Ep. 3: Acid Rock n' Proto Metal from the Crypt

Episode Summary

Welcome back my friends to Ep. 3 of the InObscuria Podcast! This week our rock n’ roll grave robbers dig deep into the 1970s Acid Rock n’ Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal.

Episode Notes

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the: FORGOTTEN category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1971 - 1978. However, somehow, Kevin has actually seen one of the bands live! 

As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.

Songs this week include:

  1. Ursa Major - "Stage Door Queen" from Ursa Major (1972)
  2. Cain - "Heed The Call" from A Pound Of Flesh (1975)
  3. Death - "Keep On Knocking" from …For The Whole World To See (1975)
  4. Truth & Janey - "The Light" from No Rest For The Wicked (1976)
  5. Hooker - "The Way You Love Me" from Rock & Roll (1978)
  6. Groundhogs - "Cherry Red" from Split (1971)
  7. Orang-Utan –  Chocolate Pianofrom Orang-Utan (1971)
