From it's post hardcore roots in the 80s and the underground Midwest emo scene in the 90s to the explosive pop (punk) emo sounds that overtake the airwaves in the 2000s, Matt and Jim try to decipher why they felt like they had been yelling at kids to get off their lawn. Rites of Spring, American Football, Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance, Paramore....this list goes on. It's the genre that has continues to reshape it's sound and refuses to go away. Their final verdict? Jump in and listen to a few surprising revelations and a few opinions that remained unchanged.

New Year: same 'ol Matt and Jim. The guys come back to the original format to wrap up the best of 2024. There were a lot of surprises to be found. Jim discovered country music and Matt discovers The Cure! Women dominated the music scene once again in almost every genre and rightly so. While the year had some great new releases, they found that the beginning of the year was heavily weighted with the good stuff, while the second half left much to be desired. Matt and Jim share their favorite new songs, a few albums, and give their opinions on the songs chosen by the audience poll. 2024 might not go down as a classic year in music, but there was still a lot worth adding to the collection.

Two for the price of one you say? Everything love a good deal around Christmas. Unfortunately, not everyone likes to release new music. Who wants to compete with Mariah for the Number One spot? Matt and Jim combine the months of November and December and still manage to salvage some amazing music. Pink Floyd builds The Wall, Wham Makes It Big and London Calls The Clash. They also share a little TLC and discuss what the Dr. was prescribing for 2001. But Seriously, what do they really think of Phil Collins? Show a little holiday spirit and give this episode a listen!
