“Everything about how I sing and play guitar came from this band”

In this music and talk podcast episode, Connor and Cody explore how the Los Angeles hardcode punk scene birthed the biggest pop-punk album of the decade, 1982’s Milo Goes to College. From its catchy choruses, melodic basslines, and angsty lyrics delivered with a snarl, Milo laid the foundation for the future of the genre (and we don’t mean fish-core).

Fill up your gas tank, put scotch tape on your motor, and get this album stuck in your head.
