Speaker 2 (05:36):
That was sync with me with their latest single, Marrying
at It's a band from the Wooster Matt's hometown area.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Stomping grounds Man. Wooster's a town that hasn't changed ever.
I just drove through it like over Thanksgiving going back home,
and I was like, oh, yeah, no, Everything's still the
same as it was every time I come through here.
Not a single thing has changed.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yep. So make sure you go sport sync with me.
I know they got new music coming out, more shows, tours,
stuff like that, so go support them. I believe a
few of them are on the Facebook group and they're
really dope. Dude. A trailer we've been waiting for for
it seems like forever. Daredevil Born Again trailer dropped this
week finally, and boy was it worth the wait. I
love how they framed this trailer with a conversation between
(06:23):
Matt Murdoch and Wilson Fis. I thought that was beautiful
with teasing this new continued story and introducing some new
characters to the world and finally cementing Daredevil's place within
the MCU. Obviously, Matt Murdoch, Daredevil, and Kingpin have made
their debuts in the MCU, but to have this, you know,
(06:45):
basically season four, Daredevil Born Again is a very literal
name in the sense of what it's doing for this series,
and I'm just so over the moon and stoked. I
just started rewatching their original series. I'm almost for season
one just because I'm so hyped and i want to
be refreshed and caught back up because it's been a
(07:06):
minute since that came out. We were talking, we're recording,
like we're seeing people in the air, and I'm like, yeah,
we were in high school and the dar Devil series
came out, which hurts. Yeah, but with it, Well, Matt,
would you think of this trailer, dude?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I mean, first of all, right, we've been talking about
this show for what two years or something. They've been
talking about it. First it was eighteen episodes and then
they cut it down and now I guess this is
Part one, and then we saw Daredevil last in she Hulk,
where he was like this happy, go lucky, yeah kind
of guy. But now, man, when they open up this trailer,
it's the last time we saw Kingpin and Matt together.
(07:41):
Was Matt essentially screaming in his face that he beat
him after he just punched his face out, and now
here they are. He's like, you're doing pretty well for yourself.
You know, you're a lawyer, You're focused on that. And
then Matt was like, I could say the same to you, Mayor,
and you know, he's the mayor of New York City
right now, which maybe at a certain time we would
have been like, no way. But but it's interesting to
(08:01):
see how they're gonna spin Kingpin taking over New York City,
which I think is awesome and it really brings the
MCU back to some grassroots almost. I'm ready to get
back down to ground level things, just to kind of
take that step back and see what they've been doing,
because apparently Matt hasn't been Daredevil for a little bit,
which is interesting because again, the last time we saw
him he was in Daredevil Garb in she Hulk, and
(08:24):
so now he kind of hung it up, focused on
his law firm. We get Foggy, we get Karen, we
even get Frank Bullseye makes an appearance, and then we
got a couple of other characters like Mews and White Tigers.
So there's a lot there. And dude, I feel like
they made a point to really show us like the
Saints you Mom's Disney Plus, because every chance they showed
it was somebody's bones being snapped in half and protruding
(08:47):
out of the skin, and you're just like, oh, oh, lowered.
It was great.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, it's awesome. I love that it has the same tone,
It has the same vibe as the Netflix series, and
I know that both of them have. Vincent Andofrio and
Charlie Cox have said that they go some places they
didn't go in the Netli series, which is kind of
crazy because the dude impales himself in like episode six
or something like I just watched The Head with a
(09:13):
Door that too, So there's some pretty brutal shit in
that series. But with the inclusion of Muse, Muse is
a fucking psychopath and art victims. Yeah, yeah, he makes
our Robbs victims. Like one of the first paintings you
see that he does in the comics. He does with
the blood of one hundred people like this dude is
(09:35):
a full blown psychopath. I just wrote two articles for
this for Clydeer. One was explaining Muse's comic background and
how they could utilize him in the series, and then
one with White Tiger. A White Tiger background is pretty nuts.
There's some a couple of versions of the White Tiger
that are pretty off the wall. Yeah, and then there's
the Ila family that are connected and they all kind
(09:56):
of it's like a lineage kind of thing, which I
think they'll probably do something with the MCU because the
actor who played White Tiger in this series unfortunately passed
last year.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That's right, I completely forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And it's a pretty tragic character in the comics and
does end up dying and getting accused for murder when
he didn't do the murder and stuff like that. But
in the trailer we also see him throw a guy
in front of a train, so we'll see this ursion
might be a little different in some liberties, if you will.
I'm hoping Frank Castle, because he looks like he's been
through some shit, all right, I'm hoping he like survived
(10:27):
the blip, we get some backstory of like what the
fuck he's been up to for life.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I could actually say that because one of my theory,
because there's been rumors that they're talking about a Punisher
show coming, I actually I almost want them to have
him survive that, and then I want him to kind
of be like that Ronan. You know how Ronan during
the five years was out there taking down kingpins, if
you will, And so I kind of hope Frank Castle's
delivering that street justice and that's what his show kind
(10:53):
of is, maybe catching us up over that five year
time span, and then his first season maybe ends where
Daredevil picks up. I get to be kind of like Daredevil,
and then it's kind of a flashback. But I think
that could work, especially in this character of Frank Castle
kind of showing some of the street level justice that
he was maybe doing or maybe because I don't really
believe that he would have retired or quit, but you know,
(11:15):
who knows, retirement's so hot right now in the MCU.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It would be kind of cool if they did, if
they took like an arrow approach where they showed flashbacks
but weaved it in with what's currently happening. That would
serve a cool purpose where it like fills in some
gaps but also pushes the story forward. I mean, Creature
Commandos did that too, I mean differently because it was
kind of showing the origins of these new characters as
it came in. But I feel like that format would
be really cool, and I don't think it's something that
(11:39):
the MCS really done. Haven't.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Actually, they've always alluded to, like the you know with
WandaVision they kind of showed yeah, they kind of like
a loose to the guy. They showed Elena's, but it
was like a scene they really didn't give us, which
I'm kind of surprised that they just kind of blew
past and breeze pasted it very quickly, especially in the timeframe.
(12:03):
Whether it really hasn't been a whole lot building towards
something there has If there hasn't, right, I feel like
they've missed a big opportunity to really showcase the world
in the world building they could have done during that
five year timespan. So who knows, Maybe they will go back.
I kind of hope they do, but I'm pumped for
Frank Castle. It's really if you're not familiar with Bullseye.
Like this character of Bullseye from this universe in particular,
(12:26):
he's a psychopath in his own right. If you haven't
seen him, I very much. Yeah, I recommend going and
watching Daredevil season three and refreshing your memory because the
dude is a psychopath. This ain't Colin Ferrell's touching his forehead,
you know, tongue in cheek. The Bullseye is. This guy
is nuts. And that's what I'm really excited for. They're
(12:46):
They're really going to go balls to the wall with this,
I think, and I could not be happier to see
what's happening here. And it's also cool because I thought
that at one point they were saying how the actress
who played Vanessa wasn't coming back, but she is back now,
and I'm really excited for that. It's all the continuity
pieces that are coming back from Netflix. It's it's a
continuation which a lot of people were worried about too.
(13:07):
Is oh or they just kind of basically wash Netflix's
series away, But no, they make call the callbacks all
the characters. I think that's one thing that I'm really
on board. I love some continuity and that's just has
me even more hyped.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Brad Wonderbaum, who's like a producer for a big producer
for Marvel Studios, has like he confirmed, He's like, yeah,
all those series are cannon.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I do think they'll probably take some things and change
them loosely, oh for sure. But I don't think it'll
be like obviously, they're carrying the main pieces, so they
don't have to redo anything like show Matt's origin or
anything like that. They don't have to redo a bunch
of stuff. But I think I still think it's going
to be like a story you can kind of jump
into and be able to watch it and not be
confused at all, which is cool too. And I am
(13:50):
so stoked because it seems like they are following pretty closely,
or at least, you know, as close as the MCU
does to the comics with Kingpin running for Mayor, and
it seems like his platform is definitely gonna be an
anti vigilante thing, and that's fits right in tone with
what the mc has been going on, like what we
saw in Spider Man Knowing Home, what we saw in
Miss Marvel with the DODC and stuff like that. Like
(14:11):
I wonder if he's gonna work hand in hand with
the do DC and kind of try and put a
stop to vigilanteism in New York City at least. Yeah,
And I'm interested to see Matt Murdoch and Daredevil deal
with that, because he has to deal with that in
both cases. And it's it's cool. We've already established that
he is a you know, like a prominent lawyer in
the kind of superhero world. You know, he represented Peter
(14:34):
Parker and then we saw him and she Hulk doing
the lawyer thing again. So it's cool that they set
up these like little building blocks that could have seemed
inconsequential at first, but they really are kind of leading
in new people into like who this guy is. And
I think that's so dope, and I'm praying that eventually
we get to see, you know, Daredevil and Spider Man
(14:54):
team up and Spider Man faced off versus this version
of Kingpin, Like it's gotta happen. It's gotta I mean,
they kind of they it's like they're toying with the idea,
right because they've mentioned this a little bit. Oh, Spider
Man four is going to take him back to just
in the city area, and things of that nature.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
They know each other, they're kind of toying it. I
feel like it would be a very big miss opportunity
if they didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm very interested to see what the line he crossed
is and that shot of the Dareduble mass falling with
the horn missing and the d is and then they open.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Up and you've got like it's it's Iron Man, but
it's his four different masks and suits. I'd love a
good suit change. Like what am I feeling to Am
I gonna go gold? Am I gonna go No? I
don't know, man, my personality.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, but March fourth, Darreed o'lborn Agan's hitting our TV
screens and I cannot fucking wait. And I'm so so
as speaking of some more Disney plus stuff, Skeleton Crew
just wrapped up the nice Goonies esque Star Wars series
helmed by John Watts Yes and starring of the incomparable
Jude Law. This series is so fun. Like made a
(16:04):
post saying like, oh, what everyone feel about the finale
and someone commented like, oh, I tuned out because it
didn't feel like Star Wars, And I was like, bro,
I was like, this is the most Star Wars feeling
thing I just legit has ever released. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'm going to make a bold claim right now, and
I know there might be some people who maybe if
they're watching or listening, they're going to throw something. But this,
honest to god, is my favorite Star Wars TV show
that they have ever released. I am confident in saying that.
