    Fighting the Satanic Panic

    In this episode, we delve into the Satanic Panic, which was the primo moral panic of the 1980s and 90s. Specifically, we’re looking at the Satanic Panic series of albums by Vacation Bible School. This series of five albums, like much of VBS’s work, navigates the conflicting emotions brought about by being raised as an Evangelical Christian in America’s hyper-consumerist society. Join us as we unpack the layers of nostalgia, fear, and critique embedded in these evocative soundscapes.

    In this episode, we’re exploring the music of The Nightcrawlers, a trio from Philadelphia who produced over 30 cassettes of amazing cosmic and ambient synth during the 80s. We talk about one of these cassettes and then cover their more recent 2018 compilation. Their music is phenomenal so we want to say thank you to the YouTube algorithm for incepting Ross.

    Albums Discussed

    Nightcrawlers - Space Ritual at St Mary's
    The Biophonic Boombox Recordings by The Nightcrawlers

Can you say “something for everyone?!”
