"Sell-out" was a phrase tossed around in the 1990s whenever an indie or small-label band jumped to a major record label. Among the most surprising were Bad Religion because their guitarist Brett Gurewitz owned the label they had released their first seven albums on Epitaph Records. While sell-outs were accused of trading integrity for money, Bad Religion's eighth album "Stranger Than Fiction" makes the case that not only was the jump a good move, but helped kick-start the pop-punk takeover of 1994 along with Green Day and The Offspring, who released million-selling albums the same year in "Dookie" and "Smash," respectively. Thanks to a re-recording of "21st Century (Digital Boy)," a song the band was unhappy with the previous studio version, they had a proper radio and MTV single to expose the suburban masses around the United States to a headier lyrical approach backed by sugar-sweet harmonies.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Incomplete 25:23 - 21st Century (Digital Boy) 30:46 - Stranger Than Fiction 38:39 - Infected Outro - The Handshake   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

While the late 80's were the high water mark for overproduced hair bands, there was an undercurrent flowing below the mainstream popularity which would surface in the 90's as the punk revival.  Los Angeles-based Bad Religion is a group which would not only benefit from that revival, but many consider the band to be a founder of the movement.  The band formed in 1980 and released a couple of albums before going on hiatus in 1983 and splitting up shortly thereafter.  After a slowly getting back together in 1986, they released their third album entitled "Suffer."  While on tour promoting that album, the band began work on their fourth album, No Control.The band for this album was Greg Graffin on lead vocals, Greg Hetson on guitar, Brett Gurewitz on guitar and backing vocals, Jay Bentley on bass and backing vocals, and Pete Finestone on percussion.  Building this album while on tour gave it a fast and high energy feel, with the band reverting to a hardcore punk style.While undeniably punk, Bad Religion has a more melodic sound than many of their punk predecessors.  They also exhibit solid, significant lyrics, and utilize three-part vocal harmonies that are not normally associated with the genre.  The idea of this group is to emphasize action, and living in the moment.Friend of the show (and John Lynch's better half) Heather Lynch brings us this hallmark of the punk revival because it is the album that introduced her to punk rock. Change of IdeasThe lead-off track for the album clocks in at 55 seconds, making it onto Loudwire's top ten list of "Greatest Songs Under One Minute Long."  The concept in Graffin's lyrics is that we need to get away from ideas that trap us in fear and theory.Big BangThis song was penned by guitarist Brett Gurewitz.  The lyrics are about how folks are searching for something in science or religion without really living their lives.  "Big bang, big crunch.  You know there's no free lunch.  Kneel down and pray, here comes your judgment day."No ControlThe title track is a sonic trip to the mosh pit.  We think we have things in hand, but everything fades away very soon, and we are powerless to control it.I Want to Conquer the WorldWe all have thought at times that the world would be a better place if we could just take over for a while.  Gurewitz reflects on this in this piece, and wonders what we are doing here and now to make things a little better.  "I want to conquer the world.  Give all the idiots a brand new religion, put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil.  Promote equality in all of my decisions."YouThis is a fast, angry song. "And you! painted my entire world but I don't have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled.  And I won't forget it." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Two Step Mamau by Wayne Toups & Zydecajun (from the motion picture "Steel Magnolias" )This southern film was had an all star cast and showcased the talents of a young Julia Roberts. STAFF PICKS:Sold Me Down the River by the AlarmWayne's staff pick reminds us of Power Station's "Bang the Gong."  It made it to number 50 on the Billboard charts, but it was prominent on rock stations at the time.  It is about a lovesick guy who got his heart broken.  The Alarm is from Wales, but is often compared to Ireland's U2.Let the Day Begin by The CallRob brings us the title track from the Call's sixth studio album.  It is a positive song with a shuffle beat.  It was used as the campaign theme song for Al Gore in 2000.  The band formed in 1980 in Santa Cruz.The Living Years by Mike & the Mechanics John Lynch's staff pick is Mike Rutherford's (bassist from Genesis) band, formed in 1985.  The song is a wistful tune about missing the opportunity to truly connect with a father while he was alive.  This is the title track from their second album, released in 1988.We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy JoelHeather features a song with 118 historical references in this fast-paced song.  The idea of the track comes from a conversation Joel had with Sean Lennon about how difficult it is to be a young person in the times.  Joel thought about how each generation has its issues, and pointed out some of the troubles from earlier decades. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Proliferous Souls by PestilenceWe haven't covered this Dutch death metal band, but we remedy that with this instrumental out at the time.

Listening back to it now, it's hard to believe that Bad Religion's seventh studio album - 1993s 'Recipe For Hate' - was at the time considered a polarizing record that many hardcore fans felt was a sell-out. 30 years later, it's clear this was a band at the top of their game - maturing and expanding musically while still delivering ferociously intelligent songs about class, religion and navigating a treacherous path towards the 21st century. Our guest, personal trainer and Taekwon-Do Studio owner Aaron Fruitstone, makes the case that their brand of cerebral punk is as presciently valid now as it was when he was an angry teen. "Well madness reigned and paradise drowned When Babel's walls came crashing down Now the echoes roar for a story writ That was hardly understood And never any good." Songs featured in this episode: Recipe For Hate (Live Hollywood Palladium, 2004) - Bad Religion; Strike First - Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson; No Control, Only Entertainment - Bad Religion; White Riot - The Clash; Commando - Ramones; Recipe For Hate, Kerosene - Bad Religion; Vigil Smile - Claw Hammer; American Jesus - Bad Religion; Porch - Pearl Jam; Portrait Of Authority - Bad Religion; House Of Wolves - My Chemical Romance; Wichita - Karen Landau and Greg Leisz; Man With A Mission, All Good Soldiers, Watch It Die - Bad Religion; Still In Hollywood - Concrete Blonde; Struck A Nerve - Bad Religion; Harder Than You Think - Public Enemy; My Poor Friend Me - Bad Religion; Growing Up - Fall Out Boy; Lookin' In - Bad Religion; Kids Of The Black Hole - Adolescents; Don't Pray On Me - Bad Religion; Sorrow - Greg Graffin (Live acoustic); Modern Day Catastrophists, Skyscraper, Stealth, Skyscraper (Piano version) - Bad Religion

