It's time for The Mighty Decibel to throw some love toward Swiss metal unit, Krokus. The butt of many a joke (albeit mostly self-inflicted once you listen to their post-1983 material!), but, man, from 1980 to 1983 the band was smokin'! C`mon, turn on your bedside radio for some backseat rock`n`roll!! Side One Metal Rendez-vous (1980) (0:00) Heatstrokes (4:00) Bedside Radio (7:20) Backseat Rock'N'R...

Join The Mighty Decibel as we name and listen to ten hard rock'n'roll albums from the 70s that metalheads can digest in their downtime.

Sure, the mighty Led Zeppelin don't need more airplay given its stature as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. However, we here at The Mighty Decibel have curated a 40 minute set of deep album tracks for your listening pleasure. Of course, saying "deep album tracks" in Led Zep's case comes with an asterisk given it seems that every one of the band's songs has been heard on the airwaves at...

Welcome to Hardcore Punk New Releases where this episode we'll be focusing in on January and February 2022 releases. The stream of quality d-beat, grind, crust, powerviolence, etc. discs recently begged for its own podcast series ... so here we are. Grind it up!

Join The Mighty Decibel as we review four double live vinyl releases from the 2020s. Vinyl’s back baby!!!

Possessed - here's a band that remains largely unnoticed despite issuing the very first death metal album (1985's Seven Churches) ... which just so happens to be one of the top death metal records of all time IMO. Sure the sophomore release was a little bit of a let down, but God damn, the Beyond The Gates EP that followed was top shelf stuff. Then 32 years later (!) they had the balls to release...

Coulda-shoulda-woulda. Here are ten examples of mid/late 70s songs that we here at The Mighty Decibel think should have ruled the airwaves, but didn't. Are DJs that stupid? We think you know the answer ...

It still blows my mind that Rose Tattoo never became huge. Their self-titled debut (Rock'N'Roll Outlaw in some territories) just happens to be one of the top five rock'n'roll albums of all time ... and the two follow-up records are also contenders. The Aussies provided tough, slide-heavy boogie'n'roll with a vocalist that sounded like Rod Stewart on steroids. And live these guys just slayed. So wh...

All you headbangers out there who have ignored veteran Texas boogie outfit ZZ TOP ... time for a lesson in the blues, southern style. Join The Mighty Decibel as we complete a discography review of one of southern rock's best bands. From ZZ Top's First Album to La Futura, we'll provide critical analysis and a snippet of a track from each of the bearded (and non-Beard-ed) ones fifteen (!) albums. Pu...

Okay, you can stop snickering. Yeah, REO Speedwagon in the 80s was pablum rock, radio at the time playing the trite ballads over and over again until you were forced to throw your transistor against the wall. However, in the 70s REO Speedwagon was a hard rock'n'roll, hard touring band ... with an A-lister guitarist (Gary Richrath) in tow. Really! Don't believe me? Take a listen to this ... Side On...

Melodic punk has a handful of bands that lead the way ... and Southern California's Bad Religion has to be considered one of those units. In action since 1982 with 17 albums to their name, there's a ton of music to choose from so we here at The Mighty Decibel have compiled the best 40 minutes of the band's recorded material from the 1990s, the band's best era.
