The Story So Far - Under Soil and Dirt
When discussing The Story So Far's debut full-length, Under Soil and Dirt, we are coming at it from two completely different worlds. For one of us, this 2011 Pure Noise Records release has been an absolute classic since day one; for the other, it is a brand-new, shiny toy that simply cannot be…

Midtown - Save The World, Lose The Girl
We're saving the world, but losing the girl this week with the debut album from Midtown.

Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
Here on The Pod Punk Cast, we're so sick of being tired, and so tired of being sick. The reason why? Taking Back Sunday's debut album Tell All Your Friends. When it arrived on Victory Records in 2002, it changed the emo and post-hardcore landscape forever, an instant classic! This was the album...

Four Year Strong - Rise or Die Trying
CALLING ALL CARS! CALLING ALL CARS! We're starting the takeover with Four Year Strong's Rise or Die Trying. This record became the blueprint for the 'easycore' subgenre. Driven by the dual-vocals of Alan Day and Dan O'Connor, this album delivers those upbeat, heavy chugging hardcore breakdowns…

Mayday Parade - A Lesson In Romantics
Up next on the Warped Tour lineup is Tallahassee, Florida's own Mayday Parade. They're at the front of the class, and today's subject is A Lesson In Romantics. Not a whole lot we agree on with this one, but their debut album from 2007 is packed with hooks, heartbreak, and song titles that are...

What's the D-D-D-Dillio everyone?! In this episode we are wasting some time on MEST. We go back to the drawing board when Tony Lovato and the guys from South Chicago officially crashed the mainstream party. "Wasting Time" became the soundtrack for those long days at school, long nights with your...
