Long before Guns N' Roses took over the world, a gang out of Helsinki had already perfected the art of volume, chaos, and beautifully bad decisions. This week, we’re diving headfirst into the swagger and wreckage of Smack—the band that built a filthy little bridge between Finnish grit and L.A. glam.

Smack became the ultimate musician’s band—worshipped by the future legends, ignored by the charts, and living just reckless enough to burn through every opportunity they touched.

This is what happens when talent, timing, and trouble collide. Join us as we dig into a legacy that’s raw, ragged, and just a little bit tragic.

This week in the Gutter, we dive headfirst into a technicolor blur of sequins, swagger, and electric riffs with modern Glam rocker Gyasi (Pronounced Jah-See). In this episode, we explore how the Nashville-based artist revives the theatrical spirit of Bowie and T. Rex while carving a sound and vision that’s entirely his own. He’s not living in their shadow. He’s kicking the door in, platform boots first, dragging Glam rock into the present with snarling guitars, twisted hooks, and a whole lot of attitude.

Hey Peeps! The never ending Swag continues on our latest episode on the band Love/Hate. Two things,......1. Note the PMRC advisory sticker on Wasted In America....remember those days? Is this now a "collectible" ? Asking for a friend.....2,.......back when record companies actually put money into the product, enough for the band to print endless song lyrics and thank you's..........

This week in The Gutter, we get a little emotional over Love/Hate.

While the Sunset Strip was choking on Aqua Net and major-label promises, Love/Hate came in wired, wild-eyed… and just a little weird. Fronted by the feral charisma of Jizzy Pearl, they had the hooks. They had the riffs. They had the attitude. What they didn’t have was timing.

Their debut, Blackout in the Red Room, felt sharp, dangerous, and a little too real for a scene already collapsing under its own excess.

And then there was the crucifixion stunt. Outrageous. Ridiculous. Maybe even a little desperate. But subtle? Never..

This week in The Gutter, we crank up Sweden’s sleaziest soul survivors: Diamond Dogs. Born in the early ’90s with riffs in their teeth and a full-blown addiction to the ragged glory of the Stones and ’70s glam, these guys built it the hard way — sweat-soaked clubs, piano-pounding swagger, and sticky hooks. We dig into the glam-streaked roots, the bar-band hustle, and the unkillable groove that kept them strutting long after trends crashed and burned. https://open.spotify.com/episode/00IH1slYML6h9GT4qr21eU?si=68a77506bb7d4a2e

Even more swag from the collection, Company Of Wolves from our most recent podcast episode, and a couple of stragglers from previous episodes on Lords Of The New Church and the band Slade......

This week in The Gutter, we’re dragging Company of Wolves back into the light — a New York band that had the songs, the swagger, the connections… and the worst timing imaginable. Right place. Right attitude. Wrong time.

Company of Wolves fused East Coast grit with radio-ready hooks, big choruses, and killer riffs. Their 1990 self-titled album is slick enough for radio, rough enough for the streets — and somehow still got ignored.

And then there’s Steve Conte — who didn’t disappear when Company of Wolves folded. He just kept working. Loud, quiet, behind the scenes, and everywhere else. From the New York Dolls in their second act to becoming Michael Monroe’s go-to songwriter, producer, and musical Swiss Army knife, Conte turned “cult-band survivor” into a long, legit career.

Even MORE Zero's Swag! Here's some things I forgot I had....remember cassette tapes kids? Some of us do! On the 4-3-2-1 tape, notice it's autographed by Danny and Sammy, and Danny even drew a cartoon character face with the infamous eyebrows we talked about on our Zeros episode. Note the Stacy Starrr autograph on the "Rules The World" tape and the fact that the actual cassette is purple is way cool! May be gone, but never forgotten! Long Live The Zeros!

Even More Zeros Swag! The hat was Autographed by Sammy Serious and Danny Dangerous when they played The Mason Jar Lounge in Phoenix Arizona, Notice the Hutchinson brothers started their own band after leaving the Zeros. They released an album titled "Plastic Fruit and Popcorn" which I own but couldn't find for the photo, but really solid album that I think is on Spotify.
