Science Fiction (Encore Episode 152)

Encore 152
Jason Tate

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.

Knuckle Puck on Rock Sound Podcast

Knuckle Puck

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.

Blake Schwarzenbach on Missing Words Podcast

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?

A Black Mile to the Surface (Encore Episode 151)

Encore 151
Jason Tate

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.

The Best of 2017 … So Far (Encore Episode 150)

Encore 150
Jason Tate

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.
