After a storm felled a tree and cut power to Maria and Matt’s place, the show naturally answered with The Doors, Truckfighters, The Kinks, Baroness, AC/DC, King Buffalo, Alien Weaponry, and A Perfect Circle. Expect storms, momentum, TNT, suspicious robot weather control, and absolutely no guarantee the lights stay on.

Maria takes the controls while Matt remains only partially present, which may or may not be an improvement.

This week, Matt and Maria take a strange and splendid Friday detour through Patti Smith, Judas Priest, Propagandhi, Twisted Sister, Frank Zappa, Yes, David Bowie remixed by Nine Inch Nails, and Aotearoa’s own Head Like a Hole.

Matt and Maria were joined this week by special guest Geoff, formerly of Fresh FM’s The Dave Harris Show, for an excellent Friday evening wander through big riffs, deep cuts, and one properly epic long song. There was music from Cave In, Failure, The Cult, Black Peaks, Blue Cheer, and Oceansize, plus Maria’s pick from the new Nine Inch Noize album, Copy of A.

Matt and Maria head into the sonic dust storm with a playlist featuring Kyuss, Sleep, Quiet Riot, a live cut from Queensrÿche, the beautiful weirdness of Mr Bungle, and Pearl Jam bringing it home. It’s a Friday at 5 blend of heavy grooves, classic firepower, and just enough unpredictability to keep the Evil Robot Overlord fully amused and only mildly concerned.

This Friday at 5, Forty six & 2 cuts a wide path through mood, muscle, and momentum. From the electronic lift of Jam & Spoon to the steel edge of Judas Priest, the strange swagger of Barbarians of California, the curveball charm of Dr Hook, a live hit of Puscifer, and a fresh blast from Muse, this episode moves between styles without losing its grip.
