Wowza! From falling off the face of the planet and back again, we're back! Don't adjust wherever you get your podcasts from, we're here to grace your earholes once again with our riveting commentary, stout opinions and shenanigans.

Today, Maria talks "Radiant Bloom" from Massachusetts band Astronoid and Drake talks "Born Sinner" from J. Cole.

Episode 44 - The Girlies Are Fighting!

Wow! We're back! You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or something like that. We're back, to talk about some underappreciated bands, not to be confused with underRATED bands. These are artists that are very renowned and acclaimed by their peers, but we just feel like maybe they don't get enough love sometimes. Today, Drake is talking "The Gifted" by rapper Wale and Maria chats about STYX's "The Grand Illusion"! Plus, we chat about some fun hip-hop goss between Kendrick, Drake, J. Cole and everyone in between. Join us!

Episode 43 - Pronounciations? In THIS Economy?!

Hello friends! New pod rule: If you don't hear from us within a week, assume we're off touching grass. If you don't hear from us within a couple of weeks, uh...we're probably doing something important. Maybe. Who's to say?

But fear not! We're back this week, talking about some fun albums that we've gotten recommended to us by non-pod friends. Drake will be talking the self-titled album from rock opera group East Village Opera Company and Maria chats about "Foregone" from Swedish heavy metal band In Flames.

To make up for our absence, tune to hear some Drake's velvet-like tones and Maria attempts to growl. Heavy on the word "attempt".

Hello, all! As per the title, it's a lawless land this week. We couldn't think of a theme for today's episode, so the theme of this week...is that we don't have a theme. Today, Drake will be talking about "Tha Carter III" from Lil Wayne -- while Maria chats about "The Odyssey" from Symphony X, with a special guest! Tune in to listen who crashes our recording, live and in person! We even have diagrams!

Woohoo! Another riveting Sunday night is upon us, friends. And we're happy you're here! This week, we're chatting about some artists that have done random live performances during wrestling shows -- and while we would have loved to include Motorhead (Sorry, Lemmy), we decided to switch things up! This week, Maria is talking "All That Remains" from Chris Jericho-led Fozzy and Drake will be chatting about "Most Known Unknown" from Memphis group Three 6 Mafia, who's known in the wrestling world for doing Mark Henry's theme.

Episode 38 - Help! It's Child's Play on VHS!

Happy Sunday, friends! As you're listening to this, Super Bowl LVIII has came and went, hence the late posting. But hey! Still technically Sunday, right?

This week, we're talking the first albums we ever listened to in our genre and we've got a doozy for ya'! Drake will be FINALLY talking Dr. Dre and his project "2001" while Maria will be giving her thoughts on "Ashes of the Wake" from heavy metal band Lamb of God.

Also, as a fun mini-game treat, our resident BookTok expert friend D'Aunca is here to clue Drake in on what makes great music to listen to while reading and what the book girlies on TikTok are currently up to. Tune in and enjoy the shenanigans!

"Culture II" by Atlanta group Migos will be on the agenda for Drake today and Maria will be giving her thoughts on "Artkis" by Norwegian vocalist Ihsahn.
