  • Great podcast.

    Figured I’d update my review to state that I’ve been listening since day one and only missed a handful of episodes due to not being a fan of who’s on the pod but I’ve learnt so much about what goes on behind the scenes of some of the biggest bands in the industry. Still outstanding after all these years and the Patreon has allows me to make real life friend as well as online ones too. It’s great going to shows and festivals and having people say hello from the Patreon.

  • The best in pod

    Fantastic podcast giving insights into the world of alternative music. Guests are always great and Sean is hilarious. Morgan’s puns are genuinely cringey but seems a top bloke

  • Amazing

    Love this podcast and busy catching up. Does wonders for your mental health as it brings a smile to your face each time. Being 42 , this delves deep into an era of music I adore. And it unashamedly reps numetal too as a non dirty word which is class. More Glassjaw. In fact Glassjaw all the time!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 383 - Emma Boster (Dying Wish)
Q: How did the banana moment on stage come about, and what does it say about your audience?
It's a spontaneous, silly expression of the band's relationship with fans, showing that people embrace absurdity and that live shows are about having fun and connecting in unpredictable ways.
EP. 381 - Spencer Chamberlain (Underoath) | Live @ E.N.D Cruise 2026
Q: What is Spencer Chamberlain's favorite song by The Used?
Sharp Objects.
EP. 376 - The Used (Bert McCracken & Jepha Howard) | Live @ E.N.D Cruise 2026
Q: What do you envision that you can and will be doing in 10 or 15 years?
It's still completely 100% possible that we're still doing the same thing, rocking on stage, because the crowds are getting younger and younger. So we might as well just keep rocking.
EP. 376 - The Used (Bert McCracken & Jepha Howard) | Live @ E.N.D Cruise 2026
Q: What was it like actually singing on a boat?
It was my first cruise that I've ever performed on and it was awesome.
