Episode #71: Jordan Black of Like Pacific
Thursday Dec 02, 2021
Thursday Dec 02, 2021
Like Pacific has gone through trials and tribulations to record their newest album, 'Control My Sanity', during the peak of the pandemic. Jordan and his other members would send audio recordings through their phones to get the album completed when going to the studio individually. However, they have persevered through that process and the album will be out on December 3rd. Spoiler alert: "Ketamine Jesus" was originally a one-minute song and now it has been written into a three-minute BANGER!

Friday Nov 12, 2021
It's only been a year since we last spoke to the dudes in Seafloor. Within that year they have dropped their sophomore album, "In Cinemascope with Stereophonic Sound', and signed with Pure Noise Records! Fans have been anticipating this album for quite some time which they delivered perfectly. We go over how diverse the album is while catching up with some of the prominent shows they have been playing. Those shows include performing with Strawberry Girls and Hawthorne Heights. Oh yeah, and we go over cryptocurrencies that Tim is investing in slightly. Make sure to spin their newest record on all streaming platforms.

Episode #68: Highwind (Underground Spotlight)
Friday Oct 29, 2021
Friday Oct 29, 2021
No one can deny this new wave of pop punk has been absolutely killing it and Highwind from New Jersey is no exception. If you’re a fan of Homesafe and Action/Adventure I would check out this band! Vocalist of Highwind, Chris Russo has the perfect pop punk tone to keep you wanting to listen. Right in the intro of the episode you can get a sneak peak of “never sitting pretty” which will absolutely blow you away and dare I say turn off the podcast just to listen to more? Thankfully, you don’t need to wait long for some more new music on 11/13 with their song “Crashing, Burning”

This episode we sit down with Tyler from Youth Fountain an emo/pop punk band all the way from the West Coast of Canada. On the risk of sounding mundane we have ANOTHER incredible band from none other than Pure Noise Records (yes we’re starting to see a trend). On this episode we discuss new music and their new album. Also, how it feels to be touring next year for the first time in the states since the pandemic. Youth Fountain is an absolute incredible band with incredible talent, who has only worked hard and seen success from their efforts. We’re extremely excited to see what this band is going to do in 2022! Make sure to check out their album releasing on Pure Noise Records on 11/5/2021.

Episode #66: Chris LoPorto of Can‘t Swim
Friday Oct 15, 2021
Friday Oct 15, 2021
Another Pure Noise Records band we just can’t stop talking about. Even with every album sounding so different from the one before they still continue to thrive and surprise their fans with new music that everyone will love. Their new album ‘Change of Plans’ lives up to the expectations and even goes beyond. We got to sit down and talk with Chris, lead vocalist of Can’t Swim to discuss the new record, making music during covid, and got the chance to deep dive into the meaning behind the lyrics of their most popular songs. Watch out for ‘Change of Plans’ dropping on Pure Noise Records this month on October 22nd, and make sure to check them on tour with Silverstein and The Plot In You starting in November!

Episode #64: Magnolia Park
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
Tuesday Oct 05, 2021
Another prime example of an underground band taking advantage of the TikTok algorithm. Magnolia Park's success on the platform did not happen by accident. They have established a refreshing pop-punk sound and invested in making their content look/sound just as professional as their recent mixtape, 'Dream Eater'. Jared takes us through the band's early journey and explains how they got to where they are now. (Spoiler Alert) They have all quit their day jobs and signed to Epitaph Records. It won't be long before their music is being repeatedly played on the radio. Trust us.
