Whether you're into punk, emo, Ska, shreddy metal, or DIY hardcore, one of the best ways to discover new bands is checking them out live. There is something special about a band that can make you fall in love with them without ever hearing them before and its one of those things that is centric to the music we love.

In Episode 117 of the High Fives Punk Rock Podcast, Mike and Justin break down the bands they truly fell in love with only after seeing them live.  Have a listen to the episode and hear what bands did this for us and why?
