In this episode, we finally get the answers we’ve been waiting for.

Benjamin James Howard joins the show for a candid, no-holds-barred walk through those years.  The sessions, the stories, the industry, and the album that got away. It's raw, it's honest, and is a conversation we loved.

Rae talks about how the album came together, what it means to make a truly intentional body of work in an era that demands content over craft, and why listeners should experience Soul Rot front to back rather than on shuffle.

And because no conversation with Rae would be complete without it — they get into their love of Tolkien, and what Middle-earth means to them.

Plus, in the intro, Chris and Nick discuss new music from Super Sometimes, Grade 2, and Good Riddance.

The band break down their rapid rise over the past six months — how the buzz started, what’s changed, and how they’ve handled the jump from local favourites to building international attention. They open up about what it’s like being a pop punk band in Penang, growing a scene outside of the traditional US strongholds, and the realities of pushing the genre forward from Southeast Asia.

We also dive into their US pop punk influences — the records that shaped them, the bands that made them want to start, and how they balance those inspirations with creating something that feels uniquely their own.

In the intro, Chris and Nick catch up on the brand-new album Listen Up! by New Found Glory, alongside new music from The Menzingers and Social Distortion. There’s also spotlight time for Ninebanks and other emerging UK artists, plus a wider conversation about the strength of non-US scene bands and why the global pop punk community feels more connected than ever.

A worldwide episode with local roots — and proof that pop punk has no borders.

This time we had the pleasure of being joined by Pat and Derek from the excellent Driveways. Our pathes had crossed earlier this year in Pittsburgh, and it was great to spend some more time with these guys. The band has been having another superb year (one quick look at Reddit will demonstrate how much love there is for them within the scene). We discuss their recent EP 'Tempest' and how they feel about it. We also touch upon their history and influences, as well as how they balance playing in a successul band with being high school teachers!

'Tempest' is out everywhere.

Chris and Nick also take a brief look back at an incredible year for the podcast. A big thank you to every guest we've had in 2024, all our friends in Pittsburgh at Four Chord Festival (especially Rishi and Adam), and of course, our third member Greg O'Grady for his amazing work on the show this year.

]]> Today we are joined by James Scarlett, organiser and band booker of 2000 Trees and ArcTanGent festivals. James talks about how 2000 Trees Festival was conceived by him and five friends back in 2006. They wanted to create a festival that had a great a community around it and was a pleasant one to attend. 2000 Trees was born in 2007 and has been going ever since, featuring artists like Frank Turner and Jimmy Eat World over the years. The festival will welcome headliners The Gaslight Anthem later this summer as well as other impressive names.

James also co-hosts the podcast '2 Promoters, 1 Pod', which provides a great insight into what it is like being a successful promoter, be sure to give it a listen.

In the intro this time, Chris and Nick have a special guest in the form of Bobby Grohl from Elvana! Bobby gives us a peak into what it's like being part of the awesome machine that is Elvana. We also discuss Taylor Swift referencing The Starting Line on her new album, as well as music from Mest, Super American, and Militarie Gun.

Forming in 2017, the band have been making catchy, pop punk songs and have attracted a large following. We discuss the band's formation and how they ended up on Wiretap Records.

Baby Got Back Talk have put together a mixtape full of artists demonstrating that Wenner’s argument that woman and people of colour 'didn't articulate at that level' within rock music is nonsense. 

The band will also be releasing a new song and video which will accompany the article and mixtape. Keep an eye out for this soon.

In the mean time, check out the most recent EP from the band 'Wince, Repeat', available everywhere.

Darrin is probably best known as the long term drummer for legendary band Goldfinger which he founded with John Feldmann in the mid-90s. Aside from being in Goldfinger for two decades, Darrin has kept busy with a number of projects including being part of Punk Rock Karoke (with the likes of Eric Melvin and Greg Hetson), being a radio host (currently for The Dangerous Darrin Show on Idobi) and running High 4 Records. We go into detail on all of the above, and it was fascinating to hear about!

 

Darrin recently released a new single by Weezer legend Jason Cropper called 'Goodness Knows', which is available everywhere.
