Sponsor: My Thanks to Chief State

Chief State

My thanks to Chief State for sponsoring the website this week. I always like when a band sponsors the website and then I read the comments and people are like, “Oh yeah, this rules,” or “I’ve been playing this EP nonstop.” It always makes me smile.

The band just released their new EP Tough Love via Mutant League Records. The album is up for stream on Apple Music, Spotify, and available for purchase on Amazon.

They also released a video for the lead single “Reprise.”

Liner Notes (April 3rd, 2020)

light bulbs

This week I fill out my Early 2000s Emo/Pop-Punk Bands bracket and go through all the matchups and my picks. I discuss the upsets, the never had a chances, and why I went with a slightly different champion than you might expect based upon the bands involved. I also share some articles I enjoyed this week, go through music and entertainment I consumed, and share a playlist of ten songs I liked. This week’s supporter Q&A post can be found here.

If you’d like this newsletter delivered to your inbox each week (it’s free and available to everyone), you can sign up here.

Joel Madden Talks With Forbes

Good Charlotte

Joel Madden of Good Charlotte talked with Forbes about life in quarantine:

I feel like the only message I have that matters right now is that we are really all in this together. The only thing we can do is hope for the best for one another, help each other when we can, take care of our families, and hang in there until we are on the other side of this. If we can all do our part and hopefully reach out to one another when we need support, I think when we get through this we are all stronger.
