This week on Pop-Punk Book Club, the boys dive into Sticks and Stones by New Found Glory—an album they both used to love in pieces, but only recently came to appreciate as a full body of work. But don’t get too comfortable, NFG fans—this episode contains some hot takes that are almost sure to make you angry.
Sonny, listen to me. It’s your Dad talking. You need to press play on this album. To say you do is an Understatement. Do not Forget My Name; I am Dad. It will be a Head on Collision. My fist, your head. I’m kidding. I wouldn’t do that to you, Son. And I love you. That is the Story So Far. Belated.
Also in this episode: they reflect on what it was like working with Stevo32, recount a moment of questionable percussion-related injury involving a bandmate and his behind (don’t worry, everyone’s fine… we think), and Sam gets roasted by his barber mid-haircut. To top it all off, they read a wild story involving the drummer from Silverchair accidentally vomiting on Blink-182’s manager in the ‘90s.
You know what to do—rate the album with us, compare notes and tell us whether we just committed pop punk blasphemy.
