November 10, 2022 Episode 59: Reunions
Reunited and it feels so good!
This week's episode is all about reunions. Our favourite pop-punk trio are back together which got us thinking about reunions. Good ones, bad ones, fake ones (like Blinks?). We discuss the pros and cons of our favourite artists 'getting the band back together'. Should they even bother? Is it just a cash-grab? We even throw out some names of artists we wouldn't mind seeing back together. Elsewhere, Simon tells his story of his recent regional show with his band (drummers will know his pain), and Josh vents about The Veronica's.

We pose the old age question, what are your music guilty pleasures?
Should guilty pleasures exist? Should we have them as adults? We also chat about emo, swearing in class and we rattle off some artists who we considered guilty pleasures as teens! Plus, as an added bonus, we sing lots of 90/00's pop songs!
