  Speaker 1: You've got you fas all right. Today we've got our friends,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Awesome Visser and Justin Jones with us from the Undertaking
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and from Idle Threat, respectively. At this point, you know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: we've made many many jokes, but truly you guys are

  Speaker 1: the unofficial co hosts of the black Sheet Podcast, because
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you know, you really are on the black Sheet Podcast

  Speaker 1: far too many times than I think anybody cares for.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: But you know what, you are friends, and so we
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: let you back on. I think Colin probably feels the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: same way about me. It's like, why you probably like,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: for four years now, I've been having this guy named
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Mason continue to show up on my damn podcast, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you just feel obligated since you're a friend, right Colin.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll go with that. I suppose you know, why not?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you've got friends that are just annoying and ridiculous,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and you just you feel obligated to them, even when
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it's to the detriment of everything else.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: You know, well, thanks for having us.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was gonna say, it's only upsetting
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: when somebody's angry, and Mason is very angry right now,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So that's you know, there, you started off with always
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: angry though, are you really you were? Like you eat
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: like a rabbit. I don't know. Anyways, fellas, it's good
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you guys are here. Mason might not be here,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: but I love you guys.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That's true. Also, Colin, are you wearing a robe right now?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I am wearing a robe right now because I don't
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: give a fuck, and it's cold as hell outside. I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in the basement, so I love it. I should have
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a bowl of soup.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: If you had your bear chest right now, you'd be
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: looking like Hugh Hefner.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That probably would, except I would be way less, way
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: less old. So that's nice.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: This is the second This is our second annual top five.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: List, yeah with this group.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah you were on last.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Year, right, we did it last year. Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of which, I have a little spoiler alert there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we're doing our top five twenty twenty four albums.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So thanks for the introduction, Austin. Yeah, we're gonna do
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: our top five two thousand and four two thousand and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: four twenty twenty four albums. And I'm super sod. Great
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: year of music, another great year. I just like I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: say this every year for the last like seven years.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But we are just like I think in some of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the best time of alternative music, heavy music, indie music, punk, metalcore,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hard core, doesn't matter. It's just like some of the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: best music coming out right now. We are. We're in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the Golden Age.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I think we are too. So I really do think
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this is like my favorite year of music in the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: last like five years.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Let's find out what.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're blessed.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We're blessed. So each one of us is going to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: go through our top five albums. So these are albums
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in order. I made sure that these guys knew that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this had to be in order. So when we say
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: number five, it is truly our number five favorite album
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. And whatever ends up being number
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: one for each one of us is our top favorite
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: album of twenty twenty four. Okay, so that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Is the are we doing? Are we doing honorable mentions
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: at the end?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we will do some honorable mentions at the end,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of course. So if you know one of your favorite
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: albums is in there, that's cool. So but you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: certainly we're we're going to do some of our honorable mentions,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: so they're also, I think maybe in previous years we've
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: been pretty Colin and I at least have been sticklers
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: about not having overlapping albums. This year, I'm just like,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know, fuck it, who cares. We're probably gonna have
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of the same albums and that's okay. So
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: we'll probably end up talking about some of the same
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: albums and that's fine. So yeah, Top five favorite albums
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. We'll start with number five, and then
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: we'll go to number four and so on and so forth.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: All right, my number five, I'm gonna pull up my list.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: My number five is by a band that Colin and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I interviewed about this album. I'm sure this album will
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: be in Collen's list as well. I am trying to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: remember in this moment how to pronounce the album same
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but it's a band that has been one of my
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: more favorite bands for the last fifteen years, and the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: band is My Epic and the album is is it Loriella?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Is that? How do you pronounce it? Yep Loriella? So yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just a great album. You know, it's been a while
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: since we've gotten a full length album from My Epic,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and it just does all the things that My Epic
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: does really well. You get some of the parts, certainly,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: there are a number of songs that are just super heavy.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a reason why Andy Atkins from What
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Plea for Perging has said before that My Epic was
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the heaviest band on face down. I mean, there's some
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: stuff that is like just the heaviest stuff, and then
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you get like just the twinkly even electronic parts of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: this album that My Epic does so well. So I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just anything that Aaron Stone is gonna put out is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be one of my more favorite albums of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the year. And so we're just I feel really fortunate
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that I'm living in a time period where My Epic
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: also exists. So yeah, just a big fan of My Epic,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: big fan of this album.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, that would have been in my top
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: five as well. And I think that it's it's a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it's an interesting album. You say that it's it's all
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the things that My Epic does good, And while I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: do agree with that, I also think that this is
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a very kind of out of left field album. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: think all their albums kind of go a different direction
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: pretty significantly, and I really liked where this one went
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: much more than maybe the last two releases. So I
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: had a lot of fun with him. It's good.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Are they based in Nashville?
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Is Aaron Stone and Nashville guy? I forget? Or maybe
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: he's still in like North Carolina or whatever, or yeah,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Virginia maybe maybe so swee, all right, Colin, let's hear
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: your number five?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Well, sweet well, I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm not gonna
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: copy you because I think we have multiple albums actually
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in the top five together, Mason, So I'm going to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I'll pull out a different album. What would have been
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: my number six, I'll make them my number five. This
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: is Godspeed You Black Emperor. No title as of thirteen
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: February twenty twenty four to twenty eight, three hundred and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: forty dead. That is the name of the record. It is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: This.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: This record isn't amazing. So many huge, huge, huge layers
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and everything like that through every every single song. They
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: have a couple of new songs. Trying to remember the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: name of it right now, I don't remember off the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: top of my head, but a couple of the songs
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: like the melody of the guitars actually have I've like
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: implemented like a like almost like a singing melody in
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: my head, but it's not singing. I don't know how
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: also explain that it's kind of messed up, but it
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: like it's that good, it's that well composed, it's solid
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: all the way through.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I got and we saw them live.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when we saw them live a couple of weeks ago,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and it was Chef's Kiss.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember, I'm not like the biggest Godspeed fan,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and so that was the first time I'd ever seen
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: them live. I remember. My takeaway from that concert was
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: they seem like the kind of band where you've got
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you know, there's probably what like eight people on stage
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: playing instruments. Like all eight of those people are classical
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: music nerds that somehow got they somehow got a hold
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: of electronic instruments. Yeah, like that's how to me, that's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like how they arrange their songs, that's how they play
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: their guitars and their other instruments. Like it just seems
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like a bunch of people that are actually really into
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: classical music, but they're like not, they don't have the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: bona fides to let but no, that's actually super dominion
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to them. So They're like a bunch of like classical
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: music nerds that decided, you know what, we're gonna go
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like the more electronic crowd.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. You know what I enjoyed most about that
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: live show is that, uh, every band that you ever
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: go see, you're like, Okay, now I kind of have
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: like a visual representation of what this band is, like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: who they are, what they look like, And now that
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: kind of helps like mat with the music in my
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: in my head right, So Mono or not Mono, Godspeed
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: You doesn't have any like none other album artwork has
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: their faces on it, And even though I saw them live,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I still don't know what their faces really look like.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They they all were really dark still.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like they like they didn't like put a lot
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of light up on stage. I think it was only
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: like two like regular like forty watt bulbs up there.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: It was really cool, so like they were like obscured
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: while still not being obscured. It's it's crazy, like like
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Mason and I were talking afterwards, like we could walk
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: out in the street and they could be walking on
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the streets and we could have just got done watching
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: them and not recognize who they were.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Like that's how you bick or that's how like sort
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of incognito. They were, yeah, very cool, Yeah, other than
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the one guy who had the very like eighties hair
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: metal hair.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but even he was like there was that guy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But that's that's about it. Like the other people in
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that band, they literally look like they work in it
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: They were just like they're so average looking, so unassuming.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: That's true. H Well, let's keep moving on. H let's go,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: let's go awesome.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: My number five was my Epic's latest album, too nice.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Dang, look at you.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Three of us had my Epic in the top five.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's funny.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Well that's why I didn't chime in for you.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: But my story with my Epic because I'm not familiar
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: with their stuff at all, Like I skipped over them.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Really, I have never.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Listened to them until this year. And the reason, yeah,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: well I feel kind of stupid about it because Johnny
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Mercury and the Undertaking is always telling me like how
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: good they are and how like talented of a band
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: they are, all this kind of stuff, And we ran
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: into them at audio Feed and they played the same
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: day we did, and so I like, finally watched them play,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and then they also played Furnace Fest this year, so
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I felt like for me it was like one of
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: those things where it was like, all right, I gotta
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: finally listen to these guys. And they were definitely just
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: very different than what I thought that they were.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe assuming.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: That they were just kind of a typical and I
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: don't mean this with any shade, but just like a
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: stereotypical face down band, like put music out and.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Like that, like that early twenty ten's and stuff.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: And I've been on a huge Manchester Orchestra kick over
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: the last like two years or so, and that's like
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: another They're another band that kind of falls in to
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: that with like this kind of not pseudo spiritual because
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: my epic obviously really embraces a lot of that stuff.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: But I don't know, I've really enjoyed going through all
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: their albums and then for me to kind of fall
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: into this new album was exciting and.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It was cool. So yeah, I love the album. It's
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: been fun to kind of go through a little bit.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Of a completionist and then I try to go through
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: and listen to all their stuff, and like you said, Mason,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I thought you nailed it pretty well that they like kind.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Of have changed every or colon.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know remember who said it exactly, but every
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: single one of their albums is a bit different. So
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: that was an it's a fun journey, and that's like.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what got you into like just listening to this
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: particular album, Like was there maybe at or well?
