Author: Bryan Quinby & John Cullen

Keep on rollin', baby. It's your favorite podcast about nu-metal, featuring Bryan Quinby (Guys) and John Cullen (Blocked Party) covering a classic nu-metal album every month. More than just the music, the podcast really digs into the vibes of the time from two guys who lived it, and never stopped thinking nu-metal was good. Probably because it really, really is.

Episode 77: Spineshank's "Strictly Diesel", or Searching for a Single
Episode 77
Monday, 5 January, 2026

After literal years of trying, one of Bryan's most beloved nu-metal albums, "Strictly Diesel", gets the P.O.D. Kast treatment, and it's probably no surprise that he still loves it...but John loves it too. A true testament of the era, it has all the production quality and heaviness of a late-90s nu-metal album from one of the rare bands that wasn't afraid to say they really liked Korn, Deftones, and Fear Factory, and tried to make an album that borrowed from all of them. We do bemoan the lack of a single on the album in a nu-metal era that demanded singles, and felt like that could've been the one piece the band was missing to truly catapult them to stardom. That and maybe that they admit they were drunk almost all of the time and they certainly were not smart, as Jonny Santos gives us one of the funniest quotes in the show's history. But hey, we love them and we love this album. If you want some more funny stuff, why not head on over to our Patreon?
