About this episode

The episode features an interview with the band Zilch, discussing their music and influences in the neo-grunge movement.

Bringing Back Grunge The United Kingdom's Zilch is quickly becoming one of the leading bands in the growing neo-grunge movement, blending the raw energy and emotion of '90s grunge with a fresh modern sound. As someone who grew up during the grunge era, it's exciting to see bands like Zilch keeping that spirit alive for a new generation. I first discovered Zilch on TikTok, then started following their journey on Instagram and adding their music to my regular Spotify rotation. Their sound immediately stood out, and I knew I wanted to learn more about the band behind it. In this interview, we dive into Zilch's origin story, first band names, musical influences, songwriting, the surprising reason he says he sounds nothing like James Hetfield of Metallica, and much more. If you're a fan of grunge, alternative rock, post-grunge, or discovering new independent bands, this is an interview you won't want to miss.