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: No, I you know, it's funny my list.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't really like making lists, so them
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: being on my top five is more of my like
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: musical journey this year that they're a big part of
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: like a band that I discovered and I've listened to
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: them a ton over the past couple of months.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but how did you discover them?
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Audio?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: He told us that Mason, good, Yeah, you're you're still hangry.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: We played two festivals where they were like there. So
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: it's like Johnny watched both of them and was like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go watch my epic and I was like, oh,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I'm not familiar with them, so it just kind of
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: forced my hand into getting into it there. Okay, yeah
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I missed that part, but it's okay, just like you
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: missed our said forst Fest two years.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Not entirely not entirely most of it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: That's all right, though, What what's been your favorite my
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: epic album then? Of all their records, is it Behold?
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the one that has the song that has majesty
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: when they do.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: The chorus of Majesty whatever.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Like, I'm like listening to this band and all of
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: a sudden they start singing Majesty in the middle of
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: a chorus and that they have like the heavy part
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: of the Stewards, and I was like, oh my god,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: that's amazing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they there's there's a few of those songs that
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I think are some of the most perfectly written songs that, yeah,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the vast, vast, vast vast majority of even people in
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the Christian alternative scene will never hear for no reason
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: whatsoever other than that they're you know, they have their
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: head under a rock or something.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: All right, My turn for number four? Right, Yeah, So
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: my number four is a band that I don't know
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: if most I mean maybe Colin maybe you've heard, I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, Austin and JJ, but this is
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a band that I've been listening to probably for maybe
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: five years now and have really loved a lot of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: their stuff. But this album kind of came out of nowhere.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize, like I don't fall them closely enough
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to like know that you know, they were working on
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a new album or anything. They're not a huge band
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: at all, but the band is called State Faults and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: they had an album called Children of the Moon. Unbelievable
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: kind of like Death Wish Records hardcore kind of stuff
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: where it's just like this very artsy version of hardcore.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It's just really really well done.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: You get nik Nikky Long Island about those guys.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Oh really, Okay, all right, it's good to know you're.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Fan on your podcast with God's Eyes Nick, Yeah, that's right.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, they're such an incredible band. Just been a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: really big fan of just the way that they construct
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: kind of hardcore music, you know anything. Like I'm a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: huge fan of Birds and Row, Like we just today
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the way that today that that we're recording is the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: day that Spotify rap came out. And I think Birds
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and Row is like my number two most listened to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: artists and that's the last like five years. This year
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: is still yeah number two number two for me. Yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I just I listened to Birds and Row all the time,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, that's obviously another Death Wish band, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: they just seem like The State fALS is kind of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: like in that vein of like you know, artsy hardcore
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that you would hear from Death Wish, and I just
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: think it's so freaking good. So anyway, big fan of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Children Moon Children of the Moon by State fALS.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Caught them at Pugfest in Detroit this year.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Where are they from? Are they? For some reason, I'm
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: thinking they're a California band, But I could be totally wrong.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think that they are.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Whenever I hear the word State Faults, all I can
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: think of.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Is Bay Area the area.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds right, So they are California.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I always thought that it was, you know, a reference
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to like fault lines and stuff like that, but maybe
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: maybe it is. Maybe it's not if it's Bay Area,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: maybe all right. Well, my next one is Tiger Wines,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Toile and Spin. I think these guys never get enough anything.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: These guys are so good. There's such they're such good people,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: great songwriting, killer lyrics. Uh musically, then they're just.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They're so.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: H They're so ahead of a lot of other bands,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: like in the same vein as them, riff Monsters, like
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Holy Buckets all the way around. I love this record.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that they're back. I was wondering if they
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: were going to come out with another record, So I'm
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: just very very happy that they are and couldn't couldn't
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: be nicer people.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: So unbelievable album. Yeah, there are like bands that are
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: in that vein of like really kind of heavy alternative rock.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I would imagine, like maybe you we would
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: probably put my epic in there, thrice those types of bands,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Manchester Orchestra, those type of bands, And yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I think out of like those types of bands. Tiger
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Whyne is criminally underrated.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, criminally, I've never I saw that.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: You guys had him on the podcast a couple of
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: weeks ago, and I think they put it out. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: think they put out their first album around the same
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: time as that Funeral Soalms came out. I never got
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: into them. I never checked them out, so I definitely
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: got them on my listed.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, randminally underrated. It's it's kind of unbelievable that they
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: never really popped off that you would imagine a band
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: like that would. But still, at the end of the day,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: they're putting on amazing music.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good, all right, Austin.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Any all right, my number four, My number four is
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Meadows Familiar with Pain.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like that's one that I gotta just put
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: on my.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: List because I love those boys so much, And when
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: you have friends like that that put out an album,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: it's you know, it's a you know what goes into
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: putting something out, and it's one of those things where
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: you just are so proud of what they put their
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: heart and soul into and then everything that they went
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: into this year and all that kind of stuff. But
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I love the Metals boys, and I love the album.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, only only those boys could do
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: something as like sincere as the album that they put
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: out in terms of like Passion Week, and you just
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: know that Christian is so sincere about it. And then
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: for me, they had let me listen to the album
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: before it came out, and they had asked me to
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: make notes like on which ones were my favorite songs,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: which was a hilarious process because Meadows, they're so different
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: than the Undertaking Boys, and my favorite songs on the
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: album were so different than their favorite songs. And I
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: had put actually my God as strong as like the
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I even put that on like a separate tier of
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: songs and like not even I was just like, this
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: is so much better than anything else on the record,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: and they thought I was joking because they kind of
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: know my story and just the fact that I would say,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: like a worship song like that was my favorite song
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: on the album, and I was like, what are you
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: guys talking about? That song is so good, especially knowing
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: that it was about Stone's dad and that he and
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Hayden wrote it, and then for Hayden to be on
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: the album too, So.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: I love Meadows and I'm proud of those guys.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Love that album.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love those guys. A year of some torments
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: for them as well. I think that they need to
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: get their flowers here because that's killer record. Heavier in
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: their last lyrically and musically as well, which is always
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: fun to hear.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna piggyback for a second, so I mean Austin
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: you you know. So when they first started playing some
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: of those new songs like live, I remember just having
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: one of those like moments where I was like, this
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: band just took it to the next level, Like Meadows
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: is a killer band now, and like we've toured together
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: and all that stuff, but I don't know something about
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: them with this record that just came out. Like my
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: favorite thing about them is Christian just his lyricism is phenomenal,
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: just the way that he crafts everything.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: And I just you know, I can't I can't.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Like praise them enough for that. But this record, really
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I hope it keeps like doing things for them because
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: nobody deserves it more anyway.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Well, something going along with like Christian songwriting too, is
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that he he doesn't just throw the words on a
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: on a on a sheet and say, oh that sounds
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: good together, that fits, you know, syllable wise or whatever.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, he he really does craft it like you're
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: talking about. I mean, he goes multiple layers, multiple interpretations. Uh,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: it's it's much more intentional than I would say, probably
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: ninety people in the scene.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Yep, that's exactly the cast songwriter he is.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Love those gus.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: They're they're they're working on some more music, I think,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: and so I'm excited to see what they do next.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Heck ya killer love it all right. I think we're
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: at number three now, so back to you JJ.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Number three. Number three for me is gonna.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Be man, it's I love how everybody's doing, like indie
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: artists and all this stuff.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: But number three for me is Kendrick Lamar's g n X.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: So Kendrick's had a massive year obviously, but to me,
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: he's still probably, you know, the best that's ever done it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: So I think he's just he's a rap artist on
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: an absolute other level, like he's on his own planet
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: and everybody else's back on Earth, and just I don't know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: there's something like real special about like angry Kendrick too,
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: so Drake you know, and whatever grave he's in right
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: now pushing up those days he's dude, like, thank you
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: for being such an idiot because you've delivered us a
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: lot of great music because Kendrick coming after him is
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: you know, the beef that I've been waiting for for
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: you know a while now, Like and you know, I
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: was talking to somebody the other day about like, you know,
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: beefs within like the heavy music scene and stuff like that,
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: and like know you don't see like all that kind
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: of stuff as much nowadays. I mean unless I'm just
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: like under a rock. But like you know, the big
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: rap beefs and stuff are just so fun to keep
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: up with.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Oh there is there is one beef in in our
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: scene or not our scene, your scene.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Right now, you're included?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Am I included? I don't make music, you know? All right?
