Jake's Inferno

Summer vacation is right around the corner and I can't WAIT! Nothing big planned but I am hooking up for a beer with fellow podcaster Michael Butler when he swings by town in early August (playing bass for Handsome Dick Manitoba). But that's a long way away and right now there's music to be listened to. On this month's playlist you'll find some punk, thrash, hard rock and alternative. 

Spring is finally in the air and a mid-week holiday (where I live anyway) is much appreciated! Mowed my mom's lawn and fell asleep in the sun. But you're here for the music right? On this month's playlist you'll find some punk, alternative, oi, hard rock, hip-hop, thrash and a lovely little tune recorded in the fifties. Crank it!

New episode out and this is not a joke (there's plenty of other people having a ball on April fools' day). On the playlist you'll find some punk, thrash, garage, alternative, hard rock, hip-hop and last but not least a song sung by a lady who'll turn 83 later this month. Happy Easter!

Off to the ISLAND today to hang with dear friends and family for the weekend, so I'll have to pack some good cds I can spin in the car. Or I could just download my own damn show... On the playlist you'll find punk, stoner rock, hard rock, alternative, crossover, thrash and a cool tune recorded 71 years ago. Enjoy! 

Winding down after a windy day, and what better way than to listen to a bunch of cool tunes? On the playlist you'll find some punk, hard rock, alternative, death metal, Americana and stoner rock. Enjoy!

Absolutely atrocious weather outside but toe-tapping music's keeping me warm (my feet anyway). The first episode of 2024 is a mix of genres as usual so a whiplash warning have hereby been issued. On the playlist you'll find some punk, hard rock, country pop, thrash, hip-hop and alternative. Thanks for listening! 

It's here! My top ten list of the best albums released in 2023. Half of the bands are old favorites that have been on previous best of lists but some are brand new acquaintances. Thanks for listening this year, I'll be back in January.

Throwing you a little Christmas curve ball with a show chock full of instrumental tracks instead of my usual best of the year episode. Don't worry, the latter will come out later this month. Until then, enjoy the jolly season!

Dismal weather but a glass of red wine and vinyl spinning on the stereo lights up this mid-week blues. On the playlist this time you'll find some punk, alternative, thrash, soul, hard rock and hardcore. Stay sick! 

Fall is here and that is NOT my favorite time of year as it gets darker day by day. Good thing there's music to put me (and hopefully you dear listener) in a better mood and this time around I play a decent amount of new stuff. On the playlist you'll find some punk, hard rock, old r&b and death metal.   

New month, new episode of the Inferno. Spinning 11 tracks and and I've actually seen 7 of these bands live, can you guess which ones? On the playlist you'll find some punk, blues, alternative, rap, thrash, hard rock and electronic. Turn it up!

Vacation and it couldn't have started better with a wedding on the beautiful island Öland last weekend. I was even on the dance floor for a couple of minutes. But you're here for the music right? On the playlist this time around you'll find some punk, death metal, alternative, country, hard rock and industrial. Dig in! 

Looks like a day filled with rain in this part of the world, so why not fire up a new episode of the Inferno to keep you company? On the playlist this time around you'll find some punk, hip-hop, hard rock, blues and thrash. Saw Chris Isaak with my dad on Tuesday by the way and that was one killer live show!

Sun, sun, sun! June is here and in my part of the world that means summer. Have tickets for three concerts this month so I'm keeping busy doing what I love the most, going to shows. On the playlist you'll find some punk, hard rock, alternative, hip hop and indie. Enjoy!

First weekend in a while with nothing planned, I needed that. On the playlist this time around you'll find some punk, glam, thrash, alternative and 60s pop. Enjoy!

Show season is heating up! Got tickets to W.A.S.P., 999 and Chuck Prophet and that's just in April. None of these artists are on this month's playlist but you'll find some punk, hard rock, grunge, hip hop, alternative, thrash and soul.

Saw Henry Rollins here in town last night do more than 2 hours of spoken word gold. Don't miss out if he's coming to a city near you! In other news my daughter has started to buy records and that is putting a SERIOUS dent in my wallet... On this month's playlist you'll find some punk, garage, hard rock, rhythm & blues, psychobilly and thrash.

Rain, rain, rain (at this moment, in this part of the world). But music is a ray of light so stick this episode in your ears and you'll perk right up! On the playlist there's some punk, hard rock, rap, alternative, glam and the always entertaining Peggy Lee.

First show of 2023! Need I once more lay down the ground rules? To be fair, there is only one: I play whatever the hell I want! On this month's playlist you'll find some punk, alternative, hard rock, death metal, a ditty from 1951 and garage. 

It's time for the annual top ten list! Join me as I count down the best records released this past year. Punk, Americana, hard rock and thrash are just a few of many genres in which bands made an impact on me. Thanks for listening and please keep coming back for more shenanigans in 2023! 

Highly recommend Kraków! Went there for a short trip last weekend and that city truly delivered. But you're here for music right? On the playlist this time around there's some punk, soul, garage, alternative, hard rock, hip-hop and metal. It's fall people, stay indoors and listen to some tunes. 

Pouring rain and Sly on the stereo, just another Saturday afternoon in the city. But wait, it's October 1st so why not send another Inferno into the world and wreak a little havoc on your ears? On the playlist this time around you'll find some punk, thrash, country, hard rock, alternative and a couple of weird ditties from 50's.

New stuff, old stuff and everything inbetween. Bummed that Anthrax just canceled their European tour (I bought that ticket a year ago!) but I think I'll use the refund wisely and go see something else. Watain perhaps? On this month's playlist I'm spinning some punk, sleaze, thrash, garage, hip-hop, alternative, stoner rock and the smooth, cool Julie London.

I'm back at work, but there's a gig coming up in a few weeks and I've reconnected with an old friend so life could be a lot worse. On this month's playlist you'll find some punk, thrash, garage, hard rock, alternative, death metal, sludge metal and soul. 

Vacation time and the weather's been good, could one ask for more? Well, if you need some killer tunes penetrating your skull, look no further. On the playlist you'll find some punk, hard rock, ska, alternative, D-Beat and Americana. Enjoy!
