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 that’s your thing.

This week on The Monster Shop, Neil and Chris dive into Stoosh, the explosive second album from Skunk Anansie. Released in 1996, this record cemented the band’s place in the alternative rock scene, blending raw energy, political themes, and powerhouse vocals from Skin. With standout tracks like Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good), Twisted (Everyday Hurts), and Brazen (Weep), Stoosh was a bold statement that resonated with fans worldwide.

In this episode, we explore the making of the album, its unique fusion of punk, grunge, and hard rock, and how Skunk Anansie challenged social norms with their powerful lyrics. We also discuss Stoosh in the context of the 90s alternative scene alongside bands like Garbage, No Doubt, and Rage Against the Machine.

Tune in for an in-depth look at one of the most underrated yet influential albums of the decade.