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Sounds good? Uh uh? It's with Craig Mabbott and uh
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Garrett from soulent Planet.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, I was gonna say, I'm gonna pick a side immediately.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: What happened, Mason?
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Do you remember what happened between Craig Garrett from sound Planet.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I think like Garrett kind of called him out for
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: being like a douche and Craig not.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Craig was, yeah, it's not Ronnie Radkey about that, Okay,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: never mind, I'm on Garrett.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ronnie has beef with everybody.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: That the fact that you're picking on one of the
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: nicest people on earth is is kind of funny.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: It's hilarious.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I never mind, gay Christian pirate.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: Say, that gay, gay, woke Christian.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Boy or whatever. And I was like, that's me.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: That's a great pick. I was. I was thinking, you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Kendrick definitely needs to be mentioned in this list by
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: one of us. So I'm glad that you bring up
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Kendrick because yeah, I think a lot of people are.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to compare his albums now where
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: it's just because they're all the best, some of the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: best hip hop albums ever. So it's like hard to like, Okay,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: is it is it better than like DNA or Pimpa
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Butterfly or whatever, But you know, it's just it's it's
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: a difficult debate at this point. But I think you
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: let even this album marinate for long enough time, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I think people might be coming back to like, Okay,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: this this could end up being his best album.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I won't lie.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: It might actually and recency bias, but like it might
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: be my favorite record for him, and to Pimp a
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Butterfly is like a perfect record.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, but I don't know gn X, like it
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: doesn't even have not like us on it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: But like, you know, basically when Kendrick was like coming
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: at Drake so hard, you know that that obviously is
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: the most spined song bye you know most of the country,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: and you know you had all the camaraderie that was
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: going with it, so like that put you know, that
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: kind of started the fire and then he dropped this
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: record out of nowhere, and it's great, like the storytelling,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: the lyricism, the beats, all of it. It's just you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be listening to this, you know, constantly for
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: a while.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't want to ran on your parade,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: but I I I really like Kendrick and I think
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: that his flow is Are you a Drake fan? I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: definitely not a Drake fan. I never have been. In fact,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I was making fun of Drake back when he's on.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: To Grassy or as you should.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well he was in a wheelchair in that show,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: so maybe I shouldn't. But I I did kind of
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: feel that this record was maybe a little bit samey
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: uh in terms of like uh beat and flow, and
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's just completely opposite of how Kendrick
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: usually is. Usually every song is is in a wildly
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: different uh you know kind of tempo, different different style
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: of music, different different flow and rhyme schemes, and this
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: one just felt a little bit samey to me. And
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: it's probably just because I haven't sat with it enough,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: like you're saying, but man.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: You should give it another list.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: First four or five listens. That's that was my my
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: my thought process so lyrically though, Man, he's not pulling
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: any punches there. Geez yeah, Mason you ready?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Great pick?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: My number three uh had just talked about them, but
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: my number three is Knocked Loose is you won't go
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: before you're supposed to. You know, obviously we've we've said
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: quite a bit about them already, but the only thing
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I'll just add is I don't think Knock Loose is
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: doing anything all that unique in terms of like their sound.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: You know, there there are other bands that are, you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: just as heavy and just as creative. They just do
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it better than everyone. You know, we Colin, We've talked
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: about this on the podcast where we're not like the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: biggest August Burns Reds fan, And it's not because we
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: think that they make bad music. It's just that they
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: they were the band that did that sound so well
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that every other band decided to sound like it, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that that kind of made it a little bit more
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: derivative to us. And I can see why a lot
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of people would maybe not not like Knocked Loose because
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of that reason, because they're just so good at what
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: they do. That everybody now is probably gonna want to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: sound like knock Loose. So maybe that's my only other
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: like commentary is that they just are the best at
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: what they do and nobody comes close to it. Also,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: like they're just they seem to be like the greatest
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: of guys. We've never interviewed them, we've never gotten to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: know them. They just seem like really good guys. When
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: after they had played Kimmel, Brian Garris put an Instagram
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: post about like how cool it was to like literally
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: walk through the Jimmy Kimmel studios and see all of
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: these super super famous people, like their pictures and see
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: all these super famous people that they're walking down the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: same hallway that those people have walked down. And then
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: he looked to their guitarists and I'm blinking on that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: guy's name now, but he looked at the guitarists and said, dude,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this started in your garage and here we are now, Like,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: to me, that's a really great recognition of like how
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: hard they have worked for that moment and they might
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: never ever get close to that that kind of moment
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: ever again, and it's just super cool to see that
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: they even cherish that moment that like they recognize it
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: takes a lot of hard work to sound like the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: way that they sound and get to that level. Uh,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: it's pretty It's way easier if you're like a pop
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: artist or whatever, but to sound like they sound and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: get to that level is pretty unprecedented. And I just
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: really respect them for that. Even if you're like not
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the biggest knock loose fin and for a long time
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I was not, but I like, I really truly get
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: it now. They are just so much better than everyone
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: else that is, like doing the metal core hardcore thing.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: They just are so much better.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I could word vomit about the same thing for
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: a while, but I just think this is it really
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: could be a turning point for you know, our scene.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Seeing a band like that kind of blow the doors off.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, I like, right after they've filmed that, did
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: y'all see where it is?
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I think it's body Count. Body Count's going to be on, Like,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: uh is it falling?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I saw that or something like that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: That's so cool, and I mean, like I don't know,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: they kind of have the credit already or whatever, but
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: it's like, I don't know, like it's it's just so
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: promising for the bands that are working to push through that.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand that there was
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: like a huge, big, you know, outcry of people that
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: really pissed off that Jimmy Kimmel would invite them. But
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: also I remember seeing like a tweet about kind of
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: in terms of the reaction of it of like, you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: there's probably like a ten eleven year old kid that's
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: watching that right now and thinking that has never heard
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that music ever, and it's like looks at that TV
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and that TV screen and says, that's what I want
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to do. And that to me is like what gives
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: me hope, like people are inspired by, like that's the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: kind of music that they want to create in the world,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: because not a lot of us get to ever see
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: that kind of music represented at that level, and so
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: for like for that to be represented and know that
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: like maybe like some thirteen year old kid sees that
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: on a TV or a YouTube YouTube video and says,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: that's what I want to do, Like that's a real
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: possibility because they saw that they saw that video or
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: they saw that on Jimmy Kimmel.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I have heard I have heard that that that thought
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: process a few times now, and I don't know if
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I quite buy that though. You know, I don't think
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: there's any thirteen year old watching Jimmy Kimmel.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: You never know, man, I bet there.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: If this was twenty twelve, maybe I don't know, watching Fortnite, Yeah.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I don't, Or maybe I don't know. Maybe there maybe
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: their dad was watching Jimmy Kimmel and they happened to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: be in the same.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And the dad is going to start a band. There
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: we go, That's what we should that's what we should have.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: We need, we need more, we need, we need more.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Austin age Is that?
