Danny Vaughn of Tyketto joins Eric in conversation to take a track by track look back at the band's 1994 sophomore release, Strength In Numbers. Produced by legendary producer Kevin Elson, their follow-up to Don't Come Easy had a difficult journey making it's way onto shelves following the whole wave of grunge that displaced many bands of the time. Danny shares his personal memories and all the details behind the album's creation and journey.
A solid fan favorite, Strength In Numbers features some songs that were should-have-been monstrous AOR hits of the day - Rescue Me, Catch My Fall, Standing Alone. But the album also demonstrated the band was interested in growing and branching out. They were writing deeper, smarter, and more varied songs at the time. There are some healthy and authentic dashes of blues, Springsteen-esque singer-songwriter, mandolins, harmonicas, Bo Diddly beats, sweeping almost-progressive rockers and so much more.
For the 25th anniversary of the album, Tyketto will be doing some touring where they'll perform the full album in its entirety - get those details here. They also have a new live CD and DVD that captures and ambitious performance featuring horns and strings. On the solo front, Danny has a super-interesting new solo album of "odd songs" in the works and well as his duet project with Dan Reed of Dan Reed Network.
If you're familiar with Tyketto, you'll enjoy this in-depth discussion of this classic album. If you're new to the band, hopefully you'll listen and discover a truly solid rock album from 1994 that you may have missed the first time around.
When we last left Pods & Sods, Eric was doing his best to convince Craig to believe in Father KISSmas. The story picks up much where we left off.

Dave Leslie of Baby Animals joins Eric in conversation to take a track by track look back at their self-titled 1991 debut album. Recorded at Bearsville Studios in New York, the Baby Animals album was produced by Mike Chapman, it went eight times platinum in Australia, spawned five highly charting radio friendly rock hits (Rush You, One Word, Ain't Gonna Get, Early Warning, and Painless), won tons of ARIA awards and various accolades and sat as the highest selling Australian debut rock album for well over a decade.
In the United States, their single Painless was picked up by MTV and put into heavy rotation, they appeared on Late Night With David Letterman, and toured the country opening for Van Halen. Unfortunately, a faltering record label and distance would prove to be major obstacles for growing success in the United States unfortunately.
If you're familiar with Baby Animals, you'll enjoy this in-depth discussion of their legendary debut. If you're new to the band, hopefully you'll listen and discover a truly solid rock album from 1991 that you may have missed the first time around.
It's that time of year... For the last four years around this time, Eric and Craig have warmed your earbuds with a discussion about what is in the KISSmas stocking. This year, Eric brings Craig a gift of pizza and attempts to twist his arm and make him talk about KISS for one more year.
