Episode 75: Hoobastank’s “The Reason”, or When We Learned Hoobastank Might Be Canadian. They’re nice, well-adjusted guys, and the lead singer is “Doug Robb”. They might be Canadian. Also, album is kinda good? Plus, we discuss Sick New World and Sam Rivers.

Y'All Want a Single #117: "Poem" by Taproot. Covering Taproot for only the second time on the show and the first time on a studio track, we spend most of this episode debating whether or not Taproot sounds like 311. I'll let you guess which host thinks that.

B.O.N.U.S. Kast #73: "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans OST" w/ Jarrett Campbell. Ooh boy, it's a late-era nu-metal-adjacent soundtrack that features Wes Borland and the bassist from Nine Inch Nails remixing a bunch of songs. What could go wrong?

Y'All Want a Single #113: "I Shot Lucifer" by Bionic Jive. One of the more rap-forward groups of the era, this album and song arrive 5 years too late with some of the most vague "guy says stuff to try to sound deep/political" lyrics we've ever covered.
