EP290: Best of 2024

Dec 29 2024 143 mins

We’re back to say goodbye to 2024. Our annual best of the year episode is chalk full of everything you’ve come to expect from the HHPP, excited exaggeration, mild disagreements and ten punk selections from Glenn (some of which he’s actually heard). See you in ’25!

EP289: Anti-Government Songs

Dec 15 2024 69 mins

After an extended hiatus we’re back for Glenn to host a somber conversation about our feelings after the 2024 presidential election as well as a discussion about some great music to listen to during these dark days.

EP288: The Scariest Songs of All Time

Oct 27 2024 73 mins

What’s a good horror movie without a terrifying score? A simple Google search will show you that The Shining can be marketed as a romantic comedy with the right music. Our Halloween episode has Mike, Rod & Glenn talking through the songs that have scared them the most throughout their lives. Don’t listen in the dark.

EP287: Peter Murphy "Deep"

Oct 20 2024 70 mins

This is the third episode we’ve dedicated to the Bauhaus frontman’s solo work but only the second album we’ve discussed (we inexplicably recorded two episodes about his sophomore LP “Love Hysteria”). Both are chock full of excellent songwriting and of course Murphy’s chill-inducing baritone but they are not without their flaws and some definitive signs of carbon dating.

EP286: NOFX "Punk in Drublic"

Oct 13 2024 84 mins

With the LA punk institution NOFX recently calling it a career, we look back at their breakthrough 1994 release and discuss whether it’s a pop punk classic or a steaming pile of crap. Maybe it’s both. Recommended Listening

EP285BS: Black Sabbath "13"

Oct 06 2024 61 mins

Ozzy is back and not a second too soon. We wrap our Sabbath Series with their 2013 reunion LP. The album saw the return of two thirds of the original quartet and while drummer Bill Ward is certainly missed, the magic that Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler had way back when things all began in 1970 is absolutely still very much in tact. The atmosphere, the riffs, the wonde

EP284: J. Robbins "Basilisk"

Sep 29 2024 60 mins

J. Robbins legacy in the punk/indie rock world was cemented years ago. As the driving creative force behind Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Channels and Office of Future Plans as well as the producer of some of the best records of the early aughts including classics by Jets to Brazil, The Dismemberment Plans, Shiner and The Promise Ring, he has left an indelible mark on the guitar-driven

EP283BS: Black Sabbath "Forbidden"

Sep 22 2024 65 mins

The penultimate episode of our Black Sabbath series and the last before we get to return to the soothing voice of Ozzy Osbourne. Geezer Butler has again departed and as we have learned, that means a significant dip in quality. It does nothing to diminish the legacy of the Birmingham greats as their legacy was cemented decades prior to this albums release, but it is fair to say that

EP282: Chat Pile "God's Country"

Sep 15 2024 69 mins

Mike introduces the boys to one of his favorite records of 2022, a light listen through topics ranging from homelessness, drug addiction and serial killers. The album closes with suicidal thoughts prompted by a beloved McDonald’s mascot and the episode was appropriately recorded on Friday the 13th which happens to be the subject of track three “Pamela” which imagines what Mrs

EP281: Against Me! "New Wave"

Sep 08 2024 67 mins

Glenn hosts our lively conversation about the Naples Florida punk band’s major label debut. The hooks are big and the messages are clear (maybe too clear) but how does this breakthrough LP hold up almost twenty years after its release? We discuss.
