Episode 106 – Genre-Bending Mayhem

This week on The New Dad Rock, we’re diving headfirst into the messy, thrilling, and utterly unpredictable world of new music. From the FOMIES, the garage-fuzz band obsessed with obscure, badly recorded records in weird places, and their latest 12-track album Liminality to the cosmic textures of Hawkwind’s There Is No Space for Us, the chaotic energy of Viagra Boys, and a whirlwind of other sonic adventures.

Expect tales from fall concerts, a reformed Rush, the dream of seeing The Cure at the Sphere, and reflections on shows like Mountain Goats at the Ardmore, Joey Valence & Brae, AG Club, Geese, and Horsegirl. Keith wanders through pop duos like Frost Children, screamo, indie sleaze, glitch core, and the ever-confounding spectrum of punk (or “indie brat” as he likes to call it).

From new wave, post-punk, and synth wave (Automatic) to genre-bending surprises like Snooper, Maruja, and Princess Nokia, this episode is a chaotic, affectionate love letter to bands that refuse to be pigeonholed. Keith’s in the honeymoon phase with so much new music, and he’s scribbled down every note—sometimes legible, sometimes not—for your listening pleasure.

Get ready for punk energy, fuzzy guitars, cosmic escapades, and the joy of discovering your next obsession.

Let us know what’s up.
