Almost Punk Enough - A TGEFM Podcast

New Found Glory are hitting the road this summer alongside Yellowcard and Plain White T’s on the Up Up Down Down Tour… so naturally, Ed and Mikey decided to do something completely reasonable: build their ultimate NFG live setlist. From Nothing Gold Can Stay to Listen Up!… covers, deep cuts, acoustic moments and even a little International Superheroes of Hardcore chaos… the pair map out their dream show while diving into the songs, sequencing and why placement matters.Along the way, they somehow end up discussing Lisa Loeb, the Hat Guy, Corey Feldman, and briefly stumble into what may be the shortest pop-punk true crime podcast in recorded history.Website: www.newfoundglory.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/newfoundglory Instagram: www.instagram.com/newfoundgloryAlmost Punk Enough is the "when we get around to it / have the time" podcast of That's Good Enough For Me music and pop-culture news website.
