This week, we're scratching The Itch to level up! For the first time, The Itch was official press at Riot Fest in Chicago. Aaron was on site seeing shows, interviewing bands, and trying to survive the elements. It was a trial by fire (or mud) as, for the first time, he stepped out from behind his Zoom screen and talked with artists in person, on camera, and on his own. Check in for his report on that experience, as well as the who's who of acts he got to see! This year's fest had some big names at the top, including Twenty One Pilots, Tool, and Alanis Morissette, plus reunions like The Format, regulars like GWAR, Insane Clown Posse, Bad Religion, and Pennywise, and rising rock acts like Sincere Engineer, Teen Mortgage, Vana, and ASAVA. And of course, the debut of William Shatner's new metal band. Who impressed the most? Why is Santigold the coolest person in the world? Did Aaron's shoes survive the muddiest day he's ever experienced? And what did we learn from going viral with a video of Angine de Poitrine? All of this and more in our 2026 Riot Fest recap! Enjoy.

1996 was a great year for me. I had a comfortable day job, I still worked a couple of nights a week at the record stores, and I was the music editor for a local newspaper. This was quite possibly the peak year for live music in my city. Local bands were selling out clubs and releasing great albums, and more national acts were hitting town than ever before. Besides the local upswing, it was a great year for new music. Americana was on the rise, with lauded albums by the likes of Wilco, Golden Smog, Steve Earle, and others. Songwriters such as Patti Smith, Elvis Costello, Vic Chesnutt, and others released surprisingly great albums. And good ol’ punk rock was also on the rise, with fantastic records by Bad Religion, Descendents, and Chixdiggit. Tonight’s show is certainly not a complete rundown of every great album of that year, but it’s a pretty thorough snapshot of those 12 months (along with a couple of mis-tagged 1995 tracks). What record was your favorite of 1996?  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

Let read and listen to Bad Religion's song, “Emancipation of the Mind”, a modern restatement of Enlightenment philosophy, arguing that true freedom begins with intellectual autonomy. It inherits Enlightenment ideals of reason, skepticism, and self‑determination, and extends them into a contemporary context where new forms of mental captivity such as media manipulation, ideological conformity, and passive consumption threaten human agency. In doing so, the song both emerges from Enlightenment thought and calls for its renewal.”

Pop-punk is one of those musical contradictions that somehow makes perfect sense. Punk was supposed to be loud, fast, and rebellious. Pop was all about hooks and mass appeal. But somewhere along the way, the two got together and created one of the biggest movements in alternative rock. In part two, we pick up the story in the early 1990s as grunge begins to fade and bands like Green Day, The Offspring, Rancid, and Bad Religion help bring punk into the mainstream. From the explosion of Dookie and Smash to the rise of the Warped Tour and the global success of Blink-182, we'll look at how pop-punk went from underground clubs to selling millions of records around the world.  We'll also explore the backlash from punk purists, the genre's evolution through the 2000s, and why pop-punk continues to find new generations of fans decades later. Whether you grew up on Green Day and Sum 41 or you're just discovering the genre, this is the story of how punk and pop became one of rock's most unlikely partnerships.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Punk rock comes in a lot of different flavours, but few have had the impact of pop-punk. In Part One of this series, we dig into how a genre that was supposed to be the enemy of pop music ended up borrowing some of its best ideas. From the Ramones and Buzzcocks to Bad Religion, Descendents, Hüsker Dü, and Social Distortion, we'll follow the bands that started mixing punk's speed, attitude, and DIY spirit with melody, hooks, and songs you couldn't get out of your head. We'll also look at the underground scene that helped shape the sound and set the stage for bands like Green Day, Blink-182, and The Offspring to take over the world. It's the story of how punk and pop learned to get along... and changed alternative rock forever.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ontario punk trio Among Legends come out swinging on Lose My Grip. The band's second full-length album, out July 10, 2026, moves fast, hits hard, and rarely lets up, pulling from the melodic urgency of Bad Religion, the road-tested punch of The Flatliners, and the hook-heavy energy that defined southern Ontario punk through the 2000s. Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Matt Gauthier at ARC Recording Studio and This Place Needs A Name, the record leans further into speed, tension, and sharper edges without losing the melodies that got the band here in the first place. That balance shows up immediately across the album's twelve tracks. Lead single “H/A/C/K” came out swinging with tight guitars, biting rhythms, and a heavier sense of frustration running underneath the hooks, while “Floating Here For Years” pulled things inward, trading pure momentum for something more restless and reflective. Together, they pointed toward a record that sounds bigger, louder, and more confident in itself than anything Among Legends have released before. Formed in 2016, Among Legends built their foundation the long way. Self-released EPs, DIY spaces, weekenders, festivals, basement shows, and years spent hauling gear through clubs and bars across Canada and the United States. Their 2022 debut full-length Take Good Care, produced by Siegfried Meier, earned praise from BrooklynVegan, Exclaim!, PunkNews, New Noise Magazine, and Idobi Radio, with BrooklynVegan describing the record as “one ripper after another.” But even then, the band was already heading somewhere else. Recorded in 2019 and delayed until 2022, Take Good Care captured a lineup and sound that no longer fully reflected where Among Legends were going. In the years that followed, lineup changes stripped the band back to its core, with Mitchell Buchanan and Sara Fellin carrying things forward and rebuilding the group into the trio it is today. Rather than slow them down, the change sharpened the focus.  Lose My Grip feels less interested in fitting neatly into modern pop punk and more committed to the kind of melodic punk that sounds raw, immediate, and human. “Our last record came out four years ago, but it was recorded seven years ago. We're not the same band anymore and I think that's evident in the way this record sounds,” says vocalist/bassist Mitchell Buchanan. “Stability has been a hard feeling to find in recent years, and this record covers some of the different experiences that come with instability. It's a lot of looking around and asking ‘how did we get here,' whether that's about the state of our countries, our communities, our relationships, or ourselves.” You can hear that especially on “Go On,” one of the album's strongest tracks and emotional centerpieces. Built around a push-and-pull between vulnerability and avoidance, the song cuts through with lines like “I say I'll come but we both know I won't,” capturing the tension between wanting connection and keeping yourself at arm's length from it. Across the album, relationships drift, routines calcify, and uncertainty hangs overhead, but the songs never stay still long enough to drown in it.

