Ep 8: Phantom Planet - Phantom Planet Is Missing (1998) 16.01.2026 25:08

Zack, Ryan, and Eric listened to Phantom Planet's debut album, which did not include the one Phantom Planet song everyone knows oh so well. Come along for the ride, albeit a short one. And enjoy an episode that doesn't really end, so much as cut off. Mostly because we lost someone's audio for the ending. But also, because you probably won't listen to the end anyway. Support th...

Ep 3: The Flying Lizards - The Flying Lizards (1979) 03.04.2023 36:32

Episode 3 dives into the experimental New Wave band The Flying Lizards. We discuss their odd music, which actually has some compelling aspects (but not many), the bizarre lead vocalist, and maybe—just maybe—finally figure out the name of our podcast. Money is what the Flying Lizards want, but Debut Review is what you want! It's another fun episode as always, so grab some headphones and check...

Ep 2: Bruce Springsteen - Greeting from Asbury Park, N.J. (1973) 16.03.2023 45:10

Who are we talking about? The BOSS, that's who. Obviously, this needs no introduction. What it does need is a disclaimer. Look, we are/were figuring out how to record these things as we went. There are some sound issues with this one. We know all about them. Just sit back and listen to three fellas wax poetic about the street poetic Bruce Springsteen. It's a good listen, we promise. Enjo...
