Hi there, sorry for the week off! It'll all get explained, but Trve. Cvlt. Pop! has returned, good news.

On this week's show, Gaz is still away, resting up, so our good buddy Merlin Alderslade joins us to talk about the year in dance, EDM and electronic music. After a stellar 2024, does this year hold a candle to it? We look at the big releases, the new artists coming through, the best albums, the biggest disappointments and the live shows that we loved.

Plus, we look at the Reading and Leeds line up for 2026, pay tribute to Mani and Jimmy Cliff and review recent live shows from Radiohead, Clipse and Gary Numan.

Welcome one and all to Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a podcast all about music.

On this weeks show we are delighted to be joined by George and Nat, AKA electronic duo 601, in the aftermath of the release of their latest album We are Not the Same, for them to talk to us about 5 influential albums. Classic rap, industrial metal pioneers, big beat, instrumental hip hop and legendary hardcore punk all battle for space in the conversation.

Plus there are live reviews of recent shows from Kneecap, Ash and Baby Seals and we break the glass on a true lost pop favourite from Let Loose. Yeah, we're going there.

Hey there, welcome to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a bloody music podcast so it is!

On this weeks episode, we're joined by our good mate Jimi from the excellent Bangers & Mosh podcast to give us a redacted, list of 5 things that would make his A-Z of Atrocities. Yup, we're going neggy again!

From poor sound at venues, established bands not boosting new artists, shitty AI and the death of the album, he gives it both barrels.

There's also live reports from Reef & Kerbdog's double header, and we are unquestionably the only podcast to review boyband royalty Five and upcoming black metallers Spectral Wound on the same show. So that's good.

Welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! where Steve and Gaz are ready to give you the run down on the very best releases from the month of October, with a review round up.

We look at new albums from Dave, Soulwax, Militarie Gun, Sudan Archives, Idlewild, Guided by Voices, Lily Allen, Mobb Deep, AFI, Creeper, Perturbator, Mammoth, Sigrid, They are Gutting a Body of Water, Soul Blind, Supersuckers, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Orbit Culture, Author and Punisher, Rocket, Taraneh and Slug Boys.

Plus we review the new Depeche Mode concert movie M, look at the recent Download, 2000 Trees & Outbreak festival line ups, marvel at Robbie Williams 90's-tastic new video, rejoice at the news that there is going to be new Death Grips material and... yeah, why not, rejoice that Disturbed have announced a hiatus.

Hello and welcome to a another blood curdling episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the spooookiest music podcast around... Yeah, it's Halloween. We're doing that.

Which is why this week Steve has sacrificed Gaz to the demons of full time employment and gone out on his own, tracking down Creeper frontman Will Gould, ahead of the release of their new album Sanguivore II, to get his five most essential creepy albums.

There's also a, sort of, related lost pop tune from Bobby Brown and a quick browse of the Boomtown 2026 line up reveal.

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, a music podcast.

On this episode we speak to Nowhere2run's Jami Morgan about his brand new project, about his life in music, about what happened to his previous band, the critically acclaimed Code Orange and where he is now.

We also chat about the demise of MTV, the confirmed return of Sugar, a lost banger from Kylie's indie years, pay tribute to the wonderful career of D'Angelo and shrug at the news criminal former musician Ian Watkins is dead.

It's time for another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! the music podcast... the best music podcast, THERE WE SAID IT!

On this week's show Steve and Gaz are delighted to be joined by Wolfgang Van Halen ahead of the release of his Mammoth project's third album The End, coming out on the 24th of October.

He picks five albums, ranging from prog-metal legends, to industrial legends, to djent legends... basically lots of legends.

There's also a review of the recent Parkway Drive show in London, the news that Rush HAVE reformed and that Sugar MIGHT reform (exciting on both counts), and you think you know every Queen single? Think again, as we jog your memory with a lost banger from the rock legends.
