As The Story GrowsUnderoath Discography DiscussionAfterdark - Underoath Discography DiscussionWe’re switching things up this week. No interview.

Last week I was joined by longtime listener and Patreon member Ben Pike to discuss Underoath’s discography. Ben and I had some disagreements about the various records and I thought the dialog about nostalgia and how reunions can change your opinion about a favorite band was wor...2020-10-0736 min

(Recorded on January 6th, 2017)
In the early 2000s I heard an album that changed my life. A small band called Cancer Conspiracy put out a full-length on Big Wheel called "The Audio Medium" and it became one of my favorite albums.
