Finding Emo

We talk about the newest Haley Williams single, Good Ol' Days. It's completely obviously about her and Paramore guitarist Taylor York's relationship, and despite feeling like a windows down vibe, is super sad. Then we get into our initial thoughts on the new Yellowcard album after a few tangents, as per the usual.

We talked last week about The Format playing Fallon this week, but at that point didn't know there'd be a new single and full album announcement. So, 20 years after the last album, we're getting a third album from the Arizona band! We talk about the excitement of fans of fun. discovering Nate's previous band's new tunes, and theorize this is going to be a departure from the band...into pure rock n' roll.

This week Kyle and Blake are talking about the new The Starting Line album, Eternal Youth, as well as Acceptance's Phantoms/Twenty re-imagining. Plus, The Format is doing a few reunion shows, including playing Jimmy Fallon on October 6th where the other guest is the genre's biggest promoter, Taylor Swift. We look forward to millions of Swifties discovering The Format, even if they're 20 years late to the party.

We're so excited that Motion City Soundtrack is making new music. We're even more thrilled that the album is, as should be expected, awesome.
Kris and Blake also talk about Cartel's Chroma - 2025 album, where they re-record, but maybe don't quite re-imagine, their 2005 debut album on it's 20th anniversary.
