Episode 214: Hum

Every Album Ever w/ Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we're discussing every album by Hum. While they can technically be considered a one-hit-wonder with their song "Stars" from 1995's You'd Prefer an Astronaut, Hum did way more and influenced so many more than they get credit for. Equal parts grunge, indie, and chunky post-hardcore--Hum has a style and personality so distinct, you can hear how much they influenced bands like Deftones today.

Closing track: “Scraper” from Electra 2000 (1993)
