Hi there, welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a podcast about music.On this episode, it's been a while, so we dust off our three magic boxes that are already stuffed with songs, and add a few more to the A, B & C boxes. Picking huge songs that could be considered overplayed and deciding if we never want to hear them again, will tolerate/enjoy them if they happen to come on or if we are jamming them ALL the time.There's also a quick chat about the futility of The BRIT's, a lost banger from A-Ha and recommendations for new albums from Nothing, Carpenter Brut and more.
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop! a pop music podcast. On this week's show we're joined by our own Australian correspondent Alasdair Belling to chat about 5 things in the world of music that really get his goat.We also review the recent Deftones show at the O2, and take a look at some new music from Jill Scott, Charli XCX, Karnivool, Converge (again) and Uncultivates.
It's another episode of Trve. Crvp. Pop!, coming out on a weird day, to search for the very worst music ever made.On this weeks episode, we look back at the mercifully short but incredibly awful career of Barnet's finest; girlband Vanilla and their hit song No Way No Way from December 1997.In the aftermath of the success of the Spice Girls, loads of girlbands started popping up all over the UK music charts. You remember them don't you; All Saints, Atomic Kitten, B*witched, Honeyz, all that.None though were quite as bad as Vanilla, seemingly unable to sing, dance, write songs or dress well, they immediately became a joke everywhere from ITV's Chart Show to The Big Breakfast. We go through the entirety of their career... two singles basically, particularly focusing on their debut song No Way No Way and it's incredible video.
Hello, been a minute, but welcome back to another episode of the search for the worst album ever made, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop!.On this episode Steve and Sam throw the rulebook out the window and pick their own album to judge, it's the 5th studio album from rapper, actor, author, pop culture phenom Will Smith, Based on a True Story, which was released on the 28th of March 2025.Dunno if you remember, but Will Smith has had a funny old time over the last few years, he won an Oscar for best actor, but it went a bit pear shaped if you recall. After that, Will had to scramble around a lot to salvage his reputation, which he hasn't really been able to do. He did release this record though, which was his most serious and personal effort to date. It's basically him going on about how great he is and how he doesn't care what people think of him, whilst also moaning that he nearly got cancelled. Good job Will!