My big thing was I was feeling that way and
then I was like, but will they stick the landing?
(16:38):
And to me, they did a lot of things that
stuck the landing and also planted seeds, and it was,
without a doubt my favorite Star Now.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I love and Or.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Do not get me wrong, I am a big, big
and Or fan, but there's a lot of things with
this show that really captured the Star Wars spirits two phases.
So it captured that childlike wonder that Star Wars introduced
to us. I remember as a kid first watching Star Wars,
You're thinking, Wow, lightsabers, wow space, battle space, going on adventures.
(17:12):
That's awesome. And you captured that with the kids, Whim
and Neil and Fern, they all kind of captured that
child like wonder. You have Whim and Neil pretending to
lightsaber battle with each other. You know, they look up
to the Jedi.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
You're supposed to be a Jedi.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You're not a Jedi. And then you also have that
the reality is the Empire takes over, right, They're not
good people and everything is not so black and white
in the universe, in the Star Wars universe, and there's
a lot of dark, serious undertones. And you get that
with John, who is just a guy who was picked
up by a Jedi post Order sixty six and then
(17:47):
watched as inquisitors came and killed her in front of him,
and now he's just trying to make his way in life.
You could tell he's not fully a bad guy. He
didn't want to hurt the kids that you could see
a lot of that in him. He just wanted to
make his way in the galaxy man. And so you
combine those two things, it's wonder it's a venture. It's
(18:08):
beautiful cinematography. It's beautiful, like the ships, the way they moved,
and the planets and the species we got to see.
All of that combined really really made this hit for
me in the in the Star Wars aspect, and it
even got my son, who's nine years old he did.
He's always been I don't like Star Wars. I don't
like Star Wars. He watched Skeleton Crew in its entirety,
(18:29):
and now he loved it so that it did that
for him and he took something different from it, whereas
and Or is not something he's gonna watch and understand.
But it really opened it up in a long winded way.
So I definitely think it's my favorite Star Wars show
that they've put out. I mean, you also have that
like sentimental attachment to him, so that makes sense. And
I mean, I think it's one of the best Disney
(18:51):
plus Star Wars series. I mean, I don't think anything
in Star Wars is as well written as and Or,
like period, anything in Star Wars like that's the most
that's the best forrit in Star Wars thing to ever
come back. That's absolutely fair.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It was like an HBO show and just happens to
be a Star Wars show. I mean, Mando season one
holds a very special place in my heart. I love
the series too, It's great. And I like what you
said about John because it's even though he's the villain
of the series quote unquote.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
He's bad guy, but does he bad guy exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And I like that he's complicated. But he also didn't
get redeemed, which is a big Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yes, everybody hits redeemed. They've redeemed Darth Vader. They redeem
Kylo Wren, who in my opinion, should not have been redeemed.
That would have made it way more better. And so
the fact that they didn't redeem him, but he also
gives Whim this look of I'm so damn proud of
you right now before he discovers it's like, oh man,
that's what made him such a good character. Is He
(19:50):
even said, I don't want to hurt any of you.
I just want money, man, Why can't you guys like,
let me get the money and go?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And tragic to see him try and fill that void
in his life with money, and it's it's a void
that'll never be filled. But and I think he might
have realized that by the end of this. But what
a cool layered character to do. In that final shot
with Whim looking up at the New Republic ships, I
(20:16):
was like that Star Wars right there, baby, Yes, it
fills you.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It ends with hope, because even in an empire strikes back,
right they just lost. Luke has no hand. He just
found out this space Hitler is his dad. And there
he is at the end with that hopeful music as
they look out into the stars, him and Leya give
it ends you with hope. And that's what this kind
of does, right, I mean, the good guys didn't lose
their planet. Their planet's kind of exposed, which I thought
(20:42):
was a really something really cool, Okay, is I would
love to dig a little deeper into that. How they
managed to hide their planet and preserve everything from the Empire,
which I thought was.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
One hundreds of year.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, it was a really cool concept. For hundreds like
forty years during the entire run of the Empire, they
basically hid their planet, which I thought was super cool.
That's something more I want to explore because I think
that opens up the opportunity for their if we're going
to go back into rebuilding the Jedi. I feel like
there's something that you can really do there, and that's
(21:15):
a seed that might pay off later. But yeah, man,
just like looking up there that childlike wonder of hope,
and I would like to see I both want whim
to end up being a Jedi, but I also would
love to follow him and get a top Gun style
series of him being a pilot and going through New
Republic Pilot training in school and becoming this New Republic
(21:38):
pilot that pays off down the road as well. I
think that would be pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I saw someone post and they're like, what if this
show was actually like a backdoor pilot into a revamped
version of The Ranger of the New Republic and it
actually just has the kids in it?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Because how good were the kids?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Man?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Those kids actors, all four of them, bow take a
bow because they acted their asses off. They the emotions
they portrayed. It was Neil was just I love him
and Neil the actor who played Neil. You might have
seen him. He was in that movie Dear Santa with
Jack Black recently where he accidentally writes a letter to Santa,
(22:19):
but he's dyslexic, so it goes to Satan and it
was a funny movie. But that's the actor, so he's
on the come up. And then I really loved Fern
had a lot of Leah in her. I felt I
would love to follow her as well, because where we're
gonna eventually pick up, hopefully in a new trilogy, These
all these kids, they're going to be adults by then, right,
(22:40):
Like this is this takes place not long after the
fall of the Empire. In between that we're in that
time frame before the Force Awakens and return of the Jedi.
So I would love to see their characters later because Leah,
she's That's what she reminded me of a lot there.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Was, Leah. Yeah. The thing that's cool is that we
know it takes place during the Mandalorian Verse time, but
we don't know exactly how far into it or how
close it to that, because even the time and that
stuff is pretty ambiguous and not really locked down. If
they bring them back and they they're aged up, because
we know as we watch Stranger Things, we know kids
(23:19):
age very quickly. There's been big rumors of them being
included in Dave Filoni's movie, which will be the movie
after The Manlorian Grogu that comes out in twenty twenty six,
So that'd be cool to see him come back in that.
Like maybe they'll show up in Ahsoka season two. I
have no idea, like we'll see or if they get
a season two, I'd be very stoked. I know the
(23:39):
viewership is kind of fine, but the word of mouth
and the reaction to has been very, very positive.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I've seen nothing but positive things about this show, and
you're right the viewership, which is why they claim the
Actite got canceled. It was the viewership. This kind of
revitalizes because Star Wars has been kind of aimless lately
as well. Outside of me, Laurien, how many movies have
been announced that you just never see or hear from
your squadron, And there's just like ten movies, so they're
(24:09):
kind of like wandering aimlessly, throwing darts maybe at the board.
But I feel like this is the besides and Or,
which we know how that ends because Rogue one and
then goes into so we already know how that ends.
Whereas this one, you want to see what happens to Jod.
He's what's happening with him?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Now?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Okay, these kid characters in this planet at and what's
going on here. I feel like they laid a lot
of good bricks to build this road, and I feel
like now they've kind of that's a good like right there,
build off of this and expand out and really start
to build your universe again.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
So yeah, Skeleton Crew, fucking awesome. If you haven't watched it,
What are you doing? Go watch it.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
It's worth every second of your life, trust me.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, get on that shit if you haven't, If you
haven't watched it. But we're in the show with our
top ten releases of twenty twenty four, we're including EPs
in the ten. So doing a little different. We're gonna
kick it off with honorable mentions. I'm just gonna list mine.
My honorable mentions are Lincoln Park from zero, the return
(25:07):
of Lincoln Park that some people think it's controversial, but
they're selling out stadiums and sold millions of copies, so
not really controversial. One silence people watching Super Dope band
from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They're currently crushing it on a codline
towards victims right now. If that's coming near the city,
make sure you go check that out. A Little Dicky.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Penith, Oh yeah, a little do My wife loves a
Little Dicky.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Which this record is all of the songs from the
show Dave, which.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I oh yeah, she's a big fan of.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, So this album was just the best. It's you
get to hear all these full songs of songs, you
hear snippets from from the show, So I thought it
was great. And then my last honrable mention is Kublai
Khan Exhibition of Prowess, super heavy fucking album.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I was one of my honorables too.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It is great, it's good, good stuff. But Matt, what
do you got other than I?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah? I like got them, and then I wanted to
throw Real Friends in there is my only real other
honorable mention besides Lincoln Park. I'm glad to see Mike
and the crew carry on. It is taking some getting
adjusting to as it is, but I good for them.
Lincoln Park was such an influence into who I was
and shaped, you know, musically because I was really the media.
(26:22):
Or was the first album I ever bought with my
own money. So them and then Real Friends dropped an album,
and I just Real Friends has always been a band
that I love and go to. I thought it was
a really solid album. It didn't crack my top ten.
I actually have a couple of surprises in my top
ten for anybody who might know me to be like, what, all.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Right, let's get in the top ten number ten? Man,
what do you got? All right?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Here's your first big surprise? Everybody. Kendrick Lamar GNX is
my number ten album. I am such a massive Kendrick
Lamar fan. His lyrics are just really raw, I guess
to me. You know, his beats flow really nicely. Something
out it just gets me hyped up. It's Jim music.
It's if I'm feeling particularly, you know, in a mood
(27:07):
that day, I throw on some Kendrick and I just
vibe and I get work done. So I'm a big fan.
I think lyrically he does a lot of really cool stuff.
