanna Be Your Sucker,” and the eternal romantic ballad, “Shut Up and F***.” (If that title didn’t make your mom clutch her pearls, their live shows probably did.)
From Bianca “Butthole” Halstead’s gritty bass lines to their legendary tour van misadventures, Betty Blowtorch didn’t just push boundaries—they set them on fire. We’ll dig into their rise from Butt Trumpet spinoff to full-blown rock cult legends,, their brief but blazing trail through the early 2000s scene, and the tragically short journey of their fearless frontwoman. Betty Blowtorch proved that rock wasn’t just a boys’ club—it was a demolition derby, and they were here to raise hell.

This week we’re heading straight into the grimy gutters and neon nightlife of 1990s New York City to pay tribute to the criminally underrated glam-adjacent punk juggernaut: D Generation. Fronted by the ever-charismatic Jesse Malin, these downtown darlings brought sneer, swagger, and sharp songwriting to a scene that didn’t know what hit it. We’ll dive into their CBGB-bred origins, major label misadventures, and how they channeled the spirits of the Dolls, The Dead Boys, and Hanoi Rocks into a sound that was equal parts rebellion and heartbreak. They didn’t just play rock ’n’ roll—they made it feel dangerous again.