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: How?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Is that how the undertaking started? Austin My dad?
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: My dad was watching Jay Leno one night.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: He just felt so much came on and he was.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Wearing a I don't like the Red Hot Chili Peppers,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: but what really.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Probably want to. They're probably one of my least favorite bands,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: is it?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Is it just because of Anthony Ketis?
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: I just didn't. I'm not a big fan of their sound.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: You're from California, you should be like indoctrinated already.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Literally the California sound, it's your national anthem. Californication is
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: literally the California national anthem.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right next to anthems.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: You know, I am. I am on on board of
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: the on that though. I just I just don't like
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Anthony Keatas's voice very much.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I don't like his lyrics. I don't like the noises
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: that he makes. I don't like the noises that Flea
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: makes on the bass.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I just what, oh man, all right.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: You can, let's move on. That's the hottest take I've
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: ever heard.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: YouTube is a bad band too.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Oh. I agree with you two, But geez saying that
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Flea's not on an awesome basis is.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I didn't say that he's not an awesome basis. I
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: said I don't like the sounds that I hear coming
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: out of the bass. There's difference.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I can have an opinion, Okay, I'm just okay, Yeah,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: let's not belabor that. My number three is a band
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: that is actually a bunch of elderly men. They're not
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: actually elderly, but they're they're they're among the older ages.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Are you doing they're older than Really?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I have listened to this album so much this year.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: The band is mount Onsrah and oh the album.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I thought you were about to say, I thought you
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: were about to say those like two old like English rappers.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Mason, Now you got to pull it up, you gotta.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Oh we can't pull it up on here, can we?
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah we can't. We can't do a sound. But okay,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Colin literally once a week sends me a video clip
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: like on Instagram of these two old white guys from
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: like England that rap. I they're actually they're actually really talented,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: they're really good. But it's just like it's hard to believe,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: like there're these two bald white guys from England that
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: are really good at rapping. It's amazing. Anyway, I thought
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: that's where you're going with.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: What one second I have to show you guys, Now,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: this is this is just for us.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, cringing in the Chicken com A gangs, the bitch
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: on gang bringing in this strip for some gangster ship.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: I remember the chucking uple bang this clipping. If you
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: want to test.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Us and let the bread to rip retsup.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Jem back in.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: The clu, keep chicking the book, keep trapping this one
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: funk cool if for one that sells.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Second now look at them, oh heck yeah, and their
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: live shows like they go off like everyone in the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: crowd is like twenty years old and losing their mind
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and it's it's it's a blend. Anyways. No, we're not
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: talking about that. We're talking about mont Entsra. The album
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: is called Sacred Time. This this band is sick. It's
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: it's like if Radiohead a post rock band. Slint Slint,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah we get throw Yeah, definitely Slint Tool Tool if
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: they were all like just like one band somehow melded together.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: It is such an interesting sound and it has done
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: so well and it's only a two piece and I'm
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I'm blown away with the talent in these two guys
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: English English dudes. We have them on the podcast and
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably my favorite favorite show we had
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the entire year. Great people, great album. You guys have
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: to go check it out if you haven't listened to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: it yet.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those bands where you know, nobody
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: has really heard of them. They might have like a
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: couple hundred monthly listeners on Spotify, and it's unbelievable, Like
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: it's just it's truly unbelievable. It's hard to believe that
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you know, these two guys who have one has been
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: in the music and actually I think they maybe both
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: have been in the music industry for a while, but
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: they're probably in their forties or fifties.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I would say fifties.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and they decided to start this band together,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you know, at that at that age of their life,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and it is just immensely talented. It's just it's so
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: well done. So their their song fever Dream. So I'm
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna have them on my on my list,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: but fever Dream was listed as like on my Spotify rapped.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: It was like maybe five or four most played song
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: of the year. It's just unbelievable band. Unbelievable band.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah good, all right, Austin.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I'm gonna flip, but I actually had it
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: either way on my list, but I'm actually gonna do
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Knock Loose you won't go before you're supposed to my
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: number three, just to get wrap up the conversation with
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: the band, because yeah, I'm a huge I really like
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: this band.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I think they're phenomenal at what they do.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: I think your comparison to August Burns Red is really
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: good because they know what they do and they do
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: it so stinking well and it sounds so good. And
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Justin you had said that the promotional material, the artwork,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: the merch, the music videos and kind of everything that
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: they put forward with their album package.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Is all so well done.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: And I don't know who leads that charge within the band,
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: but I think it's so inspiring to me. Trey Hales
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: does some of their artwork, and he's the one that
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: did the funeral sal stuff like the lamb and some
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: of our stuff. So then it's like kind of fun
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: to be like, oh yeah, like we like like you
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: know that guy, and he's doing really cool stuff like
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: the pop up shops.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: All the merch was Trey Hales. It's just pretty sick.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: So that's cool.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: And then I don't know, Yeah, I love this album.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I think it's super heavy. And I got to see
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: them in Vegas. So my family went to Vegas for
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: the weekend a couple of weekends ago, and they were
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: playing the Pure Noise like twenty at the anniversary or
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: twenty fifth anniversary at the casino that we were staying at.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: So we sent our kids up to their hotel room,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: my two boys. Our daughter wasn't there, but we sent
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: our ten year old, our eight year old up to
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: their hotel room. Got them all set up they watched
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: a movie and Kylie and I went down to the
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: House of Blues at the Mandally Bay and saw See Space, Cowboy,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Spanish Love Songs, Counterparts, and Knockloose. So that was like
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: a cherry on top. So to be able to see
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: like all the songs off this album and like the
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: production and the cross lit up in the background, just everything.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: For them is one of those bands that I'm like
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: always kind of paying attention to in terms of like,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: all right, what can I steal from like this album
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: cycle or whatever. So they're they're a band that really
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: like we don't sound like them at all, Like my
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: lyrics aren't.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Really like his at all. But it's like a band
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: that I'm like kind of paying attention to see like
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: what they're doing and.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: How they're releasing music, where they're releasing it, what they're doing,
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: and I think they're that's super inspiring. So I tried
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: to go to Kimmel. I was on the list for
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: like getting to Wow, and I didn't get in because
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: it's like the lottery system, and I was like so bummed.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Instead, some like some like twenty three year old.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Girl, Yeah exactly.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Face kicked in, So good for her, you know, I
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: was really hoping somebody would make it on stage in
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: like stage dive or whatever. Yeah, that has probably never
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: happened at Kimmel.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Definitely, definitely. I I'm not a Knock Loose fan at all,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: but I do definitely support them and everything that they're
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: doing because I think that they are absolutely essential for
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: for pushing forward the best genre of music that deserves
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: It's it's time in the in the sunshine, you know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: and if if Knock looses it, then it's it. What
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I love is that they took basically what is like
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: a memeable viral moment with the Arf Arf and made
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: that into actually something that's not cheesy or corny. With
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the rest of their music, they're they're actually being artists.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: And I love the fact that they brought on Poppy,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: by the way. I don't know if you guys knows,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: if you guys know Poppy's like earlier career. I've been
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: listening to Poppy since like twenty eleven, uh, and she
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: sounds completely different. But I think some of that reggae
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: kind of influence that you were talking about, I think
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: that's actually from her, because she has a lot of
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: like reggae influencer her pop music, but she makes some
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: really good stuff. Even going back to like twenty fourteen,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: she had a song called, uh low Life. I believe,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: great great song Justin is right up your alley. I
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: think you would dig it so but yeah, I didn't
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: know she could scream. Her scream is scream. It's incredible,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: it's incredible, good, all right.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: All right? Number two dose My see.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: I kept bouncing back and forth on my one and two,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: but my two I think, as of right now, is
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: gonna be another rap record.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: But Chromacopeia from Tyler the Creator, Oh yeah, And I
