Love this show. Yasi is so funny and spends a wild amount of time researching the bands.

Yasi’s show helped me recover from surgery .I’ve learn so much about bands I thought I was the biggest fan of and appreciate groups I felt mid about. Smart,witty and a can’t wait to hear more.

I couldn’t get through the No Doubt episode because of all the “babes” and Yasi was downright condescending to the expert on the Phish episode. I’m not a Phish fan either, but the disdain with which she approached the episode made me wonder who was holding her at gunpoint forcing her to discuss...Read full review »

An insufferable personality; LA fake-deep personified.

Love the draft podcasts…. Wish they’d do more.

I’ve only listened the PJ Harvey episodes so far (but that’s 8 hours of listening) and I’ve learned a lot and pushed past some podcasty turns of phrase that I find annoying. But I must protest, the mispronunciations on this show are awful to hear. Rakim as “Ra-keem”? Cillian Murphy as “Sillian”?...Read full review »

I miss bandsplain, tired of the question show
jblade via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/24
It should be renamed the 24 Questions podcast

…. But for sure, also staying for the talk about grief. Keep it coming babe. ❤️❤️❤️

Great deep dive into some of the best music ever made. Unfortunately, listening feels more like a chore then a choice.

Found this while searching for Jenny Lewis podcast appearances. What a great idea to divulge into a band/artist, and then later become an interviewing musicians pod. I've listened to a handful. I LOVE the Jenny Lewis and Liz Phair episodes. You lose 1 star for your Rilo Kiley episode. Around...Read full review »

Definitely my favorite health and wellness podcast
jalexwash via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/24
Trying to slog through THE SMITHS episodes…it’s unstructured, long, unprepared, meandering, retells the story of both biographies of Marr and Morrissey with little additional insight. What insight they give is surface. Often you find yourself feeling like you’re in a bad conversation at a party...Read full review »

Thoroughly researched. Tons of context. Just a great show all around.
TheWickedYaker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/24
I love a slightly younger much cooler person’s deep dive into the music of my golden era. Yasi makes my early pre-dawn commute feel so much better. She is incredibly bright and articulate, and truly does these bands justice. Some amazing guests, including Rob Harvilla. Great eps to start with if...Read full review »

For someone who’s devoured every Behind the Music and book on any musical artist I’ve been remotely interested in, this podcast is perfect. Yasi is hilarious and makes it fun. I now have something to listen to on drives. I do take umbrage with her saying she doesn’t know the difference between an...Read full review »

Change the hosts. Made it through 15-20 min of the Depeche Mode part 1 episode and I just couldn’t take it anymore. Great concept, love the idea, and there’s definitely an audience for this, but the hosts… “like, kind of, like, whatever,… “ the overall smug, condescending tone, the overall large...Read full review »

It’s been a long time since I’ve been so utterly delighted as when I devoured both parts of the Talking Heads deep-dive. So thoughtfully researched and overstuffed with heart and wit. I can even forgive you two for calling Naked “mid”. I audibly gasped and pearls may have been clutched! But how...Read full review »

It’s a music and band review podcast. Maybe playing more than a comically short excerpt of a song wouldn’t be so bad. And I agree with JGEN-X, cut out the gen-z slang.
zac_s via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/23
I’m listening to the u2 episode. Every time they stop to play an excerpt of a song being discussed it only lasts half a second. What are we doing here?
He who shall remain nameless via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/23
Just listened to my first episode on my favorite band, The Clash featuring Brian Fallon (singer from another one of my favorite bands. So good! Great research. Great insight. No I’m clearing my schedule to listen to more. Amazing music podcast
problemaddic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/23
This is the first podcast review I’ve ever written and I’m writing it because I love this podcast so much. It is so smart, informative, nostalgic, and just plain awesome. Pixies were my gateway drug into this rabbit hole. I pulled the car to the side of the road when KXLU in LA played Bone...Read full review »

Has introduced me to lots of great music, and filled me with renewed love for some old favorites. Thanks Yasi!

