When the Imbalanced Boys were 25 episodes into this podcast, they made the move to Pantheon!

Explore all 350 eps right here on our web site, or wherever you get your podcasts (except Spotify, because they're dicking us!) Thank you for your love and support these last few years!

To understand the story of Joy Division, and how they became New Order requires some patience, and much more. The "why?" in the equation is also discussed, including the lack of support in the area of mental health in that era. The suicide of Ian Curtis might have crashed most bands, but the survivors carried on with a New Order! The impact of Joy Division carries on today. The full story unfolds in this episode: joy, pain, recovery, fortitude and incredible music! Tom Taylor wrote an article about Ian Curtis's final days for Far Out Magazine here!

This is a re-release of our #ProfilesInTheBlues episode, Bessie & The Wolf! Originally released 9/27/21: "Profiles In The Blues is a new umbrella concept on the podcast! In the initial episode, the Imbalanced Brothers delve deeper into the subjects of Bessie Smith, The Empress Of The Blues, (who's been mentioned before), and Chester Burnett's alter ego, Howlin' Wolf! Both were amazing forces of musical nature in their own unique way! These two under-appreciated American artists are part of the legacy that this podcast was founded to spotlight. While there will be many more episodes in this area, we invite you to enjoy this episode, and then dig back for our stories, and three episodes, about Robert Johnson, if you find the time! Take time to learn stuff about stuff you already know stuff about! Listen to this cool episode, and then get caught up here!!!

Often in studying Rock & Roll History, we find various points of view on the same subject, or event. It's the nature of things. But given a chance to talk with someone "who was there" is always great for the Imbalanced Boys. Suzi Ronson's friendship with Angie Bowie, and her entry into David's universe is part of the story, but with her attention to detail, she paints, more than tells, the tales included in this must-read book!!! Me & Mr. Jones, hits stores on April 4th! Be sure you listen to our conversation with her, to whet your appetite, at least!

The Imbalanced History started, as many podcasts do, with a trailer in March 2019. 10 days later, Markus and Ray released their first actual episode, A Case For The Beatles. As the podcast evolved, and began musical illustration of episodes, they went back and "re-imagined" this fun ep. Now remastered for its 5th anniversary since release. Here's the original intro: "Since joining Pantheon, we have noticed a large number of people downloading A Case For The Beatles, which was our second episode, after our trailer (Questions And Answers). New subscribers, and Beatles fans alike will enjoy our holiday gift to our audience, a reimagining of this episode. Embellished by the music and words of "the lads," we hope you like it...again!"
