The Alarm have recently released their album WAR (RAW in reverse), led by vocalist Mike Peters. Peters' lyrics are extremely on topic as he explores the anger and chaos of the last five years, from Brexit to the Capitol riots, the use of social media as a propaganda tool (as the song “Protect and Survive” sounds the alarm of “280 ways to start a war!”), all the way through the continuing pandemic. It makes for a lively conversation, as samples from the album are played and classic Alarm songs like “Strength” and “Rain in the Summertime” are discussed, among other things. Listen up!

We all have them: pop songs we love and pop songs we loathe. There are songs that we love from the moment we hear them — and we know exactly why. And then there are certain songs — while being bestselling songs, well-crafted and well-performed — can still hit a certain nerve that can have us leaving the room on first note. It's nothing personal, it all depends on the individual.

On this episode, two podcasters talk about their own personal pop songs that they have loved and loathed throughout their lives for various reasons. It's all in good fun, and maybe listeners can submit some of their own choices.
