🎤 The Menzingers

╰ Joe and Tom are back talking about a couple of Tom’s picks. The album is one of his faves and a pleasant surprise for Joe. It’s the 2019 release from heartland rockers The Menzingers. Their sound blends classic and punk rock and will leave you feeling good throughout the whole listen. Lyrically, they touch upon the ups and downs of a breakup and the ensuing growth. Joe and Tom equate the flow to the 5 stages of grief and enlightens deep discussions. While they fight back tears, they drink Arnold Palmer Spiked, which obviously has a familiar taste but an improved alcoholic spike from past tries. Get comfy for this drop, you won’t regret it.

🎤 O.A.R.

╰ Joe and Tom are back once again and, this time, are talking about a couple of Joe’s picks. Album-wise, they dig into O.A.R.’s tenth and latest release, which encompasses all of their sounds from their career, such as rock, pop, reggae, and, of course, their college rock sound that put them on the map. All of this jam-packed into just over 30 mins. To drink, they sip on Blue Point’s East Coast IPA, one of their most popular brews. The beer takes the best of what NEIPAs and West Coast IPAs and combines them into an easy-to-drink banger. Take a listen!

🎤 Rex Orange County

╰ Joe and Tom are back exploring a couple of Tom’s picks. For the album, he’s thrown Joe a curveball with one of his favorites, indie artist Rex Orange County’s sophomore effort. His fusion of indie rock, jazz, and bedroom pop makes for an eclectic and versatile sound. To drink, they pop the cap on one of Two Roads’ most popular seasonal beers, a wheat ale featuring flavors of red and black raspberries as well as lemongrass. A fruit medley for this drop for sure! Tune in to see what they think.

🎤 Foo Fighters

╰ Joe has returned to his hosting chair alongside Tom and, to ease his way back in after his hiatus, Joe picked…you guessed it, Tribus and Foo Fighters! The Foos Saint Cecilia EP, released in 2015, is a 5-song quick rocker and a very easy listen. Recorded over the course of 2 weeks in an Austin hotel of the same name, the EP features a surprisingly wide variety of styles for such a short release. To drink, the guys crack open Tribus’ first ever hard seltzer. The inaugural flavor, Mango Peach, features real fruit purée, as will future flavors. For more on the seltzer, we hear from one of Tribus’ co-founders, Matt Weichner. We also get the tea on why and how Tom *accidentally* blocked Joe. Get to listenin’!
