We choose one year at random and select one punk, hardcore, emo, or punk adjacent album from that year to discuss.
This week we wrap up our Halloween Spooktacular by going outside of the box. Dylan was assigned the year 2003 to pull a spooky album from, and he landed on the debut album/ep from Zombie Apocalypse. A side project from members of Shai Hulud, focused entirely on lyrics about zombies.
Our Halloween Spooktacular continues with Justin's pick. He was assigned the year 1987, and selected Don't Touch the Bang Bang Fruit, by the UK psychobilly originators, The Meteors.
We begin our Halloween Spooktacular season with a Patreon sponsored episode! We are talking about the Groovie Ghoulies 1999 album, Fun in the Dark. Are the Ghoulies a horror punk band? We take a stab at answering that question.
It's time for another Birthday Spanking! This week Dylan selected our album from the year 1978 to punish Justin. We are discussing the punk poet John Cooper Clarke's major label debut, Disguise in Love. How badly did Justin hate this? Find out.
This week Justin was assigned the year 2001 and selected one of the most influential albums of the decade, Full Collapse by Thursday. Does this album work for two guys who never listened to it when it came out?
This week we celebrate our 350th episode by playing a round of Bracketology. This time we are pitting bands from Asian Man Records in a head to head single elimination tournament.
This week Justin was assigned the year 1980, and he selected the Dead Kennedys debut album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. This is the record that started it all. We have both gone long periods of time since listening to this album, so how does it hold up?
This week Justin was assigned the year 1991, and selected Fugazi's sophomore album, Steady Diet of Nothing. This was the first record where the version of Fugazi that they would become was beginning to take form.
This week Dylan was assigned the year 2004 and he selected the third album by Hot Snakes, Audit in Progress. Hot Snakes were the band formed by John Reis and Rick Froberg following the break up of Drive Like Jehu. We also listen to a voicemail from Brian in Wisconsin.
This week, Justin was assigned the year 1981 and selected the debut album from Men at Work, Business as Usual. We talk about the bands early days, the effort that went into getting this album released worldwide, and the lawsuit that struck their biggest hit, Down Under.
SKAUGUST concludes this year's edition with a major album. We are dipping our toes into 2 Tone and talking about the record that kicked it all off, The Specials self titled album from 1979.
It's SKAUGUST! Which means it's time for us to talk about ska records. This week, Justin chose Mustard Plug's third album, Evildoers Beware! This was the one that put the band on the map, but does this record stand out or does it deserve to be left behind in the 1990's?
We finally tackle one of our all time favorite bands, Superchunk. Dylan was assigned the year 2010, and he selected their come back album, Majesty Shredding. This is a big one for us. Hopefully we don't sound to redundant.
This week, Dave Brown (Oklahoma Lefty) fills in for Dylan. We step a little outside of the boundaries of punk and discuss Vivid, the debut album by funk metal band, Living Colour from 1988.
No new episode this week, instead here is the entire series I did on the band Pinback over on the Patreon in one single piece of audio. 3 hours of a deep dive on the entire Pinback discography.
This week Justin was assigned the year 1996 and selected Friction, the debut album by Stavesacre. Stavesacre were a Christian post-hardcore / hard rock band made up of members of The Crucified, Focused, and The Blamed.