And granted now everybody knows his big beef. The fact
that he released a disc track and it's up for
Grammys and stuff just speaks to his ability as a
writer and lyricist too, which I think is hilarious. So
(27:28):
that that's my number ten right there.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Man.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Weirdly enough, my number ten is the artist that is
touring with Kendrick this year, and it's Sizza with It's
technically a deluxe edition of SOS, but it's called Lana,
but it's fifteen new songs. It's a new album.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
You know, it counts as a new album my book.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And it's amazing. It's it's so great. It was so
funny because it's like I was kind of Sam loves
like obsessed. Yeah, so I've listened to it just mostly
because she listens to it so much. But I was like,
I gave her hard time. I was like, it's not
really a new album. It's a deluxe edition. Like I said,
it's not just two new songs and some demos. It's
it's literally a whole new album added on to this
(28:09):
and then you listen to it and it goes right
into SOS.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
It's that's her new album. In my book, Carrie also
really listens to siss a lot, so I've I've listened
to a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So she's also in a new movie with Keiki Palmer
that's out right now and it's doing insanely well. It's
like an R rated Buddy Cop.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, And the word on the street is that it's
going to be number one this weekend, which is massive.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
A lot people are praising Scissor for he performance, so
that love that. That's pretty cool. My number nine might
be also a surprise, but it's a Sabrina Carpenter short
and sweet.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
She made my list. That was my other surprise.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
She made my list.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I'm not gonna tell you where, but she made my list. Yes,
that is the other surprise right there. She made my list.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It just became an album that Sam would put on
our driving and I'm like, this album is so fucking care.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Sabrina vibe is catchy and fun and she doesn't take
herself seriously. And I guess if I had one more
honorable mention, it would be The Tortured Poets Department, which
was a decent album. It wasn't Taylor's best album, but
I feel like to a degree, maybe I'll get flamed.
Taylor kind of takes herself too seriously. With Sabrina, just
(29:25):
her shows are just fun and she puts on such
a hell of a show. And I even watched her
Netflix Christmas special which was just fun. It's the most
way I can describe her in her music is fun.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, yeah, is awesome, Like I fucking I love it
so much. And it always blows my mind that she
was in the Girl Meets World.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Ye like the Disney she hear and everybody you know
she started a Disney and now here she is out
there and it's fun. Man, It's it's awesome to kind
of see people grow and how they start somewhere and
grow on because how many Disney you know, people have
started albums and careers and you never hear from them again.
But like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina and Carpenter are both
(30:08):
out there doing their thing and they started at Disney,
and good for them man finding their own image in
their own way.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, it's it's very, very, very sick. Would you have
a number nine?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Honestly, dude, this is a band everybody should know very
well because it features it's basically every time I die,
but not so it's better lovers. I got there. Highly
irresponsible is my number nine. I just love their rhythmic guitars.
I love their vibe. The energy that they bring to
every song is still there. I'm glad that those members
(30:40):
are carrying on and they're doing a lot of cool
things with their sound, their high energy. I would love
to see them live. I believe you went to the
when they're up there recently over Christmas or December, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yes, yes, yes, they are my number seven. Here you go.
I also had better lovers than the list. Yeah we well,
Sam and I actually covered their first show ever, which
was two shows in a row, they played two shows
at a smaller venue in Buffalo, and now a year
and a half after being a band, they sold three
thousand tickets for their hometown show, Insane Blissmiths, which took
(31:12):
over to the season after Every Time I Die Died,
and yesterday, as we're recording this, it was like the
three anniversary of Every Time Die breaking up, which is yes,
it was, yes it was, but yeah, I totally agreed.
I love this band. The addition of will Putney and
Greg to the rest of the every Time I Died
dudes is an addition that makes it feel like every
(31:33):
Time I Die, but it doesn't feel like it's copying
every Time I exactly, because this album is like half
of like a rock album, which I didn't expect, but
listening to it first, I was like, oh, whoa, I
was not expecting this, but fuck yeah, this is super sick.
And seeing them do a headline performance like they pulled
off at Blissmiths was electric and amazing and so cool
(31:55):
to see because I always had to special place to
place in my heart for every Time I Died, because,
for one, they're incredible, but they're an upstate New York band. Yeah,
so I was like, it's so sick that this band
has been like championing up state New York for their
entire career and now we have better lovers doing the
same thing, and it's awesome. They obviously love Buffalo so
so much, and the fact that they can pull a
(32:17):
thing like this together, and like I said, it's I
think it's the second year they did it, and it
was the first year they did it at this venue,
Buffalo River Works, which is a huge, beautiful venue. I mean,
the lineup was incredible, dying wish play, twitching tongues, learned, anxious.
It was an amazing show. There's an amazing photo gallery
that Sam shot of the show on the Milkwarer's website
(32:40):
if you haven't checked that out. Hell yeah, my number
eight is no cure. I hope I die here. This
band is awesome. It's full of a bunch of friends,
but that doesn't deter from the fact that they're just
an incredible band. They're currently fucking murdering right now. They're
in Europe right now with Suit Your Guns and by
Snatcher Well deserved. They're doing a tour with Throwne in
(33:02):
the US in the spring. That's selling insanely well. I
think it's only going to be up and up from
here because this new album fucking crushes album yet and
you should definitely listen to it. It's great. The first song,
the opening track, has a guest spot from Daniel from Gideon.
It's oh, yeah, there we go. Yeah, this band's fucking awesome.
(33:22):
I love No Cure and they're straight edge, so that's
extra points from dude.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
My number eight is a complete opposite end of the spectrum.
I got neck deep with their self titled that they
came out with last year. Okay, I have them there
because I feel as though they were their last album
or two. They were kind of trying to recapture the
magic that they had a while ago, and you know,
with like December and things like that. But I feel
(33:46):
as though now they've kind of refound that, they refound
their groove, they refound their magic, and really I think
I love to see the success that they have. They're
they're putting on a lot of good shows. I think
they're out in Europe right now. I think they just
did like a small little America run not too long ago.
I think of the fall that I wish I could
(34:06):
have gone to because they put on a really good show.
But they they found their their sound that they want again.
Their riffs are really radu lyrically. I feel like they
stepped up a little bit more as well, and so
easily easily my number eight because.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I just I love those dudes. I weirdly didn't check
out that out. But I not that I don't like Necktie.
I've just never been a massive fan of Necktep. They
come on, I'm like, yeah, this is great, and I
think some of the singles I thought were really good,
but I didn't listen to the full album, right, I'm
sure it's great. I totally have favorite solid that's they're
(34:41):
They're a good band again. My number seven was better
Lovers was highly irresponsible. What was your number seven, dude?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I went Alpha Wolf, Half Living Things.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Oh okay, Friends of the Show.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Yeah, Australian band. I just every time I listen to them,
I'm ready to drop kick a s a child through
a target window because god damn, they just get me
so hyped up. So they're just raw and angry and
they just go out there and they shred. I want
to see them live so bad. I have not seen
(35:15):
them live yet they just their riffs are just gnarly.
Their vocals and lyrics again, they're just perfect out there
and really bring energy and they energize as soon as
I throw them on, man, a jolt of electricity leaps
through me and I'm ready to rage.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, band rocks band is so sick. I don't have
them on my list, but I do thoroughly enjoy that band.
I think they're they're very, very dope. Yeah. My number
six is speed one Mode, the hardcore band from Australia,
which actually Sam put me onto them first, and I
was like, oh yeah cool. And then and then finally
(35:52):
I started getting pr emails about them, and then and
then that really like woke me up and being like,
oh wow, you were right, this band is fucking insane.
Me onto them actually fuck yeah good. I've been trying
to carry on the torture.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yeah, I remember you texting me about them, like, dude,
you got to check this band out, and I did,
and I was like, holy shit, you're one hundred percent right.
First of all, anytime you hit me with the band recommendation,
I know it's probably gonna rip because our tastes are
pretty close. But yeah, dude, they're dope.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I mean they're obviously known now as the band with
the flute breakdown. Yes, they do live, which is awesome.
I got to see them twice in Boston last summer,
which was cool. They played the I Have Heart Hometown
show and then they played a matinee show the day
after that. Sam and I both went to Sam got
(36:39):
to shoot the matinee show, which was very very sick.
Bandits so sick. It's so dope that they put out
this album as they were touring with Knock Loose, and
I think that was the perfect recipe to have them
blow up and now be and now be like a
headlining band themselves. Like they did a headline run and
sold out a lot of the dates, like in the
band's only you know, they've only started their journey for
what they can do. So and it was so cool
(37:01):
to see them play a show like half Heart. It
was like three thousand people sold out, you know, or
how people it was and see how grateful they were.
They're like, we're just a bunch of juws from Australia
who played play hardcore music. We never thought we'd be
doing anything like this. For one shout out, Knock Louise
for taking out a band like that, and I think
that's what bands should be doing. That band is so
(37:23):
important to what they're doing because they are getting mainstream
attention and then they're giving that attention to other bands
that are deserved of it. And I think more bands
need to do that, and it needs to be less
managers and booking agents jerking each other off and more
of trying to build future headliners. Would you have a
number six?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Honestly, man? And it's a shame because as soon as
I say this name, you're gonna know. Over the past
few days there has been some things. But Cudigra from
Cuspace Cowboy I thought they finally were breaking through with
that album. They've been good. I've always really enjoyed them,
but Cudigra, really I thought was their moment to burst
(38:04):
into a bigger scene. I don't really want to touch
what's going on over the last couple of days, but
just we nobody really knows. Like Connie has said, I'm out,
there's been the whole Dance Gavin Dance thing, which whatever
your feelings are, and then there's a certain individual out
there in the scene that is just making things worse.
And I'll leave it at that because I don't feel
(38:25):
like getting called slurs and things like that from their
fan base. But yea, yeah, it's unfortunate. This is their
big moment and then there's backlash in one form of
another for reasons, and we don't always have the full
story of what's going on. And so now this band
who was poised for so much success, who knows what's happened.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, I don't think they're going to be a band anymore.
I had that at number three. I had the pleasure
to interview Connie about their approach to writing the album
and crafting the album, and even like the art work
behind what went into making the album as well. The
way they handled making this album and every facet was
(39:07):
so inspirational and beautiful. This album is like a it's
it's like a it's like a comic, you know, it's
it's a put together and the way it flows I
talk about all time, like a lot of bands don't
write albums that are albums anymore. They write a collection
of songs and it's fine. This is a fucking album.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It flows from start to end. It has a story,
and that's why I'm like, oh shit, they're about to hit.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Big, and it was based on like Frank Millerson City
neo noir type like comics that was like that was
her inspiration for it, which I think is so fucking sick.
It's so rad and it was. It was an incredible album.
Like I said, I had a number three, so I
super super loved this album and I am bummed by
(39:51):
the circumstances that are happening now running into our top five.
I have counterparts, Heaven let them die. They're surprise EP
that they just dropped onto the world, which I didn't think.