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: won't give dude, it's so good, but I won't give
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: like a super long winded, in coherent rambling because I'm
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: obviously not on my A game tonight with articulating my thoughts.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: But this record I think was another step up for him.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: I think people finally started to take him seriously when
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: he put Igor out, and then you know, the Grammys
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: and all the awards and all that kind of stuff
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: started coming in for him. But this is when Tyler
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: kind of stepped into his like more theatrical, ostentatious like artistry,
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: and I think he just kind of.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Came into fruition.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: And then you know, he did call me when You
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: Get Lost, and then, honestly I didn't think he could
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: top it, but this record might have topped it because
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: you have, you know, you have storytelling on it.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Like the song Hey Jane, it's.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: About like a young couple that you know, has like
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: an unwanted pregnancy and like what to do, And that
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: one's kind of like, you know, emotional, and then you
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: have fun songs that have like sexy red on them
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that, So.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know, it's just this one.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: It's it's like Tyler found what he does best and
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: is kind of staying in that realm. But he is
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: always doing something unique and is always crafting something that
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: is just extraordinary, and it's been really cool to watch
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: him grow and evolve as an artist as well. So
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: Number two this year for me is Chromocopia.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Dude, good pick I. I really feel he is like
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: the David Bowie of comparison, Like the way that he
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: like changes his uh, his his image and his style
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: song to song album to album is is ripped out
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: of the David the David Bowie Playbook, and it is
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: It's it's the best playbook to pull from, if you
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: ask me.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: I'm really glad you said that because I made that comment,
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: uh probably like a month or two ago to my girlfriend.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, like I think like Tie the
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: creators like the modern day David Bowie, and she's a
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: massive David both and so she's like, no, like you're crazy,
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: and I was like, I'm telling you that this is
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: like my perspective of him as an artist. It's like
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: it's just yeah, so thank you for validating my feelings.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: I love that. Well. I I am so much of
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: a David Bowie fan that I named my dog Bowie.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Uh so you can tell your girlfriend she.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Has a cat named Bowie.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: So a bona Bowie fan with you and our dog.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Our dog's name is Freddy, after Freddie Mercury.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty sick. Do they do They constantly go
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: around barking under pressure for a Christmas card though, So
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: that'd be sick.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: That's awesome to sort of riff off that with. You're
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: talking about kind of just like the the creative outlet
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: or just like really the creative output of Tyler the Creator.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I this is gonna be so ridiculous. For me to say,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: but I love when people are like so stereotypical a
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: certain Enneagram type, and Tyler's Creator, Tyler the Creator, to me,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: is the most stereotypical Enneagram for ever to ever exist.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: And so when you guys are like talking about like
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you know, he's very David Bowie like or like, you know,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: every album like he's got, like he leaves like a
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: different kind of like Mark, I'm just like, this is
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: so Enniagram four of him, and and I especially love
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: it's the hip hop artists that I enjoy the most
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: are probably those hip hop artists that probably do take
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: way more of a risk in their sound, and I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: think Kendrick is probably maybe in that vein. That's part
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: of the reason why I really like Kendrick. But yeah,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Tyler the Creator is like totally in that vein as well.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: And I haven't really dove into this new album as much.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely wishing kind of a bandwagon fan of him,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: but he is one he is somebody I really respect
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: because he is somebody in my mind, I'm like, oh,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: he is like the most stereotypical Enniagram four, and I
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: kind of love that about like him that like he's like,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: so you can put him in a neat box in
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And honestly, and I just thought of this as
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: you were talking, as like.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: The you know, three out of the top five records
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: that I have now are rap records. But all three
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: of those artists are very different doing their own thing,
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: and they're all like masters of their craft, and I
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: don't know, it's just they're all going after different emotions
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: and telling different stories and I don't know, I just
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: it's super cool. I think honestly, like the underground like
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: heavy scene, like the alternative scene, and then like the
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: rap scene, all of them are in such a good
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: place right now with all the music that's coming out
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: from you know, artists big and Smalls.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just hope that Tyler Creator and Kendrick Lamar
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: never getting a beef.
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: That would break my heart actually, because I don't think
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: I could pick.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: A side.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Way.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: It's way easier when it's Drake and Kendrick. It would
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: be way more difficult if it was Tyler the Creator
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: and Kendrick. So all right, that's your number two. Great pick, great,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: great pick My number two another Death Wish Records band.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: If you can't tell I'm a huge death wish pretty
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: much anything that comes out of death Wish. I feel
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: like death Wish now for me is like what Tooth
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: and Nail was for like two thousand and four to
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. It's anything they put out is
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be my favorite thing ever. But the band is
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: called Goujaway the album's deep sage. Gageway has been one
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: of my more favorite bands probably for the last four
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: or five years. Everything that they do, and they haven't
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: put out a lot of music over the last five years,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: but anything they do is just absolutely unbelievable. Huge fan
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: of the They're almost I've tried to describe their sound
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: to other people. I think the best way to describe
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: them is the music of their band. Like the instrumentation
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: is similar to the instrumentation that you would hear on
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: like the deep cuts of like in Utero from Nirvana,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: but like imagine if like instead of Kirk Cobain's voice,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: it's like an like just as talented of a woman's voice. Yeah,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: like that, that to me is like the best way
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: to maybe describe their sound. Just unbelievably talented. You get
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: like a lot of like the really fast punk beats,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: but then you have all this like really interesting dynamic instrumentation.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: Uh in other songs, they just they do everything so well.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Huge fan of that band. Uh. They actually played in
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis earlier this year and I wasn't able to make
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: up there or it wasn't able to make their show.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: But God, just an unbelievable band.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: They're the type of band that pretty much anything that
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: they'll ever put out I'll probably have on my top
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: five list because they just are unbelievably talented. So goage away.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: I remember when when Burnt Sugar came out, I was
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: I was showing everybody that record, uh, and I kept
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: telling everyone. I was like, you know, if if I
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: could choose to be like in a band, it would
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: be Gouguway like that that is the band that I
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: would want to be in.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: And this record is just a step up. Yeah if
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: and a lot of the imagery and.
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: Stuff that goes with that record and as well as
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: really really cool.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: So if you haven't listened to it, you should, I agree.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And her voice is just so underrated. I mean
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: she should be on everything. To me, like, she just
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: her voice should be on everything because she's she can sing,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: she can scream, She's just so talented. She was playing
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: bass for nothing for a while as well, and she's
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: just like really immensely talented. So I'm forgetting her name
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: right now. But my goodness, like just every everybody in
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: that band is so good and I think they maybe
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: only have rough like maybe fifty thousand monthly listeners on Spotify,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: and it's just like, how are they not Christina is
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: her name, by the way, but yeah, they like aren't
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: huge on Spotify, And in my mind, I'm like, how
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: are they not like one of the bigger heavy bands
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: right now? They just are way too talented to only
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: be at like fifty thousand monthly listeners.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I agree, So gouge Away deep Sage, Colin, what's your
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: number two?
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: My number two is two sham or a spiral in
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: a straight line. This is I think a continuation of
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Lament from twenty twenty, very much so lyrically in the
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: same vein, very much so musically in the same vein.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's quite as good as Lament, but
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: it is still, in my opinion, a necessary follow up
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: to Lament and I Lament was It's probably one of
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: those albums for the decade for me that have just
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: WoT went so much lyrically, I don't I don't pour
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: over lyrics. I'm not usually that guy that you know
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: that does that all that much. I appreciate good lyrics,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: but man, that anytime Boem writes I, it hits me
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: like a freakin freight train every time. And it's it's
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: it's the kind of writing that makes me feel like
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I'm like a te again, like feeling feelings very very big,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: You're allowed to feel your feelings cold.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you really can't do that when you're older,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: you know, not not in that way at least. But
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: you know, I'll be out like out mowing and I'll
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: be like, I'm like mad, but just like frustrated to
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: you know how I'm talking. You know what I'm talking about?
