  • Summary

  • How come Phantom Planet didn’t go supersonic after "California" and The O.C.? What happened to Fountains of Wayne after "Stacy's Mom"? Why didn't The Sounds become international superstars, even when Dave Grohl couldn't stop gushing about them?

    Chris and Leslie examine some of the greatest almost famous Millennial rock bands, with plenty of behind-the-scenes intel from their days at Alternative Press, Billboard, and backstage watching Jason Schwartzman endure bad Rushmore dad jokes.
