Episode 129: This Sh*t’s Deep

What is Hardcore? How old does something have to be to be “old school”?  Do guitarists really need their own side-projects?  These are just some (or maybe all) of the deep, heavy questions we take a stab at in this week’s episode.  Do you think you know the answers or just want to throw your two cents in?  Then leave a comment and get in not he conversation.

Episode 23: All Ages to Enter, 21 to Drink

In the comments of last week’s episode, some listeners came up with ideas for a SideShow drinking game.  We LOVE the idea, and add a few more rules during this episode (official rules coming soon).  While this idea comes more into fruition, we also begin to discuss what proper etiquette is/should be at shows since apparently mall-trolling, Hot Topic-loving pre-pubescnents have no idea how to conduct themselves in public after they leave the min-van their mommy dropped them off in. We also take a look at the effect of side-project bands.  All of this, plus album reviews and previews await you in Episode 23.

P.S. The side-project Brian couldn’t think of was Dimension Zero.  He realized it as the show was moving on and never got to go back.
