Episode Details

Deep Purple just dropped their 24th studio album, SPLAT! — and they’re still crushing it. With new guitarist Simon McBride stepping in after Steve Morse, the band’s core — including 80-year-old Ian Gillan and Roger Glover — delivers tight, punchy rock that packs a wallop. All 13 tracks clock under five minutes, but every note screams energy. McBride and keyboardist Don Airey trade blistering licks, with Airey reinventing his sound through jazz piano and synths — blending classic ’70s grit with modern flair. Gillan, battling vision loss, belts out his signature poetic swagger, telling tales of aging and adversity with raw power. This isn’t nostalgia — it’s proof Deep Purple’s still a force, defying time and lineup changes to roar louder than ever.
