The fight bell's-a-ringing! We're jumping fist first into some spicy celeb feuds this week, with Jim and Nelmes giving us a full breakdown of Katy Perry's dancer-heist, Drake's firing some low blows, and Corey Taylor starting on....everyone?

Tuesday May 21, 2019
Welcome to our fancy new island; that's right, your boys are taking a well deserved holiday in Podcast land. In flight entertainment? IT'S EUROVISION TIME, BABY.
We unpack the annual showcase of everything camp, scantily clad and packed with cheese with 2019's Eurovision Song Contest. We get all VH1's "Where Are They Now?" with Nitro (spoiler alert, exactly where you'd imagine) and give a quick roundup of gigs we've been to over the last fortnight.
Please place your drinks tray in the upright position, and the emergency exits have been sealed up so you'd better strap yourself in for one Hell of a ride.

We've read the unholy texts, sacrificed a virgin or two, and have opened the gateway to a podcast from our jurassic period.
Welcome to the 3rd installment of our Maiden Voyage series, where your very own Children of the Damned, (Jim, Dan and Lewis) take our buddy Mike on his first ever listen through Iron Maiden's entire back-catalogue.
We're at their BEHEMOTH of a classic, the all-singing, all-dancing debut of Bruce Dickinson and rattler of parents everywhere in 1982; The Number of the Beast. We're going on a deep dive, and you're all invited!
Also covered: The Starfish, Dad wisdom, and will Steve Harris ever sell his 8-bed manor house?

24. Antony Costa: Paying the Iron Price
Wednesday Apr 24, 2019
Wednesday Apr 24, 2019
Look.
We know that we've been avoiding the question for some time; which streaming services does Jim subscribe to? Don't worry, you're finally going to get those answers as Jim is (mysteriously) incredibly keen to go through each and every one in full detail for your listening pleasure.
We also talk In Flames, Yngwie Malmsteen's "blues" album, and Lewis gets chummy with Blue's Antony Costa at the most bombastic, butt-shaking, big-haired Broadway show, Rock Of Ages.
This must be just like living in paradise.

23. Periphery IV: Hail Stan (Lee and The Butts of Marvel)
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
Tuesday Apr 09, 2019
April, you beautiful beast.
This month is shaping up to be something truly special; not only do we have the release of Avengers: Endgame to look forward to, but those delightful djentbwoiiz in Periphery have released their long awaited 4th (or 6th... you decide) studio album, Periphery IV: Hail Stan.
We talk about our first impressions of this behemoth, more gigs, and some seriously strong butt related theories from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Obviously, we couldn't stay on track and talk about what we're supposed to for too long, could we?
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

22. THE DIRT.

Tuesday Mar 26, 2019
Kneel down ye sinners to streetwise religion, the screen's been crowned the new King.
Join your boys as we dive deep into the Netflix Original adaptation of the most notorious book in rock: Mötley Crüe's "The Dirt". We backcomb every hair of their brand new biopic to see how their mammoth story fits into a 2 hour flick.
Full of your usual tangents and niche references, crack open the Jack, pull up your biggest boots and get the keys to the Harley...
..then put them down because you've had some whiskey and those boots aren't fit for driving. We want you to be safe, dude.
Fuck yeah.

In the second installment of our Maiden Voyage, we introduce our buddy Mike to Iron Maiden's second album, Killers.
Join us as we do a deep dive into the record and stumble across a long hidden secret...

Yeesh, it's been a busy few weeks for your boys at Slowly We Rock.
Recorded on a very special Valentine's Evening, Jim, Dan and Lewis did the right thing and spent it together, catching up on seeing all of the bands over the last few weeks. We know our schedule has been a bit all over the place, so you lucky folk get a bumper-length episode! It's like an Annual of heavy metal and jumping down every rabbit-hole we seem to find.
Featuring; Skid Row, Mastodon, Kvelertak, Behemoth, The Sweet, a bunch of people from Thin Lizzy, Killswitch Engage, At The Gates, and Parkway Drive among others.
We also have a returning guest; Mr Papa John and his own 'quirky' brand of humour.
