Free Form Rock Podcast
Welcome to the wild world of the Free Form Rock Podcast, where we embrace every riff, solo, and scandalous hairdo from the glorious era of rock! If you’re a purist, a metal elitist who believes that any sound that isn’t an 8-minute guitar solo is akin to sacrilege, then this is your warning: you might want to turn down the volume and stick to your ‘perfect’ playlist filled with only the heaviest and most obscure bands that your no-caffeine diet can handle. Here, we celebrate everything from shaking your head to classic rock anthems to moshing like a maniac at a metal concert! We love all the forms of rock—classic, metal, and everything in between. So, if your idea of a good time is debating over which band had the best leather pants, you’re in for quite the ride! Sit back, relax, and remember: we don’t take ourselves too seriously—because if we did, we’d be stuck in the ‘70s, arguing over whether Led Zeppelin was better than Black Sabbath while wearing questionable platform shoes. Join us as we rock out the way rock was meant to be—loud, unapologetic, and just a little ridiculous! Tune in, turn it up, and let’s jam through the delightful chaos of our favorite tunes together!

🎙️ THIS WEEK ON AMERICA’S PODCAST 🎙️
We dig into a band that somehow dropped THREE albums and still feels like rock’s best-kept secret—The Dust Coda and their album Mojo Skyline.
Is this thing a full-on rocker… or does it stall out like your car when you crank the volume too high? 🚗💨 Either way—it’s a must listen, especially for the humor, hot takes, and straight-up shenanigans from the crew.

This week we crank up the thrash machine and dive into Persistence of Time by Anthrax with family members Eric Lussier and Tim Wirasnik.
This album is darker, heavier, and moodier than a metalhead who just found out his favorite band replaced the guitarist with a keyboard player. The big question is… should this album be discharged… or have we got the time to let it spin? No spoilers, but expect ...

This week on America’s Podcast — maybe a little dysfunctional, definitely loud — family member Travis Perrotta joins us as we crank up the Way Back Machine and rocket straight into the 1980s. You know, back when the riffs were hard, the melodies were massive, the jeans were tighter than your cable budget, and MTV actually played music.
We’re diving into Under Lock and Key by Dokken — the album that somehow got recorded without the ...

This week on America’s Podcast™, we go back to a classic album — and if you don’t know why this one matters… honestly, what are you doing with your life? 😅
That’s right: Led Zeppelin II. The riffs. The swagger. The album that made rock put on tighter pants and never look back.

This Week on America’s Podcast… U2 hits the reset button ⚡🌍
Family members Eddy Cannistraci and Andy Rodriguez join us as we dive into U2’s Achtung Baby — the album famously described as the band taking an axe to The Joshua Tree and saying, “Yeah… we’re not doing that again.”
Did U2 successfully reinvent themselves in 1991? Did they shock the fans, the charts, and the music world? Did this change the course of music forever?

This Week on America’s Podcast… we Cover My Six 🤘😬
We dive headfirst into the wild (and sometimes painful) world of dreadfully bad cover songs. Each of us picked six covers that should’ve stayed in the rehearsal room, and no — it’s not just a full episode of Mötley Crüe cover covers… although we thought about it 😂
