The Rock Geeks are two northern blokes and lifelong best mates, Phil and Julian, taking a monthly deep dive into the albums that have shaped their worlds and expanded their minds, exploring who created them and how they were made in the finest detail possible.


Each episode will take you into the recording studio and not only show you the gear that was used by the band and the studio engineers but also show you how the gear was used to produce their masterworks. Phil and Julian also discuss each album track by track, exchanging views and opinions on the musical and lyrical content, while exploring the social and cultural landscape into which the albums were released; and if the artwork is often your favourite part of an album, then you are not alone! If you've ever wondered what the controls on Angus Young's Marshall amp were set to, who painted the cover art for Weezer's Pinkerton or how many fascist dictators are referenced in Manic Street Preacher's The Holy Bible then The Rock Geeks can help.

    In the second part of The Rock Geeks close inspection of Dust by Screaming Trees, Phil and Julian continue their chat about the band's gear before getting stuck into the studios visited by Screaming Trees during the recording process. Not ones to shy away from a good old philosophical debate Phil and Julian discuss whether or not the SSL sound actually exists, which takes them on an unexpected detour, starting at The Hit Factory NYC and finishing at Phil Collins. Finally, Phil talks Julian's ear off again about compression, specifically how mix engineering legend Andy Wallace used it to such great effect on the 120 million albums sold on which he is credited.

    Jul 2 2024
    On episode one of their two part investigation into one of the most criminally overlooked albums of the 90s, Dust by Screaming Trees, Phil and Julian kick things off with some correspondence from American artist Mark Danielson, who painted the cover art for the album. Danielson writes about the inspiration behind the enigmatic image that makes Dust one of the most complete albums of the era, sending Phil on a voyage of discovery into the world of art history. Later Phil and Julian swap notes in their track by track analysis before getting stuck into the gear that the band was using around the time of Dust's recording.