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: Like that that like the fighting of emotions and and
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: and touche Moury really brings that out in me. Uh,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: spiling a straight line brings that out in me. I
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: just wish the album was a little bit longer. It's
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: only like thirty minutes. Most songs only two minutes long.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: It is way too sure, Yeah, especially after four years
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: of waiting. So, uh, that's a that's minumer two us.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: You guys got something else.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: That's a great pick that they would that I would
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: have put them as like an honorable mention. They're probably actually,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: let mean double check there, there may be at like
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: six or seven, No, number six yeah for me, So
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: they just missed my top five lists for this album.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: I will say Jerreman is may like you know, Colin,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: we've talked before about like maybe White Whales as interview
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: uh interviews that we would have. Uh, Hailey Williams is
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: probably the top for both of us obviously, like Scoggin
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Williams at all. Oh really, I would absolutely like I'm
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: not even a huge Paramore fan, but I think Haley
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Williams would be like so fascinating.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Mason talks about it all the time.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Doesagin not do podcasts or is that just not interested?
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Not really, He's done about three podcast total.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: He's only done a few, and he's just impossible to
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: probably nail down like he's just.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get him. I'm gonna get him for you guys.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: But hy bring that up though?
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: The reason why I bring him up though? Or bring
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: bring that up is Jeremy bolm Over the last like
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: maybe four or five years. He's definitely like now entered
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: in that conversation for like a white whale for me, like,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: if we could get him on the podcast, like I
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: feel like, okay, we could, we could end this podcast.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Like He's one of those kind of people where I
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: just like it would mean the world if we could
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: get him on some and he seems like the greatest
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: guy from all accounts like that I've ever heard from
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: other people, and just like listening to this podcast, he
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: seems like the nicest guy, and it would just be
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: one of those things where if we could just somehow
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: get connected with him, it'd be great to get him on.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think Touche More is one of the
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: better bands out there, and it's a great pick.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: My number two album of the year is will Putney Day,
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: when Better Lovers released Highly Irresponsible and Fit for an
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Auto released.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: The Nothing That Is, And both those.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: Albums are phenomenal, and so that was just like a
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: cool day or like two freaking great day great albums
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: came out, So Fit for an Autopsy isn't quite my wheelhouse.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: But there's a couple of songs on there that just
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: like absolutely crushed me. So there's like a ton of
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: just I kind of I don't listen to that type
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: of music very often, so then when I do get
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: into it, I feel like real like moody and angsty.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Because I'm like, yea, I'm gonna listen to like heavy
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: dark metal or whatever. And Better Lovers was great.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: We just saw him the past weekend at in Orange
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: County and this was the best show that we've seen
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: him play.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Was there fire Breathing again?
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: No, he did it in LA He did not do
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: it in Orange County. So I imagine that like the
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: Observatory had some rules against it or something.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: But sure, well they should they should stop caring about rules.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was great. Good albums. I love them, Yeah.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: The Will Putney, Actually, you're right, like Will Putney. I
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: mean he's like just emerged as I forget there. There
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: was somebody in like the maybe mid to late two
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: thousands that was kind of producing a lot of the
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, what's his name from Glow in the Dark.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Why am I blanking on? His Name's Goldman?
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Goldman?
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Goldman. You know, Goldman was producing a lot of
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: those albums for a while where everybody kind of knew,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: you know, there was like this sort of Goldman sound,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: and there's been maybe some others in the heavy music scene,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: but like Putney is, he's definitely like carried that kind
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of lineage of now he's like kind of taken that
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: taken the torch and is you know, just totally yeah,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: just running with that sound. He's unbelievable producer.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Yep, all right, justin.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Number one the top album of twenty twenty four for
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Justin Jones. Well, actually, what's your middle name?
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Justin?
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I know this.
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: It is Nathaniel, Actually, Justin Nathaniel Jones.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: What is your top album of twenty twenty four?
• 54:52
  Speaker 7: Okay, mom, I doubt your mom has ever uttered those
• 54:59
  Speaker 7: words Justin Thaniel Jones. You, Oh, well, yeah, so the
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: first three words she is absolutely uttered, probably is uttering
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: today at some point.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: Yes. Absolutely.
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: My favorite record that came out this year is Post
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: Malone's F one trillion. Really yes, so it also was
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: my most listened to record this year. But I don't know,
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: like it's it's kind of funny because like Jimmy World
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: is my favorite band ever and literally every year that
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: Apple does their like replay stuff kind of like Spotify wrapped.
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: Jimmy World is always number one, and it's been that
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: way ever since they started keeping up with those metrics, but.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: It probably been that way ever since like two thousand
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: and two for Justin Jones.
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, I like my entire life, I've just loved
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: Jimmy World. But anyway, the first artist that ever usurped
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: them was Post Malone last year.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: So this year I still listened to Jimmy World more,
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: but they didn't have any new music. So Post Malone
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: has my most listened to album and it is my
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: favorite album as of right now.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Next week it.
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: Might be Chromocopia again. They've been kind of flip flopping.
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I just I've been waiting on Posts to
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: do a country record, and he came to Nashville and
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: just did it right, I think, with all the guest
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: spots and just the songwriting being fun but also like
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: there's some like.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: Serious songs and stuff too.
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: It's just a perfect like culmination of what he has
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: to offer as a country artist. And unfortunately I didn't
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: see him on this tour, but you know from all
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: the videos and stuff, i've seen, like he's just absolutely
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: crushing it. Like it's just like this was.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: The record that I feel like he was supposed to make.
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: Because he really does take the whole bluesy like R
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: and B thing honestly, kind of like the rap hip
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: hop stuff and.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: Mix it so well with the little that is good.
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: With country music nowadays, and he made it his own,
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: and it's been really cool to see like the success
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: he's had through a country record in comparison to like
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: when he did Stony and.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: Stuff like that earlier on.
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: And I'll shut up now because I could talk about
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: this record forever, but it's just really fun.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: And I know that most people listening to.
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: This probably are more into heavy music, punk music, that
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: kind of stuff, but you should give it a shot
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: and maybe you'll like a little twang in your repertoire.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Postclone can do nothing wrong. But I agree,
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: I think he's a little upset because he wasn't the
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: first guy in country music to have face tats.
• 58:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, I'm going to get like steered to a
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: different direction. But I also really really love Jelly Roll too.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's who you're referencing.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's why I'm referencing.
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: Dude.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Jelly.
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: Jelly's from Antioch, where I'm you know, born and raised, so.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Like I I love jelly Roll.
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: And dude, if if I could have one, like really
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: really famous like artists, like collaborate with a band that
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: I was in, then like I would want Jelly Roll
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: to sing on a track that we're making anyway.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Or post featuring jelly Roll.
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: We're not cool enough for that. I let me start
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: a side project and have.
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: Jelly on that.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: But no, I mean, if you want you know.
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: Whoever has connections, if you know jelly Roll, uh, and
• 58:55
  Speaker 5: he wants to sing on like a post Harborcore record
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: or whatever for Tooth and Nail that I'm all ears.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll be honest, this is the first time
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing that post Malone release an album this year.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: That's are you seriously?
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: There's no way, dude, what the hell all over everything?
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: First time I'm hearing about it. But I did look
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: up the the album cover, uh, and culin I will
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: say that this looks like how typically our hangouts would
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: end up with your now this obviously you know f one,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: you know I would imagine this was f one fifty
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: one fifty yours was more of a an S ten
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Chevy as ten. But you know this is typically how
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: when we were hanging out in high school, every night
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: ended looking like this.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we we definitely use an abuse that that will
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: pick up a mine.
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: And yeah that that was just the backseat.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: There was no backseat. Believe me, you could. You couldn't
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: like it. There was a There was a bench up front, though,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: and the heater worked good.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Princess one, the most passenger princess you've ever met in
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: your life.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: You wonder how much of a passenger princess he was.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Not only did he cross his legs, but he also
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: crossed his arms.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: Oh that's a grumpy little guy.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: I'm always grumpy.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Wait are you still hungry or did you eat?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like you ate something I haven't eaten yet.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: But that's all right, I'll eat soon.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: So push through.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Uh you all ready for my number one because I'm
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: about to steal it from Colin probably?
