This week we’re joined by Matt MacDonald of The Classic Crime! We cover all things Classic Crime from what songwriting and recording looks like now to what the future holds for the band. Matt’s a deep thinker, and we even get into some metaphysical aspects that you know TJ was all too happy to discuss.

I never thought that you could say these words. Is this really happening that The Weak's End is turning 20 years old? It most certainly is. Fortunately, we're joined by Devin Shelton from Emery to help us process all the feelings surrounding such a monumental event. We could write a thousand pages about this record, but we recorded a podcast instead. Lend an ear, and let the Walls have their say.

It’s hard to find a friend, but fortunately, we found the perfect one for this episode. Ben Sooy is the frontman of Denver emo band A Place For Owls, and he’s quite the David Bazan scholar. Ditch your '87 Trans Am and join us for a slowcore ride through the debut full-length record from Pedro the Lion.

It's our first episode of 2024, and we must say Farewell Old Friends... is the record we're covering. We're joined by Davy Baysinger of Bleach to discuss their final record, Farewell Old Friends! We guarantee our conversation with him is Good As Gold. But it's Gonna Take Some Time, which is why we split the episode into two parts. This episode is our mini-interview and introduction to the record. Look for Part 2 where we cover Farewell Old Friends track-by-track with Davy. We trust you'll find Part 1 Sufficient until then.

We sat down with Mike Almquist, longtime manager of mewithoutYou, to discuss everything mwY. We get behind the scenes on their songwriting process, running the business side of things, and more. If you’re a mewithoutYou fan like all of us, you’re going to love all the insight Mike shares.

Mike also managed Five Iron Frenzy during the Engine of a Million Plots era, so this is the perfect episode to follow last week’s. We talk a little at the beginning, but the Engine of a Million Plots discussion starts at 1:21:36, if you're just here to battle dance unicorns with glitter.
