High Fives Punk Rock Podcast

There is something about cars and music that just goes together. For some of us that connection is as simple as the love of driving a specific car. For others it might be the soundtrack to hitting the open road or nostalgic memories of cruising with your friends. Whatever it is there has always been a kinship between the car and music. In episode 126 we explore that connection with punk and its subgenres.  Whether you are in your car , stuck at your desk, on a walk or maybe just chilling on your own, have a listen to our picks and then let us know what car songs would make your list.

It's the dog days of summer (What does that even mean?) and I'm guessing the last thing on many of your minds is listening to us talk about music nerd stuff but hey summer is a great time to think about and spend time with your friends so that is what this episode is all about. 
Whether it's the friends you made at your first basement show, the people who kept your band together through countless tours, or the community that helped shape who you are, punk has always celebrated the bonds between people. In Episode 125 of the High Fives Punk Rock Podcast, Mike and Justin dive into one of the genre's most enduring themes: friendship.
What makes a great song about friendship? Why do punk rock, emo, melodic hardcore, pop punk, and ska bands seem uniquely drawn to writing about loyalty, chosen family, growing apart, and finding your people? We break it all down while sharing some of our favorite tracks that capture what friendship means both inside and outside the scene.

Episode 123 of the High Fives Punk Rock Podcast is ready to go and in this episode Justin and Mike break down and discuss some of the bands whose records, ethos, and raw energy laid the groundwork for an entire generation of punk without trying to sound too much like a bunch of wanna be poser kids. Sure we can gab for hours about the fat wreck and epitaph era. And yeah we were around for the emo/pop punk hey day. We would be lying if we didn’t hop on the 3rd wave ska bandwagon or get wrapped up in the indie sleaze of the 2000s. But for once we can say oh we were too young for these bands. Have a listen and please school us on who we should be listening to and why our lists maybe are a little weak sauce
