Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

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.

It’s no secret that Hoobastank’s music video for The Reason is our favorite heist movie ever, but it recently came to our attention that there’s a sequel! Hooba picks up right where they left off and tell a gripping tale of crime, rock and roll, and betrayal all in three minutes, and somehow managed to outdo themselves once again.

However, we want more. Selfishly, but there were also a few loose ends that we’d love to see tied up in a neat bow, so we’re calling on Doug Robb and the boys to expand the Hoobaverse with a 3rd installment to the series, or preferably a feature-length video. If you’d like to see this happen, make sure to sign our change.org petition below.

Helena is one of those songs you need to listen to in your underwear on the kitchen floor as you feel the full force of gravity pulling you closer to the center of the Earth. Every millisecond of this song is packed with so much emotion it’s taken every bit of the 16 years we’ve had with it to feel the full weight of this tune.

This week the guys break down the music video scene for scene and do their best to appreciate every frame of it’s incredible story and performance. A lot went into the making of this video, and luckily the band and director Marc Webb documented a lot of the creative process and uploaded it to YouTube for fans to appreciate for years to come.

Your Favorite Weapon is a really unique album in Brand New’s discography, and it holds a lot of great tunes within. A far cry from their later work, this pop punk record remains a favorite for many Brand New fans including Tom and Pat.

Many of these songs still hold many great and terrible memories within, and they’re all revealed within this episode! From bad relationships, romances that never were, radical teen angst, and long nights in Tom’s mom’s basement trying to figure out how to write songs like Jesse with their high school band.

2004 is not only a great year for all the amazing albums that were released, but it’s also the year Tom and Pat met in 8th grade. This week’s draft is full of tons of great memories from when the guys were living their best lives as care-free teens. But things get a little heated as they end up competing for the same tunes from their favorite albums of all time.

Every now and then you’ll come across a song that was written for you and you alone. Nothing has ever made more sense than the lyrics, the vibe is tuned just to your frequency, and the emotions hit like a ton of bricks. Detroit by Fireworks is one of those songs for Tom. The angst was high through the summers of 2009 and 2010, and Fireworks, a pair of headphones, and a fixed gear bike helped make sense of the world. This episode is full of nostalgic tales of midnight rides, anger walks after mom was being a total B, and even some middle school bullying.

Cute Without the E (Cut From The Team) is probably one of the first songs one would pull out of their brain when trying to name any Taking Back Sunday song they screamed at the top of their lungs throughout the entirety of their high school career. It’s one of the most raw, powerful, and angsty songs in their entire catalog! This week the guys rewatched Fight Club in an attempt to better appreciate how flawlessly the band recreated the movie, managing to condense the entire narrative into three and a half minutes.

One of the greatest moments in this show’s history is when we realized Adam Schlesinger wrote an absolute TON of songs we’ve enjoyed over the years. Adam was extremely prolific in his career as a song writer for multiple Grammy winning and nominated bands, in addition to TV and film, and he even claimed a Tony win for the writing of Cry Baby on Broadway.

We swore to ourselves we would have Adam on the show some day, but on April 1st he passed away. We were both pretty devastated from the news and decided to take some time to remember the beloved moments we had with his music. He seemed to just understand people and the music they’d love, and a genius like him is a pretty rare thing to discover in their time.
