If you love 80s New Wave, atmosphere, and albums that feel like a moment in time — you NEED this one.

Chapter 22 in our series of albums WE believe belong in your collection, YES, I know, this is a newer album again but we cannot get enough of the 00's emo vibes!

One of Sammie’s favorite, and one Dino and I couldn’t stop blasting back in the day. We dive into what made this record so iconic, how it bridged pop and rock, and why it still feels timeless today. And why you NEED it!

Chapter 20 - Panic! At The Disco, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, was a mainstay in my car, home, iPod, this album was life. As you will hear in this episode, joining me, Dino, Sammie, and Harvey, was Julie, the one to bring this to the fam! It was a great time in the 00's, watching these scene kids grow and their music was awesome. This was an exciting episode to do, you can hear how excited we all are when talking about the music. This album is a must for every vinyl collector.

This year is one to remember, one of the greatest showman and one of our biggest inspirations has passed away. Ozzy has been in all our lives from kids and took the news very hard, this was up there with Elvis, Bob, John Lennon for me. To witness the passing of another one of my inspirations, listen as our Host Harvey, Dino and Sammie discuss the impact of the Prince of Darkness with Harvey and our guest Julie. Thank you for the memories and long live OZZY! Thanks for listening.,,
