The Mostly Music Podcast, Ep. 7: Gravehuffer 101

I had a great time chatting with the Missouri-based Gravehuffer, a band that explores facets of sludge, doom, crust, punk, and grindcore. We touched on the topics of band history, influences, the writing/recording process, etc., but it was my standard “dream tour lineup” question with which they seemed to have the most fun.

Check out the interview below, and make sure to subscribe to my channel! You can also learn more about Gravehuffer on their various socials and listen to them on your streaming service of choice.

Female-Fronted Friday: Allie Riot

When: 2024

Where: California

Genre: Punk/Metal/Shock

FFO: Joan Jett, Wednesday 13, Poppy

Allie Riot blazed onto the scene in late 2024 with her rendition of The Runaways’ classic “Cherry Bomb.” Soon after, she released a rather spicy video, produced and directed by Society 1’s Matt Zane, to accompany the single, and her place as a shock punk princess was cemented. Allie followed “Cherry Bomb” with a G.G. Allin cover (“Gimme Some Head”), which was also paired with an appropriately risqué video.

However, in early 2026, she showcased her metal chops with the release of “Say Your Name,” offering a glimpse of her versatility. I am excited to see what’s next from Allie Riot!

You can check out “Say Your Name” and her other videos below. Be sure to follow her socials for updates and more music!

Anyway, please check it out, hit that thumbs-up, and if you really dig it, subscribe to my channel!!!
