It’s no secret that teenagers feel feel every emotion with the intensity of a thousand suns. Maybe your mom took your PS1 away because you threw your pizza rolls at your little sister for telling your crush that you write her name over and over in your college ruled notebook, maybe you drank the last of your big brother’s Sunny D and he held you down and gave you charley horses until you cried, maybe your dad just told you your aunt is moving in and your band that’s “just about to make it big” has to practice at someone else’s house or break up, or maybe I’m just hella projecting right now. Either way, you’re mad. You’re PISSED! So you grab your blue 4GB iPod Mini and hit the road by foot, determined to leave your family AND this stupid town behind. What 10 songs are your bringing along with you? That’s the midnight anger walk mixtape draft….

Helena is one of those songs you need to listen to in your underwear on the kitchen floor as you feel the full force of gravity pulling you closer to the center of the Earth. Every millisecond of this song is packed with so much emotion it’s taken every bit of the 16 years we’ve had with it to feel the full weight of this tune.
This week the guys break down the music video scene for scene and do their best to appreciate every frame of it’s incredible story and performance. A lot went into the making of this video, and luckily the band and director Marc Webb documented a lot of the creative process and uploaded it to YouTube for fans to appreciate for years to come.

Your Favorite Weapon is a really unique album in Brand New’s discography, and it holds a lot of great tunes within. A far cry from their later work, this pop punk record remains a favorite for many Brand New fans including Tom and Pat.
Many of these songs still hold many great and terrible memories within, and they’re all revealed within this episode! From bad relationships, romances that never were, radical teen angst, and long nights in Tom’s mom’s basement trying to figure out how to write songs like Jesse with their high school band.

Every now and then you’ll come across a song that was written for you and you alone. Nothing has ever made more sense than the lyrics, the vibe is tuned just to your frequency, and the emotions hit like a ton of bricks. Detroit by Fireworks is one of those songs for Tom. The angst was high through the summers of 2009 and 2010, and Fireworks, a pair of headphones, and a fixed gear bike helped make sense of the world. This episode is full of nostalgic tales of midnight rides, anger walks after mom was being a total B, and even some middle school bullying.