I curse the day that I was born And all the sorrow in this world Let me take you to the hurting ground Where all good men are trampled down Just to settle a bet that could not be won Between a prideful father and his son Will you guide me now for I can't see A reason for the suffering and this long misery What if every living soul could be upright and strong? Well then I do imagine There will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more When all soldiers lay their weapons down Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns Or when the only true messiah rescues us From ourselves it's easy to imagine There will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more There will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more Yeah there will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more  Submit Corrections Thanks to james pobog, Fxyprncess004 for correcting these lyrics.

Strange times we're living in. We no longer have any access to the podcasting or editing studios at our university, so this may be farewell to this incarnation of our podcast. We're very sad. BUT, have no fear. We are here to replace your human contact during your quarantine. It'll feel like you're hanging out with your friends (if you have any). This one went off the rails, folks. Our initial topic was "media that brings you back" (specifically something that affected you deeply during your formative years of middle school and high school). We wound up talking about Ariana Grande (there was a photo of her in the public studio), video games, music, punk rock, Scott Pilgrim, and how much we hate Wendy Williams and love Terry Crews. Watch out for 24:15 when David whips out his Juul in our school studio–cause he's wicked cool like that. So kick back, feel free to zone in and out. You won't miss anything.

Steve’s absolutely furious this week because he’s got a cold and is surely just a cough away from certain death. Remfry feels fine (thanks for asking) although he is slightly perturbed by the colour of Steve’s toilet seat. Despite these debilitating circumstances, neither are discouraged from talking about some of the most exciting new music in the alternative sphere, which this week takes the form of reviews of albums by Sick of it All, Toska and Sylvaine. Remfry headed across to Oxford to see Idles continue to take the country by storm, whilst Steve ventured to London’s Roundhouse to see Pixies play Surfer Rosa and Come On Pilgrim in full and they both had fairly different views of Turnstile’s show at House of Vans. Elsewhere new songs from Slipknot and While She Sleeps are discussed and in place of trade-off this week, Steve and Remfry pick their Top Five albums from Epitaph, the legendary American independent record label setup by Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz in 1980.

Named after the band's 2007 hit, "Secret Weapon", the brew is a delicious amber lager brewed in the "left-coast common" style. Super easy-going with a full-flavored malt backbone and a clean hop kick on the finish, the recipe is a true collaborative effort between the Silver City brew team and band members Mike, Tom, and Yuri, who were heavily involved in its development, adding their own personal tastes and flavor preferences.

Mike Buzzard is a Design Manager on the UX Community and Culture team at Google where he works on shaping, resourcing, supporting, and guiding a range of programs and projects that are designed to ensure the health and success of UX at Google. He also recently helped design the first of its kind undergraduate degree in User Experience Design at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). He’s currently working with other design leaders to elevate the craft of design in emerging design cities and is an investor and advisor to many awesome companies. Previously, Mike co-founded the design agency Cuban Council with his friends and collaborators, Toke Nygaard and Michael Schmidt. They created a company that could focus on making great things the way they thought it should be made. In their 10 year run, they were able to design cutting edge digital product design solutions for companies like Facebook, Google, Zendesk, Rdio, Quora, Evernote, and Epitaph Records. "It's hugely important to understand what you're capable of contributing and being surprised with the outcome when you partner with someone that brings a different aspect to the work.... When you collaborate with people and get their input and perspective it can be extraordinary and that's what gets me out of bed every day." Back in day as a “Creative Developer”, he helped usher in early generations of web designers and digital product designers through his commitment and contributions to sites like k10k.net, newstoday.com, designiskinky.net, and many more. On this episode we discuss: How Mike helps evangelize, elevate, and grow design at Google by working with a wide array of design teams, design leadership, business units, partners, and agencies. What it was like doing web design back in the old school days when folks were hacking art and code to make unique web site and discovering the vast opportunities. Remember pixel fonts? The story of building Newstoday.com. His experience being hired by Brett Gurewitz from Bad Religion (one of his personal heros) to redesign Epitaph Record’s. How Cuban Council was started, how they grew, and why they eventually closed the doors. Why collaboration and a perspective of value is important to doing great work, and why it's important to always be sharing. Why designers needing to trust and believe that we’re “doing what’s right for people most of the time” and that before being able to deliver a argument that's convincing and compelling, you have to be confident. The story about a time when a young Mark Zuckerberg asked him to define design while they were working on the Facebook Logo.

Doug Marks is a well known and respected music attorney for the famous start up record company, Epitaph Records. Epitaph has represented a plethora of music giants such as Bad Religion (guitarist Brett Gurewitz started the label), Weezer, Social Distortion, The Matches, just to name a few. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaph_Records.) Because Epitaph is such a huge success story in the music industry and its beginnings so humble, the folks I know in the record business referred to Epitaph's start up success as “The new kids on the block.” In other words, they really made a huge impact when they appeared on the music scene, had a lot of heads turn their way out of respect when they arrived. In this podcast, Doug and I share some time chatting about Epitaph, their amazing success story, some of the bands with the label as well as an item or two a bit off the charts. Take a listen. It's a fun one…. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-who-are-you-podcast/support
