MOSH POD

Cousin Jaime returns to run-down her favorite hunks and babes of the 90s music scene. Can Ariella even handle it? Aaron reveals his one-and-only 90s dream woman. Plus, Daniel's lightning round picks will have you saying "Who?!" "What?!" and "Woah…”

The Moshers summon the dark one himself as we explore the ever-present relationship between rock n' roll and evil. What dark forces inspire our favorite heavy music from the 60s through today? We dare to answer, and also reveal our most evilest bands in-the-making. Muah-ha-ha-ha!

"I'm getting in, or I'm gonna die trying." When it comes to face-melting rock n' roll, this family loves the thrill of the hunt! Our mom returns to talk about skating past security, escapades infused by liquid courage, and how you can get away with (almost) anything when you exude confidence. We quiz her on our made-up band names. Does she pass the test?

SEX SEX SEX!!! Ok, now that we have your attention, join us for an awkward and awesome family discussion of rock n' roll in all its raunchy glory. These are the bands, artists, albums and songs that elevate the artform to its sleaziest heights. Discover the true meaning of "Rock n' Roll" along with us, plus, hear the legend of Guy Mann-Dude (he's a real guy, dude).

"Nope! Shut up! Next!" If you've ever found yourself shouting anything like this at your device whenever a certain song comes on, then you know exactly what we’re getting at. Those tunes that drive you up the wall and you can't avoid easily enough. Join us as we painfully reveal our top five most annoyingest songs.

We have certified movie buff and long-time friend Chris Goodwin with us to talk all things Wayne's World. Suffice it to say...we're not worthy! The first episode in our rock n' roll-infused film series, Chris takes us into a world of head-banging, Alice Cooper-worshipping, cable access-starring rock fans that uncannily resemble Chris, Daniel, and their buddies. He's put on the spot to guess whose...

Sometimes hatable, seldom imitatable, these big-headed rockers have stood out to us as their own biggest fans. Join us as we surprise one another (and sometimes not so much) and reveal our Top 5 picks for biggest egos in rock. Is their self-centeredness sometimes justified? You decide! See which big-wig ends up on all three of our lists, and stay tuned for some honorable mentions.

This episode is all about TV shows from the '90s and '00s that catapulted Daniel and Ariella's mutual adoration for all things music and pop culture! We talk Headbangers Ball, Pop-Up Video, MTV Unplugged, and more. Hear our extremely varied takes on Carson Daly, what these shows gave us without the option to stay in our music comfort zone, and the unique, untouchable je ne sais quoi of Behind the...

Welcome to our first-ever MOSH POD micro episode! And our first-ever MOSH POD on the road episode! WOOHOO! The sibs steal a few minutes during our annual family vacation to Ogunquit, ME, to revisit some awesome beachside memories fused with ROCK.

The sibs dive into the bands, artists, and live shows so EPIC they crack you wide open. Ariella reads from a personal essay, “The Death and Life of Sincerity in Rock ’n’ Roll,” and we unpack our own spiritual rock ’n’ roll experiences—from teenage awakenings to the shows that still shake us now. We trace how “feelings” have evolved both inside and outside the stadium, and yes, we’ve somehow come u...

We magically transport you back to 1991 to revisit some of the defining music of the year (it was much more than Pearl Jam happening, but we do discuss them too). Daniel drops a mind-bending theory of how '91 was actually one of the best years of the 80's (What?!) Plus, we describe all the best (and worst) types of people to run into at a show.

Spouse of the pod, Dr. Jakob W. Sedig, educates the sibs on an elite genre of rock n' roll: Butt Rock. How did the name originate? What parts of the country do these bands hail from? Where do certain bands fall on the Butt Rock Venn Diagram? Which of the sibs are closet fans (or not-so-closet fans) of quintessential butt rockers? Come for the hot takes; stay for the educational journey!

It's May, which means it's Mental Health Awareness Month (not to be confused with Metal Health, the 1983 album by Quiet Riot, featuring hits like "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)" and "Cum on Feel the Noize"). The sibs discuss music that matches the mood, songs that give us a necessary boost, and the benefits of experiencing live music for emotional well‑being. Wanna hear about fake bands that would...

You've entered THE CHARIOT OF ROCK! (aka, our parents' old Honda Odyssey minivan...) Roll your windows down for some tunes FOR the road, FROM the road, on the way to a gig, by yourself, with friends, in middle-of-nowhere America...YOU NAME IT! Join Aaron and Daniel as they (symbolically) hit the road and drum away at the wheel. They dig into what they love to blast in the car, and what make them t...

Cousin Jaime, AKA our fourth sibling, lover of all things 80s, joins us to share all her top hottest rockstars of the hottest decade, the 1980s... HOT! She shocks us with some unexpected Hotties & Notties. Plus, the siblings challenge Jaime to a lightning round of "Hot or Not?" to see how she feels about some of our own favorite 80s hunks and babes

Concert ticket roulette, TAKE 2! Daniel and Ariella dive back into their ticket stashes and uncover some real gems. Get ready for Red Bull-fueled gigs, epic nights on Lansdown Street, worn out albums, tracking concert statistics, and so much more!

The Moshers gab about their top fav debut albums. Do they mention any of your favs? Plus, check out their looongest, strongest, and most bleep-worthy band names.

Memories unlocked! Ariella and Daniel pull tickets from a hat (or from a weed bag, if we're getting technical) and riff on old concert memories. Enjoy Daniel's ramblings about physical concert tickets versus the takeover of digital tickets ("Get off my lawn!")

Our dad swings by to talk transitor radios, stacks of 45s, and the most memorable sets he's heard over the years. He mentions every 70s-era Boston-area music venue you've never heard of but where EVERYONE who was ANYONE played (with our dad in the audience, of course).

The siblings determine which 80s bands rock and which ones suck. It's that simple, but not as easy as we thought. Also, we list our own shit-themed dream bands, all of which suck.

Superdude and singer/guitarist Chris Harvey (I Was Awake, Cocaine Tongue) visits MOSHPOD to talk supergroups. What makes one? Why don't they seem to last? Why do we care? All that, plus we (shitily) name our own supergroups.

The second installment in the sibs' lists of Top 5 Faves: guitarists! Come for the band, stay for the chord progressions, the riffs, and the solos. Bands whose sound was born on the frets. And the sibs share the significance of their pre-show beverage rituals. Crank up the amp!

The sibs do their first deep dive into a band: F*ckin' OASIS, mate! The band, the brothers, the rivalry, the reunion. And stick around for Aaron's hot take on concert losers.

Daniel and Ariella get into some memorable mixtapes and playlists: why they were made, careful curation, and the moments in time captured by these collections.

The sibs are BACK! They've got an Ozzy Osbourne memorial segment, contrasting memories of Hulk Hogan, and Ariella talking about connecting with the rain and earth at an Oasis reunion gig in Manchester, UK. They've also got some good (new) band names.
