The Phoenix Festival held Warwickshire, UK and put on my Mean Fiddler, it was the first of its name - blending indie rock with punk pop and offering a new experience for music lovers - with some mixed results. We dig in to the trials of a brand new fest, the cool bands that didn’t get the recognition they deserved and how John Peel is frankly the centre of the universe.  Mentally put up your old 2 man tent, put on a bucket hat, crack open a large can of cider and ENJOY. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/societyowesmeagenxpodcast/message

We roll back the clock to when it was possible to rock the charts... and then disappear completely.  Joan Osborne poses an interesting question about God's whereabouts, Chumbawamba get knocked down and then get up again, we have brekkie at a famous New York jewellery shop and finish up with 4 dark haired women who demand to know What's Up.  Join us for all the 90s chat that matters! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/societyowesmeagenxpodcast/message

This glorious Brighton band burst onto the scene with their explosive folk-punk collection of protest songs back in 91, and the album is still as fresh as ever more than 30 years on.  We reacquaint ourselves with 'The Levs' and unearth the initial critical response, rivers (rivers, and more rivers) one reeking special delivery & political activism that continues to this day.  How many ways?  One Way!  Fight the power! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/societyowesmeagenxpodcast/message

We take your back to the (concrete) streets of LA circa to sample (much) the (rappers) delights of Jurassic 5’s 1998 LP, J5. We dig into the prehistoric roots of these alt hip hip dinosaurs, harking back to the Good Life, good vibes, the life and times of Henry Mancini, via boney chicken wings and dirty sex ponds. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/societyowesmeagenxpodcast/message

We just want a Bit Part of this legendary album from Evan and the gang - the hazy summer of '92 with nothing but MTV News and Sky mag to glean info from.  Every track is a tiny masterpiece, not flashy or pretentious but melodic, poetic and iconic.  We go through the tracks and drop some info on back stories plus Courtney, Suzy, Juliana and Polly - and our new fave website, Shagtree.com.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/societyowesmeagenxpodcast/message

Hello…. it’s 1998 calling! yep, this week we‘re talking about Hello Nasty,  the epic fifth studio album by the Boys Beastie.
