We're going through the theme songs that the album art claims 'rock'. But do they all rock? Did the wrestlers look cool and tough walking out to these tunes? I actually have no idea but two people who love wrestling, Psychonaut and Josh are able to guide me through it. The history, the impressions, the context, the blading, the motorbike noises. This episode is for hardcore wrestling fans and total WWF noobs like me. Live, laugh, learn, suplex.

Episode 98 - Far - Tin Cans With Strings To You with r/numetal
Finally an album by an artist that brings me absolute joy and isn't an aural onslaught. We're talking Far and in particular, their album from 1996 Tin Cans With Strings To You. This record was suggested by this week's guest, the moderator from r/numetal. When they agreed to be on the podcast, I figured they'd suggest Darwin's Waiting Room or 311 but I was legit shocked when they said Far - a band I have loved for ages with a singer, Jonah Mantranga who seems to epitomise the DIY spirit. But anyway, we do enough gushing on the episode.
Buy Jonah's book. Sub to r/numetal. Donate $35,000 on our Patreon. Live. Laugh, Laugh.

Episode 97 - Ministry - Filth Pig with Nick Capper
Very lucky to be joined on this episode by comedian, Nick Capper to talk about Ministry's Filth Pig. An album written when Al Jourgensen when he had a $1,000 a day drug habit and recorded in a homemade studio in Texas full of stuff that was breaking down all the time. “ It was mean; it was ugly. It was music to kill yourself to because that’s what I was trying to do." A brutal album discussed on a soon to be award winning podcast with a great Australian comedian.

Episode 96 - Funeral for a Friend - Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation
Name a better album for us to kick off season 3 with. Actually, don't. I've got things to do today. But you can think of them in your head - maybe think of an album where the drummer doesn't keep switching to halftime or end songs with a splash hit.
Regardless of what album we're talking about today, we hope you had a good break from us and are ready for some more insightful and witty podcasting from a soon to be Grammy award winning podcast.
Also, legally I am required to say that Gobshite Industries are not operating any shell companies and I strongly discourage anyone from looking into it any further. Thank you.

Episode 94 - Mushroomhead - XX
Mushroomhead are a rough listen and I am glad that misery loves company because I am joined by the legends that are Martin and Steve from the Is It Dad Rock Yet? podcast. I threw the proverbial padlock at their ears this week so we could talk about Mushroomhead's masks, water drums, tempos and their feud with Slipknot. Try and find a podcast on Mushroomhead that doesn't mention that Slipknot fight! Can't be done.
Welcome to the Bwomp Cinematic Universe.
Check out the Is It Dad Rock Yet? podcast here and follow them on Instagram.
A podcast for anyone who also finds themselves disorientated, stumbling in and out of memory lane soundtracked by Taproot and the Queen of the Damned soundtrack.
