One hell of a swan song.
It wasn't what they thought it was, but was it worse?
When your head goes through the windshield...
Their name actually kinda' was treason.
Oh, the webs we weave...
Dressed for historical analysis.
The biggest scene bands of all time.
Where are you, Tom?
For all the Soundcloud rap scene kids.
The path less traveled.
In pursuing conspiracies...
If you think this podcast is about you, it probably is.
I know what you buried last summer.
It was a little bit more than seven years.
You can't spell slaughter without (a little) genius.
Hot Topic metalcore band grows up.
The current kings.
The scene's modern superstars.
Dear diary...
How the hell did we get here?
How a foundation layer for the scene went from hero to villain.
MGK, Yungblud, Jxdn and more. Where did they come from? And where are they going?
We all doubted Tom DeLonge. But, against every odd, he's proving all of us wrong.
How did Neck Deep become modern pop-punk's biggest band? And where do they stand now?
It's been over three weeks since Bring Me the Horizon dropped "Parasite Eve." Has it been a success?
Juice Wrld was on his way to being a superstar, and he was taking our world with him.
This week guest Brandy Hadden co-hosts to discuss Emmure's new album Hindsight and Frankie Palmeri's past. From lyrics to merchandise, Frankie used shock value and offensive tactics to bring attention to his music. Where should we stand on this in 2020?
This week Tyler dives into the story of Gym Class Heroes: the band's story, legacy and where things stand today. There was also a ton of bands who dropped new music last week: Neck Deep, Hands Like Houses, Knuckle Puck, Point North, New Found Glory and Make Them Suffer. The former four groups dropped new singles, while the latter two have new albums out.
Four Year Strong should've been a massive band. From major labels to the right record at the right time, everything was primed for success. So what happened? Why did the bottom fall out and they lose all their momentum? The scene turned their backs on Four Year Strong. They failed them. This week on the podcast Tyler breaks down the story of FYS, from the demos, major labels, A Day to Remember beef and everything in between. Rise or Die Trying was fun and Enemy of the World was easycore fully realized, but In Some Way, Shape or Form should've broke the band out of the scene. What went wrong?
It doesn't feel right to do a normal episode this week with another deep dive. With everything happening in the world right now, and subsequently happening in the scene, it's important to take a step back to listen and learn. This episode contains news from last week in the scene, but more importantly resources to educate yourself with.
What are the scene's biggest songs of all time? This week Tyler breaks down the biggest tracks to ever come out of our world based on Hot 100 chartings. Starting with ones that peaked at No. 10 all the way through the only No. 1 the scene ever had. Think you know what it is? Listen to find out. Also this week there is news from Emmure, Attila and I Prevail.
Asking Alexandria have been around for over a decade now and they're still one of the scene's biggest bands. How did they get here? Tyler unpacks their entire history in this episode, starting with Stand Up and Scream to today and their new album, Like a House on Fire. Also, news from The Ghost Inside, Volumes and Kevin Lyman on a possible Warped Tour replacement.
If you don't remember Attack Attack!, you're either lying or just missed out on an entire era of the scene. This band had arguably the most influence on modern metalcore as we knew it at the turn of the decade. Tyler breaks down their entire history from the first demo EP to the shitshow that was Nativ. He also tackles news from Veil of Maya, Capstan, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! and Hayley Williams.
Christopher Drew had the world at has feet during the peak of Never Shout Never. But unlike many other scene stars of yesteryear, he didn't piss it away by being a dumbass, he just didn't want it. This week on the podcast Tyler unpacks the history of Never Shout Never, from MySpace hype to major label bidding wars to a kid who walked away from everything because he just felt burnt by the industry. So what exactly happened? And where is he now? Also news from Machine Gun Kelly, Boston Manor, Dance Gavin Dance and The Used.
Dance Gavin Dance somehow became not only survivors of the scene, but one of the biggest acts in what's left of our world. This week Tyler unpacks how they got to where they are, as well as how they're about to have the biggest moment of their career ripped out from underneath them. We also have news from Falling In Reverse, The Used, The Ghost Inside and Enter Shikari.
Falling In Reverse guitarist Derek Jones died yesterday, April 22. He was 35. In tribute, we put together an additional episode of the podcast this week that runs through Derek's career from his early days in The Agony Scene and A Smile From the Trenches to current day in Falling In Reverse.
This week Tyler unpacks the history of Enter Shikari and how they became the scene's most underrated band of all time. He also discusses news from A Day to Remember, Asking Alexandria, Neck Deep, All Time Low and August Burns Red, as well as looks ahead to next week with a new Dance Gavin Dance album and Falling In Reverse's first No. 1 single at Rock Radio.
