Thanks to the suggestion of one of our listeners on Discord, today we're doing a retrospective of one of Mike's favorite bands, New Jersey darling's Thursday. They were one of the pioneers of the second wave of emo during the 2000s and have since influenced a ton of bands that we all have come to love, including My Chemical Romance. Join us as we go through each of their albums from 1999 to 2011 as we anticipate the release of their new song and (hopefully) their new music going into the future! Also on the episode, we share our thoughts on albums from artists like girl in red, Mark Knopler, Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties, Taylor Swift, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Pearl Jam, and Eidola #Thursday #girlinred #MarkKnopler #AaronWestAndTheRoaringTwenties #TaylorSwift #SeeYouSpaceCowboy #PearlJam #Eidola _______________________________________ Find us on social media: ⁠⁠https://discord.gg/2jv87Wypvw⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/TheSkinnyPod⁠⁠ ⁠⁠mail to:theskinnywithmikeandadam@gmail.com⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theskinnywithmikeandadam/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theskinnywithmikeandadam/support

Sum 41 is a band that we all have known and have been around for more than 24 years now! With the release of their final album, Heaven :x: Hell, we thought it was a good time to take a look back at this often overlooked band and reminisce on the albums that surprised for their meaningfulness and complexity as well as the albums that once let them sit at the top of the world! Please enjoy while we take a look back at the music of Sum 41! Also on the episode, we share our thoughts on albums from artists like Conan Gray, Dreamcar, Dustin Kensrue, Bayside, Thursday, girl in red, Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties, and Mark Knopler #Sum41 #HeavenXHell #ConanGray #Dreamcar #DustinKensrue #Bayside #GirlInRed #AaronWestAndTheRoaringTwenties #MarkKnopler _______________________________________ Find us on social media: ⁠⁠https://discord.gg/2jv87Wypvw⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/TheSkinnyPod⁠⁠ ⁠⁠mail to:theskinnywithmikeandadam@gmail.com⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theskinnywithmikeandadam/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theskinnywithmikeandadam/support
