The Smashing Skull Sessions
The Smashing Skull Sessions is a podcast, interview and review website, set up to showcase and support the underground rock and metal scenes. Our goal is to promote artists and bands from right across the globe, giving them another voice and another forum in which to get their music out to a greater audience. We also have a new review series, The Review Room, which is another unique way of getting bands and artists some extra coverage and promotion. The podcast is hosted by me, Pat O Regan, and I hope to offer my guests a different style of interview which is relaxed, unscripted and fun! On The Review Room, I'm joined by Tim Pijnenburg, Rich Buley & Rich Murphy, where we play and discuss some of the finest new releases that span many genres and styles. The show is entertaining, informative and well worth a listen! However, none of this is possible without the support of you music lovers. We are eternally grateful to every person who subscribes, shares, likes and listens to the shows and reads the reviews. To the bands, be sure to hit us up and let us help in promoting your art, whether through interview or review. Thanks to you all! The Smashing Skull Sessions - Always Supporting The Scene
