Looks like we made it... That is Season One done, finito, finished, ended. What a blast we've had too. Be sure to check out our Season One Wrap Party coming soon, but before that have a good listen to Episode Zed/Zee. Zebrahead are our band of choice, and what a frickin amazing band they are. 13, count 'em... 13 albums...Title Fight is an epic battle between cyborg and pet detective lunatic involving food, hoovers and a dog pushchair. Mumble rap is probably our favourite yet. Although I'm pretty sure Gandalf will never be allowed a Sting show and Pippen will be closely watched on a farm due to this now. Cool Story is a beaut, when we say beaut we mean eye wateringly crazy, horrific and downright uncomfortable.  Think phone charges and places they should never go. Join the madness for the last time in Season One!

Apologies in advance but this episode is just stupid. STU-PID. Again.  But that's what you're here for right?We're talking about the awesome fiddle powered punksters... YellowcardTitle Fight is a Halloween type affair but gets weird, quick.

We're joined by the legendary Dave again!Could the Real Slim Shady please stand up and you smell what title fight is cooking?Cool Story Bro is tragic yet funny. Kinda. Mumble rap is unreal. Animals in shoes. Just stupid, stupid, stupid.Join the fun!

Episode W is here and it's a belter.The Wonder Years - not the TV show either, the amazing punk pop sensations from PA. We're also chatting about Blink-182 and their news this week.Chris might have revamped the stream deck. Will Jay hold it together. You already know the answer. Title Fight pits Bond v Bauer and Cool Story Bro could be the best yet. Throw in a Home Alone Mumble Rap and you're there. Enjoy. 

Have we copped out by not doing a specific 'V' band - possibly. But who cares right?Especially when we have 20 different songs to talk about, when we put together our Brainstew Various Artists Compilation Playlist! It's a beat. Also the MCU themed title fight, with a fish. Mumble Rap is horrific, literally horrific. Like the worse thing you've ever heard, it's that. But done badly.Tune in.
