Eli and Miranda finally do a full-ass episode about early 2010s metalcore. We touch on the normification of 'core music, the unique tackiness of these band's aesthetics, some of the major figures in this milieu, and how this idiom of music looks/feels in 2024. 

In this old-school episode, Eli and Eric talk about new albums from Waxahatchee and Adrianne Lenker. Then, they bounce around some thoughts on new Kacey Musgraves, Mk.gee, Goin' Nowheres, Wild Pink, Ariana Grande, and more.  Subscribe to the Endless Scroll Patreon for weekly bonus episodes, access to our Discord server, and more: https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod

This week's main feed episode is running a couple days late so we're flipping a bonus to keep you tide over. This was originally published on our Patreon feed in December 2023. In this episode, we tackle the 2013 album to end all 2013 albums, Because The Internet by Childish Gambino. Is it the OK Computer of rap? Is it good? We get to the bottom of these questions and more.  Subscribe to the Endless Scroll Patreon for weekly bonus episodes, access to our Discord server, and more https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod

Bit of an unconventional opening, but once we get going, it's off to the races with reviews of Faye Webster's new album 'Underdressed at the Symphony' and Mannequin Pussy's new record 'I Got Heaven.' Lots of thoughts on and around both.  Subscribe to the Endless Scroll Patreon for weekly bonus episodes, access to our Discord server, and more https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod

This is a bonus episode we originally published on our Patreon in October 2023. Now available for all to hear.  Folks, it's a Hop Along episode! We talk about the Philly band's three (maybe four?) albums, where this band fits in 2010s indie-rock, their emo bona fides, their influence and more.

We're joined by Camp Trash member, music writer, and former youth pastor Keegan Bradford (@FranziaMom) for a dive into the alien universe of Christian Rock. We talk Tooth and Nail, Christian metalcore, P.O.D., Reliant K, and how the idiom went from halfway decent (Starflyer 59) to total dogshit (Skillet) in the span of a couple decades.  Subscribe to the Endless Scroll Patreon for weekly bonus episodes, access to our Discord server, and more https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod    

We did an episode on The Dismemberment Plan! In classic 'Scroll fashion, two of us weren't familiar with this band and the other two are longtime fans. We talk about their classic albums, what makes them so beloved, how a band as odd as them became indie-rock icons, and why some of us find them so goddamn irritating. 

Friend of the pod Grace Robins-Somerville joins us for a discussion about Neutral Milk Hotel. We go in on the band's music, their legacy, Elephant Six, canonical indie-rock, and more. 

It's a three-part ep. First, we have our obligatory discussion about Pitchfork's recent gutting. Then, we review the new Katy Kirby album, 'Blue Raspberry.' Finally, we pull out our Bandomizer game and debate the best/worst albums from a bunch of our favorite artists.

The Jimmy Journey — our quest to listen to every Jimmy Eat World album — continues onward, though the road gets bumpy on 'Chase This Light' and 'Invented.'  We also talk about new songs from Waxahatchee and Faye Webster, and reveal the winner of our Christmas Songs draft. 

Happy new year, Scrollers! We're back to discuss stuff we're excited about. Stuff we want to see. Stuff we want to stop. 

For our last episode of 2023, we did a draft of Christmas songs. It's a fun game, but also an excuse for us to talk about our favorite xmas tunes.  Vote for the winner by emailing endlessscrollpod@gmail.com, or by voting in the Endless Scroll Discord.  Access the Discord by subscribing on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/endlessscrollpod  Thanks for another classic year. You'll hear from us again in 2024! 

We've finally reached the last end of year list episode!! Eli, Miranda and Michael give a rundown of some of their favorite non-2023 music they started listening to this year. Enjoy!