I was hoping they were released a new album this year,
because you know the two year album cycles kind of
the thing. But then they released a live album and
I'm like, well, we're not gonna get a new music
and then bam, one day, surprised nobody knew.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
It was coming. It just showed up and I was like,
it's my number two. Spoiler, that's my number two. I
e fing love the second. It's heavy, it's almost like
end but yes, it's counterparts and it's just start to fit.
The breakdowns. Dude are so filthy in this album that
(40:35):
again I'm ready to throw hands. Oh my It's honestly
an album that's really been on repeat for me lately
a lot, just for how good it is.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
It's incredible. It's such a dope EP, and yeah, like
you said, it shows not that counter Parts hasn't been heavy,
but this show's a heavier side to the dand dialed
it up a notch.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Oh yeah, for sure. And I love seeing because what
Brendan does in Counterparts and End are very distinctly different vocally,
and he brings some of that end stuff into this,
which I really like to adds this new flare to
the band. It still sounds like Counterparts, but again, like
you said, it's like turn up to eleven a little bit.
It's still got those leads, it still has those cool
(41:15):
chord progressions, it still has those like really weird time signatures,
like the band fucking rocks. The band can do no wrong,
but it's cool to see this kind of they die
to them and I'm excited to hear a new full
length when that eventually comes, whether it be next year
or the year after. Would you have number five?
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Honestly, man, I had the story so far. I want
to disappear at number five. One thing I love about
this band is just how everybody's so focused on how
Parker stands on stage, in his stage presence. Between this
and no Pressure, no pressure, he does not stand.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Yeah, he's full of life.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
But with this, everybody and I it's a shtick at
this point. I truly feel that. But I feel as
though this sounds more like They're you know, Rome and
things like that. They kind of take it back to
their first albums with the lyrics and the harshness to
his vocals and the kind of angsty angriness that Parker
(42:11):
brings to his vocals. Meanwhile, they're you know, guitars and
the drum. Everything just kind of blends together. And I
feel like this also kind of tells a story throughout
the album as well. Had such a good album in
my opinion, I really really enjoyed this album.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah, it's a good album. It didn't make my list,
but I think it was the first start so of
our album. I wasn't kind of like obsessed with, and
by obsessed, I mean would constantly keep playing it. But
it seems a lot of people love this album. I
really like the singles, but as an entire thing, like
it didn't It just didn't have Me coming Back. I
don't know why that's fair. My number four is Casey
(42:47):
How to Disappear, which we reviewed album on our YouTube
channel last January, so almost I.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Was honestly, I forgot about that album until now because
for some reason I thought it was twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Damn yeah, it came up right in the beginning of
the year.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
I hate these January releases because it was such a
good album.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
It's hard. Yeah, it's an incredible ALP. I love this band.
I'm glad they got back together, and I hope I
get to see them live eventually. Maybe we'll see. But
I'm happy they're released the music because it's still very
very good. It's also it's kind of hard to revisit
sometimes because it is pretty depressing. It is so it
is that it's very depressing album. Yes, yes, so that
(43:27):
makes a little hard, but it's still very very good.
Do you have it?
Speaker 3 (43:31):
I got four years strong with Analysis Paralysis. I hate
They're like my favorite pop punk band of all time.
It's like one A, one B with them in wonder
years and so I really liked what they did with
this album. It they would get you upped up to
the top. To the climax, and then they would kind
of dial it back a little bit and change the
sound and flow slightly, which worked, and they still have
(43:53):
the little bit of the harshness to them and that
edge to them. I thought, I really love Bad Habit.
That one is my favor favorite on that album. But
those dudes, man, I just love what they put out.
I love what they're all about. They're a band that
I honestly surprised has never gotten bigger than they are.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
And so I'm hoping I think it's changing now.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
I do.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
I definitely agree that I think they're changing because this
is a band that, you know, forever, this should have
been one of the biggest bands in the scene, and
I think they're finally going to start getting that recognition
that they're deservedly should be getting.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yeah, one hundred percent, this album's my number one. I've
been obsessed with album since I got since I've got
to hear it. I got to interview Dan on the podcast,
which is an absolute pleasure because I've been listening to
this band since I was seventeen years old.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Yeah, I grew up listening to them when they're a
local band.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Dude, Yeah, exactly. I saw them on the Riser Dye
Trying release tour, and it's such a weird things. I've
been talking about this album so much with so many people,
and I think it might be my favorite forty strong
album if I can let go of the nostalgia of
a Raiserdye Trying, which is right, Okay, So.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
That's that's a good point. You bring nostalgia, right, because
that's why it's my favorite, is I they did? I
just love that album. But if I take off the
glasses for a minute, I would say that, yeah, the
way that they've grown and progressed, this album might be
their most complete album and probably their best just And.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
It's crazy because if you hear the stories of how
they wrote this album, they basically had nothing written when
they went in the studios and they just this album
just came out, which is fucking insane because I think
it's easily their best written album. And it's crazy because
you see so many bands and they try to recapture
the magic magic of like Est, like a lot of
(45:40):
the bands we listen to when your teenagers are bands
again or still bands one or one or the other
and putting out new music and touring and all that stuff,
and they're kind of trying to recapture the magic they
did well just so hot right now when they first
broke out. And I don't think a lot of bands
do that successfully. But I think what this band does
is they've evolved and they've become This still sounds like
for you strong, but it's it's totally different. If you
(46:03):
really like break down, how it's written, everything like that,
it's it's it's so yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. Dude,
seeing them live and I've been seeing them live for
almost twenty years.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
I've seen them so long, so many times.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Yeah, and I think they're the best they've ever been.
And they're like in their forties.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
They're just dudes. Man, they're having fun. You can really
see it too their stage president. Yeah, they're just having fun.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Can't see what they do next. To be honest, I'm
so excited to hear what an album post Analysis Prowess
is going to be like, because yes, I think it's
fucking amazing. Love Love is so much again. My number
three was cou de Crass by C Space Cowboy, What
is your number three?
Speaker 3 (46:45):
This one was Sabrina Carpenter Short and sweet Man, We've
really up there. Yeah, I love this album. Okay, I
know it gets me in a good mood. I probably
shouldn't let her listen to half the music I do.
But my daughter is a big fan of a Carpenter, and.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Like Taylor, carp is not really for kids.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
I know.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
I know some people on Facebook are super confused by this.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
I'm not going to take her to a sprint of
Carpenter's show mind You, But for a six year old,
I can listen to some censored versions or you know,
if she has questions, I'll just be like, oh, it's
an adult thing.
Speaker 5 (47:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
There's some of that has come up, especially with my
nine year old. There some of that has some of
those questions have begun to get raised, and I'm just like,
nobody prepared me for this as a parent. I still
feel like I am twenty years old. My number two
we've alreay, I've already talked about your number two is counterparts.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
My number one is very strong. So I think my
number two and your number one are the same.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
It's not to lose man. Yeah, yeah, okay, we'll.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
We're supposed to. Obviously, I've talked about this last time
in the podcast. I have a storied past with not Loose,
not like we're best friends or anything, but I've played
with them in a garage in Anneapolis and they played
a few of ghost Ship's final shows at the time,
and even then I was like, you guys are going
to be massive, and they're like, oh no, you know,
nothing like that's gonna happen. Look at them now.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
They played Jimmy Kimple this year and headlining what was it, Lollapalooza,
or you know, playing massive shows at Lollapalooza, which is
not we have a hardcore presence and Coachella and mainstream
Jimmy Kimmel if you will, and everybody knows knock Loose
and a lot of people weren't ready for what knock
(48:20):
Loose was going to bring. And to see the while
keeping the core of who they are as a band
and who they are as a sound as they're finding
this success and breaking barriers down. It is so fucking
rad to see the hardcore scene really get its comeuppance
and Brian and his just presence and angriness that he brings.
(48:45):
I loved that. You know, Slaughterhouse two is a continuation
because I love Slaughterhouse one with Motionless, I thought that
was awesome, but I mean Suffocate such a good song too,
and just the grunginess of their guitars and their breakdowns,
and this is a band that just I'm so glad
that they're the band that's breaking down these barriers and
is getting their dues.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
It is so dope me too, because there's so many
bands I've kind of we've seen it a lot, from
like the Warped Tour days to now a bunch of
medical core bands becoming like more radio.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
And kind of mother Rises a prime example.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
Bands like wage War and even like Miss may I
at a certain point kind of weird like mainstream kind
of thing, but not Loose is like the heaviest one
to do that, you know, and they they only get heavier.
It's not like they're like, oh, we're getting bigger, we
should become more commercial. They're like, no, we're gonna get
(49:43):
heavier and we're gonna, you know, be on Jimmy Kimmel
and be direct support to Slipknot and everything like that.
It's and it's so cool. I agree with you one
hundred percent because it's so cool to see a band
that's irrevocably fucking, disgustingly heavy. And yes they're the one
that's getting all the sh on them. I think that's
so cool. A similar things kind of happened with Lorna
Shore in a way. Uh they're selling out insanely big venues.
(50:09):
Uh yeah, they're only continuing to do so. And they're
a fucking death core band, you know, And that's crazy.
And it's so cool to see just straight up heavy
music becoming a mainstream thing. I know some people don't
like it, but I don't give a fuck. I think
it's cool.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
I think it's yeah, I don't care. I think one
big thing too, is something especially with like will Ramos, right,
is people are appreciating the things that these vocalists and
these genres can do with their voices, which is not
something people have really ever focused on before in the past.
They just immediately discredit. He's how can you understand what
(50:44):
they're saying? And it's they're finally getting some just recognition.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Last year was a really good year for music, and
this year is I've already started off with watch this
is Architects Back. I think Architects is back, Architects back,
Babies Yeah. The new Shoot Your Ounds album is an
early Album of the Year contender already. Yeah, a few
weeks into the year. There's a lot of good ship
coming out this year. So I'm gonna be a big
(51:10):
new Sleep Token Sleep.
Speaker 3 (51:11):
Token Underl's gonna be dropping a new album which I
have some of their singles I've actually really enjoyed. I
know you might not feel that way, but I think
I think I'm for better or worse. I think there's
there's been something there. Architects is getting ready in February
to drop a new album.
