Episode 210: Scale the Summit, Parkway Drive, Gloryhammer, Ritual Killer 2015 Album Reviews

You’re Doing It Wrong

What’s interesting this week is that album that both of us agree is kind of middle-of-the-road is the one that actually gets it the most right. The first reviewed album gets it’s mostly right, but left one of us wanting more. One gets it’s so wrong, we actually spend about 20 minutes talking about it (sorry…kinda…). And the other is just blah. Funny how that works out….

Episode 106: Man Down!

While most of you may not notice the change, the inevitable has happened…the one and only Rock(jock) has officially retired from The Sideshow. While he most likely rear his ugly head every once and a while, he will be intentionally missing from future episodes. So, that means you guys are stuck with Nick and Brian steering the ship, trying to keep course. Correcting course from the end of last week’s show, we now have our Internet connections in working order, and we pick up where we left off. We also bring you three additional album reviews…and music for all of them! AND we have two more live reviews. AAAND…no, wait..that’s it.
