  • Cartel - Chroma
    May 28 2026

    It was just a matter of time before we covered this instant classic, the debut full length "Chroma", by Cartel. The first of the Warped Tour bands we'll be getting into over the next few months.. so it's time to roll the windows down, and get carried away!

    When you think of 2005, and what albums were important, and getting the most attention, Chroma tops the list.

    AND IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANSWERS, ASK BETTER QUESTIONS.

  • Avril Lavigne - Let Go
    May 12 2026

    Her Royal Highness, the Pop-Punk Princess from Napanee, Ontario is in, as we discuss her debut album from 2002, Let Go.

    Whether you consider this record pop-punk, pop-rock, or pop-country.. you're absolutely right, because it checks all the boxes.

    So don't go choosing weed over Avril, because this is the best selling album of the 21st century by a Canadian artist, and she's anything but ordinary.
