Captain Content laced up his Doc Martins and led us over to the Pacific Northwest to the land of everything GRUNGE! How is it possible that we are on our 6th ep in this series and we still haven’t played a single note of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam???

It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week’s episode honoring the passing of a true recording innovator and master of his craft: the amazing Mr. Steve Albini. Our good friend and fellow podcasting brother, Chris L joins us from the awesome Pod Of Thunder podcast. We knew we needed someone who represented the region of the country Steve was from and where he did most of his work; a magical f...

Meet Captain Content in the pit this week for a hella good time! We’re getting our aggression by revisiting the starting point of Kevin’s music fandom. The thrash, crossover, and speed metal movement of the 80s spawned his love of all things rock n’ punk n’ metal. Once again, we will not be covering the Big 4 of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax; but if you love them, then you will love thi...

This week we present another installment of our ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We’re talking about a 90’s band that most consider a 1 hit wonder alternative group. SPACEHOG is much more than most give them credit for. They were a unique band that carried the flag more for classic 70’s glam and power pop than alternative & grunge. If you are a fan of Bowie, Queen...

This week Capt. Content reminds us that something unique happened in the 90s with “Classic Rock” radio where they completely omitted any new contributions musically from the bands. In the 90’s, the “Legacy Act” tag hadn’t hit yet and bands were still trying to be true to themselves, but still be relevant. We’re playing the Lost and Forgotten songs released during the Alternative Rock era from band...

Listener Beware: This week you will be subjected to a deep exploration of the grey matter of a co-host of this show. Some know him as the enigmatic, flame-throwing, jack of all trades: Robert Harrison. However, this year he has earned the moniker: CAPTAIN CONTENT… and he is out for revenge!!! Let’s just say it will titillate some and completely confuse others. This is the truth, the whole truth, a...

This week pour yourself a pint of Victoria Bitter and join us in welcoming back the CEO of Aussie Pub Rock: Craig Elvin! This time he’s with us live on American soil, so we decided to play a special version of the drinking game we call, “WILD CARD”! Robert and Craig go head-to-head in a game where they try to get points by naming the obscure band that is being played. Of course, we made it more in...

This week the lads hop across the pond to do some more excavation of denim and leather… Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Saxon, Judas Priest are not on this episode, however, the one and only: Tony Griggs is! The NWOBM movement was filled with passionate bands from Great Britain that were poised to take over the world in the early 80s. Tony is a big fan of these groups and we are happy to have him on boa...

This week is all about bands playing a famous singer–songwriter’s songs better than he ever did… This is a particular phenomenon known as, “The Dylan Factor”. In this episode, we showcase songs by old Bobby Dylan that sound better than the versions he recorded. Some will say that’s not a hard feat, but none can deny the powerful songwriting and auspicious lyrics of Dylan. What’s this InObscuria th...

This week we give Cap’n Content a break as Kevin throws Robert for loop by digging into the world of the Japanese Girls Metal Band boom that has been gaining momentum worldwide since 2010. This episode tests Robert’s endurance as he listens to music slightly outside of his wheelhouse with the quick tempos and technical ecstasy that is Japanese Metal! Come join us and listen to one of Kevin’s guilt...

This week we offer up the 12th installment of our series called, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss side projects and solo releases from artists we love. We are celebrating the adjacencies to a true rock n’ roll icon: ALICE COOPER. Not much to say about the man, the myth, the legend. Capn’n Content suggested that we focus our listening to the gunslinger guitarists that have supported the Co...

This week breathe in another breath of freshly regurgitated air! We are exorcising some demons and testifying to the New Wave Of Classic Rock! This is also known as the 8 shots of bourbon episode… Listen in as we pour it on with classic, blues-influenced hard rock that reminds us of the days when FM radio rocked! Indeed, rock n’ roll is not dead and is in the very capable hands of these killer ban...

This week we provide you with the finest in Hair To Hair Combat! You got it… we are dipping our spandex-covered legs into the pool of obscure glam metal. These are groups with similar band names that we thought needed to go hair to hair to see who truly has the right to rock the name. If you like it glammy, sleazy, and trashy; this is your show! New to InObscuria? Every week your two hosts crawl d...

This week we bring you a cornucopia of obscure psychedelic sonic nuggets from the one, the only Cap’n Content himself; Robert Harrison. Share a tab and grab a fork as we dig into some tasty blues inspired psychedelia curated by the good captain. These are bands and songs that co-host Kevin Williams was mostly unaware of until now, so we are flipping the script a bit in this episode! Welcome to Biz...

This week we pay homage to bands straddled the world of the 80s hard n’ heavy and the 90s alternative n’ grunge. These were bands that were somewhat outside of the status quo specifically in the hard rock and metal world that seemed to be playing music that was more genre and categorization-defying. Thus we created our own non-genre called; The Inbetweeners! What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a p...
