It’s Punk Rock Month ’22! Punk Rock Month ’22 wraps up with a new, completely gobby episode all about the one and only, Sex Pistols! The Imbalanced Brothers always mock Johnny Rotten, but it’s done lovingly (sic), most of the time! He, along with Steve, Glen, Cookie, and, of course, Sid combined forces for one big noise, but the aftershocks lasted for years! Like a massive Punk tsunami, the Pistols’ shadow covers a lot of bands, and sounds, which came after their noisy, f*cked up arrival! And props must be given to their Svengali, Malcolm McLaren, who is a huge part of this week’s story. What a great episode to wrap up the second edition of Punk Rock Month, with ideas for ’23 already poppin’ up! Find all of our episodes (and more) here: https://imbalancedhistory.com/

A “Tru-ish” Rock N’ Roll Story As Seen By Us A while back, Ray saw this Urban Myths “tru-ish” short film, “When Bowie Met Bolan” on Showtime. He mentioned it to Markus, but (despite MG’s love of both singers) he was initially lukewarm about doing an episode. Yet, here it is. Time goes by, memories gets foggy, but we are sure that David and Marc met early in their respective careers, and shared a manager. The rest is fun, unexpected, and provides a glimpse of these two future stars. Markus and Ray give an overview then work their way through the story in this week’s episode.
