Episode 567-Social Distortion- Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell

This week on America’s podcast, we dive into a band that inspired a whole generation of punk, pop-punk, and “I swear I can still fit into my old leather jacket” bands — Social Distortion and their classic album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell.
It’s just the Three Amigos on this episode — brothers in podcasting and brothers in surviving questionable music takes. No family members this week… so things might actually stay on track for once. Will this album send us straight to heaven, or will it be pure hell on the ears? No spoilers… but somebody may need emotional support hairspray by the end of the show.
Tracks of the Week
Mooger — Star Star by Joan Jett (the The Rolling Stones cover)
Marc — All You Zombies by The Hooters
Jerry — Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol

Episode 556-Diamond Head-Lightning to the Nations

This Week on America’s Podcast, we crank up the volume and dive headfirst into Lightning to the Nations by Diamond Head — the album that helped inspire a generation of thrash metal bands to pick up guitars, grow their hair out, and scare the neighbors! But here’s the big question: Is it a true NWOBHM classic… or were the cover versions by other bands actually better? Uh oh… somebody hide the comment section!
To help settle the debate (or make it even more chaotic), we bring in family members Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez. No spoilers, but let’s just say opinions fly around faster than a double bass drum beat after three energy drinks.
Tracks of the Week
Andy — Electric Eye by Judas Priest
Travis — The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent by UFO
Jerry — Breadfan by Florence Black
Marc — Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Mooger — Nosferatu Madre by Clutch

Episode 565-The Eagles-Hotel California

This week on America’s Podcast, we dive headfirst into the sun-soaked, slightly shady, totally legendary world of California as we review one of the greatest bands and albums of all time—Eagles and their iconic Hotel California. Yeah, yeah… we know there’s always that guy who says he doesn’t like them, but we’re putting it all on the table. No spoilers—just vibes, opinions, and probably a few “wait… this song rules” moments.
We’ve got Free Form family members Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez joining us, so you know things are gonna get interesting. We’ll light up some “colitas,” try to stab it with our steely knives (results may vary), and maybe take a ride down Life in the Fast Lane… all without spoiling the verdict.
🎧 Tracks Of The Week:
Jerry – Sunset Grill by Don Henley
Mooger – “Goodbye Song” by The Wild Feathers
Travis – Catch Your Train by Scorpions
Marc – “Breakdown (Live)” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Andy – “American Girl” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Until next week, check out all our shenanigans on YouTube—https://www.youtube.com/@freeformrockpodcast9076 subscribe, hit that thumbs up, and fall into the rabbit hole of After Shows, concert vids, and all the extra chaos we throw your way.
Also, leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Podbean and Podchaser—because nothing says love like clicking buttons and boosting our egos.
And hey… if you see a New Kid in Town, don’t be a jerk. Don’t make him feel like it’s been wasted time. Just hop on the 405, pray there’s no traffic (spoiler: there is), and cruise through Hotel California like you own the place.
We are out. ✌️

Episode 564-Extreme Six

This week on America’s Podcast, we dive into a band that somehow gets more side-eye than a gas station sushi tray—and honestly, we’re not having it. We’re talking about Extreme and their long-awaited album Six. A ridiculously talented band with a killer vocalist and a guitarist who could probably outplay your Wi-Fi connection on a bad day.
We’re reviewing Six, the album that took 15 YEARS to make (seriously… that’s longer than some bands stay together). Was it worth the wait? Did it rise to the occasion, or does it make you want to hit “X” faster than a pop-up ad from the early internet days? No spoilers—but let’s just say, things get interesting.
We also bring in members of the Free Form family—Al Horta and Tim Durling—because nothing says quality control like people who will absolutely call you out mid-review and still ask what’s for dinner after.
🎧 Tracks of the Week:
Mooger – Voodoo Kiss by Mr. Big
Jerry – “Awaiting Abigail” by Left Out
Al – “Say Goodbye” by Cheap Trick
Tim – “Baby You’ve Changed” by Vandenberg
Marc – “Alive After Death (Last Plane Out)” by Airbourne
Make sure you check out our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@freeformrockpodcast9076—subscribe, smash that thumbs up like it skipped your favorite solo, and dive into all the extras: the After Show, concert videos, Marc’s Quick Thoughts (quick-ish), Mooger’s Minutia Minutes (which somehow bend time), and Jerry’s Takes (no safety net).
Also, drop us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on Apple Podcasts and follow us on Podbean or Podchaser so you never miss an episode.
Until next week… maybe you’ll find us somewhere over the rainbow—or just hear someone screaming like a banshee. Either way… Free Form is OUT.

Episode 563-Metal Church-Dead to Rights

This week on America’s Podcast, we take it to 11. We’re reviewing the brand-new Dead To Rights from Metal Church—a band that’s resurrected itself and even brought in former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson.
Does this album have the brainwashing power to make you forget the old versions of the band… or is it a total waste of time? And the BIG question: how does Marc somehow connect this to The Thompson Twins?
This is a must-listen as we bring in family members Andy Rodriguez and Tim Wirasnik to help break it all down.
Tracks of the Week:Marc – “White Punks on Dope” by The TubesMooger – “Pizza Homicide” by Samurai Pizza CatsAndy – “Chemical Warfare” by SlayerTim – “The Chase Is Better Than the Catch” by MotörheadJerry – “3111” by Exodus

Episode 560-The Dust Coda- Mojo Skyline

🎙️ THIS WEEK ON AMERICA’S PODCAST 🎙️
We dig into a band that somehow dropped THREE albums and still feels like rock’s best-kept secret—The Dust Coda and their album Mojo Skyline.
