Ep. 8: Graveyard Brawl - 80s Goth vs. 90s Illinoize! Featuring The Swear

Episode Summary

This week we got the band back together… Literally! This episode was recorded on location in Nashville, TN after day 1 of recording with Kevin’s band; The Swear. He is joined by lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Elizabeth Elkins and drummer Kent Aberle in a discussion about the music that inspired them to become professional musicians: Goth rock for Elizabeth and Illinois based alt metal n’ punk for Kent. Listen as we take the gloves off for a 6-round death match of obscure brawlers!

Episode Notes

New to InObscuria? It’s all about digging up obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode we talk about the forgotten years of gothic rock from the 80s, and the relatively unknown impressively aggro 90s bands from the state of Illinois. Be sure to also check out what Elizabeth and Kent have to offer!
