S1E58 - The Kind of Beatdown I've Been Looking For
DESOLATION SOUNDS PODCAST EPISODE 58 - THE KIND OF BEATDOWN I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Howay lads.
January's podcast is here, rounding up the best of the ignored and stuff I never got round to in 2020. It's a little convoluted but fuck it, it gives me a chance to talk about Protest the Hero, Alpha Wolf, The Hawkins, Melted Bodies and Respire.
Don't forget, the accompanying playlist for this month is available on Spotify with links available on Facebook and the Linktree.

S1E57 - Albums of the Year 2020 - Part 2
DESOLATION SOUNDS PODCAST EPISODE 57 - ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2020 - PART 2
Howay again.
To finish off the two-part return of the Desolation Sounds Podcast, here is the countdown of 10-1 plus a short run-down of things that were below par for the year. It's great, I start from "yeah, I didn't really vibe with it" to live-listening and running down an album for how shit it is.
On the better side of things, expect to hear me prattle on about Creeper, Caspian, Palm Reader and more!
Do make sure you listen to part 1 first so that you're not all ass-backwards and such.

S1E56 - Albums of the Year 2020 - Part 1
DESOLATION SOUNDS PODCAST EPISODE 56 - ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2020 - PART 1
Howay lads, been a minute eh?
We'll blame it on the corona but aye, this is the Desolation Sounds Podcast talking all manner of bollocks about alternative music. And what a time to come back too as 'tis the season of Top 10s/Top 20s, countdowns and all the like, and so it only feels fitting to come back with my own Top 20 albums of the year.
As with last year, this is part one of two, counting down from 20-11 as well as talking about some honourable mentions, and the Top 10 EPs of the year, so expect to hear about the likes of Milk Teeth, Giver, Dragged Under, Zeal & Ardor and more!

S1E54 - Dream Theater's Weird Little Brother
DESOLATION SOUNDS PODCAST EPISODE 54 - DREAM THEATER'S WEIRD LITTLE BROTHER
So this lockdown's pretty shitty huh?
A return for the Desolation Sounds Podcast sees Steven review the albums from Scottish instrumental math rock nerds VASA, "rustic" folk punk n roll from Scottish laddos 13 Crowes, mathy emo from Michigan's Hot Mulligan, the dark country side project of Behemoth's Nergal - Me And That Man, and we finish with Nawlins hardcore mob PEARS.
Side note, the audio starts crackling around 30-35 mins. No idea why, all apart of the same session but different tracks. Fuck this week basically. FUCK IT.
