398. Kevin Kirk - The Heavy Metal Shop

from Blowing Smoke with Twisted Rico · host Steev Riccardo

Today’s guest is nothing short of a legend. Kevin Kirk joins us to talk about the iconic institution he built: The Heavy Metal Shop in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you’ve ever seen that unmistakable skull logo or the words “Peddlin Evil” on a T-shirt, you already know the vibe. Since the 1980s, Kevin’s shop has been a sanctuary for headbangers, punks, and music obsessives—and his merch has become a badge of honor worn by everyone from Alice Cooper to Slayer. We dive into the history, the music, and the lasting legacy of one of America’s most legendary record stores.Music ClipsThe Charms "So Pretty"The Dogmatics "I Love Rock N Roll"Watts "Heavy Metal Kids"Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo
