High Fives Punk Rock Podcast

Hi and welcome back to the High Fives Punk Rock podcast. It is the last episode of the season and this one is all about the year 2003. So, let’s take a trip back in nostalgia for a time where myspace and scenesters ruled the musical landscape. Justin and Mike look back on the albums and pop culture of the year through the lenses of a couple of aged out punk rock kids. Beyond the music, our hosts dive into 2003’s pop culture trends and explore how genres like punk and its various sub genres continued to evolve, often overlapping and influencing each other. And you get to hear Mike talk way too much about his love of the O.C. Featuring discussions about Stike Anywhere, Rancid, Lagwagon, The Exploding Hearts, Story of the Year, Saosin, Silverstein, Less than Jake, Joule and the Postal Service showcasing the year’s rich diversity in alternative music. We discuss what we have been listening to including Ben Quad, The Shape of Punk To Come tribute album, No Doubt, The Implants, The Hammerbombs, the Dopamines, Lindi Ortega and Pizza Death. Have a listen and then send in the 5 albums that you love from that year. We can’t wait to hear what you would pick.

And don't miss some new questions for Justin in our “Get to Know Justin” segment!
