Our guest Kelly Branco introduces us to Ween via the band's 1997 album 'The Mollusk.'

We discuss the alternative music landscape in the '90s that enabled a strange band like Ween to find its audience, as well as how Ween's unsinkable irreverence influenced beloved millennial TV shows like 'South Park' and 'SpongeBob Squarepants.'

We tackle some fresh hardcore from Thrown with the newly-released single, “Split.”

Thrown’s groovy brand of slam metal feels especially livid in a genre where the primary goal is to put anger on tape. The Swedes are one of Andrew’s favorite up-and-coming heavy bands.

On this bonus episode, Andrew and Dominique discuss what makes “Split” hit different.

In this bonus episode, we check out a dreamy new collaboration between VÉRITÉ and LEXXE, “Labyrinth.”

The lush, witchy single seems like a longtime coming between a pair of artists with a lot of mutual respect.

Naturally, Andrew and Dominique veer of course to argue about the credits.
