We revisit Foals for the first time in over 7 years, with their debut record Antidotes being one of the very first albums we covered on this record. Picking up where we left off we cover their next 2 records, Total Life Forever and Holy Fire and explore the slow evolution from complex math rock to stadium-worthy anthems, always with a pop-forward lean tinged with a punk attitude.

We say it often on this podcast: the 90s is a bottomless pit of incredible rock music as wide as it is deep. And if you grew up in the United States like we did, you may have slept on arguably the greatest Canadian rock band of all time: The Tragically Hip. From the cryptically beautiful lyricism of frontman Gord Downie to the catchy hooks and song structures of the band behind him, we deep dive into their 1994 record Day For Night and ask the question we find ourselves asking constantly on this podcast: where has this band been all our lives?

We finally get around to talking about Bush and dive into their first 2 records: Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase. Released only 8 months after the death of Kurt Cobain, the music world was split between fans that wanted to move on from grunge, and those that were highly protective of it's legacy and culture. Bush got caught somewhere in the middle, seeing commercial success on one hand and scorn from devoted grunge heads on the other. But decades removed from the era, the 2 records stand out amongst the slew of grunge copycats that came and went.

Portland's synth-pop duo Nu Shooz saw massive success with their debut single I Can't Wait off their 1986 record Poolside. The band fused soul, jazz, and dance/electronic to create a synth-pop sound all their own. We dive into their first 2 records and reminisce about the unmistakable, and undeniably contagious sound of 80s synth-pop.

On our first Whatcha Heard of the year, we wax poetic about the good old days of the indie music blogosphere and reminisce with some proper chillwave artists. And we bounce from Brenda Lee to to Nu Shooz to Chat Pile in possibly our widest spread of decades and genres yet. Tune in for all that and more for our first monthly mixtape of 2025.

If you're a fan of Kings of Convenience, allow us to introduce you to their groovier, disco-infused brother The Whitest Boy Alive. Fronted by 1/2 of the KOC duo, the indie pop band's short run in the late 2000s produced two solid records that blended dance, disco, and pop with Erlend Øye's signature soft vocals and playful lyrics.