Speaker 7 (51:26):
Pale Face Swiss. You dropped a new album that's really
really solid. Yeah, it's gonna be tours coming to oh

I just drove through it like over Thanksgiving going back home,

same as it was every time I come through here.
Not a single thing has changed.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yep. So make sure you go sport sync with me.
I know they got new music coming out, more shows, tours,
stuff like that, so go support them. I believe a
few of them are on the Facebook group and they're
really dope. Dude. A trailer we've been waiting for for
it seems like forever. Daredevil Born Again trailer dropped this
week finally, and boy was it worth the wait. I
love how they framed this trailer with a conversation between
(06:23):
Matt Murdoch and Wilson Fis. I thought that was beautiful
with teasing this new continued story and introducing some new
characters to the world and finally cementing Daredevil's place within
the MCU. Obviously, Matt Murdoch, Daredevil, and Kingpin have made
their debuts in the MCU, but to have this, you know,
(06:45):
basically season four, Daredevil Born Again is a very literal
name in the sense of what it's doing for this series,
and I'm just so over the moon and stoked. I
just started rewatching their original series. I'm almost for season
one just because I'm so hyped and i want to
be refreshed and caught back up because it's been a
(07:06):
minute since that came out. We were talking, we're recording,
like we're seeing people in the air, and I'm like, yeah,
we were in high school and the dar Devil series
came out, which hurts. Yeah, but with it, Well, Matt,
would you think of this trailer, dude?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I mean, first of all, right, we've been talking about
this show for what two years or something. They've been
talking about it. First it was eighteen episodes and then
they cut it down and now I guess this is
Part one, and then we saw Daredevil last in she Hulk,
where he was like this happy, go lucky, yeah kind
of guy. But now, man, when they open up this trailer,
it's the last time we saw Kingpin and Matt together.
(07:41):
Was Matt essentially screaming in his face that he beat
him after he just punched his face out, and now
here they are. He's like, you're doing pretty well for yourself.
You know, you're a lawyer, You're focused on that. And
then Matt was like, I could say the same to you, Mayor,
and you know, he's the mayor of New York City
right now, which maybe at a certain time we would
have been like, no way. But but it's interesting to
(08:01):
see how they're gonna spin Kingpin taking over New York City,
which I think is awesome and it really brings the
MCU back to some grassroots almost. I'm ready to get
back down to ground level things, just to kind of
take that step back and see what they've been doing,
because apparently Matt hasn't been Daredevil for a little bit,
which is interesting because again, the last time we saw
him he was in Daredevil Garb in she Hulk, and
(08:24):
so now he kind of hung it up, focused on
his law firm. We get Foggy, we get Karen, we
even get Frank Bullseye makes an appearance, and then we
got a couple of other characters like Mews and White Tigers.
So there's a lot there. And dude, I feel like
they made a point to really show us like the
Saints you Mom's Disney Plus, because every chance they showed
it was somebody's bones being snapped in half and protruding
(08:47):
out of the skin, and you're just like, oh, oh, lowered.
It was great.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, it's awesome. I love that it has the same tone,
It has the same vibe as the Netflix series, and
I know that both of them have. Vincent Andofrio and
Charlie Cox have said that they go some places they
didn't go in the Netli series, which is kind of
crazy because the dude impales himself in like episode six
or something like I just watched The Head with a
(09:13):
Door that too, So there's some pretty brutal shit in
that series. But with the inclusion of Muse, Muse is
a fucking psychopath and art victims. Yeah, yeah, he makes
our Robbs victims. Like one of the first paintings you
see that he does in the comics. He does with
the blood of one hundred people like this dude is
(09:35):
a full blown psychopath. I just wrote two articles for
this for Clydeer. One was explaining Muse's comic background and
how they could utilize him in the series, and then
one with White Tiger. A White Tiger background is pretty nuts.
There's some a couple of versions of the White Tiger
that are pretty off the wall. Yeah, and then there's
the Ila family that are connected and they all kind
(09:56):
of it's like a lineage kind of thing, which I
think they'll probably do something with the MCU because the
actor who played White Tiger in this series unfortunately passed
last year.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That's right, I completely forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And it's a pretty tragic character in the comics and
does end up dying and getting accused for murder when
he didn't do the murder and stuff like that. But
in the trailer we also see him throw a guy
in front of a train, so we'll see this ursion
might be a little different in some liberties, if you will.
I'm hoping Frank Castle, because he looks like he's been
through some shit, all right, I'm hoping he like survived
(10:27):
the blip, we get some backstory of like what the
fuck he's been up to for life.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I could actually say that because one of my theory,
because there's been rumors that they're talking about a Punisher
show coming, I actually I almost want them to have
him survive that, and then I want him to kind
of be like that Ronan. You know how Ronan during
the five years was out there taking down kingpins, if
you will, And so I kind of hope Frank Castle's
delivering that street justice and that's what his show kind
(10:53):
of is, maybe catching us up over that five year
time span, and then his first season maybe ends where
Daredevil picks up. I get to be kind of like Daredevil,
and then it's kind of a flashback. But I think
that could work, especially in this character of Frank Castle
kind of showing some of the street level justice that
he was maybe doing or maybe because I don't really
believe that he would have retired or quit, but you know,
(11:15):
who knows, retirement's so hot right now in the MCU.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It would be kind of cool if they did, if
they took like an arrow approach where they showed flashbacks
but weaved it in with what's currently happening. That would
serve a cool purpose where it like fills in some
gaps but also pushes the story forward. I mean, Creature
Commandos did that too, I mean differently because it was
kind of showing the origins of these new characters as
it came in. But I feel like that format would
be really cool, and I don't think it's something that
(11:39):
the MCS really done. Haven't.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Actually, they've always alluded to, like the you know with
WandaVision they kind of showed yeah, they kind of like
a loose to the guy. They showed Elena's, but it
was like a scene they really didn't give us, which
I'm kind of surprised that they just kind of blew
past and breeze pasted it very quickly, especially in the timeframe.
(12:03):
Whether it really hasn't been a whole lot building towards
something there has If there hasn't, right, I feel like
they've missed a big opportunity to really showcase the world
in the world building they could have done during that
five year timespan. So who knows, Maybe they will go back.
I kind of hope they do, but I'm pumped for
Frank Castle. It's really if you're not familiar with Bullseye.
Like this character of Bullseye from this universe in particular,
(12:26):
he's a psychopath in his own right. If you haven't
seen him, I very much. Yeah, I recommend going and
watching Daredevil season three and refreshing your memory because the
dude is a psychopath. This ain't Colin Ferrell's touching his forehead,
you know, tongue in cheek. The Bullseye is. This guy
is nuts. And that's what I'm really excited for. They're
(12:46):
They're really going to go balls to the wall with this,
I think, and I could not be happier to see
what's happening here. And it's also cool because I thought
that at one point they were saying how the actress
who played Vanessa wasn't coming back, but she is back now,
and I'm really excited for that. It's all the continuity
pieces that are coming back from Netflix. It's it's a
continuation which a lot of people were worried about too.
(13:07):
Is oh or they just kind of basically wash Netflix's
series away, But no, they make call the callbacks all
the characters. I think that's one thing that I'm really
on board. I love some continuity and that's just has
me even more hyped.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Brad Wonderbaum, who's like a producer for a big producer
for Marvel Studios, has like he confirmed, He's like, yeah,
all those series are cannon.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I do think they'll probably take some things and change
them loosely, oh for sure. But I don't think it'll
be like obviously, they're carrying the main pieces, so they
don't have to redo anything like show Matt's origin or
anything like that. They don't have to redo a bunch
of stuff. But I think I still think it's going
to be like a story you can kind of jump
into and be able to watch it and not be
confused at all, which is cool too. And I am
(13:50):
so stoked because it seems like they are following pretty closely,
or at least, you know, as close as the MCU
does to the comics with Kingpin running for Mayor, and
it seems like his platform is definitely gonna be an
anti vigilante thing, and that's fits right in tone with
what the mc has been going on, like what we
saw in Spider Man Knowing Home, what we saw in
Miss Marvel with the DODC and stuff like that. Like
(14:11):
I wonder if he's gonna work hand in hand with
the do DC and kind of try and put a
stop to vigilanteism in New York City at least. Yeah,
And I'm interested to see Matt Murdoch and Daredevil deal
with that, because he has to deal with that in
both cases. And it's it's cool. We've already established that
he is a you know, like a prominent lawyer in
the kind of superhero world. You know, he represented Peter
(14:34):
Parker and then we saw him and she Hulk doing
the lawyer thing again. So it's cool that they set
up these like little building blocks that could have seemed
inconsequential at first, but they really are kind of leading
in new people into like who this guy is. And
I think that's so dope, and I'm praying that eventually
we get to see, you know, Daredevil and Spider Man
(14:54):
team up and Spider Man faced off versus this version
of Kingpin, Like it's gotta happen. It's gotta I mean,
they kind of they it's like they're toying with the idea,
right because they've mentioned this a little bit. Oh, Spider
Man four is going to take him back to just
in the city area, and things of that nature.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
They know each other, they're kind of toying it. I
feel like it would be a very big miss opportunity
if they didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm very interested to see what the line he crossed
is and that shot of the Dareduble mass falling with
the horn missing and the d is and then they open.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Up and you've got like it's it's Iron Man, but
it's his four different masks and suits. I'd love a
good suit change. Like what am I feeling to Am
I gonna go gold? Am I gonna go No? I
don't know, man, my personality.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, but March fourth, Darreed o'lborn Agan's hitting our TV
screens and I cannot fucking wait. And I'm so so
as speaking of some more Disney plus stuff, Skeleton Crew
just wrapped up the nice Goonies esque Star Wars series
helmed by John Watts Yes and starring of the incomparable
Jude Law. This series is so fun. Like made a
(16:04):
post saying like, oh, what everyone feel about the finale
and someone commented like, oh, I tuned out because it
didn't feel like Star Wars, And I was like, bro,
I was like, this is the most Star Wars feeling
thing I just legit has ever released. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'm going to make a bold claim right now, and
I know there might be some people who maybe if
they're watching or listening, they're going to throw something. But this,
honest to god, is my favorite Star Wars TV show
that they have ever released. I am confident in saying that.
My big thing was I was feeling that way and
then I was like, but will they stick the landing?
