We're getting to the core (pun not intended but we're not changing it) of our Rise Against series with a deep dive on Revolutions Per Minute, a formative punk rock album for both Matt and Troy and an undisputed genre classic.

Sometimes bands have long, prolific careers filled with ups and downs, and sometimes they release one great album and fade away for unknown reasons. The Tower and the Fool is the latter, and this week we're talking about How Long, their stellar collection of emo Americana heartbreak.

A power outage interrupted the finale of our Paramore series, but we fought through it to dig into yet another genre turn on This Is Why, making records in an unstable world, and the big remix project.

We've reached Paramore's massive fifth album, After Laughter, which means we're talking Talking Heads influence, mallet percussion, and the coolest mewithoutYou collaboration ever.

As our Paramore series continues with their massive self-titled album, we dig into the hit songs, the band Live Journal, and why this album didn't land for us in 2013 (but don't worry, we love it now). We also pay tribute to David Lynch with our weekly recommendations.

Paramore had already cemented their legacy in the scene with Riot!, but their third album took them to even greater heights. It's the Brand New Eyes era, and we're talking emo anthems, band turmoil, and Twilight.

Paramore broke big with Riot! Maybe we'll do the same with this episode? Probably not, but it was a lot of fun to rave about how great these songs. Also: lots of talk about The Final Riot (filmed in our native Chicago), Jimmy Eat World, and the remnants of MySpace.

Today we're kicking off our new series on Paramore, starting with All We Know Is Falling. Launched into the heyday of the emo and pop punk revolution, it's a fun, catchy album and an impressive artistic statement for a band so young. We go through the album, a slew of early demos, and end the show with a new segment.
