Finding Emo

Ep065 - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket by blink-182 Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Finding Emo, now in video form! We're trying a new thing and going to start releasing episodes in video form on Youtube and Spotify. Let us know your thoughts! We went out of order on blink-182 albums, but are finally getting around to discussing the band's monstrous follow up to Enema of the State. Singles "The Rock Show", "First Date", and "Stay Together For the Kids" contributed to the album selling over 15 million copies worldwide, but we love the whole dang thing. But you can hear the tension. Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker had different ideas of how to follow up the success of Enema - they managed to make this stellar record. Track listing 1. "Anthem Part Two" 2. "Online Songs" 3. "First Date" 4. "Happy Holidays, You Bastard" 5. "Story of a Lonely Guy" 6. "The Rock Show" 7. "Stay Together for the Kids" 8. "Roller Coaster" 9. "Reckless Abandon" 10. "Everytime I Look for You" 11. "Give Me One Good Reason" 12. "Shut Up" 13. "Please Take Me Home"

Ep064 - The Artist in the Ambulance by Thrice Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

Blake really hadn't listened to much Thrice (ya know, due to the screaming and him being an overall wuss), so it was fun to get a fresh first perspective. Plus Kyle picked the most screamy song clips possible.

Ep063 - Say It Like You Mean It by The Starting Line Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

We went out of order with The Starting Line because we love their sophomore effort so much, but went back to their debut album for this episode. We basically feel like it's a real shame we only got 3 full length albums from this band, as this album has one of the the best pop-punk songs of all time on it.

Ep062 - The Everglow by Mae Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

2005 was a heck of year for music, but The Everglow is hovering at the top of all of the guys' "best of" lists for that year (and maybe the decade?!). It's full of great melodies, optimistic lyrics, and works so well from front to back as an album. We wish more people loved Mae, because they deserve it.

Ep061 - Deja Entendu by Brand New Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

The guys have complicated feelings about Brand New, which is no surprise if you listened to the Your Favorite Weapon episode. How can they like the music so much, but dislike everyone else talking about how much they like the music? (they understand it doesn't make sense).

Ep060 - 2022 Year End Review Dec 26, 2022

Show notes

SNACK! Interview with Chris from Shower Beers Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

We normally talk about really old music, but on today's snack we chat with a super fresh band - so fresh they just released their 2nd single ever this week! Kyle found the band on Reddit and invited Chris from Shower Beers to join us to talk about the tunes (one of which he believes is the first pop punk song tribute to an EDM song), how the band came about, and his prescription for America being more American Pie movies.

SNACK! Punk Rock Cliche single Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

NOFX released a tune Fat Mike originally wrote with Matt Skiba and that was recorded for blink-182's California album, but didn't end up making the cut.

Ep059 - Homesick by A Day To Remember Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

This band is too gigantic for 2/3 of us to have never listened to any of their albums all the way through, so we remedy that on this episode. We realize the irony of 3 guys who don't love screaming to have a podcast about emo music, but it is what it is.

Notes:

ep058 - Through Being Cool by Saves The Day Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

We're going back to Saves The Day's 1999 release for this episode. We talk about all the stuff you'd expect, including the (creepily foreshadowing) lyrical content. Here's what our faces looked like most of the time. 😬
