AGITATORS ANONYMOUS the Alan Averill Podcast

Today's episode has been quite a while in the making but here we are, a chat with Aaron Stainthorpe from Towards the Sinister, High Parasite and ex My Dying Bride of course. We go all the way back to the origins of the band in the late 80s, the birth of the doom/death scene all the way to this year and all the controversy surrounding his exit from My Dying Bride and the birth of Towards the Sinister.

I happened be right there last weekend at a protest and subsequent riot in France, right there.....front row seats, I spent all day among the protestors and all night watching the rioting and looting. 20 yards away, and todays podcast is what I saw, my observations and my attempt at understanding the context. As always it's way more complicated than you might think and there are far more factors and actors at play than it seems or that you might be able to see from a 15 second reel on the gram. I try to remain apolitical, unemotional and even handed, so if you are looking for angry hot takes, you won't find em here! Is this the fall of the West? is it coming to a city near you?.....find out
and watch the movie 'La Haine'......

Does everything have to be political....all of the time? After the recent, largely manufactured drama over a statement by James Hetfield to the contrary I look at the backlash, how much of it is real, what the freezing effect is and why it's perfectly find to not signal to any tribe and not be interested in politics.

another legend has left the building, Cronos from Venom. Taken way too early. Venom were probably the most important band in my development as young metalhead, the rock upon which the church was built, so to say, so I put some random thoughts together for today's episode
apologies for the slightly odd sound, this was recorded remotely

After a short two week enforced interlude I'm back, not in the studio for this one but recording remotely. Today's podcast is about Angry Anderson, a true rock n roll legend who passed away during the week. I wonder is it even possible for a band like this to exist in modern society anymore? Genuine working class heroes with a truly menacing air who turned their pub yob rock into an institution that stood for integrity and comradeship, which deeply resonated with people in a way few bands are able to. If a band appeared now claiming the same wouldn't we imagine it was conceit? this and more on today's podcast
Forgive the slightly different audio!
