162.🤘New Found Glory Self-Titled (2000)

Dan, Manny, & Billy put New Found Glory’s Self-Titled pop-punk-emo “classic” to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“New Found Glory shoots their load on the first five songs of this album.” -Billy

WARNING! This episode is a brutal takedown & nostalgic epiphany, so if you’re sensitive to hearing your favorite band be taken to task then listen still and email us your opinions to [e-mail]. We also have a special audience member/guest who was on the Little Monsters episode, Andrew Breen (rocktapusjones). Theres so much talk about what it means to be a “classic” band, the groups we have to leave behind, and the ridiculous things that happen hanging out past 2am. Nostalgia definitely doesn’t mean that things are good, and the guys get into that as well, and is emo-pop-punk a whole genre of dudes who were friend zoned, maybe. This gets talked about and so much more.

So grab your oldest Warped Tour t-shirt, prep your voice for some unadulterated screaming, get ready to cry your heart out about that high school crush that “didn’t want to ruin the friendship,” and join us on a nostalgic walk down a 2000s memory lane.
