  • 99 - Ep078 - Invented by Jimmy Eat World

    Happy 4 year birthday to the podcast! As per tradition, we do a Jimmy Eat World record every year and we've made our way to the 2010 album Invented by the kings of emo from Arizona. This record definitely had a tough task of following four PERFECT albums in a row from Jimmy Eat World (Clarity, Bleed American, Futures, Chase This Light), and we'll admit it was hard for it to live up its predecessor. But - spoiler alert - the whole album is a bit of a "grower, not a show-er" for us. What do you think?

  • 98 - Ep077- Stick And Stone by New Found Glory

    In this episode of "Finding Emo," we dive into New Found Glory's iconic album "Sticks and Stones." Celebrating its 20th anniversary, we explore everything from the album's production with Neil Avron to the cameos from the likes of Mark Hoppus on the album. We'll share why tracks like "My Friends Over You" have left a lasting mark on the punk scene and what made New Found Glory different than other pop-punk bands. Join us for a mix of nostalgia, analysis, and behind-the-scenes insights into one of the early 2000s' defining punk rock albums.

  • 97 - Ep076 - Five Score and Seven Years Ago by Relient K

    Relient K nailed it with their follow up to their breakout album, Mmhmm. Five Score takes what worked about the previous album and gets even more ambitious - specifically ending the album with an 11 minute epic. We think they strung together a perfect three records with this sandwiched right inbetween MmHmm and Forget and Not Slow Down.

    00:00:00 Intro

    00:01:57 Quick history of the album

    00:35:08 Track 4 :: The Best Thing

    00:44:20 Track 5 :: Forgiven

    01:35:54 Does it hold up? Is it their best record? Is it their most important record?

  • 96 - Ep075 - Paramore's self-titled

    Hayley Williams is the G.O.A.T. Yeah, we said it. Now, listen to us say it for 2 hours straight.

    After the departure of the brothers Farrow, I don't think any of us imagined we'd be getting this album. But it turned out Hayley Williams' pipes weren't Paramore's only secret weapon, because Taylor and Jeremy also kicked their musicianship to a higher gear, and we'd argue the band was better off in the long-run letting Taylor take over all guitar work. Their 2013 release went on to be the band's first platinum album, and gave us the inescapable classic "Ain't It Fun", which we'd argue is one of the best songs of the twenty-teens.

    They also managed to make the only album with interlude tracks worth a damn, so there's that.

  • 95 - Ep074 - Dog Problems by The Format

    We're back!!! We took some time off, but we're back to our regularly scheduled programming. Thanks for sticking around!

    What a weird little gem of a 70s record this album was in a sea of the giant drums and guitars of 2006. The Format's sophomore effort sees the beginnings of what would become Nate Ruess'' next project, fun., with Jack Antonoff. That obviously went on to be a huge success, but if you haven't listened to this one, you absolutely should. It's a hell of an album, and we're sad we didn't get more from The Format.
