New to InObscuria? It’s all about digging up obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. In this episode we talk about the lost and forgotten gems of the 00s. A decade where the ideas of record companies, albums, physical product, GarageBand, and the old way of promoting artists were all challenged. This decade literally changed the path for how music was to be consumed going forward. Songs this week include: Injected – “Burn I...
