(Replay April 12, 2024) The Whizbanger Show #134 The Slow Doom Roll Edition - July 22

Freshly squeezed podcasts on Soundcloud, The Whizbanger Show is a mix of raucous sounds from psychedelic to doom, sludge to punk, grind to black, and the occasional Judas Priest worship for good measure. You’ll hear everything from 3 Inches of Blood to 7 Year Bitch, The Abadox to Zeke, curated collections from secreted-away stash boxes, and bands from around the world. With the occasional surprise co-host and special shows dedicated to women, trans and nonbinary folks, DIY bands, and even cover shows, The Whizbanger Show will surprise you, delight you, and feed those inner demons.

Fuzzy grooves and slippery psychedelia.
