Against Me! have been through just about everything a band can possibly go through, and Laura Jane Grace is perhaps one of the most important figures in alternative music right now. A case could be made for just about any of the band’s records to go into our discography, but we think this is the best. What do you think?

Before we started this podcast we knew that we’d cover Cave In. We collectively agreed that we would talk about ‘Jupiter’. We just didn’t think it’d be this soon.

Given Weaver's love of Bjork, we had a feeling we'd arrive at one of her albums one day. So here we are, talking about 'Vespertine'. A record about love and relationships which is positively brimming with goodness and warmth. Is this her best record though? We're interested to see what people think...

We’re no stranger to gloomy bands here on the pod, but this is perhaps our first dalliance with shoegaze. The Twilight Sad’s debut album is heavy on that and the folk, and a couple of us think it’s their best outing. The remaining third though, is highly unimpressed. Is this their best album?

We demand people listen to this record. It's made many a "best of" list in its time but it still seems to go pretty unsung in our books. Mclusky were a force of nature, and this album captures those moments of frantic, noisy rock music in all their scuzzy glory. Listen. Vote. Do the right thing.

It's a bonus episode! A BONUS EPISODE! We're not going to do this very often, mostly because this was actually made for subscribers only, but we enjoyed this so much we felt it'd make a fine bonus episode! We talk about nu metal, pick three albums we think are important, and ask you guys to vote which one goes into our discography.

Blonde Redhead are so far from metal, that between this episode and the last you may find yourself with a little bit of whiplash. Either way though, we had a lot of time and a lot of love for '23' and we're keen to see what you guys think about.

Meshuggah have been smashing out quality albums for 30 years. However our resident Meshuggah superfan Weaver thinks that this is their crowning achievement. Is this 47 minute long song the best thing they've ever done?

It's part three of our chat with Jonah Matranga. We felt bad for taking up like three hours of his day to do this, but we found out some fascinating things.
Like how Chris Cusack likes Kiss. And how Jonah, Mark and Weaver don't. We try to get to the bottom of this baffling facet of Chris' music taste and along the way we talk about power dynamics in the music industry, the Bay City Rollers, sexual abuse in the music industry and much more. Chris also claims that the best Kiss album is 'Greatest Kiss' and the rest of the boys argue that they simply don't have as many popular songs as people, and Chris, thinks.

We've been showing Sacramento some heavy love recently, and this week we cover yet another explosive act from that fair city. Death Grips have courted controversy and carved their own path, but their debut mixtape remains an absolutely vital piece of music.

‘Carpe Diem’ by Will Haven is a very heavy album. That’s a fact. Also a fact: metal music is 85% of David Weaver’s existence. On this episode we talk about all of that and more, dissecting this weird, heavy, noisy album and asking the vital question we usually ask – should it go into our discography of all time classics?

Our second "In Session" episode is with post-hardcore legend Jonah Matranga. In part two we asked him to pick three records he thinks are unsung classics and we got into an interesting discussion about Neil Young, not giving a fuck about how popular you are, and how KRS-One may very well be some kind of modern day prophet.

It's not an obvious choice, but one of us feels that 'Cool to Be You' by the Descendents is their best album. Of course, not everyone agrees with that, but we do all agree on how this record is a good example of the exact reason this podcast exists - to celebrate unsung classics.

Our first "In Session" episode is with post-hardcore legend Jonah Matranga. In part one we discuss his back catalogue pretty extensively, stretching from the beginnings of Far right up until the present day.

‘Third’ by Portishead is a record which exudes the kind of artistic confidence that only seasoned artists have. It’s also dark. Really dark. We quite liked it, as things go. But should it be in our discography?

You know it. You've probably heard it. You're probably even vaguely familiar with the lore around it, but it's a record that just keeps on giving is responsible for the rise of one of alternative music's most popular, and enduring figures. Is 'The Downward Spiral' the definitive Nine Inch Nails record?

Often described as being a ‘slowcore’ band, there’s no doubt that Low’s 2002 album ‘Trust’ is nothing if not slow. But we think there’s a great deal of compelling, wonderful music to be found on this record. Do you think it should be added to our discography? Listen and vote, and voice your opinion.

If you know it, you know it. But if you don't know it, should you? Does this death metal classic deserve a place in the discography of all time classic albums? Or is has the much imitated sound been improved upon by others?