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah you are.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: My number one?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: And this is an album that I wasn't expecting to
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: be my number one at all. This is a band
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: that I've liked but have never thought Okay, this is
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: a band that will be in my number one album. Also,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: this is an album and we've done this list, this
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: sort of list for a number of years now, and
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: most of those albums, like you know, I've really enjoyed,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I love, but they aren't albums that like I've ever
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: considered over the last five years. I haven't considered any
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: of these like top five albums, albums that I would
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: put in my like top ten albums of all time.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: This is an album I could see in five years
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent being in my top ten same year,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: and that is Foxing self titled. Obviously Foxing.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: I was not expecting this album in any way, shape
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: or form. I've been a big fan of Foxing for
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Nearer My Nearer My God came out probably was that
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. Uh, that was one of my
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: top five and it's a great album, wonderful album. I
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: listened to it still pretty consistently to this day. This album, though,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: this self titled, will probably go down as a top
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: ten favorite album of all time for me. It's just
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: it is next level. It's everything that I love about
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: alternative music. And it wasn't the album I was expecting
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: because I have never heard Foxing screen before and they
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: both connor.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: You keep saying that, but they've definitely screamed before.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Not in this way though, like this is most hardcore.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: Definitely definitely not like this, but they have screened before.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: So they have screamed. But like, I was not expecting
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: a literal post like part of the album being post hardcore.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody's expecting that, especially considering that their last album was
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: very much like an indie pop album, very electronic kind
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: of drive. And it was a good album, but it
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't nearly my favorite until like go from that album
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: to something that literally sounds like every like the the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: like the screamo that you would have heard in like
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: the early nineties or something like that. It's very guttural.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: But then the other part of that is that the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: very next like measure in the song would all of
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: a sudden be like an eighty synth pop song, yeah,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: and then it would turn it and then it turns
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: into an indie country song somehow, and then it turns in.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: But you but you don't feel like you're You're like,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: it's not witting Jarred one way or the other. It's
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: just all of it has melded so well together. Yeah,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: that's what they It's just well done. Everything about it
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: is amazing. Uh And I just wasn't expecting that at all.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Again, they're like a kind of band where I'll pay
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: attention to like what they're doing. And you know, the
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: last number of the last maybe two albums have been
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: like okay, like that's a good album, or you know,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: that's a couple of good songs. The first song I
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: heard from this album was like a eight minute long
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: kind of post rock type of song, and then then
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: X song was literally like a punk rock, scream centric
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: type of song that you would hear from five And
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: I was just like what is this? This is amazing
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: And the rest of the album was so well done. Yeah,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: this is an album that even though I'm not like,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: to me, Foxing is not going to be probably ever
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: a top ten favorite artist of all time for me,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: but they will probably this album probably will be a
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: top ten favorite album of all time for me. It
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: is next level. I just I couldn't believe it. It
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: is absolutely unbelievable. If you have not heard this album yet,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: highly recommend it. It's one of the best. It's the
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: best album I probably heard in the last five years.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sold.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I uh, that is my number one as well.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: It is it is everything I love about, not just
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: heavy music, but music. Like it's like all my favorite
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: genres in one and one package, done perfectly with a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: little bit of like eccentricities at times, with those lyrics
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: that really hit you like a freight train, with great riffs,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: with experimental textures, with everything it's it is. I don't
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: want to say a perfect record, because I don't think
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: there that ever will exist, but this is pretty damn close.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: And I don't think Mason's being hyperbolic by saying that
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: this could be, you know, a favorite album of all
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: time kind of record.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: Check.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: The other thing I want to the other thing I
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: want to add to this is I saw them for
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: the first time live this year when they were touring
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: on this album, and that was probably a number of
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: months ago now maybe sometime this early this summer there again,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: like think about like this is a band that their
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: last album was an indie pop album that was like
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: almost all electronic music. They had a mash pit at
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: their show this year because like of how hard some
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: of these songs go, like they that's the kind of
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: dynamic that you get in a band like Foxing. And
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: also I want to add live. Uh, you know, Cullen
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: has seen some of the best live musicians ever. You know,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: you've seen Paul McCartney, You've you've seen you know, the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Flaming Lips, You've seen some of the best live musicians ever.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: I have. I you know, I'm pretty like narrowly in
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: the like alternative music scene. I do think Connor from
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Foxing might be the best vocalist I've ever heard live. Wow,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: the way he's able to hit his like falsetto live
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: and then be able to literally scream right after. I
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: mean it rivals his voice, rivals in terms of talent
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: to me, rivals someone like Christian Linkskog from Blindside. It's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: just it's especially especially how Yeah live and it's just
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: like it's unparalleled, how he's able to just like literally
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: sing the like the prettiest thing you've ever heard, and
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: then just go into like guttural screaming. It's it's it's
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: next level. I've never seen it before. It's really well done.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: It's probably the best person I've ever seen just vocally
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: be able to do everything you need to be able
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: to do vocally in a show and just do it flawlessly.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen that before. I
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: remember after the show I immediately texted Colin and said,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: I think Connor might be the most talented vocalist I've
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: ever seen live. Yeah, I was just so like and
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: I've never seen that before live, so I didn't have
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: any precedent on it at all, and he's just amazing.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: So I can't recommend the album enough. Everything about it
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: is so well done. It's well produced, it's well crafted.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Like the song just even the song order like starts
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: out super heavy. You get songs that are like very mellow,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: you get a song like it's just it's just crafted well.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: This even the song order is well done. Everything about
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: it is perfectly done to me.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: Yep, I agree.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: So all right, Well, our number one is shared, So Austin,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: who's number one for you?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: My number one album of the year was Little Dicki's Penith.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Dude, I'm a huge Little Dicky fan. Are you actually
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: doing I haven't.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Heard Little Dicky songs forever.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: If you guys watched the show, dave On FX that
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: come out. So Keenith was the hypothetical album from.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: That show that he put out and it.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: Released in January, and when that dropped, I said, this
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: is the best album that's going.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: To come out all year.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: And when I got to the end of the year,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: I looked back on my notes and there's nothing in
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: my opinion that's been released that I have gone back
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: to it and five my Spotify wrapped and I love it.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: So we listened to that on tour driving like the
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: whole album front back. It's phenomenal. I mean, I know
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: he's like kind of a joke artist, but this album
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: is really good. And if you guys are interested, it's
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: a show called dave on FX.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: It's about a it's awesome.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: It's like something out of biographical comedy about a rapper
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: who's trying to make his way through the industry, and
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: it's pretty crude and whatnot, but it's like quite one
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: of the.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: One of the more. It's very much like Atlanta if
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: you watched Atlanta.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: But he put out an album that has like twenty
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: something song or six fifteen to twenty songs or whatever,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: and we're probably going to have on our next album
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: a song called Jail Part two. Yeah, it's not going
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: to be about the same thing, but just a reference
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: to that.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah right now too. He has not released any music,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: or at least a full album, since twenty fifteen.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's like the first real big thing that
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: he did, and yeah, it's so good.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what it is about. I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: have a strange knack of finding strange white rappers early early, early,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: early career.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: I found that Mackailmore is another one.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: I Foundlmore when when thrift Shop had less than ten
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: thousand views on it and I was like spreading it around.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: And the other one is uh ex boyfriend from from
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: a Little Dickie I found when it had like a
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: thousand views as all, and I was I was spreading
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: it around. I don't know what it is about dumb
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: white rappers that I that I.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: Shout out Sean Mott from Metal corn Nerds.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: I know he'll appreciate that reference to so hell.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sick, that's sick, gata for life.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: Not too many, not too many rappers can say they
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: got their start because of bot mitzvote money.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bought me some money.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there is that. Yeah, that's.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: Well, let's have that is my daughter needs to take

