Few bands in #PunkRock history made so much noise with so little commercial impact! Wendy O. Williams led this band through it all, despite their lack of a big time break out! The Imbalanced Boys wrap up Punk Rock Month 2023 with a deep dive into this band driven by wild ideas, hot riffs, and crazy stage antics!

The history of the band and their manager, Rod Swenson's role is told in detail. The stage antics, the wild look, but mainly Markus and Ray discuss the music, and its impact. They also discuss Willliams' suicide, and the importance of the new 988 mental health call line in the U.S.!

We hope you've enjoyed #PRM23, now dig into its' wild, abrasively wonderful conclusion with The Plasmtics!

Punk Rock Month rolls on! Week 2 is all about the musical brainchild of Greg Ginn, co-founder of Black Flag, the teenage owner of his electronics company, and head of SST Records! The Imbalanced Brothers explore the varied phases of the band, its somewhat fluid vocalist role, until they found the man who solidified the spot!

Both of the guys get into it, but Markus dives deep into the wormhole in this episode! His enthusiasm and knowledge shine throughout! As often happens they both discover things both forgotten, and previously unknown. Hope that you discover something, too!

It's our belief that more people know OF Dead Kennedys, and their incendiary leader Jello Biafra, than actually know the band, and their music. Markus and Ray look to change that this week for the kickoff of Punk Rock Month 2023!

Their part in the San Francisco faction of WC Punk is clear, but we still found things to learn about DKs and the Boys share it all with you!

There's tons to take in, and a bunch more to learn, as the boys did in their DKs adventure!

1973 was one helluva year! Behind the good, the bad AND the ugly of the world, there was music, an incredible motherlode of creativity exploding from all genres, changing our musical culture. Markus and Ray hop in the Imbalanced Time Machine to help paint the picture of their experiences that year.

That includes a deep dive into the rabbit hole as they run down the full list of albums released in '73. The music frames the whole episode, and will evoke some strong memories!

This is a recurring exercise, and given the impact of 1971 and 1972, can you expect '73 to be any less a part of your life experience?

Sooooo, buckle in for a fun adventure, especially if you remember...
