You may have had to wait a few extra weeks for a new episode of Encore, but that doesn’t come close to the eight year wait for a new album from Brand New. But, it’s here, and we’re gonna talk all about it. I am joined this week, once again, by special guest Drew Beringer to break down Science Fiction. We talk about our history with the band, our thoughts on their catalog, and do a track-by-track through the new album. We discuss the band’s place in the music scene, why they resonate so much with fans, and argue how the new album stacks up in their discography.
There’s never been a band quite like Brand New, and we may never see anything quite like them, or their rabid fanbase, again. I hope you enjoy our deep dive as much as we did recording it.
Former member of Twenty One Pilots, Chris Salih, is on the latest episode of the aptly named “Twenty One Pilots Podcast.”
Sainte’s Tay Jardine is the latest guest on the Rock Sound Podcast:
I didn’t realise how important that break was for me mentally and physically. I decided to take that time and work a lot on my voice, so the physical time off was incredible for that and then just mentally to be like a real person and not be on the road all the time was just really fun and eye-opening for me.
Pod Save America have announced a nationwide tour of live shows.
If anyone sees them ask if I can redesign their website for them.
Knuckle Puck are guests on the latest Rock Sound Podcast. Apparently they re-recorded a bunch of the album after not liking the first group of songs:
None of us were really like psyched on it. Usually when you go in to record, it’s one of my favourite parts of being in this band – when you record it’s the real deal and you just get this feeling, man. But for some reason it just wasn’t there this time – the first time around.
It was an odd feeling because the songs were really good but it just didn’t measure up for some reason, none of us were psyched. So we thought about it for two months and then re-did them – we both changed and kept a lot, and now we’re psyched on them! It’s been a rollercoaster of emotion and kind of crazy.
State Champs are on the latest episode of the Rock Sound podcast. They confirm they’ll be writing some with All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth again on their upcoming album.
Blake Schwarzenbach of Jawbreaker is on the first episode of the Missing Words podcast.
In our premiere episode, we discuss the relationship between nostalgia, reunions, and coming back to artistic creations after quite some time during these not-so-optimistic times.
Why exactly do certain records get dismissed by one generation only to find a whole new one appreciating it for different reasons? Why do we want bands to come back so we can experience something we may have missed being a part of?
John Mayer is on the latest Billboard “Pop-Shop” podcast. On the show he mentions that he thinks Paramore released the best rock record so far this year.
I loved this podcast from Bill Simmons, Jim Miller, and Bryan Curtis on the evolution of ESPN and their past and future. There’s some really interesting stories and tidbits about the company and where they made mistakes and missteps over the years.

On this week’s episode of Encore I am once again joined by special guest Drew Beringer. This week we are doing a deep dive on the new album from Manchester Orchestra. The album, A Black Mile to the Surface, comes out on July 28th, so you can decide if you wanna hear all our thoughts on the album now or wait until you’ve heard it for the first time. We walk through each song on the album, so expect “spoilers.” And, we’re both pretty excited about this one.

On this week’s episode of Encore I am joined once again by special guest Craig Manning. This week our main topic is all about the best albums released in 2017 … so far. As we hit the midway mark of the year, it’s time for our annual tradition of discussing what albums we’ve fallen in love with during the first six months, what didn’t make the list, what we were anticipating and how those stacked up, and all that jazz. (There’s also a rant about movie theaters at the beginning because some people can’t put their phones away.)
What albums have you loved this year so far? We’d love to hear from you and see if there’s something new for us to discover as well. As always, thanks for listening.
