We are getting close to the end of the year so we decided to talk about our best releases that have dropped in 2025! I would say that much of this is to be expected if you've listened through out the year but curious as to what you guys have as well. You are going to hear us talking about a lot of locals with xForever Warx, Die Young, Spit My Rage, and Mask, but we also talk about some of the bigger releases from The Acacia Strain, Spiritworld, End It and Skinhead. Also, Haywire is going to take overall best band of 2025!

Back with interviews and we've been looking forward to this one! We have Vinny who is the one man band, Funeral Language, coming out of Indianapolis. There are a few of these guys playing this chaotic style in the vein of The Chariot, Every Time I Die, The Dillinger Escape Plan, etc. and I have been super curious about the approach and the thoughts behind the music. He dropped an incredible three song single earlier this year called "Cirque" and has a new album title "Thank you for the dead body" dropping 1.20.2026!

In addition to Funeral Language, be sure to check out Vinny's other band, Best Noodles in Town. A much chiller emo/altrock/pop-punk style sound. Their last EP, Better, I Think, dropped back in June!

Been a minute, but we are back with two new local bands! First up is Innervision from Springfield, IL. Straight Edge, Hardcore/punk these guys are young! Their first EP was in 2023 and then they release their last EP, Alive & Well, back in April of this year. We were lucky enough to catch these guys at Flyover Fest and their sound was awesome after a few heavy slam bands earlier before them. Next up is Playn For Keeps out of Fort Lupton, CO. These guys are a newer band with their first release in 2024 but they just dropped a couple new singles, Divided we Fail and Fossils. This is heavy metallic hardcore, pulling influence from older bands like Bury Your Dead, Hatebreed, All Out War and more. We talk about them being a little older and how because of that, their politically driven message hits different for us.

Check out both bands and let us know what you think!

On this episode we talk about how awesome Flyover Fest was in Oklahoma City! We talked about how cool the pre-show was, and two days of the fest at the OKC Farmers Market. We talked about the awesome comic book store we found and the cool antique mall by the fest venue. Honestly, all the bands were great, the venue was great, everything was great about the weekend. People should not sleep on OKC HC and make sure to check out and support all the bands.

On this episode Kyle was joined by our buddy Chris to see who could make Trevor roll his eyes the hardest with some of the worst Dad jokes using band names you could ever think of. If anyone has any please share with us!

On this episode we were able to talk to Jonah from the Houston hardcore, rock, power pop band, Strange Joy. Jonah was such a fun dude to talk to. He told us about how he got in to music from his mom introducing him to Taking Back Sunday and Brand New.

He also told us about starting Strange Joy and the success they had right from the get go. He told us about some future plans with the band. We are very grateful to talk to him and to hear all his cool stories. Make sure to check them out on their Texas run this year.

They are playing the Sunday Drive Records 10 year anniversary show in NY this Thursday 10/9, so make sure to check that out if you're around there!
