    We're back to our regularly scheduled programming, and we are coming out of the gate hot. The album is "Thousand Mile Stare" by the band Incendiary.

  • Julien Baker -Turn Out The Lights, With Guest The Jerry Farley

    The Cantina is graced by the one and only Jerry Farley aka "The Jerry". Producer, Engineer, and Musician, he does it all. We get into his life behind the mixing board, playing with bands (currently in Anaka) and sobriety.

    We let our guests pick the albums, and this episode is one helluva curveball. Get your kleenex ready, and start exploring your emotions, because we dive into "Turn Out The Lights" by Julien Baker. A modern day journey through deep emotion and thought, delivered with a stripped-down and intimate approach. Listen to hear what the guys thought on such a change of pace album for the show, and what was the Six-Pack Rating?

    We couldn't have a guest and not drop a ridiculous game. So check out who we picked to replace Metallica from our random pool of actors/actressess. We tackle some e-mail and more!

    Cheers!

  • Hall of Awesome - Senses Fail "Still Searching" - Stone IPA

    Another nominee is up for debate in this installment of Hall of Awesome. This time it was Davis' pick and he brought an instant classic from 2006. The album is "Still Searching" by Senses Fail. This album has it all, but what will the guys score the album on the five categories it needs to get the Seal of Immortality? Listen to find out, and hear the Rock Hard Tracks as well favorite moments of the album.

    We check out some listener email, and get stoned... I mean, we drink Stone. Stone IPA. A great tasting IPA and a perfect compliment for this episode. Hear where it lands on the Nectar Scale.

    Cheers!

  • Hall of Awesome - Coheed and Cambria, Stella Artois

    Our latest Hall of Awesome nominee is an album by Coheed and Cambria. The album "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3." A heavyweight of an album that changed the game, back in 2003.

    This week the beer is Stella Artois, not the most obscure beer, but a good one nonetheless. It's also brought to the show for a very good reason by Jay, you'll have to check out the episode to find out why.

    Cheers!

  • Great Collapse, Dark Swan Sour by Lagunitas

    April Fools!...

    We're getting angry, we're getting political. We're listening to Great Collapse and their new offering "Neither Washington nor Moscow...Again". This album is pumped up and aggressive from start to finish. An impressive outing from a punk "super group." What will the Rock hard tracks and moments be for this hard hitting album? Listen to find out.

    The beer this week is a sour ale called Dark Swan by Lagunitas brewing. We do realize we picked lagunitas two weeks in a row... but its ok, there's no rules here. Nectar Scale?

    Email gets answered, and we play a new game where we have a blind beer tasting and Davis is our guinea pig. Can he get all the beers right?

    Cheers!

  • Tiny Moving Parts "Swell", Founders All Day IPA

    This week the guys get into the record "Swell" by punk/emo trio, Tiny Moving Parts. Did you read trio? Thats right! A power trio playing catchy emo chorus' with intricate and precise guitar parts all held down by booming drums and driving rhythms. Listen to what the guys have to say about the emo genre and what Rock Hard Tracks and moments made this record.

    Alongside our discussion we chose to drink All Day IPA by Founders. A smooth and easy drinking IPA that can still pack a lot of flavor. Where does it land on the ever insane Nectar-Scale? Listen in to the show to find out.

  • Rabea Massaad - Grinding Gears, Whammy Bar # 2 Beer

    In this episode the guys breakdown an instrumental record by the amazing Rabea Massaad. The album Grinding Gears is a compilation of songs from YouTube demo's and some original material, but don't let that fool you. These songs are packed with ridiculously good guitar playing, and riffs that make most bands sad they didn't write them. How will the guys rate their first instrumental album? Check it out..

    What better beer to get for an instrumental guitar album than Whammy Bar #2. This is IPA from Clown Shoes brewing. A really smooth beer for a super slick episode... check out where it lands on the nectar scale.

    Jay and Davis play some A-side B-side and answer email and our first request!

    Cheers.
