In our 110th episode, we’re joined by Casey Cavaliere, Lead Guitarist of the The Wonder Years. Casey is a triple threat, in that he’s a guitarist, producer/engineer, and podcaster. With The Wonder Years having just completed their 40 date full US tour to celebrate the albums ‘The Upsides’ and ‘Suburbia…’, we thought who better than Casey to give us a recap on the whole experience.

This is a great look under the hood of what goes into touring in 2022.

Episode 106: Bandvantage: Album Title Edition (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, Spanish Love Songs, and more)
In our 106th episode, we take inspiration from Ep 21. This time around, instead of discussing band names that elevate the band, we’re discussing album titles that elevate the album (we call this a Bandvantage). The 3 of us come to the table with a few titles that we feel take albums to the next level —- album title cheat codes if you will. Spoiler: every album we picked is either a classic or on its way to being a classic. Do you have any that come to mind? We’d love to hear em! The beginning of the episode starts with a game: Band names….real or fake? Play along and let us know how you did!

Play along and let us know how you did! The beginning of the episode features a quick mention of 2 years of the podcast, as well as a brief explanation of how the boys provided additional vocals for Trawl’s new song, “Kaiju King”.