(16:38):
And to me, they did a lot of things that
stuck the landing and also planted seeds, and it was,
without a doubt my favorite Star Now.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I love and Or.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Do not get me wrong, I am a big, big
and Or fan, but there's a lot of things with
this show that really captured the Star Wars spirits two phases.
So it captured that childlike wonder that Star Wars introduced
to us. I remember as a kid first watching Star Wars,
You're thinking, Wow, lightsabers, wow space, battle space, going on adventures.
(17:12):
That's awesome. And you captured that with the kids, Whim
and Neil and Fern, they all kind of captured that
child like wonder. You have Whim and Neil pretending to
lightsaber battle with each other. You know, they look up
to the Jedi.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
You're supposed to be a Jedi.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You're not a Jedi. And then you also have that
the reality is the Empire takes over, right, They're not
good people and everything is not so black and white
in the universe, in the Star Wars universe, and there's
a lot of dark, serious undertones. And you get that
with John, who is just a guy who was picked
up by a Jedi post Order sixty six and then
(17:47):
watched as inquisitors came and killed her in front of him,
and now he's just trying to make his way in life.
You could tell he's not fully a bad guy. He
didn't want to hurt the kids that you could see
a lot of that in him. He just wanted to
make his way in the galaxy man. And so you
combine those two things, it's wonder it's a venture. It's
(18:08):
beautiful cinematography. It's beautiful, like the ships, the way they moved,
and the planets and the species we got to see.
All of that combined really really made this hit for
me in the in the Star Wars aspect, and it
even got my son, who's nine years old he did.
He's always been I don't like Star Wars. I don't
like Star Wars. He watched Skeleton Crew in its entirety,
(18:29):
and now he loved it so that it did that
for him and he took something different from it, whereas
and Or is not something he's gonna watch and understand.
But it really opened it up in a long winded way.
So I definitely think it's my favorite Star Wars show
that they've put out. I mean, you also have that
like sentimental attachment to him, so that makes sense. And
I mean, I think it's one of the best Disney
(18:51):
plus Star Wars series. I mean, I don't think anything
in Star Wars is as well written as and Or,
like period, anything in Star Wars like that's the most
that's the best forrit in Star Wars thing to ever
come back. That's absolutely fair.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It was like an HBO show and just happens to
be a Star Wars show. I mean, Mando season one
holds a very special place in my heart. I love
the series too, It's great. And I like what you
said about John because it's even though he's the villain
of the series quote unquote.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
He's bad guy, but does he bad guy exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And I like that he's complicated. But he also didn't
get redeemed, which is a big Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yes, everybody hits redeemed. They've redeemed Darth Vader. They redeem
Kylo Wren, who in my opinion, should not have been redeemed.
That would have made it way more better. And so
the fact that they didn't redeem him, but he also
gives Whim this look of I'm so damn proud of
you right now before he discovers it's like, oh man,
that's what made him such a good character. Is He
(19:50):
even said, I don't want to hurt any of you.
I just want money, man, Why can't you guys like,
let me get the money and go?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And tragic to see him try and fill that void
in his life with money, and it's it's a void
that'll never be filled. But and I think he might
have realized that by the end of this. But what
a cool layered character to do. In that final shot
with Whim looking up at the New Republic ships, I
(20:16):
was like that Star Wars right there, baby, Yes, it
fills you.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It ends with hope, because even in an empire strikes back,
right they just lost. Luke has no hand. He just
found out this space Hitler is his dad. And there
he is at the end with that hopeful music as
they look out into the stars, him and Leya give
it ends you with hope. And that's what this kind
of does, right, I mean, the good guys didn't lose
their planet. Their planet's kind of exposed, which I thought
(20:42):
was a really something really cool, Okay, is I would
love to dig a little deeper into that. How they
managed to hide their planet and preserve everything from the Empire,
which I thought was.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
One hundreds of year.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, it was a really cool concept. For hundreds like
forty years during the entire run of the Empire, they
basically hid their planet, which I thought was super cool.
That's something more I want to explore because I think
that opens up the opportunity for their if we're going
to go back into rebuilding the Jedi. I feel like
there's something that you can really do there, and that's
(21:15):
a seed that might pay off later. But yeah, man,
just like looking up there that childlike wonder of hope,
and I would like to see I both want whim
to end up being a Jedi, but I also would
love to follow him and get a top Gun style
series of him being a pilot and going through New
Republic Pilot training in school and becoming this New Republic
(21:38):
pilot that pays off down the road as well. I
think that would be pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I saw someone post and they're like, what if this
show was actually like a backdoor pilot into a revamped
version of The Ranger of the New Republic and it
actually just has the kids in it?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Because how good were the kids?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Man?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Those kids actors, all four of them, bow take a
bow because they acted their asses off. They the emotions
they portrayed. It was Neil was just I love him
and Neil the actor who played Neil. You might have
seen him. He was in that movie Dear Santa with
Jack Black recently where he accidentally writes a letter to Santa,
(22:19):
but he's dyslexic, so it goes to Satan and it
was a funny movie. But that's the actor, so he's
on the come up. And then I really loved Fern
had a lot of Leah in her. I felt I
would love to follow her as well, because where we're
gonna eventually pick up, hopefully in a new trilogy, These
all these kids, they're going to be adults by then, right,
(22:40):
Like this is this takes place not long after the
fall of the Empire. In between that we're in that
time frame before the Force Awakens and return of the Jedi.
So I would love to see their characters later because Leah,
she's That's what she reminded me of a lot there.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Was, Leah. Yeah. The thing that's cool is that we
know it takes place during the Mandalorian Verse time, but
we don't know exactly how far into it or how
close it to that, because even the time and that
stuff is pretty ambiguous and not really locked down. If
they bring them back and they they're aged up, because
we know as we watch Stranger Things, we know kids
(23:19):
age very quickly. There's been big rumors of them being
included in Dave Filoni's movie, which will be the movie
after The Manlorian Grogu that comes out in twenty twenty six,
So that'd be cool to see him come back in that.
Like maybe they'll show up in Ahsoka season two. I
have no idea, like we'll see or if they get
a season two, I'd be very stoked. I know the
(23:39):
viewership is kind of fine, but the word of mouth
and the reaction to has been very, very positive.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I've seen nothing but positive things about this show, and
you're right the viewership, which is why they claim the
Actite got canceled. It was the viewership. This kind of
revitalizes because Star Wars has been kind of aimless lately
as well. Outside of me, Laurien, how many movies have
been announced that you just never see or hear from
your squadron, And there's just like ten movies, so they're
(24:09):
kind of like wandering aimlessly, throwing darts maybe at the board.
But I feel like this is the besides and Or,
which we know how that ends because Rogue one and
then goes into so we already know how that ends.
Whereas this one, you want to see what happens to Jod.
He's what's happening with him?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Now?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Okay, these kid characters in this planet at and what's
going on here. I feel like they laid a lot
of good bricks to build this road, and I feel
like now they've kind of that's a good like right there,
build off of this and expand out and really start
to build your universe again.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
So yeah, Skeleton Crew, fucking awesome. If you haven't watched it,
What are you doing? Go watch it.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
It's worth every second of your life, trust me.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, get on that shit if you haven't, If you
haven't watched it. But we're in the show with our
top ten releases of twenty twenty four, we're including EPs
in the ten. So doing a little different. We're gonna
kick it off with honorable mentions. I'm just gonna list mine.
My honorable mentions are Lincoln Park from zero, the return
(25:07):
of Lincoln Park that some people think it's controversial, but
they're selling out stadiums and sold millions of copies, so
not really controversial. One silence people watching Super Dope band
from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They're currently crushing it on a codline
towards victims right now. If that's coming near the city,
make sure you go check that out. A Little Dicky.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Penith, Oh yeah, a little do My wife loves a
Little Dicky.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Which this record is all of the songs from the
show Dave, which.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I oh yeah, she's a big fan of.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, So this album was just the best. It's you
get to hear all these full songs of songs, you
hear snippets from from the show, So I thought it
was great. And then my last honrable mention is Kublai
Khan Exhibition of Prowess, super heavy fucking album.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I was one of my honorables too.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It is great, it's good, good stuff. But Matt, what
do you got other than I?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah? I like got them, and then I wanted to
throw Real Friends in there is my only real other
honorable mention besides Lincoln Park. I'm glad to see Mike
and the crew carry on. It is taking some getting
adjusting to as it is, but I good for them.
Lincoln Park was such an influence into who I was
and shaped, you know, musically because I was really the media.
(26:22):
Or was the first album I ever bought with my
own money. So them and then Real Friends dropped an album,
and I just Real Friends has always been a band
that I love and go to. I thought it was
a really solid album. It didn't crack my top ten.
I actually have a couple of surprises in my top
ten for anybody who might know me to be like, what, all.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Right, let's get in the top ten number ten? Man,
what do you got? All right?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Here's your first big surprise? Everybody. Kendrick Lamar GNX is
my number ten album. I am such a massive Kendrick
Lamar fan. His lyrics are just really raw, I guess
to me. You know, his beats flow really nicely. Something
out it just gets me hyped up. It's Jim music.
It's if I'm feeling particularly, you know, in a mood
(27:07):
that day, I throw on some Kendrick and I just
vibe and I get work done. So I'm a big fan.
I think lyrically he does a lot of really cool stuff.
And granted now everybody knows his big beef. The fact
that he released a disc track and it's up for
Grammys and stuff just speaks to his ability as a
writer and lyricist too, which I think is hilarious. So
(27:28):
that that's my number ten right there.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Man.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Weirdly enough, my number ten is the artist that is
touring with Kendrick this year, and it's Sizza with It's
technically a deluxe edition of SOS, but it's called Lana,
but it's fifteen new songs. It's a new album.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
You know, it counts as a new album my book.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And it's amazing. It's it's so great. It was so
funny because it's like I was kind of Sam loves
like obsessed. Yeah, so I've listened to it just mostly
because she listens to it so much. But I was like,
I gave her hard time. I was like, it's not
really a new album. It's a deluxe edition. Like I said,
it's not just two new songs and some demos. It's
it's literally a whole new album added on to this
(28:09):
and then you listen to it and it goes right
into SOS.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
It's that's her new album. In my book, Carrie also
really listens to siss a lot, so I've I've listened
to a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So she's also in a new movie with Keiki Palmer
that's out right now and it's doing insanely well. It's
like an R rated Buddy Cop.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, And the word on the street is that it's
going to be number one this weekend, which is massive.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
A lot people are praising Scissor for he performance, so
that love that. That's pretty cool. My number nine might
be also a surprise, but it's a Sabrina Carpenter short
and sweet.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
She made my list. That was my other surprise.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
She made my list.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I'm not gonna tell you where, but she made my list. Yes,
that is the other surprise right there. She made my list.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It just became an album that Sam would put on
our driving and I'm like, this album is so fucking care.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Sabrina vibe is catchy and fun and she doesn't take
herself seriously. And I guess if I had one more
honorable mention, it would be The Tortured Poets Department, which
was a decent album. It wasn't Taylor's best album, but
I feel like to a degree, maybe I'll get flamed.
