272. 10 Years of This Is My Nightmare by The Good Fight
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
We talk a lot of about album anniversaries on this show, but this is the first time we talk about one of our own! On November 9, 2013, Tom’s band The Good Fight released their debut (and final) EP “This Is My Nightmare” and the guys go track by track and discuss the writing and recording process of each song and provide some insight on how recording your own music opens up a world of appreciation for the songs and albums we listen to every day.

271. The 2007 Mixtape Draft
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
2007 was a very important year for Tom, Pat, and the scene as a whole. This year saw some of our favorite releases of all time, and things get contentious real fast as we scramble to claim our favorite tracks for this week’s draft. We end with quick conversation about The Hum Goes On Forever by The Wonder Years. Subscribe at | | | | Links: Hit us up online! | | |

270. All That I've Got by The Used
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
Daddy and daddy have been away for a few months, and we’re very sorry that we left you all alone with the babysitter, a terrible April Fool’s joke of an episode. So we’re popping in real quick with a brand new toy to hopefully make things right. Here’s All That I’ve Got by The Used, but for real this time. Not a dragon in sight. See you in 10 months… Links: Songs of the week: by JESSIA by The Beths Hit us up online! | | |

269. Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
This episode was published on April 1, 2022, originally titled "All That I've Got by The Used" as an April Fool's joke. Since we later went ahead and published a real The Used episode, we changed the title to "Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce". This week, we left it up to the listeners with a Twitter poll to determine which episode we do this week. May we present to you: All That I’ve Got by The Used. No funny business here!

268. 99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
You know those moments in your life where you know you’re going to come away from that moment a completely different person? That’s what hearing 99 Red Balloons for the first time was for us. It’s the reason we’re friends. It’s the reason we ended up starting a band that we played in all through high school. It very well may be the reason we love pop-punk as much as we do. And it all started with a weird German song in the 90s that captivated the hearts of 3rd wave ska captains, Goldfinger. Thanks for everything, John Feldmann. And sorry for everything, as always… ...

267. Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! As many as you may know or have guessed by now, we’re both hella Irish, so we’re happy to talk about the most Irish song we know, Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly. (Suck it, Irish National Anthem!) The song is great year-round, but it hits especially hard on St. Patty’s Day. But the VIDEO! Dear Christ, the video is so good. It’s basically just a skate film featuring Patrick Melcher and you won’t catch either of us complaining about it. It rules! Erin Go Bragh! Links: Songs of the week: by Mom Jeans by CLIFFDIVER ...

266. The Science of Selling Yourself Short by Less Than Jake
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
Way too much time has gone by without screaming at everyone about how much we absolutely love Less Than Jake. Not only have they been cranking out some of the best music we’ve ever heard since the early 90s, but they even gave us Fueled by Ramen, so put some respect on the name! While The Science of Selling Yourself Short isn’t the most feel-good song of all time, it’s an absolutely killer track with a super trippy and amazing music video that is deserving of so much more than we could ever give it. Summer of ska, here we come! Links: Songs of the week: by...

265. The Songs About Places and Spaces Mixtape Draft
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
Many bands over the years have dared to write songs about their hometown, the neighboring state that they can’t stand, or even extremely specific restaurants, apartments, and fountains in their local area. This week, we draft our favorite songs about our favorite places and spaces. Not a lot to it, we just love places and spaces!

264. Anywhere But Here by Mayday Parade
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
it’s no secret that Mayday Parade is one of our favorite bands of all time, but we’re super guilty of only talking about their debut album A Lesson in Romantics. It seems like the rest of the world may be guilty of the same crime, so we’re trying to set the record straight today. Mayday Parade is much more than a one-album wonder! Anywhere But Here was a very good sophomore record, even on the heels of losing one of their singers to Go Radio over a disagreement concerning songwriting credits. The title track is super fun, the music video is wild and weird, and Facebook is keeping it all...

263. Everywhere by Michelle Branch
Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast
No early 2000’s podcast is complete without a Michelle Branch episode, because that woman was everywhere, much pun intended. And she wasn’t even a woman yet, she was like 15, taking the entire planet and the airwaves by storm! Our motto this year is #BangersOnly, so it’s only natural we talk about Michelle Branch, even if it is a little bit out of genre as a blend of “moody post-grunge rock and breezy Y2K pop”. It bangs, and we’re 100% here for it. If only Michelle was 100% here on the podcast. Maybe next time… Links: Songs of the week: by Doja Cat ft....
info_outlineToday we’re celebrating 250 episodes and 5 years of the podcast with NEW ARTWORK!
