Another year down — okay, another year and a couple of weeks, give or take — and that means another whole buttload of new music released in genres other than our beloved metal. Just sit with that for a second and ponder. There was punk! There was indie! There was shoegaze! And that’s just in the rock sub-categories. What about jazz? Hip-hop? Electronic?
“Whoa. I need to sit down for a minute,” you’re thinking to yourself. No you don’t, you big dummy! Dan and Chris have you covered!
Well, okay, they couldn’t — and, to be fair, don’t — even pretend to have you fully covered on all the myriad 2024 things that weren’t metal. But bless their hearts, they do try on this, their… fifth or sixth annual end-of-year NON-metal podcast. It’s a wide-ranging, two-plus-hour convo about all the best stuff they listened to from outside the heavy realm. Wanna catch up with ’em? Grab a (+/-) alcoholic beverage of your choice and get listening!