Taylor kind of takes herself too seriously. With Sabrina, just
(29:25):
her shows are just fun and she puts on such
a hell of a show. And I even watched her
Netflix Christmas special which was just fun. It's the most
way I can describe her in her music is fun.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, yeah, is awesome, Like I fucking I love it
so much. And it always blows my mind that she
was in the Girl Meets World.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Ye like the Disney she hear and everybody you know
she started a Disney and now here she is out
there and it's fun. Man, It's it's awesome to kind
of see people grow and how they start somewhere and
grow on because how many Disney you know, people have
started albums and careers and you never hear from them again.
But like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina and Carpenter are both
(30:08):
out there doing their thing and they started at Disney,
and good for them man finding their own image in
their own way.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, it's it's very, very, very sick. Would you have
a number nine?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Honestly, dude, this is a band everybody should know very
well because it features it's basically every time I die,
but not so it's better lovers. I got there. Highly
irresponsible is my number nine. I just love their rhythmic guitars.
I love their vibe. The energy that they bring to
every song is still there. I'm glad that those members
(30:40):
are carrying on and they're doing a lot of cool
things with their sound, their high energy. I would love
to see them live. I believe you went to the
when they're up there recently over Christmas or December, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Yes, yes, yes, they are my number seven. Here you go.
I also had better lovers than the list. Yeah we well,
Sam and I actually covered their first show ever, which
was two shows in a row, they played two shows
at a smaller venue in Buffalo, and now a year
and a half after being a band, they sold three
thousand tickets for their hometown show, Insane Blissmiths, which took
(31:12):
over to the season after Every Time I Die Died,
and yesterday, as we're recording this, it was like the
three anniversary of Every Time Die breaking up, which is yes,
it was, yes it was, but yeah, I totally agreed.
I love this band. The addition of will Putney and
Greg to the rest of the every Time I Died
dudes is an addition that makes it feel like every
(31:33):
Time I Die, but it doesn't feel like it's copying
every Time I exactly, because this album is like half
of like a rock album, which I didn't expect, but
listening to it first, I was like, oh, whoa, I
was not expecting this, but fuck yeah, this is super sick.
And seeing them do a headline performance like they pulled
off at Blissmiths was electric and amazing and so cool
(31:55):
to see because I always had to special place to
place in my heart for every Time I Died, because,
for one, they're incredible, but they're an upstate New York band. Yeah,
so I was like, it's so sick that this band
has been like championing up state New York for their
entire career and now we have better lovers doing the
same thing, and it's awesome. They obviously love Buffalo so
so much, and the fact that they can pull a
(32:17):
thing like this together, and like I said, it's I
think it's the second year they did it, and it
was the first year they did it at this venue,
Buffalo River Works, which is a huge, beautiful venue. I mean,
the lineup was incredible, dying wish play, twitching tongues, learned, anxious.
It was an amazing show. There's an amazing photo gallery
that Sam shot of the show on the Milkwarer's website
(32:40):
if you haven't checked that out. Hell yeah, my number
eight is no cure. I hope I die here. This
band is awesome. It's full of a bunch of friends,
but that doesn't deter from the fact that they're just
an incredible band. They're currently fucking murdering right now. They're
in Europe right now with Suit Your Guns and by
Snatcher Well deserved. They're doing a tour with Throwne in
(33:02):
the US in the spring. That's selling insanely well. I
think it's only going to be up and up from
here because this new album fucking crushes album yet and
you should definitely listen to it. It's great. The first song,
the opening track, has a guest spot from Daniel from Gideon.
It's oh, yeah, there we go. Yeah, this band's fucking awesome.
(33:22):
I love No Cure and they're straight edge, so that's
extra points from dude.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
My number eight is a complete opposite end of the spectrum.
I got neck deep with their self titled that they
came out with last year. Okay, I have them there
because I feel as though they were their last album
or two. They were kind of trying to recapture the
magic that they had a while ago, and you know,
with like December and things like that. But I feel
(33:46):
as though now they've kind of refound that, they refound
their groove, they refound their magic, and really I think
I love to see the success that they have. They're
they're putting on a lot of good shows. I think
they're out in Europe right now. I think they just
did like a small little America run not too long ago.
I think of the fall that I wish I could
(34:06):
have gone to because they put on a really good show.
But they they found their their sound that they want again.
Their riffs are really radu lyrically. I feel like they
stepped up a little bit more as well, and so
easily easily my number eight because.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I just I love those dudes. I weirdly didn't check
out that out. But I not that I don't like Necktie.
I've just never been a massive fan of Necktep. They
come on, I'm like, yeah, this is great, and I
think some of the singles I thought were really good,
but I didn't listen to the full album, right, I'm
sure it's great. I totally have favorite solid that's they're
(34:41):
They're a good band again. My number seven was better
Lovers was highly irresponsible. What was your number seven, dude?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I went Alpha Wolf, Half Living Things.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Oh okay, Friends of the Show.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Yeah, Australian band. I just every time I listen to them,
I'm ready to drop kick a s a child through
a target window because god damn, they just get me
so hyped up. So they're just raw and angry and
they just go out there and they shred. I want
to see them live so bad. I have not seen
(35:15):
them live yet they just their riffs are just gnarly.
Their vocals and lyrics again, they're just perfect out there
and really bring energy and they energize as soon as
I throw them on, man, a jolt of electricity leaps
through me and I'm ready to rage.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, band rocks band is so sick. I don't have
them on my list, but I do thoroughly enjoy that band.
I think they're they're very, very dope. Yeah. My number
six is speed one Mode, the hardcore band from Australia,
which actually Sam put me onto them first, and I
was like, oh yeah cool. And then and then finally
(35:52):
I started getting pr emails about them, and then and
then that really like woke me up and being like,
oh wow, you were right, this band is fucking insane.
Me onto them actually fuck yeah good. I've been trying
to carry on the torture.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yeah, I remember you texting me about them, like, dude,
you got to check this band out, and I did,
and I was like, holy shit, you're one hundred percent right.
First of all, anytime you hit me with the band recommendation,
I know it's probably gonna rip because our tastes are
pretty close. But yeah, dude, they're dope.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I mean they're obviously known now as the band with
the flute breakdown. Yes, they do live, which is awesome.
I got to see them twice in Boston last summer,
which was cool. They played the I Have Heart Hometown
show and then they played a matinee show the day
after that. Sam and I both went to Sam got
(36:39):
to shoot the matinee show, which was very very sick.
Bandits so sick. It's so dope that they put out
this album as they were touring with Knock Loose, and
I think that was the perfect recipe to have them
blow up and now be and now be like a
headlining band themselves. Like they did a headline run and
sold out a lot of the dates, like in the
band's only you know, they've only started their journey for
what they can do. So and it was so cool
(37:01):
to see them play a show like half Heart. It
was like three thousand people sold out, you know, or
how people it was and see how grateful they were.
They're like, we're just a bunch of juws from Australia
who played play hardcore music. We never thought we'd be
doing anything like this. For one shout out, Knock Louise
for taking out a band like that, and I think
that's what bands should be doing. That band is so
(37:23):
important to what they're doing because they are getting mainstream
attention and then they're giving that attention to other bands
that are deserved of it. And I think more bands
need to do that, and it needs to be less
managers and booking agents jerking each other off and more
of trying to build future headliners. Would you have a
number six?
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Honestly, man? And it's a shame because as soon as
I say this name, you're gonna know. Over the past
few days there has been some things. But Cudigra from
Cuspace Cowboy I thought they finally were breaking through with
that album. They've been good. I've always really enjoyed them,
but Cudigra, really I thought was their moment to burst
(38:04):
into a bigger scene. I don't really want to touch
what's going on over the last couple of days, but
just we nobody really knows. Like Connie has said, I'm out,
there's been the whole Dance Gavin Dance thing, which whatever
your feelings are, and then there's a certain individual out
there in the scene that is just making things worse.
And I'll leave it at that because I don't feel
(38:25):
like getting called slurs and things like that from their
fan base. But yea, yeah, it's unfortunate. This is their
big moment and then there's backlash in one form of
another for reasons, and we don't always have the full
story of what's going on. And so now this band
who was poised for so much success, who knows what's happened.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, I don't think they're going to be a band anymore.
I had that at number three. I had the pleasure
to interview Connie about their approach to writing the album
and crafting the album, and even like the art work
behind what went into making the album as well. The
way they handled making this album and every facet was
(39:07):
so inspirational and beautiful. This album is like a it's
it's like a it's like a comic, you know, it's
it's a put together and the way it flows I
talk about all time, like a lot of bands don't
write albums that are albums anymore. They write a collection
of songs and it's fine. This is a fucking album.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It flows from start to end. It has a story,
and that's why I'm like, oh shit, they're about to hit.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Big, and it was based on like Frank Millerson City
neo noir type like comics that was like that was
her inspiration for it, which I think is so fucking sick.
It's so rad and it was. It was an incredible album.
Like I said, I had a number three, so I
super super loved this album and I am bummed by
(39:51):
the circumstances that are happening now running into our top five.
I have counterparts, Heaven let them die. They're surprise EP
that they just dropped onto the world, which I didn't think.
I was hoping they were released a new album this year,
because you know the two year album cycles kind of
the thing. But then they released a live album and
I'm like, well, we're not gonna get a new music
and then bam, one day, surprised nobody knew.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
It was coming. It just showed up and I was like,
it's my number two. Spoiler, that's my number two. I
e fing love the second. It's heavy, it's almost like
end but yes, it's counterparts and it's just start to fit.
