    Please get the singer of The Suicide Machines to talk about the rest of The Suicide Machines’s albums after Battle Hymns starting with Self-Titled. I also want to write a book about The Suicide Machines.

  • Great for 90s punk fans

    Love this! So nice to relive all the albums I love so much track by track. Jed does a great job and has some great guests. Thank you for keeping me entertained! Heard Jed on unscripted moments: a podcast about propagandhi so decided to check this out I’m so glad I did!

  • Fantastic deep dives

    I started following these guys on Instagram a while back and caught a few episodes here and there. But I recently went back to the first episode and have binging this show for weeks! It’s a great deep dive on so many classic albums. The rotating cast of cohosts keeps it fresh as well. Highly recommended!
