oh and you must listen to "Reason To Believe"

while I disagree with most everything, keep it up guys! Pennywise is AWESOME!

I'm actually a bit nervous to check this album out, Achilles's Heel is one of my favorite albums ever and I'm scared that I'm going to under mind Phoenix because it's not Achilles.
Eloise
Are you ever going to talk about Circa Survive or Dance Gavin Dance? I'd like to hear your thoughts on some early 2000s Post Hardcore.
Eloise
Great Episode guys! I still need to listen to both of these albums, but Belmont's ep was very promising and I was a huge fan of Abandoned by Bears's covers! I'm excited to listen to both! Keep up the great work!
