SLIPKNOT is a way to tie a rope. And it’s the band we’re covering today for our final Simply THE FEST episode as part of our marathon. We state it in the intro, and we state it on the show - our guest this week is fitting because they’re in the same band as our very first guest on our show, so we’re very excited to have BRIAN KOMATZ or PLASTIC FLAMINGOS here with us this week. Tune in and find out...

If the intro to the episode doesn’t give it away, the entirety of our coverage is greatly dependent on the narcissism of one Stephan Jenkins, whom I’m sure will Google his name and find this description, send us a cease and desist, and then forget that we’re qualified as an educational program. If that paragraph confuses you, Welcome to today’s episode where we’re covering the one* and only** THIR...

What do any of these questions have to do with today's episode? That's the topic - everything has to do with BECK, that musician that everyone seems to love and never seems to understand. Even better - we brought our friend Dank...

You requested it. We requested it. Other beings of the universe requested it. But it took Mike Terry of THE JUKEBOX ROMANTICS to bring us to the point of covering the one and only CREED! Join us for this episode as we surface from the soundstage of the “My Sacrifice” music video and dive right back in the water, because oh dear lord, there’s so much to cover with the band that sold way more albums...

There's something that can be said about one of the highest selling Canadian artists of the last 23 years still being in her 30's and beloved, seemingly, everywhere. There's also something that can be said about a wide conspiracy stating she was replaced by another women due to the pressures of fame, thanks to a blog in Brazil. AVRIL LAVIGNE is the subject of our episode this week, fea...

What do you get when you have a lead singer with more beautiful hair than anyone in the world, floating freely on it's own in the wind, practically sentient in it's own right? You get a gorgon...and COHEED AND CAMBRIA! Today is our deep dive into one of the most, dare we say it, UNDERRATED bands on the planet, with folklore that runs deeper than most caverns and caves. We're talking my...

Through the many years, with many awards and sales, Iron M...

If you or a loved one is feeling down and out, and you're in need of counseling, pleas...

"What else do you want your audience to know?" is always on here before we type a band description. About MGK? There's a good bit you should know, especially if you consider yourself a fan. I would honestly suggest some therapy after this episode. There's something wrong with that boy. Join us for this week's EXCRUCIATING episode as we cover the wanna be rapper/pop-punker MAC...

Has it been six months already? It sure has, and we can't thank everyone enough for their support for our show.

Special thanks to Nicholas Tamagna for the input on this one, we hope you enjoy this week's episode on MOZ...
