One of the hottest bands in America stops by the studio and we play some of our favourites

Death to pop music, right? Well you're not the only one who thinks so. Tonight we talk to Pop Evil main man Leigh Kakaty about the band's interesting name and having a bust up with Black Stone Cherry.

And you’ll find no pop on our airwaves! We’ve got the debut from Temple Of The Dog and some of the best tracks from old favourites Turbonegro, Stone Sour and Scorpions as well as Kvelertak, Candlemass, Spinnerette and Philip H Anselmo.

We’ll also be talking about one of our favourite inventions – the internet. And not just because it lets you visit Metal Hammer every day, but because of bonkers websites like China’s Taobao where you can find almost anything for sale. There’s everything from live scorpions and breast milk soap to a boyfriend for hire and a working drone.

Which got us thinking, what’s the strangest thing you’ve bought online?

Tune in to Team Rock Radio online or on DAB tonight at 9pm.
