Hey posse, when was your last infection? They don’t make ‘em like they used to, that’s for sure. Mike's son had an ear infection just last week. Poor guy. Mike took him to the doctor and you know what he said? He said, “Hey doc, does this look infected?” And the doctor said, “That’s my favorite Sum 41 album! How did you know?!” And then he gave Mike a script for some antibiotics. Anyway, enjoy Part 1 of Sum 41’s Does This Look Infected!

S2E6 - Something Corporate: Leaving Through the Window

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 09:00:55 -0000

Episode Notes

Before Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness and Jack's Mannequin, there was a little piano band called Something Corporate that took the music industry by storm. With a sound that transcended the typical pop punk mold, but themes that stayed close to the genre's roots, it was a band that appealed to the wider masses (and we consult our family and friends to prove it!). For this week's installment, Something Corporate's breakout album Leaving Through the Window.

Episode 15 and our Season 1 finale is a tasty treat! We are joined by KEVIN MAIDA, lead guitarist of Knuckle Puck, to discuss one of his favorite albums of all time: Blink 182's Untitled (or Self-Titled or Blink-182 depending on who you ask... argue amongst yourselves).

Come find out what interesting tidbits Kev has to share, how this album relates to KP's music, and maybe even a bombshell or two along the way. Hehe we've already said too much!

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 08:00:52 -0000

You can't just yell "Panic!" at the disco. That's like yelling "Bomb!" at the airport. Do these Sin City bad boys care? Not a groomsbride's chance in hell!

It's 2002 in suburban Philadelphia. They may not realize it yet, but three bratty 12-year-olds are about to discover an album that will change their lives forever: Good Charlotte's The Young and the Hopeless.

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 06:00:00 -0000

Let’s set the scene — late 2002 in Stillwater Oklahoma an 18-year-old, blue eyed, shaggy haired (male model?) Tyson Ritter is inspired to compose an album following a rollercoaster relationship ride. Though sad, his heartbreak spawned a pop punk album for the ages with instruments and sounds rarely heard within the genre. This one is filled with ups and downs, so “Swing Swing” on in!

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 14:20:00 -0000

With Labor Day behind us, we can finally rest. We no longer have to stay awake through summer like we own the heat. This week we travel back to the year 2001 in Long Island where Jesse Lacey from Brand New is busy being cheated on, dumped, and ditched. And yes, this is the album that inspired the infamous feud with Taking Back Sunday. Where do you stand? Are you team TBS or, like Brand New, do you believe "mics are for singing not swinging"?

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 06:00:00 -0000

The history books never make it past World War II, but we all remember how the war raged on in Long Island at the turn of the 21st century. This week Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, and their Taking Back Sunday brethren have been called out in ways "as subtle as a brick in the small of your back" and they don’t intend to "take it lying down" (if you know, you know).

If you need some “Motivation” to listen to Episode 4 sometime this “Summer,” how about we won’t give you a “Fat Lip,” nerd! Jk, we’re actually friendly sometimes.

Sum 41 was undoubtedly the most covered artist by our middle school band, the Gummi Bear Warriors. Their emphasis on underage partying and anti-conformity nearly convinced our principal to ban our 8th grade talent show performance. Want to know the only thing that will convince Keanan to grow out his hair? Hit play.