The breakdowns. Dude are so filthy in this album that
(40:35):
again I'm ready to throw hands. Oh my It's honestly
an album that's really been on repeat for me lately
a lot, just for how good it is.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
It's incredible. It's such a dope EP, and yeah, like
you said, it shows not that counter Parts hasn't been heavy,
but this show's a heavier side to the dand dialed
it up a notch.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Oh yeah, for sure. And I love seeing because what
Brendan does in Counterparts and End are very distinctly different vocally,
and he brings some of that end stuff into this,
which I really like to adds this new flare to
the band. It still sounds like Counterparts, but again, like
you said, it's like turn up to eleven a little bit.
It's still got those leads, it still has those cool
(41:15):
chord progressions, it still has those like really weird time signatures,
like the band fucking rocks. The band can do no wrong,
but it's cool to see this kind of they die
to them and I'm excited to hear a new full
length when that eventually comes, whether it be next year
or the year after. Would you have number five?
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Honestly, man, I had the story so far. I want
to disappear at number five. One thing I love about
this band is just how everybody's so focused on how
Parker stands on stage, in his stage presence. Between this
and no Pressure, no pressure, he does not stand.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Yeah, he's full of life.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
But with this, everybody and I it's a shtick at
this point. I truly feel that. But I feel as
though this sounds more like They're you know, Rome and
things like that. They kind of take it back to
their first albums with the lyrics and the harshness to
his vocals and the kind of angsty angriness that Parker
(42:11):
brings to his vocals. Meanwhile, they're you know, guitars and
the drum. Everything just kind of blends together. And I
feel like this also kind of tells a story throughout
the album as well. Had such a good album in
my opinion, I really really enjoyed this album.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah, it's a good album. It didn't make my list,
but I think it was the first start so of
our album. I wasn't kind of like obsessed with, and
by obsessed, I mean would constantly keep playing it. But
it seems a lot of people love this album. I
really like the singles, but as an entire thing, like
it didn't It just didn't have Me coming Back. I
don't know why that's fair. My number four is Casey
(42:47):
How to Disappear, which we reviewed album on our YouTube
channel last January, so almost I.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Was honestly, I forgot about that album until now because
for some reason I thought it was twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Damn yeah, it came up right in the beginning of
the year.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
I hate these January releases because it was such a
good album.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
It's hard. Yeah, it's an incredible ALP. I love this band.
I'm glad they got back together, and I hope I
get to see them live eventually. Maybe we'll see. But
I'm happy they're released the music because it's still very
very good. It's also it's kind of hard to revisit
sometimes because it is pretty depressing. It is so it
is that it's very depressing album. Yes, yes, so that
(43:27):
makes a little hard, but it's still very very good.
Do you have it?
Speaker 3 (43:31):
I got four years strong with Analysis Paralysis. I hate
They're like my favorite pop punk band of all time.
It's like one A, one B with them in wonder
years and so I really liked what they did with
this album. It they would get you upped up to
the top. To the climax, and then they would kind
of dial it back a little bit and change the
sound and flow slightly, which worked, and they still have
(43:53):
the little bit of the harshness to them and that
edge to them. I thought, I really love Bad Habit.
That one is my favor favorite on that album. But
those dudes, man, I just love what they put out.
I love what they're all about. They're a band that
I honestly surprised has never gotten bigger than they are.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
And so I'm hoping I think it's changing now.
Speaker 4 (44:12):
I do.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
I definitely agree that I think they're changing because this
is a band that, you know, forever, this should have
been one of the biggest bands in the scene, and
I think they're finally going to start getting that recognition
that they're deservedly should be getting.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yeah, one hundred percent, this album's my number one. I've
been obsessed with album since I got since I've got
to hear it. I got to interview Dan on the podcast,
which is an absolute pleasure because I've been listening to
this band since I was seventeen years old.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Yeah, I grew up listening to them when they're a
local band.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Dude, Yeah, exactly. I saw them on the Riser Dye
Trying release tour, and it's such a weird things. I've
been talking about this album so much with so many people,
and I think it might be my favorite forty strong
album if I can let go of the nostalgia of
a Raiserdye Trying, which is right, Okay, So.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
That's that's a good point. You bring nostalgia, right, because
that's why it's my favorite, is I they did? I
just love that album. But if I take off the
glasses for a minute, I would say that, yeah, the
way that they've grown and progressed, this album might be
their most complete album and probably their best just And.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
It's crazy because if you hear the stories of how
they wrote this album, they basically had nothing written when
they went in the studios and they just this album
just came out, which is fucking insane because I think
it's easily their best written album. And it's crazy because
you see so many bands and they try to recapture
the magic magic of like Est, like a lot of
(45:40):
the bands we listen to when your teenagers are bands
again or still bands one or one or the other
and putting out new music and touring and all that stuff,
and they're kind of trying to recapture the magic they
did well just so hot right now when they first
broke out. And I don't think a lot of bands
do that successfully. But I think what this band does
is they've evolved and they've become This still sounds like
for you strong, but it's it's totally different. If you
(46:03):
really like break down, how it's written, everything like that,
it's it's it's so yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. Dude,
seeing them live and I've been seeing them live for
almost twenty years.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
I've seen them so long, so many times.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Yeah, and I think they're the best they've ever been.
And they're like in their forties.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
They're just dudes. Man, they're having fun. You can really
see it too their stage president. Yeah, they're just having fun.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
Can't see what they do next. To be honest, I'm
so excited to hear what an album post Analysis Prowess
is going to be like, because yes, I think it's
fucking amazing. Love Love is so much again. My number
three was cou de Crass by C Space Cowboy, What
is your number three?
Speaker 3 (46:45):
This one was Sabrina Carpenter Short and sweet Man, We've
really up there. Yeah, I love this album. Okay, I
know it gets me in a good mood. I probably
shouldn't let her listen to half the music I do.
But my daughter is a big fan of a Carpenter, and.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Like Taylor, carp is not really for kids.
Speaker 5 (47:01):
I know.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
I know some people on Facebook are super confused by this.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
I'm not going to take her to a sprint of
Carpenter's show mind You, But for a six year old,
I can listen to some censored versions or you know,
if she has questions, I'll just be like, oh, it's
an adult thing.
Speaker 5 (47:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (47:15):
There's some of that has come up, especially with my
nine year old. There some of that has some of
those questions have begun to get raised, and I'm just like,
nobody prepared me for this as a parent. I still
feel like I am twenty years old. My number two
we've alreay, I've already talked about your number two is counterparts.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
My number one is very strong. So I think my
number two and your number one are the same.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
It's not to lose man. Yeah, yeah, okay, we'll.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
We're supposed to. Obviously, I've talked about this last time
in the podcast. I have a storied past with not Loose,
not like we're best friends or anything, but I've played
with them in a garage in Anneapolis and they played
a few of ghost Ship's final shows at the time,
and even then I was like, you guys are going
to be massive, and they're like, oh no, you know,
nothing like that's gonna happen. Look at them now.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
They played Jimmy Kimple this year and headlining what was it, Lollapalooza,
or you know, playing massive shows at Lollapalooza, which is
not we have a hardcore presence and Coachella and mainstream
Jimmy Kimmel if you will, and everybody knows knock Loose
and a lot of people weren't ready for what knock
(48:20):
Loose was going to bring. And to see the while
keeping the core of who they are as a band
and who they are as a sound as they're finding
this success and breaking barriers down. It is so fucking
rad to see the hardcore scene really get its comeuppance
and Brian and his just presence and angriness that he brings.
(48:45):
I loved that. You know, Slaughterhouse two is a continuation
because I love Slaughterhouse one with Motionless, I thought that
was awesome, but I mean Suffocate such a good song too,
and just the grunginess of their guitars and their breakdowns,
and this is a band that just I'm so glad
that they're the band that's breaking down these barriers and
is getting their dues.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
It is so dope me too, because there's so many
bands I've kind of we've seen it a lot, from
like the Warped Tour days to now a bunch of
medical core bands becoming like more radio.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
And kind of mother Rises a prime example.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
Bands like wage War and even like Miss may I
at a certain point kind of weird like mainstream kind
of thing, but not Loose is like the heaviest one
to do that, you know, and they they only get heavier.
It's not like they're like, oh, we're getting bigger, we
should become more commercial. They're like, no, we're gonna get
(49:43):
heavier and we're gonna, you know, be on Jimmy Kimmel
and be direct support to Slipknot and everything like that.
It's and it's so cool. I agree with you one
hundred percent because it's so cool to see a band
that's irrevocably fucking, disgustingly heavy. And yes they're the one
that's getting all the sh on them. I think that's
so cool. A similar things kind of happened with Lorna
Shore in a way. Uh they're selling out insanely big venues.
(50:09):
Uh yeah, they're only continuing to do so. And they're
a fucking death core band, you know, And that's crazy.
And it's so cool to see just straight up heavy
music becoming a mainstream thing. I know some people don't
like it, but I don't give a fuck. I think
it's cool.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
I think it's yeah, I don't care. I think one
big thing too, is something especially with like will Ramos, right,
is people are appreciating the things that these vocalists and
these genres can do with their voices, which is not
something people have really ever focused on before in the past.
They just immediately discredit. He's how can you understand what
(50:44):
they're saying? And it's they're finally getting some just recognition.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Last year was a really good year for music, and
this year is I've already started off with watch this
is Architects Back. I think Architects is back, Architects back,
Babies Yeah. The new Shoot Your Ounds album is an
early Album of the Year contender already. Yeah, a few
weeks into the year. There's a lot of good ship
coming out this year. So I'm gonna be a big
(51:10):
new Sleep Token Sleep.
Speaker 3 (51:11):
Token Underl's gonna be dropping a new album which I
have some of their singles I've actually really enjoyed. I
know you might not feel that way, but I think
I think I'm for better or worse. I think there's
there's been something there. Architects is getting ready in February
to drop a new album.
Speaker 7 (51:26):
Pale Face Swiss. You dropped a new album that's really
really solid. Yeah, it's gonna be tours coming to oh
Yeahs tours. Good movies twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
