Nine years since their last full-length, The Gaslight Anthem are BACK with their sixth record, ‘History Books’.

On this episode, we’re catching up with another album worth discussing in more detail that was released while we were away for a few months. The follow-up to one of our favorite albums of 2021, ‘The Noble Art of Self-Destruction’ by Holding Absence. Are the band continuing their upward trajectory with their album quality? Or are they reverting back to the same band that forced Mike to write a letter to the music scene back in 2019?! Listen along on our track-by-track review! Also discussed, our ...

After a few months away, Mike and Adam are back for the first of - hopefully - many regularly scheduled episodes of The Skinny!

Welcome to the first ever episode of The Sleepy with Mike and Adam! Today, we’ll be doing a track-by-track review of the fascinating new album by Sleep Token, ‘Take Me Back To Eden’. We try to interpret the song meanings based on our admittedly intermediate (at best) knowledge of the performance art project that is this band. We make it no secret that we both think this is one of the strongest albums of the year so far, so please listen along with us as we share our thoughts on this new album th...

Inspired by a HEATED DEBATE over on our Discord (linked below if you’d like to join us), we’re introducing a new segment on The Skinny in which we settle the score once and for all, which album from an artist we love is OBJECTIVELY the best one! And of course, to kick this off, we’ve got to re-visit the debut solo album from our favorite song-writer and pit that between his follow-up sophomore album - which we will discuss in-depth on next week’s episode.

For more than 20 years now, Story of the Year has been making the rounds and writing some of the most infectious songs in the music scene. And to us, they’ve sort of been a bit of a bridge between the emo rock movement of the 00s and mainstream alternative rock. They’ve definitely had their moment in the sun, but they’ve been consistently releasing music for more than two decades now, which brings us to their newest album ‘Tear Me To Pieces’ and our retrospective episode on the band and our hist...

In the wake of Mike’s recent victory in the 2022 Skinny Draft, Adam’s loss meant that he had to write and record a song about how awesome Mike is! Well, the time has come and the checkbook must be balanced because Adam has paid up…WITH INTEREST! Adam and Mike share not one, not two, but three parody songs that celebrate Mike’s life. We hope that you enjoy this as much as Mike did! Also on the episode, we share our thoughts on some highly anticipated albums as well as some recommendations from me...
