James and Connor better put on their Baby Blue Shades, because Bad Suns are in store this week! Our next A&R Department recommendation, their brand new album Apocalypse Whenever, is taking us to the Electric Circus and back into the wide world of modern alt-pop. This "soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist yet" is a constant tug-of-war between bright music and dismal lyrics. The Mixtaper's bringing us more mysteries of a missing EP, the Watermelon Crawl, and even common allergies! If you've been Silently Screaming, maybe Heaven Can Be A Place In Your Head with this week's episode in your ears.

On one hand, we could talk about any ol' artist this week. But On The Other Hand, we could talk about Randy Travis' 1986 debut, Storms Of Life! Full of some of the smoothest vocals ever known to the genre, this reminiscent record takes us through all the heartache and heartbreak you'd expect from one of country's greats. We'll dig up the bones of his troubled past, discuss farming in space, and tell you all about the time he acted alongside Nicolas Cage. Find out if this record is a Reason We Cheat or whether The Storms Of Life are blowin' us away!

Wouldn't It Be Nice if we talked about Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys? Yes, it would, so we did. This album is full of surf-adjascent psychedelic pop, with the kind of mid-60s charm that only Brian Wilson can capture. James and Connor will get into the disastrous album cover shoot, the band's famous members and friends, and Connor might even dislike a ballad or two! We'll tell you about the real-life Sloop John B., all the wacky instruments they used to make the record, and we've got pigeon updates (for some reason)! God Only Knows what we'd be without you..

Connor needs a lesson in heavy metal, so this week James trying his best to teach him about Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled 2007 record! From the first organs of Critical Acclaim to the last fading notes of Dear God, this album is every bit the Disneyland Acid Trip the band intended it to be. Between the intense imagery of Scream and A Little Piece Of Heaven and the heartfelt moments of Almost Easy and Afterlife, Avenged Sevenfold manages to evoke EVERY emotion in the book over the course of this 10-track collection. We learn about the band's barnyard mascot, siblings, and much more on our first metal episode. Rock on!

We've been told we're not Lady Like, and so has Ingrid Andress. On her 2020 debut album, the hip-hop dancing, pop-country newcomer comes out swinging with a handful of exceptionally personal, relatable songs. From piano breakup ballads to empowerment anthems, we don't think it's Bad Advice to say you should check out this record! You'll learn how to upset her parents, how to be the Life Of The Party, and which of our previous artists beat her in a competition! We'll dive deep into her lyrical style and figure out whether you can, in fact, do Both. Be sure to vote in the Spin It Grammys-- tune in to find out more!