  Speaker 2: rock band. Their album Oath came out. It's good. It's
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: not great, but anything Mono does I'm on board with
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: and I love it, so it's always gonna make my
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: top ten list.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: Thou came out with an absolutely insane record with Umbilical.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone listens to that. To Thou,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: we are going to have them on at some point.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Those guys are amazing and I think that they stand
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: for so many good things. So Umbellical is an incredible record.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Project eighty six Omni Part two. I really really dug
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: that record. Part one is great, Part two is just
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: as good in my opinion. Meadows Familiar with Pain, gloom
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: Child Midnight in Limbo. Gloom Child is another band we're
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: gonna have on actually tomorrow.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow, and we'll interview tomorrow.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: We'll interviewed tomorrow. They are an insanely talented group of
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: people and they deserve more recognition and they're very, very
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: genuine kind people. Also the band The Smile, which is
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: basically Radiohead. Their new record is awesome, Delta hates new records,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Great light Workers album is great, and then one that
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't need any shout outs, but I want to anyway.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: J Cantrell's new record solo record is so good, so good.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: I want blood great name too. So that's that's my list, Mason.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Great list. All right, I've got a few more. I
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: would have mentioned Touche More they were my number six,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: but I do have a few here that you have
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: nobody's mentioned yet. So from Indian Lake's Head Void, this
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: is a band that I was really into ten years ago,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: kind of lost track of like, what a lot of
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: what they're doing, but they actually open for Foxing And
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: they released a new album this year as well, and
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: it's like like their most shoegazy album. It's so shoegazy.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm a huge fan of anything like pretty shoegazy,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: big fan, but just a big fan of you know,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: they normally are like really good songwriters, but God, this
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: this album is like kind of a notch above the rest.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's probably.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wow, dang, oh.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Justin, I didn't realize you were a from Indian Links fans.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: That's one of those records that I haven't listened to yet,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: and that's just because I haven't thought about it or
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: had time. And it's probably gonna end up becoming one
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: of my favorites, but it will be a year late.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: So it's well done. It's well done. It's yeah, it's
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: definitely their most shoegazy thing. It's I just really like
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: it a lot. Number eight for me would have been
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: Drug Churches, Prude. I'm actually kind of surprised nobody mentioned
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Drug Church.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: I was gonna have a full length, right.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: So I feel at least Drug Church requires a shout out.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: A huge fan of Drug Church, Colin and I. I
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: don't know if you were at the their furnesce vest
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: set JJ, but Colin and I were there and they
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: literally like had people, they would had crowdsurfers literally like
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: lined to the back all the way to the back
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: at the shed. It was so cool, brilliant, so good. Also,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised Colin at least you didn't mention
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: this album. But Dustin Kencrew had a solo album this
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: year that was like a country kind of almost like
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: spaghetti western album at times, called Desert Dreaming. I think
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: it was really well done. It was definitely an album
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: that was left field for him in terms of his
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: solo stuff. He's never done quite anything like this before.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: But you know, he has like such a I've always
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: thought that Dustin Kencrew's voice would have been perfect either
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: for post grunge or for country, and it's kind of
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: interesting that he ended up in this post hardcore band,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: but I've always thought his voice actually has been perfect
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: for either post grunge or country. And he finally like
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: did a country album and it sounds so good. And
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: my little claim to fame to this album is maybe
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: two or three years ago, I was hanging out with
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: Dustin and he was asking me like if there would
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: be like because at the time he was like writing
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: this album and recording it, and he was like, hey,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: is there a cover, like a song that I should cover?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Because he was at the time, I think he was
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: only at like nine songs. He was wanting to get
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: to ten songs. He was like, I think I should
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: do a cover. So I was like trying to recommend
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: some like songs that he could cover and that ended
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: up not happening, but still unbelievable album. So I do
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: feel like I at least tried to give input to
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: this album.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: You should have reached out to me and asked me
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: what I thought.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have been way better at it than
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: I would have. So anyway, Dustin Cancer's Desert Dreaming definitely
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: deserves at least a shout out. And then to just
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: round out my list, Pedro the Lion had a new
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: album this year as well. I feel like they deserve
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: a shout out. I saw them live. I'm a huge
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: fan of Dave and they just put on an incredible show.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Definitely not my favorite album of theirs, but just well done.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: The typical Pedro the Lion type of stuff. You can't
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: go wrong with Pedro Lion sound. Nothing that was new
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: from them, which if they would have done maybe something
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: new that they would have executed, well I probably would
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: have had it higher. But nothing new from them. It's
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: going to be classic pager Lion stuff. And anything Peder
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Lion that's going to be classic pager Line stuff is
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: going to be top ten for me. So that runs
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: out my list.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we've already mentioned a couple of my honorable mentions,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 5: so like the Better Lovers.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: Record, Drug Church, Pedro.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: Meadows, Light Worker like and those are my pals. So
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 5: like shout outs to my friends. But just to say
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 5: face a little bit because I mentioned a bunch of
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 5: rapped and like mainstream records, there were a lot of
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: heavy records I really like this year. So like Nails
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 5: had a new record, Kubla Khan had a new record
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 5: this year. We already talked about Full of Hell, but
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: Full of Hell put out coagulated bliz.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: Is it bliss? I'm pretty sure it's bliss anyway.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 5: But then I think my biggest honorable mention is gonna
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 5: be Matt Kurekis from Citizen put out a record, and
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 5: I just I've always loved his voice and his lyricism too.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 5: But this, this solo record, like outside of the Citizen
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 5: World is really really special. It's called to Dream of
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: Something Wicked, and if you're a Citizen fan at all,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 5: you should probably listen to it.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 5: There was a bunch of really good stuff, like I mean,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: Candy It's inside You, it's really good. Back into kind
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 5: of the mainstream stuff, like Megan the Stallion put out
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 5: two different records.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 7: That's good.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: Doja Cat put out a really fun record. Beyonce did
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: a country record that was cool. I'm trying to think
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: of smaller artist. Oh, my girlfriend turned me onto Medium Builds.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 5: He put out a record called Country Else.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: No, we're not married, so we don't do that. It's
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: for the Christian podcast.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: And then yeah, I don't know.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: That, and you're an idol threat, so definitely.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: Oh dude, yeah, we don't do any of that. Microwaves,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: Microwave put out a new record. It's really good.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, totally forgot. Microwave put out album Let's.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: Start degenerously, right, yay? I like pulled up my little.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 5: Instagram posts I'm like going through it now, but yeah,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: I mean there was so much good music this year.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know, like this.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: Is the first year in a while that you know,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 5: before I even made a.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: List, I was like, man, like it maybe there wasn't
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: that much.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 5: And then when you start going back through everything you've
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: listened to, it's like, okay, no, there's still like a
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 5: ton of really like cool stuff being put out.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: So yeah, for sure, great honorable mentions. Yeah, well, thank
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: you so much for again. Like I mentioned at the
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: top of the episode. But my goodness, like I just
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: like think that we're over the last like five six years,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: like especially the world that we're in of alternative music,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: both heavy indie stuff, just so much coming out. I
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: remember when I was in college, you know, like early
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: two thousand and tens, it just always seemed like maybe
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: I just was like very like you know, I at
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: that time, I wasn't really into like Title Fight, but
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: like Title Fight was kind of popping off at that time,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: and I just like totally missed that whole thing. But
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: I and maybe a lot of that. It was just
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: I missed a lot of albums, But my goodness, there
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: was just so much good music coming out right now,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: and I just feel very fortunate in the same way
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: where I remember at the way I compare it is,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: I remember, like to four to two thousand and nine,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: all the Tooth and Nail stuff that was coming out.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: It's just everything that was coming out, it was all
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: brand new to me. It was all amazing, and I
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: just like, and I felt like a kid at a
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: candy store, just like anything that's coming out from Tooth
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: Andnail in that time period, I'm just gonna eat it
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: right up. And I just feel the same way right
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: now for the last five years, anything that's coming out
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: that's like new to me, or there's like a band
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: that like it's not new to me, but they're just
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: making amusing, amusing music. Just everything about it. I just
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like a kid at a candy store again.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: So I just think we're just at an amazing point
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: of music. And maybe that never stopped. Maybe it was
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: always like that. I don't know, but my goodness, we're
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: just at to me, a golden age of of great
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: alternative music.
• 1:22:43
