We're rising out of our coffins this week to talk about My Chemical Romance's breakthrough smash Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. We get into the mash-up of emo angst and pop punk choruses, the intense behind-the-scenes moments chronicled in Life On the Murder Scene, and the enduring legacy of this album.

This week we're starting a new series, and it's a big one. My Chemical Romance is a foundational band for us and for the entire emo/punk genre. On this episode, we get into the band's origins, their connections to Noise Floor faves Thursday, and of course their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.

While Rise Against was gaining steam, frontman Tim McIlrath was also pseudonymously dabbling in metalcore with The Killing Tree. They only released one full-length album, which Matt loves and Troy is hearing for the first time. We're joined by our first ever guest, Matt's longtime friend Kyle Wilnewic, to explore the early 2000s Chicago punk scene and this beloved side project's life and legacy.

Our Rise Against series ends (for now) with Nowhere Generation, a refreshing return to form and, if you ask us, a genuinely great album. Also discussed: The Nowhere Generation II follow-up EP, the last great music video, and, of course, discography rankings.

On paper, Wolves should work. Rise Against responding to the 2016 election with a renewed anger and energy seems like a recipe for a great record. And yet, we kind of hate it?

Rise Against released The Black Market in 2014, and we... kind of forgot about it for a decade or so. Did the shift from overtly political to introspective lyrics not work? Did the band just sound too tired? Whatever the case, we're giving it a fair shot now.

On Endgame, Rise Against allegedly considers the end of the world as we know it and whether that might actually be a good thing. But does the album actually engage with that idea in an interesting way? Is this where Rise Against really lost the plot for us? Did they have beef with Against Me!? Listen to find out.

Appeal To Reason features some of Rise Against's most enduring songs, but it's also a divisive album, which makes it a lot of fun to talk about. Join us to find out how our feelings have evolved since 2008 and why we aren't Geffen Records executives.

This week we're digging into Rise Against's fourth album and arguably their magnum opus, The Sufferer and the Witness (including the Walmart edited version that Troy still has in his iTunes), as well as a slew of hardcore covers and the strange and surprising Generation Lost documentary.
