Break Rock Down

Let's talk music! Have you ever heard the terms "Yacht Rock," "Space Rock," or "Punk Rock" thrown around? Have you wondered what these subgenres are, or what they sound like? In this podcast we break down various genres of rock music. We talk about how the genre came to be, some stylistic characteristics of the genre, and tell stories of notable artists who pioneered the genre. If you're a fan of rock music looking to expand your horizons/explore genres you may have heard of, but not heard, learn about the many different branches of rock music with us.

    Informative … and entertaining!
    This is the only podcast I don’t listen to at 1.5 speed. On a biweekly basis, Kate comes armed with a bandolier of information about a new genre of rock music. Fun, accessible, and a pleasant way to spend a half hour. In short, it rocks.

    Great podcast - well researched, well done!
    Really great break downs of rock genres. You get to learn a little about each subgenre’s history and hear examples. I learned a lot!

    Must have for any rock aficionado or someone looking to discover new music
    Very impressive pod covering different genres of rock music. Extremely professional, well-researched and produced. It’s only two episodes in so my only notes so far are it could be longer and a little less dry. I am exciting to hear what’s next. Great job!
