#22 - Can You Make Me Feel Good?
In just five years, Have Heart defined a subgenre, became a legendary live act and left records behind that decades later continue to inspire thousands of people across the world. Their blend of thoughtfulness and aggression is something many punk bands aspire to but few if any have reached. Can...
-
#21 - Can't You Help Me Be Uncrazy?
At the turn of the century, Metallica's James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Lars "Fuuuuuuuuuck" Ulrich stood at a crossroads as the biggest band of the world. Creatively unfulfilled and mired in personal troubles, they made a maladroit and strange release: 2003's St. Anger. Not only that, they...
-
#20 - A Hell of Anxiety
Disrupt. Distress. Disgust. Disclose. Disarm. Disfear. Dispyt. Endless bands have been inspired by the sound of Discharge. Their early 1980s run stands on its own as some of the greatest and most influential punk music ever made. But we are not talking about those records, we are talking about...
-
#19 - What is Wrong With You, is Wrong All the Way Through
We close out the metalcore season with Contention's Artillery from Heaven, a young classic. We cried, we laughed, we had an eye poked by a clumsy guy on a random pit, but it had to come to an end. We just put out our companion zine to this metalcore season:...
-
#18 - I've Got a Nuclear Weapon Called Self-Actualisation
Merry Christmas to our loyal listeners! We hope you are spending quality time with your loved ones. In fact, what better present can be given than the gift of knowledge? You can impress all your dear ones by showing them this episode of SIX OUT OF FIVE where we discuss Vein(.fm's) innovative 2018...

#17 - This is What Separates the Boys From the Men
This is an episode about the debut EP of Knocked Loose, Pop Culture. We talk about the various flavours of Louisville hardcore, how KL changed it, and what they've evolved into since. RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE EP DROPPED. LISTEN TO IT...
-
#16 - We Don't Talk Much Anymore but Motherfucker, We Hit Hard
We pulled this episode out despite a seemingly neverending string of technical difficulties. We have fried motherboards, shitty audio drivers, makeshift microphones. We still cannot pronounce the word apocalyptic. But we do it all for you, the listener. Next time you make a joke about podcasting,...
-
#15 - There is Love! (There is Love!)
The commercial peak of metalcore was As Daylight Dies by Killswitch Engage ("KSE" for the fanz). We wrap our minds around this technically complex epic work and try to figure out some big questions. Is it mid? What are these songs about? What's going on in Sweden? How do you pronounce…

#14 - Death to Traitors, Cowards & Empty Words
We laugh, we sing, we grip the monumental classic Jane Doe by Converge. To do this, we consider the glazing and d***riding that this album has received for decades. We talk about forgotten gems of 90s metalcore (both problematic and woke) and internecine band drama. Kaust really loves this album....
-
#13 - When You're Sinking, You'll Learn to Edify
We have decided to face the ever-changing monstrous genre that has haunted our lives head on. We're covering a series of foundational (or not) albums from metalcore to track the evolution of the genre. Starting off, we dissect "Progression Through Unlearning" from Snapcase. This was put out by...
-
#12 - I'm A Person (with Special Guest, Ellie!)
They said it couldn't be done. Nevertheless, we have become the first podcast to defeat the misogyny allegations. We are raising women's voices with Ellie joining us to talk about No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom. This was released by Interscope Records in 1995. It's a massive album, you know it…

#11 - My God, My Gun, My BBQ
Everything in life is fleeting. The innocence of youth fades away, summer warmth abandons us, and your peers will have children and acquire debts. In turn, we sadly find ourselves in the penultimate episode of SKA SEASON. We have no recourse but discussing Mu330's final full-length "Ultra Panic",...
-
#10 - Basement Dwelling Loser Freaks
Ska season nears its end as we cover These Hands of Mine, a full-length album by California anti-ska band Corrupt Vision. We talk about crack rock steady, punk microgenres, and sympathetic straight edge.
-
#9 - Raising Hell with Reckless Style
We discuss Question The Answers, the fourth album by prominent ska band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Among other subjects discussed is The Defiant, Dicky Barrett's conservative rock band. We also touch on other things but we recorded this a while ago so I honestly don't remember what it was....
-
#8 - I Am Goat Milk In Your Beer
After a long break, we resume ska festivities by commenting on Sing Along with Skankin' Pickle, a 1994 Dill Records release. Along the way, we discuss Volbeat's upcoming European tour, Joyce Manor's self-titled classic, and Bonzo Goes to Bitburg's lasting impact on music.
-
#7 - Mr. Geppetto
We have finally come to address the most respectable ska album, Streetlight Manifesto's 2003 debut Everything Goes Numb. After fumbling through a clueless conversation surrounding the tantalizing idea of New Jersey, we discuss this classic record, as well as taking detours to talk about Victory...
-
#6 - Many People In the World Know You Are An Animal
The season of ska continues with a deep look at 1999 Mexican classic "A la izquierda de la tierra" by Panteón Rococó. We discuss the meshing of ska with other genres, the acceptability of ska merch, and bands possibly outnumbering the audience.
-
#5 - Spinning Around, Spinning Around
Skanking. Horn sections. Checkered Vans. It is the season of ska. We celebrate it by looking at Less Than Jake's 1995 debut Pezcore. Join us as we discuss this and related subjects such as ska fashion, respectable ska, and merch designs
-
#4 - Fly In The Disappointment
In a specially self-indulgent episode to send off 2024, we talk about 2003 Jawbreaker tribute album "Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault" from Dying Wish Records, which features Fall Out Boy, Kill Your Idols, Bigwig, and others. We also fantasy book what a Jawbreaker tribute could look like in 2024.…

#3 - There's No Such Thing as Society
In the final episode of our abridged folk punk season we look at the 2018 concept album "IX" by Rent Strike. We touch on punk songwriting, Lord of the Rings, and give our thoughts on the folk punk genre as a whole. Shout out to the art of podcasting.
-
#2 - You Don't Choose Punk Rock Because Maybe Punk Rock Chooses You
We are continuing this folk punk retrospective with a look at "Burn the Earth! Leave It Behind" by Wingnut Dishwashers Union, the work of one of the most influential figures in the genre. While unpacking our feelings on this one, we talk about pop punk vocals and Kimya Dawson. Shout out to the...
-
#1 - You Fought For Stalin, I Fought For Freedom
In our first episode, we start off the season looking at folk punk by talking about the classic 2002 album "Against Me! Is Reinventing Axl Rose". We touch on related topics like defunct music streaming website Grooveshark, CM Punk: The Best In The World, and Gainesville Rock City. Shout out to…
