Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 20: Jono Colliver of Dr Colossus (Melbourne)
Manage episode 320247377 series 2912897
In this episode, vocalist and guitarist Jono Colliver from hard rock/metal outfit Dr Colossus embiggens us with his presence. Dr Colossus is best known for it's jocular yet affectionate retelling of episodes of the show from which the band derives it's name - The Simpsons. Although the Simpsons appears as unusual source material for metal lyrics, Jono highlights the show's well recognised dark humour, projecting dark reflections of society veiled by the program's innocent spirit. This balance of dark and light is one that Jono endeavours to reproduce when composing lyrics based on the stories that resonated with him and which he believes are relatable to his audience, in particular the Simpsons' die hard fans who can recognise Jono's selection of deep cuts. Importantly, whilst Jono's recounting of the Simpson's is certainly loving, it is not uncritical, as his lyrics contribute to essential cultural discussions around the show, in particular regarding it's representation of POC characters.
