We’ll be honest, we had originally planned a somewhat lighthearted episode with Steve Sladkowski, guitarist in Canadian punk outfit PUP, and then the Robb Elementary School shooting happened. So while we do open with a bit of NBA playoffs talk, we ended up having a raw discussion about gun violence and how it’s a uniquely American problem. This was difficult and emotional and we share the frustration so many of you feel regarding inaction at the national level.Please do be sure to give Steve a follow here: https://twitter.com/sladkowAnd follow PUP here: https://twitter.com/puptheband This is a public episode.

30 episodes and 4 poll nominations later, Drowning's Pool magnum opus "Sinner" finally gets a review and it turns out it's not a moment too soon, as this one is a banger. Amidst talk of Bryan undergoing a personal rebrand, the boys do a rebrand of their own as they talk about originally disliking "Bodies" and realize during the work for this episode that no, it's actually one of the best nu-metal songs ever. And the rest of the album follows suit, as we thoroughly enjoy it all and it makes us realize Dave Williams was a true talent lost too soon. He seemed like a hell of a cool guy, too. That said, at least we have this record still and it packs a wallop and we dissect it all. If you want some more of us two cool guys, you can head on over to patreon.com/thepodkast, where $4/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. Last month, Steve Sladkowski from PUP joined us to talk about one of the truly bizarre contributions to the nu-metal canon, Fieldy's solo instrumental album "Bassically". Yeah, that's the real title. It was a ton of fun and we also have a great Discord and two short singles episodes every month, so check it out!
