Metal metal metal! This week the boys take a hard(core) left turn and cover the 2005 Unsung EP by The Chariot. Kylan goes from high energy to smooth and sultry (read: trying to not wake a baby up) and TJ

Hey Jammers! Kylan and TJ are in rare form on this third volume, in which they consider Our Newest Album Ever!, by upbeat, slap-happy ska machine: Five Iron Frenzy. Should you pick it up, pick it up, pick it up? Or should this album remain hidden away in the history books of the mid-90s ska-naissance (or the brain of an overly caffeinated middle-schooler)? Is “Oh, Canada” racist? Does this album c...
