JROCK ONSEN

"Whoa! That was one of the worst releases I have ever heard. I'm burning all my merch." Face it, we all felt this way at some point. Maybe we weren't triggered so easily? Regardless, a band you love will most l...

We're 20 years into the year 2000, we're 20 episodes in and we are looking at how the scene has changed. As fans, we have been through high and low in the community. Surviving the ebb and flow of all the change...

Here we are again, late. I mean I want to blame someone or something but I digress. Anyway, we're here to whine about cameras at shows? What are your opinions? Mazo hates them, that's for sure. There are always...

A bit of a delay again, but, shouganai, right? This week we're gonna tackle the phases or rather, power levels you have in Jrock fandom. From starting out with a favorite band, to loving every band, to reaching...

It's officially a new year, everything is winding down and somehow you made it all the way here with us. First and foremost, my deepest gratitude to those of you who have listened to any of our podcasts, be it ...

Normie, riaruju, whatever you call 'em, as soon as they find out your passion for non-local music they assume it's a phase and you'll grow out of it. My Chemical Romance, DIR EN GREY, same thing. It's kid stuff...

So, I am sure the spicy headline caught your eye. In this month's podcast, we're keeping in-line with last month's formula, we're sticking to one topic and hashing it out while giving a few small stories here a...
