The announcement of the When We Were Young Festival will be one of those moments we look back on in 20 years that are paired with a “where were you when"?" The millisecond that flyer hit Twitter, everyone went nuts. It was pure, unadulterated joy for like, 20 minutes… and then the questions started. And at last, the memes rolled in.
Wait, how many bands? HOW many stages? In 24 hours? Who the hell is Car Seat Headrest and what are they doing on this bill?
After a few minutes of moaning and groaning about festival experiences in the past, we absolutely GUSH about all the bands we love on the bill and we draft which songs we want to hear our favorite artists play at WWWY, even though we aren’t going. Maybe…

Everyone loves to talk about bands’ debut albums, but I think it’s about time we give some sophomore releases the credit they deserve. This week we draft our favorite sophomore albums, but there’s a twist… we also have to pick the song we think represents the album best. Not only does it leave a ton of room for debate, but it makes the playlist possible, so make sure to check them out on Apple Music and Spotify.

As Underøath releases their new album “Voyeurist” today, we take some time to discuss one of their early bangers, Writing on the Wall their album Define the Great Line. But not before we present your 2022 ScorchFest winner, Patrick McDonagh for his FLAMING hot take on Green Day and the listenability of their entire catalog.
In this episode Tom tells a story about trying to hand out demos to bands on national tours, trying to steal a smooch in a hotel room, Pat is haunted by Pamalhorese, and Tom has a story about trap doors. Really we did everything we could to not talk about this music video because it’s horrifying.
