2019 WAS 10 YEARS LONG

WHAT IF YOU LIKE, MADE EMO MUSIC, BUT NOT SAD?

THE DREAM ON THE 90'S IS ALIVE

Alan asks Kyle Lord of the Rings questions and they talk about playing with He Is Legend. Less said here the better. Just put it in your ear holes!

LORD OF THE LEGEND

It's the "meeting the mentor" part of the hero's journey in Kyle and Alan's life. Metalcore, the best? the worst? the mediocre? yes! Breakdowns are dumb. Crowd killing is wack. It's a musical genera equivalent of the Incel subreddit and we are talking about it!

BREAKDOWNS AND NOODS

Surprise! It's the angsty white bois from the burbs getting ready to break stuff. It's a Nu metal playlist review. Kyle and Alan were young enough to be all about that life in the late 90's and decided to dive in and find out what it was that they loved about the genera.

NU NU NU

Like a David Foster Wallace Novel. Or maybe just that bio pic with Marshall and Lex Luther driving around trying to sell books maybe? They eat junk food and pontificate about what makes up the quintessential American experience. Much like the authors very specific writing style, many songwriters have identifiable qualities to their work. Mister "Red House Painter" himself, with his voice as smooth as silk and his songwriting like a midwest lullaby drenched in Americana fits the bill. Kyle and Alan find out what makes Sun Kil Moon one of the best bands of all time. so SHUT UP! and listen up! 

KILLIN' IT

All these feelings! What are Alan and Kyle to do with all the things they feel? When your teenage romance ends and the world is falling apart around you what is one to do? Run to the arms of their father, or father analogue (Mike Kinsella). Maybe not the Founding Father of emo, but the Abe Lincoln for sure. He's not a household name, but his music has shaped the sound and defined the content since the ancient times of the 1990's. Let's talk about American Football.

EMOS DADDY

NIN? Ever since Kyle and Alan saw Brie Larson wearing that shirt in Captain Marvel they have been hard at working finding out what the hell a "Nine Inch Nails" is. Turns out the famous film composer Trent Reznor, has a side project, and while it never really took off in the main stream in any meaningful way, Kyle and Alan were able to track down an actient piece of industrial-rock history and listen to it. Get out your acid wash jeans and put your terminator shades on and let's talk about NIN. We're Back!
