    105 -- Prison Bound: Artists Who Did Hard Time
    Aug 30 2025
    The world of music is full of interesting characters, and some of them are unfortunately bad people. In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re following our namesake by talking about musicians who did time in prison. We have a long list of artists from different genres who spent some time behind bars, and we’re going to talk about them, their crimes, and the music they made. We’ve got stories like Lead Belly being discovered while in prison for attempted murder, to Jelly Roll turning his life around after his daughter was born while he was serving time. The singer for Lamb of God was charged with killing a fan. Ike Turner missed his rock and roll hall of fame induction because he was behind bars. Lil Kim chose prison over snitchin’, and some of the Norwegian death metal dudes are crazy. We’ve got all of their stories and a lot more in this wild episode, so let’s hit it.

    104 -- Does Yacht Rock Suck?
    Jul 21 2025
    In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re sailing into the open waters of yacht rock and asking the burning question that needs to be asked: does yacht rock suck? Is it a rock rebel’s nightmare or sunlight escapism? The musical equivalent of enjoying a cocktail on a sunset cruise or more like being on that Titan submarine that imploded a few years ago. Grab your life vest, drop anchor, and whatever other bad sailing pun you can think of and listen to us debate: does yacht rock suck? Episode Playlist Check out our episode playlist ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

  • 103 -- Hair Metal Meltdown: The Bands Killed By Grunge

    103 -- Hair Metal Meltdown: The Bands Killed By Grunge
    Jul 7 2025
    Today, we’re diving into the unrelenting collapse of hair metal empire. A music scene that crashed harder than Vince Neil's drunk driving accident killed Razzle Dingley. Sure, bands like Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Poison are still out on the road, playing for nostalgic crowds of people who yearn to hear those power chords. But for every one of those groups that are still selling merch and playing gigs, there are several who were wiped off the board in the early 90s by Seattle’s flannel fury. Grunge was a raw, authentic sound and anti-establishment ethos that rejected hair metal’s polished production, spandex, and power ballads. But we still love that music about girls and having a good time. It's as America as any other movement in music In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re looking at the bands who didn’t survive the hair metal meltdown. Groups like Winger, Cinderella, Kix, Warrant, and Vixen that all went to shit faster than a teased up hairdo in a rainstorm. Episode Playlist Check out our episode playlist ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
