    Nov 4 2024

    Season 7 Episode 8: Matt and James go to the Emo Exhibition (Feat. Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, House of Protection and more)

    This week, Matt and James are out in the field, as we make our way to the Emo Exhibition in London.

    Having been sent the info by approximately 14 people, we decided to go and see what the Emo Exhibition is all about, join us as we discuss our experience, and attempt our first ever field recording. We look at studded belts, dodgy myspace pictures and Matt breaks the display cabinet. You won’t want to miss this review, because it will help you decide whether or not you should go and see the exhibition for yourself!

    We also chat about our experience of seeing House of Protection at the Underworld, bumping into friend of the podcast and Polar frontman, Woody, and end up going on a 90’s britrock side quest.

    All this and more madness, join us for all the fun.

  • Emo Dad talks to Julian Rosen (Common Sage)
    Oct 28 2024

    Season 7 Episode 7: Emo Dad talks to Julian Rosen (Common Sage)

    Matt and James were buzzing to sit down with frontman of the incredible Common Sage, Julian Rosen.

    We discuss Julian’s youth and how he got into bands such as The Beatles and Blink 182, stealing his father’s records, starting bands in high school and learning guitar.

    We chat about the highs and lows of being in a band, the reality of touring and the impact it has on life. We chat about Spotify bio’s, Foxing, Cap n Jazz and which bands and musicians have been a big influence on Julian and the band.

    We look forward to the new album release, ‘Closer To’, which is out 22 November on Equal vision, and is absolutely MASSIVE. We discuss getting the likes of Geoff Rickly and Jason Gleason on the album, and how you take full advantage of having a mega guest on one of your songs.

    All this and so much more, it was a great chat and we can’t wait for you to hear.

  • Jason Aalon Butler deep dive Pt 2. (Feat. Fever333, The Wonder Years, The Bloody Beetroots and more)
    Oct 21 2024

    Season 7 Episode 6: Jason Aalon Butler deep dive Pt 2.

    Matt and James are back for part 2 of our Jason Aalon Butler deep dive.

    This week we are focusing our attention and dodgy research on the Fever333 years. Of course we get distracted again and start discussing pretty much everything else there is to talk about.

    We do find some time to talk about the band and the ever evolving lineup of musicians. We chat about the influence of the likes of Travis Barker and John Feldmann, the guest vocal slots Jason has been involved in, and even take a virtual tour through a boutique hotel, for reasons which we will save for the listeners.

    Join us for lots of fun and banter.

  • Jason Aalon Butler deep dive Pt 1. (Feat. Letlive, Limp Bizkit and Aalon Butler)
    Oct 14 2024

    Season 7 Episode 5: Jason Aalon Butler deep dive Pt 1.

    In an effort to actually be on brand for once, Matt and James are back on the deep dives. To celebrate the release of the new Fever333 album, we decide to focus our attention and questionable research skills on the mighty Jason Aalon Butler, front man for the likes of Letlive and Fever333, as well as political activist, insane frontman and lover of bins.

    Bins take up a surprisingly large part of our chat, as we obviously get distracted. We also focus too much time on Inglewood (LA), Limp Bizkit (again!) and sports teams.

    As well as the above, we spend most of this episode discussing the mighty Letlive, leaving Fever333 for next week.

    Join us and the usual fun and games.

  • James’ birthday surprise interrogation (Feat. Refused, Glassjaw, RATM and more)
    Oct 7 2024

    Season 7 Episode 4: James’ birthday surprise interrogation.

    This week, Matt and James recorded the episode on James’ birthday. Regular listeners will not be surprised to hear that James doesn’t enjoy birthdays, and he hates surprises, so Matt decided to surprise him with some birthday fun.

    Join us as Matt quizzes James on everything from the 1980 Reading Festival lineup to his dream gig lineup. We discuss how we prefer to live our lives in total control and how unexpected change can make us anxious. We chat about what makes a band influential or not and play loads of cool music, as well as some not so cool music.

    Join us in wishing James a very happy birthday.

  • AI vs human podcasters (Feat. Father of Peace, Death Lens, The Get Up Kids and more)
    Sep 30 2024

    Season 7 Episode 3: AI vs human podcasters.

    This week, Matt and James decide to plug their silly podcast musings into an AI podcasting black magic machine and live react to what they get. This stuff is crazy and will blow your mind and do us out of a job at the same time.

    We also discuss American Football (band or sport?), new bands Father of Peace and Death Lens, the return of the Warped Tour, pre festival warm up exercises and so much more.

    It’s yet another week of alternative culture madness and we hope you choose to join us on this wild ride.

    Sep 23 2024

    Season 7 Episode 2: Summer gigging good times.

    We chat about the various venues we’ve visited, our favourite moments from watching bands such as LS Dunes, Sweet Pill, The Armed and many more. We also exclusively reveal why we didn’t attend any festivals this year.

    We also remember being celebrity spotted at a Thursday gig, the disgusting sound of a blues slide guitar, the terrifying sight of stage divers and so much more.

    We hope you enjoy.
