Riffology: Iconic Rock Albums Podcast

Welcome to Riffology!, here we embrace the mid life crisis by revisiting the most iconic records from our youth. Join us as we discuss the horror of realising we quite like some of the same things our parents did now. We talk about music too, if thatโ€™s your thing.

RIFF049 – Little Angels – Young Gods
byRiffology

In this episode of Riffology, Neil and Chris shine a spotlight on Little Angels and their 1991 breakthrough album The Young Gods. Often overshadowed by the grunge explosion in the US, Little Angels carved out a distinctive space in the UKโ€™s hard rock sceneโ€”combining stadium ambition with sharp songwriting and radio-friendly polish.

We explore how The Young Gods straddled the late โ€™80s and early โ€™90s British rock identity, why they were often mistaken for American acts, and how labels like Geffen tried (and struggled) to break British bands into the US market. The conversation touches on their Bon Jovi-esque sound, their place in the transitional period of UK rock, and how their music fits into the evolution that eventually led to bands like Bush and Feeder.

๐ŸŽธ Expect deep dives, nostalgic tangents, and a celebration of a band that deserved more recognition outside the UK.
