Rock'dHards

This week, a little something different. The guys reflect back on the show's origins with clips from the randomness. A fresh new reminder about the Beartooth ticket giveaway and Jason refuses to share information with the class...again!

The guys open with a bang… sort of. Cory and Jason dig into overlooked horror-movie soundtracks from last week's episode, fresh releases, and those moments when a band takes a hard left into something completely different. Can a true fan forgive (and forget) a band’s brief experiment with artistic diversity—especially if that one-off album is the first thing they ever heard? Jason makes the c...

(Because we can’t exactly call it Scary Sh*t … the kids are listening.) No, this is not a Green Day episode. The Rock’dHards dig into some of the heaviest, most unforgettable metal tracks from horror classics—and drop a huge announcement that has absolutely nothing to do with Randy’s monster. Still not curious? Hit play. Stay hard.

Cory & Jason recap what was a crazy week of rock shows! Jason expresses the honest reason he does the podcast. Randy phones in from a surprising location and learns all about what he missed at Breaking Benjamin and President as well as all of the amazing people that were met at the shows. 

Cory and Jason valiantly fill the void (and the empty stool) with the latest metal chaos. After Jason reveals he somehow is somehow unaware of a classic, Cory forces him to confront “the old stuff” like it’s some kind of musical intervention. Randy remains ominously silent—either plotting or just judging—while the two fools dive into the new Wage War album and Dark Divine’s surprisingly metal take...

The guys talk metal stigma in hopes to finally end the BS. Randy phones in from the road (but from where on the road is the real question) and Cory can't keep his charities in order. The President contest winner is announced and more.

The guys discuss AGT results (much to Jason's dismay), some low key sleeper releases and Randy sets his sights on a truth seeking adventure of a lifetime.

The guys break down one of the biggest collaborations of the year, unveil one of their favorite comedians, and dive into this week’s latest releases—while Cory continues aging at an alarming rate.

Randy figures out just how it is that Jason's never wrong. Cory keeps "touching" things all while discussing this week's new releases from President and Slipknot.

The guys reminisce on the fall of ‘91 in all its glory. Epic artists, epic albums and an amazing time to be alive. Nothing comes close to date statistically or even close nostalgically, at least not as far as the guys are concerned.

The guys tear into the week’s new releases and the whole thing detonates instantly—absolute mayhem, zero brakes, full‑tilt chaos. Jason, of course, swears it’s all ‘totally fine,’ even as the conversation ricochets across genres, hot takes, and whatever unhinged tangent grabs them next. Just listen. It’s wild, it’s messy, and somehow everything ends up in Jason’s hands… literally and metaphoricall...

If the title was no indication, this week the boys break down the greatness that is, was and always will be Alice In Chains. Jason declares his ignorance on the subject while Randy & Cory try and explain it to him in Spanish... sort of. Upcoming new releases and a desire for video feed.

The guys break down what makes a great cover and talk about why A Killer’s Confession absolutely crushes their version of “Blinding Lights.” Meanwhile, Cory finds himself facing the biggest mystery of the episode: Why the hell has he not gone home yet?

Sid Wilson departs from Slipknot abruptly, President drops another new single and takes us to dark heaven, while the guys question WTF is going on with Crown The Empire? And a brand new artist spotlight: If Not For Me is brought to the table after Cory's experience of their live show at Inkcarceration. Randy ponders what Joe would do for a Klondike bar.

The guys recap the Dallas stop on Motionless In White's Blood and Sweat Tour with Lorna Shore, Fit For A King and Static Dress. First time mosh pit goers, rookie crowd surfers and Randy's close encounter with The Big Show! What more could you ask for.

The boys dive into the most anticipated album of the year, Decades, as they prepare to see Motionless on the Blood and Sweat Tour stop. Ghost breaks down the core memories created in a field at a prison in Ohio. 

Everybody likes movies, especially when they’ve got an awesome standout track to go with them! The guys discuss some of their favorite title tracks, epic moment songs and even some hidden gems associated with movies but not necessarily part of them. 

Iconic lines from iconic frontmen. The guys discuss what immediately grabbed their attention and created some of their favorite songs from some of their favorite bands. Randy is a bad mother fucker and Cory is still old. Sleepy Joe strikes again.

Happy Birthday America! The boys touch on new releases from Bad Wolves, From The Tides, Gideon and DED as well as a new scream record brought to us by none other than Mr. Oli Sykes. Anticipation for Inkcarceration and Motionless In White as they are just weeks away! This episode goes everywhere and nowhere all at once... as usual. 

The title says it all here folks. The guys break down the legacy of Bring Me The Horizon as well as an added extra look into Dehumanized (two weeks crammed into one episode thanks to modern technology and a little help from Ray Ray and a 1980's phone booth).

Alright, this episode happened. The guys dive into the past week’s newest releases, argue like usual (don’t worry, Jason’s right again), and then we try to unpack whatever the hell Cory and Randy are doing with a 1985 classic.

The guys wrestle with the ghosts of unfinished masterpieces left behind by fallen frontmen. Each has a different take on what “complete” even means. How far should an artist go to protect a legacy that outlives them? Apparently Randy sounds like Freddie Mercury!

Yungblood review, a big day for rock history, Cory's questionable choices for places to unload and Dark Divine drama, oh my! Yet another week of Rock'dHard shenanigans!

The guys tackle a tough topic that has hindered the music industry for decades. Do drugs make great musicians and in turn make great music? What would the music industry look like without them? Could listeners appreciate an artist struggle without knowing the underlying issues, traumas and overall struggles in life? 

The boys are all over the latest news from the Beartooth camp. Caleb poured his personal life into Pure Ecstasy — and the title track rips. President unleashes 'Doom Loop' with a surprise announcement. Cory tries to deny his MGK fandom… but Randy’s not buying it. Tons to unpack.
