Midtown - Save The World, Lose The Girl (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We're saving the world, but losing the girl this week with the debut album from Midtown. Hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey, they were one of the early breakthrough Drive-Thru Records bands that really helped put the label on the map. We've got a lot of history with this band, from the shirts we probably should've bought in a few bigger sizes, to one particularly infamous Midtown headline show that Duncan somehow managed to miss with a ticket in his wallet. We spent some money on Midtown, bu
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here on The Pod Punk Cast, we're so sick of being tired, and so tired of being sick. The reason why? Taking Back Sunday's debut album Tell All Your Friends. When it arrived on Victory Records in 2002, it changed the emo and post-hardcore landscape forever, an instant classic! This was the album we were all so obviously desperate, and desperately obvious for. Plus, a full recap, as we unpack our recent trip to Montreal for the Warped Tour at Parc Jean-Drapeau!

Four Year Strong - Rise or Die Trying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CALLING ALL CARS! CALLING ALL CARS! We're starting the takeover with Four Year Strong's Rise or Die Trying. This record became the blueprint for the 'easycore' subgenre. Driven by the dual-vocals of Alan Day and Dan O'Connor, this album delivers those upbeat, heavy chugging hardcore breakdowns that wrecked us, and damn near killed us when it dropped in 2007! They are a must see at this summer's Warped Tour in Montreal. So dust off the old multi-disc CD shelf stereo, queue up the album, and prepa
Mayday Parade - A Lesson In Romantics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Up next on the Warped Tour lineup is Tallahassee, Florida's own Mayday Parade. They're at the front of the class, and today's subject is A Lesson In Romantics. Not a whole lot we agree on with this one, but their debut album from 2007 is packed with hooks, heartbreak, and song titles that are somehow longer than some of the songs themselves.

Alkaline Trio - Goddamnit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Set your alarms for 6 o'clock, because it's time we discuss Alkaline Trio's debut album, Goddamnit! One of the latest additions to this year's Montreal Warped Tour, they've given us the perfect excuse to book a trip to the City of Festivals this summer. It may not be Halloween yet, but it's always Alky season. Released in 1998 on Asian Man Records, Alkaline Trio gave us what many consider the greatest debut punk album ever made. So, enjoy your day, enjoy the episode, and "don't forget to let you
