Pop-Punk Book Club

No Pressure

This week the boys dive into No Pressure’s self-titled album—an album that may have completely restored their faith in modern pop punk. Also: Jayson catches us up on life after the hiatus, including a new baby, a funeral, and a doctor who somehow managed to call his newborn racist shortly after she was born. Next week: No album! Join us for the Season Finale as we celebrate Pop-Punk Book Club’s first birthday and help us wrap up an incredible first year by finding our favourite flame of all time (so far).

Before, Everything and After

This week the boys revisit Before Everything & After by MxPx—an album they both loved in high school, but one of them discovers it may not hit quite the same anymore. Also: Jayson embarrasses Sam while he’s peeing in bushes (again), an interdimensional warning about misusing PPBC terminology, the official disciplinary field guide, Book Club considerations, and some important schedule updates. Next week’s album: No Pressure (Self-Titled, 2022).

Colour Blind

This week we revisit Colour Blind by Seaway—an album Sam once rated horribly, while Jayson never understood why. Has his opinion changed, or does he still stand by it? Also: an accidental exposure story, more embarrassing moments, Book Club considerations, listener comments and another premature evaluation. Next week’s album: Before Everything & After by MxPx.

They're Only Chasing Safety

Emo Book Club returns with They’re Only Chasing Safety by Underoath—an album the boys both loved in their later high school years. Does it still hit the same, and is it their best? Also: an embarrassing story from Sam, Jayson going full emo, listener comments, Book Club considerations and tons of hilarious highschool stories. Next week’s album: Colorblind by Seaway.

Hoss

This week the boys dive into Hoss by Lagwagon—an album they picked after missing the band play it live in their own town. Also: a mortifying birthday party moment, Jayson taking his daughter to see Babymetal, and our random album challenge delivering some real contenders for the Book Club. Next week: Emo Book Club returns with They’re Only Chasing Safety by Underoath. Get the rating guide at poppunkbookclub.com to rate along with us.
