  • Summary

  • Bad Band Great Song is a music critique show that explores what critique means and how it affects us... while also doing the thing. But it's primarily a show about Bad Bands who happen to have Great Songs. In each season we look at a collection of bands and some hallmark songs of theirs. We then, in each episode, tell the band's story, discuss the key song's creation and relevance, analyze and assess how the band may be considered bad, and finally, we declare that a song of theirs is great. And we defend that. Disagreement is encouraged.

    S2E7 - OMC, How Bizarre.
    Nov 16 2021

    This episode marks a major milestone moment in the show. The boys find themselves asking, "Is this band bad?", as opposed to telling you, "This band is bad".

    OMC, aka Otara Millionaires Club, is a one-hit-wonder with a novelty song — to most people. But singer Pauly Fuemana's story goes much deeper than that. And OMC is just the tip of the iceberg of a vibrant scene of Musika Pasifika.

    Join us this week as the boys break their brains and try to understand how a band could be bad even though they made a good album.

  • S2E6 - She Wants Revenge, Tear You Apart.

    S2E6 - She Wants Revenge, Tear You Apart.
    Nov 9 2021

    As friend of the show Oscar Wilde once wrote, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” How 'bout that? Isn't that interesting? Fascinating stuff.

    She Wants Revenge is a duo comprising Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin aka Adam 12, former DJ for Crazy Town (and Prince... And Obama...). They're a heavily produced goth-tinged post-punk band that had the goal of getting the cool kids on the dance floor. Warfield's journey has taken him from downbeat conscious-rap, to psych-rock, to rap inflected industrial, to She Want's Revenge's brand of what could be called post-punk.

    Join us as Jerry and Andrew discuss things like "authenticity", sticking to themes, nailing a sound perhaps at the cost of having substance, and gothic post-punk written for people who wanna fuck.

    S2E5 - Smash Mouth, All Star.
    Nov 2 2021

    We're going to Flavortown, folks! On today's episode of BBGS the boys tackle a big one, the band Smash Mouth and their song "All Star". "All Star" is one of the most profitable and licensed out songs ever. Smash Mouth is seen by many as a joke, but their story is anything but funny.

    Join Jerry and Andrew as they discuss melt-downs, bread, why Guy Fieri hates eggs, and the importance of being feminine.