This week, half of us are at the beach enjoying some r n' r, so we thought we'd listen to some r n' r with a beachy vibe. We are pulling the plug… and gasping for air… guitars! Rock artists have been playing acoustic since the very beginning. In fact, most songwriters start the process with an acoustic instrument. There's something about capturing the sound of a song on just wire and wood that has a vulnerable, human feel to it. Dig your toes into the sand, breathe in the salt air, and enjoy these tunes with a frosty beverage. What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Mtv started a series in 1989 called “Unplugged”, and almost every mainstream relevant act started producing acoustic albums or versions of their songs. This week we listen to some artist that you may have never considered as having acoustic interpretations of their songs. Songs this week include: Moon Tooth – “Trust” from Violent Grief: Acoustic Selections (2020) Hawkwind – “PSI Power” from Acoustic Daze (2019) Tora Tora – “Son Of A Prodigal Son” from Unplugged EP (2020) Michael Kiske – “You Always Walk Alone” from Past In Different Ways (2008) MIRADOR – “Fortune's Fate (Reborn At Badon Hill)” from The Gathering At Badon Hill (2026) Junkyard – “Til The Wheels Fall Off (Acoustic Version)” from Rome Is Burning (2020) Bloody Hammers – “Graveyard Waits” from The Acoustic Halloween Special (2025) Testament – “The Legacy (Live)” from Live At The Fillmore (1995) Mercy Beat – “Another Day” from Walk With Me (1999) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

Ep 260 “The CottageCore AR-15” – National Gun Violence Awareness Month (Bullet Poof Bulletins) Celebrating the launch of eco-fiction anti-gun novella Bullet Poof and National Gun Violence Awareness Month, Avis Kalfsbeek brings back beloved Kitty O'Compost with the Bullet Poof Bulletins. Tonight on the Spoke-Easy stage, Kitty O'Compost deconstructs a truly bizarre update from the suburban backyard horticultural circuit. This bulletin satirizes an absolute logistical stir on Magnolia Lane, where a resident attempted a social experiment by bringing a highly customized rifle platform—the CottageCore AR-15—to a neighborhood garden club meeting. Refinished in matte sage green with hand-painted floral engravings and a custom tweed shoulder strap, the weapon was placed right next to heirloom tomato seedlings in an effort to launder an industry of fear by wrapping it in a cozy Pinterest aesthetic. Inspired by the grounding, collaborative themes of Bullet Poof, this episode laughs at this astonishing piece of self-delusion and reminds us that true safety is found when we stop investing in the profit of pain and start building relaxed community connection.

This week on The Metal Maniacs Podcast (Ep 157), host Jay Ingersoll sits down with three‑fourths of heavy post‑hardcore breakout Dog Skull — Brad Jahr (bass), Jackson Filion (guitar), and Chance Reyes (drums) — to talk about life on the road, the grind of DIY touring, and carving a modern sound rooted in underground grit. With Jack (vocals) away this round, the band opens up about everything from their East Coast Tour (4/1 – 4/10) to the writing sessions behind one of Michigan's freshest heavy releases.Dog Skull has been turning heads across the Midwest with their fusion of raw emotion, groove‑driven riffs, and punk energy — a sound fans of Helmet, Bad Religion, and Trapped Under Ice will instantly connect with. Recorded and produced with the care of veterans who know “clean doesn't mean soft,” their self‑titled LP (released July 17, 2025) cements them as a serious force in the heavy underground movement.We dig deep into the band's inception and influences, how each member contributes to the crisp production and tight live chemistry, and what keeps them motivated to chase authenticity in a saturated heavy scene. Expect laughs, road stories, and insight into how these guys balance brutal honesty and unshakable fun in their songwriting.

What do you do when the church — the very community that's supposed to reflect the love of God — becomes a source of real pain? Host Dan Johnson sits down with Scott Bessenecker, author of Bad Religion, Good News: An Honest Guide to Spiritual Disappointment, for an unflinching conversation about church hurt, institutional failure, and the long road toward healing.Drawing on four decades of campus ministry with InterVarsity, Scott shares about being both a victim and participant in the church's sins, the role of self-examination in avoiding the spiral into deconstruction, and why honesty about the church's failures doesn't have to mean abandoning Christian community altogether. He also reflects on his own experience with disappointment with God — including his recovery from a stroke — and what it means to discover that God's presence in grief may be more powerful than miraculous rescue.Whether you've been wounded by a leader, disillusioned by an institution, or are simply trying to maintain an honest and hopeful faith, this conversation offers both clarity and compassion for the journey.IN THIS EPISODEWhat prompted Scott to write Bad Religion, Good NewsBeing both a victim and a participant in the sins of the churchWhy self-examination is essential to navigating disappointment without becoming toxicThe difference between deconstruction and honest disappointmentHow to talk openly about the church's failures without dismissing its goodThe hard work of forgiving an institution that may never apologizeScott's personal experience with a stroke and finding God in grief rather than rescueWhen it's time to leave a church community — and how to do it wellSigns of spiritual hunger in the current generation of young adultsWhat a healthier American church might look like in a decadeGUESTScott Bessenecker is a longtime ministry leader and author who spent four decades with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. His new book, Bad Religion, Good News: An Honest Guide to Spiritual Disappointment, invites readers into honest conversations about the church's failures — and how to find deeper faith on the other side.RESOURCEShttps://heraldpress.com/9781513817644/bad-religion-good-news/https://slbf.org/studioSend us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a couple of friends who swim in the same punk-inspired scenes but whose musics are pretty different: Barry Johnson and Greg Mendez. Johnson is the singer and guitarist for Joyce Manor, the pop-punk/emo/indie-rock/something-something band that's been blasting out short, to-the-point songs for nearly two decades. There's something perfectly economical about everything the band does: Their records often clock in at under 20 minutes, so there's no fat or filler to be found. The latest is being hailed as their best, which is saying something for a band whose chosen genre rarely seems to age well—something Johnson laughs about in this chat. The album is called I Used to Go to This Bar, and it was produced by Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz. Check out the song “I Know Where Mark Chen Lives” right here. The other half of today's conversation, Greg Mendez, takes a Spartan approach to songwriting as well, but his songs are much more quiet and reflective—you'll definitely hear Elliott Smith vibes on his new album, Beauty Land. Mendez has actually been making music nearly as long as Joyce Manor, but their shyness didn't really push through into wider view until a self-titled album in 2023. Now he's ready to take the next leap—this new record is on the Dead Oceans label, which has released records by like-minded souls Phoebe Bridgers, Japanese Breakfast, and Bright Eyes. Check out the song “Gentle Love” from Beauty Land right here. In this conversation, Mendez and Johnson talk about how they first met, about the ups and downs of sequencing an album, and about doing the stream-of-consciousness creative practice called “morning pages,” where you just write whatever pops into your head. Johnson doesn't want you to see his pages, and you'll find out why. Enjoy. 0:00 — Intro 2:47 — Start of Conversation 5:16 — On sequencing records 7:58 — On releasing new music and planning modern album rollouts 9:20 — On the benefits of slower rollouts and appreciating singles 10:58 — On how they became friends 13:52 — On living in New York, and midlife crises 15:42 — On surfing, skating, and Long Beach 19:50 — On discovering punk through skating culture 20:28 — On touring's impact on creativity, and finding inspiration from other musicians 23:08 — On overcoming writer's block, exercising your creativity with age, “morning pages,” and Kurt Cobain's diary 32:21 — On upcoming tour plans and keeping audiences' attention while playing solo 34:14 — On seeing musicians transfix an audience, getting emotional at concerts, and live versions of songs Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Barry Johnson and Greg Mendez for a great chat.

Episode 067: The 24-hour news cycle is spinning faster than a scratched 45, and this week on Six Picks Music Club, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are feeling the vertigo. We're putting down the remote and picking up the needle to discuss how the media is failing us—turning information into infotainment and reality into a ratings game. From the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality to the era of alternative facts, the guys look for the truth hidden between the headlines. The playlist is a front-page spread of sonic skepticism, kicking off with the legendary Gil Scott-Heron reminding us that the real movement happens in the streets, not on the screen. Hüsker Dü provides the frantic energy of a world obsessed with the broadcast, while Public Enemy delivers a scathing "letter" to the tabloids and Bad Religion offers battle-weary reflections from the front lines. Between the cynical satire of Gorillaz and the surreal parody of "Weird Al" Yankovic, it's an episode for the skeptics, the truth-seekers, and anyone who's ever wanted to throw their television out the window—just make sure you keep your speakers on.     Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site
