In today's episode, I talk about five bands that I didn't love upon first listen, but eventually loved. I didn't quite understand the charm, brilliance, and creative genius of the five bands listed until I really dug deep. In a few instances, I went back and revisited the band's back catalogue, and that is where I discovered that I did in fact love the band.

The bands mentioned are:

1. Alkaline Trio

2. Smoking Popes

3. Taking Back Sunday

4. Glassjaw

5. Armor For Sleep

As you'll hear, I learned the error of my ways, and I love all of these bands dearly now. Please don't think less of me. Enjoy this episode.
