Episode 126: No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom – Skrog Rock Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

This album was not No Doubt's first rodeo, but it was certainly the one to put them on the map. Listen through it with us and see how it still holds up. The 90's nostalgia is strong in this one, but in all the right ways. We discover how very much Gwen Stefani wants to get married, how the band stepped up their game despite their leader quitting, and how this is a modern day version of the album Rumors. Maggie spends most of the time being constantly reminded on how she didn't have cable growing up, and Ashleigh discovers that she missed a bullet by not dating Gavin Rosdale.

Episode 125: Interview with Eddie Reyes of Taking Back Sunday Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

We have a wonderfully special and especially wonderful episode this week! We are forgoing our usual format to bring you a delightful interview with Eddie Reyes, veteran songwriter, guitarist, and founder of Taking Back Sunday. He spent two decades in TBS and toured the world many times over, so you better believe he has some fun stories! We talk about everything from being on the road with TBS (lots of salami involved), to being a dad of two teenagers (and having to feed them too, to our collective love of metal (we get schooled). Believe us when we say we were ecstatic he agreed to be on our show and we had a blast shooting the shit with him. It's official - we're all bffs now.

Episode 124: Lady Gaga – Laugh, Cry, and Roll My Eyes Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

This week we cover a relatively new artist (at least as far as our usual repertoire goes) and bring you the story of one Lady Gaga. She started out as some random girl from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but managed to stand out with her talent and relentless work ethic. Hear how she went from Stefani to Gaga, how she ended up going from rock to pop, and a few missteps she may have had along the way. But at the end of the day, this woman is truly one of a kind. Whether you love her music or can't get over her theatrics, you can't deny that she will live on as a legend of our time.

Episode 123: Guilty Pleasures – Hashtag Glowed Up Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

We all got em- guilty pleasure songs! The tunes you bop to when no one is looking. It's just about summer time, which is a perfect time to dig up music that you never wanted anyone to see on your playlist. This week we got together and discussed our favorite shame-filled songs, despite how much respect you will arguably lose for us. We really run the spectrum of genres here, from emo to techno, it gets pretty embarrassing. Get a pretty good idea of what we were like in college and how we, and some of the artists, have changed throughout the past dozen years.

Episode 122: The Prodigy – Pretzel and the Ball Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

This fearless group took electronica to a whole new level in the 90's. Breaking the boundaries of genre by incorporating the sounds of techno, hip hop, rock, and everything in between to create the most unique music the world had heard up to that point. They made it ok for metal heads to want to dance and ravers to want to mosh. The Prodigy just started out as a one man show, that quickly turned into a 3-piece collective, after he let some ravers join in on the fun. Their story is their own, creating music without compromise and proving that they have the talent and inventive nature to show the world what they were missing. Doesn't get much more rock n' roll than this, kids.

Episode 121: Thin Lizzy – He Was Somethin’ Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

This week we're not just going into the story of the legendary Thin Lizzy, but especially so to talk about the life of frontman Phil Lynott. He had the charisma to get all eyes on him during a performance, but he was not born with it, it took years to adapt to the rock star lifestyle. His life as a person of color amidst a predominantly white city left him feeling like an outsider, which would contribute heavily to his deep lyrics that fans have grown to love. Not only Phil, but Thin Lizzy seems to never really get their due, so help us in celebrating this amazingly influential band with delightfully crazy Irish stories. Part of the Pantheon Network!

Episode 120: The Specials – The 2 Tone Towers May 27, 2020

Show notes

Ska may not always get the respect it deserves, but this band sure should! The Specials are the originators of 2 Tone, a style of music that fused together Jamaican ska with punk and sprinkled in some new wave here and there. They changed the game and influenced the worlds of rock and pop to come after. This band not only revolutionized music, but they brought in topics that weren't normally discussed in popular music- racism, teenage pregnancy, economic disparity, and overall distaste with the establishment. It was everything the youth at the time wanted to hear and encouraged their peers to do the same. We talk about how they get together, how they've changed, and how they've (mostly) brought it back home. Hopefully this episode will leave you giving ska a little more respect than you may have had before. So pick it up!

Episode 119: Fiona Apple – Fan Adjacent May 20, 2020

Show notes

You may only remember Fiona Apple from her risque music video for Criminal back in the late 90's, but she is so much more. An artist who has taken her pain and displayed it for all the world to see and relate to. She learned early on that if you can't please everyone, then at least please yourself. But that doesn't mean she hasn't spent a great deal of time soul searching to get where she is today with her most recent release. We cover her tumultuous childhood into her music-laden teens when she became the star we know her as now. But let's take a minute to celebrate her and all the work she has done not only for women in music, but for women in life. That they are respected and believed in times of great struggle.

Episode 118: System of a Down’s Toxicity – Highwater JNCOs May 13, 2020

Show notes

Remember the early 2000s? Well you will after this episode. We talk about the nearly 20 year old sophomore release from one of the most eclectic metal bands to grace the airwaves- System of a Down. Toxicity brought SOAD to the masses at a time when we needed to hear some hard truths. These tracks cover the spectrum of hot political topics, the Armenian Genocide, how fake LA really is, Science vs Nature, and horse pilots. We get pretty drunk and pretty passionate about these songs, so buckle up for an extra long, extra spicy episode. And be on the lookout for our buddy, Rick Rubin.

Episode 117: Lemmy Kilmister – A Weird Game of Duck, Duck, Goose May 06, 2020

Show notes

A God of rock, this week we are talking about Motorhead cornerstone, Lemmy. Without this man, so many genres of rock would not exist as we know them today. With his unique bass technique, lyrics to scare your parents yet make you think, and a devil may care attitude, we will live on with his influence forever. We dive into his story, from childhood, to his first bands, to his epic life with Motorhead, all leading up to his tragic passing in 2015. This guy is a character with some crazy stories and potentially questionable taste in fashion and decorations. But at the end of the day, we respect this consummate bad ass of a guy.
