Misfits-Walk Among Us

The Broken Record Player Podcast

10/30/20 • 65 min

Happy Halloween!! On this episode, musician, music teacher, and therapist, Larry Santiago, sits down with us to talk about Walk Among Us by The Misfits, one of the most fitting albums to listen to on Halloween. Fast, catchy, campy, heavy, this 24 minute album is filled with throwbacks to horror and sci-fi movies of the 50s and 60s, stories of monsters, and ghoulish tales of destruction. If you listen to any music this Halloween, you have to listen to The Misfits.

Kyuss-Welcome (To Sky Valley)

The Broken Record Player Podcast

08/20/21 • 103 min

New episode out now! Ryan Musser and Stefan Henskens, from the band Astral Cult, are back to talk about one of their favorite albums, and one that was a huge influence on their music. We’re talking about Kyuss and their 1994 album Welcome (To Sky Valley).
Coming out of the deserts of Southern California, Kyuss made sure to incorporate the harsh, remote, and vast landscape into their sound. Kicking your ass with a wall of sound, Kyuss left ears ringing, hearts pounding, and adrenaline rushing, while being as chill as possible. A perfect album from start to finish, if you’re looking for an album that is heavy, groovy, a little odd, but something that you can drive to, look no further.