I really wanted to make it through the Smiths episodes and move onto others but holy wow this host is frustratingly annoying with her constant cursing and all-too-frequent “babes” punctuating every quip. The most off-putting detail was her constant insults towards Morrissey, never missing a...Read full review »

I came to write almost the same review JGEN-X did a couple days ago. Please don’t pretend to be Gen-X er , but is a Milennial, and use Gen -Z slang . The over use of snarking and “ Babe” is like a bad impression of trying to be revelent. The bands and interviews are good and I will continue to...Read full review »
TiredGen-Xer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
Overall, I enjoy the subject matter and getting to hear the biographical stuff, thoughtful pondering and dissecting of lyrics/album titles/etc. But, the host’s delivery is absolutely irritating; the vocal fry, the “um”s, the sarcastic giggling, the humble bragging, the millennial-trying-to-be...Read full review »

If you are deeply interested in a band, then this is the podcast for you. The host, Yasi, does an immense amount of research and presents the band’s story in a very entertaining and insightful fashion. I have listened to the podcasts for 5 different bands, while I enjoyed them all, Yasi’s guests...Read full review »

In my limited experience the only really good music pod

Nah
Once I started the episode and heard astrology talk and the hosts voice I was out…
NastyLadd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/23
The original format of show (guest comes on to sing the praises of a band) was promising, but the host just kinda poohed-poohed all the stuff which made bands unique. The updated format is a lot more band biographies and the eps are really bloated (we can all read wikipedia entires on our own)....Read full review »

Full disclosure - I only recently stumbled on this podcast, I searched Neutral Milk Hotel after seeing the new Elephant 6 documentary and for the 3 hour marathon episode on NMH alone this show is getting a five star review, it’s awesome. Have saved a handful of other eps and subscribed. The...Read full review »

So glad this is on Apple Podcasts now! I used to have Spotify and would listen all the time. Every episode helps me either discover or re-discover a band and gets the musical juices flowing. Also, Yasi could run me over with a truck if she wanted to :)
Sean from Kansas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/23
The ultimate deep dive into a band’s DNA, discography, and allure. I listened to over 6 hours on the Smashing Pumpkins and wanted more. Who knew Sarah McLachlan’s Angel was inspired by the death of the Pumpkins touring keyboardist Johnathan Melvoin? Bandsplain did! I laughed and cried as I...Read full review »

IForgotToPutInTheCrystals via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/23
Thank you SO MUCH for covering Cocteau Twins! I’m one of those Gen Xers who fell in love with their music in the late 80’s and at the time it was always so hard to find any info about them. I learned a lot listening to you and your guest and it made my day. Keep doin’ your thing, sista!
the og viking hen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/23
Addicted to this podcast, can’t stop listening. Just want Yasi to know she has more listeners that just weird loner guys. I appreciate her love of PJ Harvey, and her indignation about people not reading books. Highly intelligent and informed podcast for music lovers.
r_e_d_octopus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/23
While informative, it’s hard to continually hear “babes” or “babe” at random times. The context of the times when talking about women is important. It falls short and is very America-centric. But even then, not talking about other notables like Amy Lee or Lacey Sturm seem odd, yet forgivable. The...Read full review »

Just found this podcast. Liz Phair seems like a great hang and Yasi shared my love of learning about the music and artists behind it. Looking forward to catching up on past pods.
Spaceagedwizkid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/23
Yasi- thank you!!!! You are such a fantastic interviewer. I love your podcast and the subjects you choose. I have learned a lot. I was so so excited when I saw you picked Rilo Kiley . I hope you can see Jenny Lewis in concert . She is so amazing, talented, and lovely. Yes !!!!! Thank you
msrosie4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/23
Sad to say that it took me so long to discover Yasi. It annoys me that I was looking for female led content but that the truth. And she’s killer for it and now I don’t feel so guilty for loving music that much. You are the best. This Radiohead deep dive has been utter joy. Luxuriating in...Read full review »

It is a little hard to put into words how I feel about this pod. Partly cuz I sux w them but …. Hours of pure joy is what I get from listening to Yasi and her pals lay out the history of any band.
