This week on Roach Koach we finally come back around to Flyleaf and listen to their self-titled debut album. Does this band give 110%? Will anyone just #LetLaceyScream? Will Lorin ever stop recommending that Columbine book? Most important, is Flyleaf worthy of the Nu-Metal Canon?

Also: Who’s Recommending with The King of Nu-Metal, 40 Grit Feedback, and the Poland iTunes Chart!

This week on the Roach Koach Podcast we listen to what one listener called “the German Limp Bizkit”, 4Lyn, and their self titled debut album. This is the album that asks, “Are you ready or what?” while delivering some wild homophobia and a multipart dream song. Does 4Lyn deserve a spot in the Nu-Metal canon?
