Show Notes
Never heard of Reacharound? You're not alone, which is a shame, because this band of UK expats playing punked-up rockabilly and 60s Kinks and Who influenced garage rock deserved your attention. Their only album, 1996's Who's Tommy Cooper? is a charming, straight-up rock album with enough variety to keep fans of Reverend Horton Heat, Social Distortion, or The Living End interested.

For his last film of the 1990s, David Lynch worked with longtime collaborators and new musicians to build a soundtrack as varied and unpredictable as his film for 1997's Lost Highway.
Following the release of their debut, 12 Rods signed to V2 Records and released Split Personalities in 1998. Sprawling in its ambition, the band twists and bends pop rock into a variety of genres, melding drum 'n bass, shoegaze, emo, and more.
This week we're checking out the 2000 album Tried + True by Tinfed. The third and final album by this Sacramento, CA based alternative rock band shows confidence in their willingness to experiment with electronic elements, but occasionally misses the mark in the execution.
While not as well know as other goth heavyweights like Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, or Siouxsie and the Banshees, the third album by Fields of the Nephilim, 1990s Elizium, deserves recognition on par with the classics of the genre.
This week we revisit the 2007 debut album Exit Decades by Cut City. If you are a fan of 70s post-punk (The Sound, Joy Division) or the 2000s revival (Interpol, Bloc Party), you will definitely want to tune in and check out a band that ticks all the post-punk boxes with modern twists.
