Podwork Angels: Power Windows, 1985

It’s Podwork Angels: The Rush Hour, a podcast dedicated to the Canadian rock band Rush! Justin Mancini of TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema Joes is joined by fellow Cinema Joes podcast host Noah Franc of FrancNoir, as well as Luke Martin, host of Talking the Coda, as they delve into the discography of Canada’s favorite sons, from 1974 to 2012. In the eleventh episode of the season, Justin, Luke, and Noah discuss the apotheosis of Rush’s synth period. They diss nationalism, debate the potency of musical fadeouts, and extol the virtues of a chunky bass guitar. And as always, they recommend more non-Rush artists for your listening pleasure.
