This week on America’s Podcast, we're all set to embark on a melodious journey with some truly spectacular guests! Join us as we welcome Eric Lussier from *The French Connection* and Andy Rodriguez from *Blackspinner Circle Vid Cast* to dissect the reunion album “Perfect Strangers” by Deep Purple. Will it transport us back to the glory days of rock, or is it just a nostalgic fade-out? No spoilers here, folks! And speaking of soundtracks that capture the essence of our experiences, we have our Tracks of the Week lined up like a best-of playlist on repeat! Marc kicks us off with the heartfelt “The Art Of Letting Go” by Myles Kennedy, setting a reflective tone. Eric follows with “Sands Of Time” by Paralydium, ensuring we keep our feet on the ground while our minds wander. Andy then cranks up the energy with “Kill The King” by Rainbow, a track that demands attention. And just when you think we’re all wrapped up, we’ll go out with a bang as Jerry lights it up with “Light It Up” by Orianthi! So, until next week, remember: don’t be a Perfect Stranger, unless you’re knocking on our back door to join the fun! Share the love, get involved in the group, and let your voices be heard! After all, nothing says "I care" like a good podcast share, right? 🎸✨

Welcome back to a very special episode of America’s Podcast, With Guest Tim Wirasnik where the only thing hotter than our takes is the coffee we forgot to brew! This week, we're diving headfirst into the murky waters of our brother's new album, SKRIBBAL’S NU Metal extravaganza, "Electric Lungs," dropping this Friday like a troubled teen’s diary. Will it be a glorious resurrection of the genre or a painful reminder of why we traded in our baggy cargo pants for skinny jeans? Fear not, dear listeners; we’ve strapped on our emotional airlocks and are ready to breathe in all the krusty goodness! As we crank up the speakers and prepare to rage, we’ll be sure to sprinkle in our sizzling hot opinions with the same care as a 14-year-old teenager attempting to apply eyeliner for the first time. Spoiler alert: things are bound to get messy. Is SKRIBBAL channeling his inner Linkin Park or is it more along the lines of “Oh no, not another dad trying to rap”? In classic fashion, we’ll also unveil our “Tracks of the Week” segment, which is basically just an excuse to reminisce about the golden days of angst-ridden lyrics and oversized hoodies. Mooger will kick things off with “Demanufactured” by Fear Factory – because nothing screams suburban rage like industrial metal! Then, Tim will swoop in with “Who’s The One” by Winger, because what better way to relive the 80s than with a hair-flinging power ballad – perfect for crying in your car! Finally, Marc will cap it off with “In The End” by Linkin Park, which is basically the anthem of every teen in therapy. So, strap in, grab your bongs, and remember: until next week, take some hits from that sweet, sweet ganja and remember to say "screw you" to politics! Because really, who has time for that when there's an underground rapper’s existential crisis in the form of a NU Metal album to dissect?

This week on America’s Podcast, we’ve got a lineup so heavy it might just be considered a gym day! Join us as we tackle the burning question: should we be bowing down at the altar of Metal Church or kicking back to watch football on Sundays? Spoiler alert: our guests Greg Naugle and Travis Perrotta are here to argue that neither activity should include wearing pants! We titled this episode “The Human Factor” because let’s face it: we’re all just humans trying to figure out if our Sundays should be filled with righteous riffs or touchdown celebrations. Can you have a mosh pit in front of the TV? And if you can, will someone please tell the neighbors? No spoilers on the tracks of the week—after all, we don’t want to ruin the surprise of Marc picking “Fire And Rain” by Badlands, which is basically the soundtrack for those days you remember that you left the oven on…again. Mooger’s choice, “Impact Is Imminent” by Exodus, sounds like the perfect anthem for your procrastination and potential future life choices. Meanwhile, Greg’s picking “Another Day” by Fastway—not to be confused with “Another Day Without Coffee,” which is honestly just a crime. Travis is cruising down memory lane with “Starcarr Lane” by Alcatrazz, which probably has more nostalgia than your old high school yearbook! And Jerry wraps things up with “Nobody’s Fault” by Testament, which should be the theme music for every time someone tries to blame you for something you clearly didn’t do. So grab your air guitars, prepare your best headbangs, and remember: until next week, let the music do the talking and be as nice as a metalhead can be—meaning no heavy objects should be thrown, unless it’s a perfectly good air guitar! 🎸😂

This Week on America’s Podcast! Join us as Tim Wirasnik, the man who may or may not like anything, steps into the ring for our review of Alter Bridge’s latest masterpiece, *Pawns and Kings*. Will this album bless us with a Season of Promise, or will it make us feel like we're caught in an epic battle of epicness? We promise—no spoilers! In our Tracks of the Week segment, Mooger brings us “Take The Long Way” by Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts to remind us that sometimes, the scenic route is the best route. Jerry goes all in with “Crowded Room” by House of Lords, proving that sometimes, a little chaos makes for great music. Tim champions “Safe Home” by Anthrax—because who doesn’t love a good reminder to keep it safe? And we wrap things up with Marc’s pick, “Take My Soul” by The Dead Daisies, which is basically the soundtrack to a rock ’n’ roll exorcism! Until next week, folks: buy physical media, snag some merch, and support your favorite artists! And don’t forget to take a couple of shots; after all, there's always a groove waiting just around the corner! Cheers!

This Week on America’s Podcast, we’re diving deeper than a hipster at a coffee shop, and our guest is none other than the whimsical wizard of album art himself, Favio Vegas! That’s right, folks; this isn’t just your average podcast episode; it’s a splendid showcase of Hugh Syme, the artist behind album covers so iconic they should have their own fan clubs—right next to the bands they represented!

Join us as we venture through the hallowed halls of album artistry, where Hugh’s covers have graced records from Rush, where time-traveling is a casual Sunday, to Warrant, who apparently needed a lot more than cherry pie! We’ll be counting down our seven favorite album covers by this magician of design. Spoiler alert: it’s like choosing a favorite child, if your children were all adorned in colorful vinyl!

And, as if that wasn’t exciting enough, it’s time for our Tracks of the Week! Jerry breaks out his air guitar with "On The Loose" by Saga, while Favio presents his pick, "The Gate/Invited." By Tesla It sounds a bit like a mysterious invitation to an underground party—just make sure you bring the right snacks! Then, we cruise into the majestic sounds of "Yours Is No Disgrace" by Yes, because nothing says “classy” like three albums' worth of the word “yes.” Finally, we wrap it up with Mooger and his smooth serenade, "Stay With Me Tonight" by Quiet Riot. You know, just in case you were feeling too secure and needed a little room for chaos!

So, until next week, pick up your paintbrushes and remember: if you think you can paint like Hugh Syme, you might just be setting yourself up for an artistic intervention!

We’ll be dissecting the latest sonic offering from Florence Black, the "Bed of Nails" album.

Well, you’ll have to tune in for the juicy details because, as always, no spoilers here!

In our Tracks of the Week segment, get ready for a rockin' rollercoaster! Marc kicks things off with “Hoodoo Voodoo Medicine Man” by Aerosmith—because what’s a little hoodooing between friends? Eric then throws down the gauntlet with “I Do It My Way” by Kissin’ Dynamite, which is also a great motto for almost all family gatherings. Finally, we wrap things up with Jerry’s choice, “Trapped Under Ice” by Metallica. Man, we hope nobody is actually in a fridge while listening!

So until next week, please share our podcast and leave us a five-star review—otherwise, let’s be honest, you might just suck! But hey, no pressure…just kidding! We love you all! 🤘🎸

This Week on America’s Podcast, we welcome Ralph Viera, a.k.a. Dr. Fukk, and Eric RMCP Jordan to discuss the debut W.A.S.P. album — does it make you wanna be somebody, or does it bring you on your knees? As always, no spoilers... but maybe some raw meat? Tracks of the Week: Mooger picks “Damage Case” by Motörhead (because who doesn’t want to feel a little damaged?), Marc picks “Screaming for Vengeance” by Judas Priest (screaming is always in style), Jerry chooses “Astronomy Domine” by Voivod (because space is the final frontier, right?), Dr. Fukk goes for “Till It Shines” by Bob Seger (shiny things are hard to resist), and we wrap it all up with Eric’s pick, “Ride of the IronFox” by Bewitcher (because who doesn't love a good pun?).
