Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour

Today we're interviewing drummer Erik Tunison and author Sahan Jayasuriya to discuss every album by Die Kreuzen. While the band began as ferocious hardcore punk in the early 80s, they quickly evolved. With every subsequent record, they were always a few years ahead of their time, pioneering genres like noise rock, alt rock, and grunge. Now, Erik and Sahan (author of Don't Say Please: The Oral History of Die Kreuzen) are here to tell us the entire fascinating story of Die Kreuzen.

Today we're discussing Tender Prey by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. This is one of Nick Cave's most legendary albums for the simple fact that it contains "The Mercy Seat," his most famous song (also covered by Johnny Cash). But there's so much more to it. The substance abuse and subsequence chaos behind the scenes, the strange production style, and the eclectic songwriting make this one of Nick Cave's absolute weirdest albums.

This week we're discussing every album by Suburban Lawns. Formed in 1978 in Long Beach, CA, the story of Suburban Lawns is definitely a weird one. A surreal Saturday Night Live appearance, an unlikely friendship with the director of Silence of the Lambs, and the sudden disappearance of their singer, Su Tissue--it's all real. Their history is as strange and unpredictable as their music, and we're dissecting it all here.

Now the members of the band are going to walk us through their entire discography, album by album.
