Ep. 243: 2024 Tony Awards – New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal

InObscuria Podcast

It’s that time of the year when the boys get all spiffed up to attend the 2024 Tony Awards! No, not those Tony awards. The ones where we hand out golden pentagrams to bands that wear their denim and leather proudly! What’s old is new again with the re-interpretation of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal known as the New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal! These are all bands selected for the coveted Tony Award by the man himself: our esteemed Chairman, Mr. Tony Griggs!

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the SHOULD BEs. Taking their cues from the music, fashion, and attitude from 40+ years ago, these younger bands unashamedly bask in a new underground movement of hard rock and metal poised to make the kids rock and the old timers smile!

Songs this week include:

1. Kerrigan – “Bloodmoon” from Bloodmoon (2023)
2. LIVEWIRE – “Turbo Shark” from Turbo Shark - Single (2024)
3. Haunt – “Visions” from Dreamers (2024)
4. Traveler – “Take The Wheel” from Prequel To Madness (2024)
5. Savage – “Thirty & Dirty” from Glory Riders (2023)
6. Mean Mistreater – “One By One” from Razor Wire (2024)
7. Owlbear – “Hour Of The Dragon (Manilla Road)” from Legends And Lore (2024)
8. Ironbound – “Holy Sinners” from Serpent’s Kiss (2024)
