Fuzz, Feels, and the Return of Pop Rocks Radio
About this episode
The episode features an interview with Dom Mariani and explores his musical journey alongside discussions of new and classic tracks.
We’re back with Episode 51! Season 2 kicks off with a full tank of fuzzed-out guitars, melodic hooks, and cult movie mayhem. This week’s featured artist is Dom Mariani —power pop icon and garage-rock lifer behind The Stems, DM3, Datura4, and more. We trace his musical trail from Perth, spinning tracks across decades and projects. Our Movie of the Week is Garage Days (2002) —a messy, heartfelt ode to underdog bands chasing the dream one grimy gig at a time. Plus: brand-new jams from Sharkeologist, Beta Trip, and Hotel Saturn, classic cuts from The Friggs and Artful Dodger , and a few weird gems you’ll be humming for days. Be good. Be weird.
