All Ages

THIS WEEK! We kinda played a game of song "drafting" while we were cleaning up dinner and we decided to log what we did. In the future we will try to figure out these shenanigans whilst recording. Honestly we had fun and we had a lot of fun doing it. It was kinda like a game show in a sense. I don't know I (Darryl) was shot out of a cannon in the last moments or maybe even the whole episode. The songs we "drafted" were Punk break-up songs in which when a song came on the radio we just yelled "mine" to claim it. Connie ran away with it by snatching up 8 while I only got 4.

This week we talk hardcore. We cover where it started and when kinda, and how Hardcore punk effects us. Is it an upper for our day or a downer. what types and what bands. It's almost like a sequel to our Mood Music episode which deals with mental health in a way but more on the day to day end.

This is probably our most structured episode yet. This week we talk about punk bands being utilized in soundtracks. Be it movies, videogames, TV whatever the case maybe. I made the list about a month ago to kinda give ourselves a footing into who, what, when and where. It's a fairly narrow sighted list because we focused on band we grew up loving and growing with. If anyone out there in the listening world can add to it let us know. we don't expect to hear from anyone because frankly we don't know if anyone truly gives a shit about these subjects and we're doing it for fun. Sooooo yeah, if you put up with listening to us week in and week out we truly appreciate it. There is a listener from a certain area that listens to every episode we put out that hasn't yet listened to last weeks episode but we appreciate theme sticking with it literally from the beginning. if they continue listening we're going to send them some stuff. The Ska episode might've turned them off because that's about the time they dropped off as well as others I feel. Anyways enjoy and have a great week.

The Sneakrets out...kinda out. We had our first guest, our hockey captain! It is our longest episode yet so be patient/accepting it. It also may be a little loud because we have never had a guest never used Zoom nothing. We're noobs at a lot of this podcast stuff. We cover Cap's origins into where the punk scene/sound interjected itself into her life and when. we had an absolute blast going down somebody else's rabbit hole and interact with it because often times in this scene streams cross. We hope you enjoy the episode. Also hit us up with your answers to this weeks episode's question posed to us.

"If you could see any band live in concert tonight or right now, who would it be? Where would you like to see it?"

This week we talk ska. Wether you enjoyed the genre, tolerated it, or loathed it you knew it in the mid '90s into about 2000. we cover how we discovered the bands we knew and grew up with before the scene self imploded and what they meant to us. We love all our listeners out there whoever you are.

This week we talk road trip music. What our personal choices in road trip music wether alone, on date trip or family trip. Everyone has a road trip sound track so we're throwing ours out there maybe ours line up with folks out there it probably doesn't. We also give a health update on my mom. Connie's more recent work road trip and her patients road trip sound track. Answer a few questions sent by some people. We talk up Five Iron Frenzy's Kickstarter to make a new album. Plus all kinds of other ramblings. we try to keep every episode coherent and if you have heard the rest of the episodes that NEVER happens. Thanks for listening to the people out there listening and keep it rad. DOPE!!!!!!

This week the Co-host derailed our planned show to talk about bands and songs that affect your mood. From angry to happy or not so good and how certain punk songs and bands will take us out of a bad mood or enhance a good mood. Eventually shifting mental health and the fact that the world is already a pretty shitty place especially this year, and how we need to treat the world like a mosh pit if you see someone fall help them out, pick'em up make sure they're okay. A little time and a good ear can go a long way. Also we have added a second microphone and monitor to capture Connies vocals better but alas I have to work the kinks out so she's not as boisterous as she normally would be. Thank you all for listening whoever is out there. Seeing the numbers of people listening(10?) and from all kinds of different places we really appreciate that you're taking the time out of your busy schedules or quarantine to listen to our nonsense.

Songs Referenced in this episode:
High Anxiety by The Suicide Machines off of their album Destruction By Definition
Pursuit of Liberty by Bad Cop/Bad Cop off of their 2020 album The Ride

This week we talk about Compilations. Some younger listeners, not that there are any don't know what a compilation is. It was basically this genius marketing tool used by punk labels to give exposure to their bands in the '90s. it might have happened earlier than we discovered them but we discuss our discovery of them. Those comps, as they were called back then, were Punk-o-rama(Epitaph), Survival Of The Fattest(Fat Wreck Chords, which always used fat in some kind of word play putting fat into a saying that already exists, and Go Ahead Punk Make My Day(Nitro Records). Those were the big three I(Darryl) discovered. When I say big three I mean the big three punk labels that were churning out great albums every year for a very long time and still are. Of course there were other labels putting out comps but these three were the ones in your face and on the front lines. We appreciate you all for listening because frankly we kinda suck at this but it has been something we have wanted to talk about for a long time because there isn't another podcast that we know of that's dedicated to reliving the glory days of '90s punk. If you have any topics you want us to discuss about the '90s punk scene or just to tell us we suck shoot us an email at [email protected] we will be launching a twitter account and instagram account this week to keep everyone who gives a shit up to date. thanks for listening and have a great week.

Just a quick run down of what the hell this podcast is about. Myself (Darryl Remers) and my wife (Connie Remers) discuss our lives in the punk scene, how we discovered it and how it was a game changer musically for us. It's called All Ages which isn't exactly what you think it means. It isn't intended for All Ages because there will most likely be foul language. The term All Ages refers to the '80s and 90's concerts for punk bands which is typically always referred to as "shows" were always all ages, compered to now shows are usually 18+ or 21+ with a few shows being all ages shows. These shows are usually family fun type shows where old punks can take their kids to them. These shows are usually The Aquabats, Me First and The Gimme Gimmes and a few others. The punk scene has been a huge part of our lives and we are here to discuss it and hopefully get more people talking about it no matter what era or sub genre of it. We hope listeners enjoy it. Excuse any back ground noise we have three hyper ass dogs that like to argue.
