Billy Talent

That's not going to be one of the reposts.

In fact, the episode that you're going to be listening to is actually from Carl, who picked Stranger Than Fiction by the band Bad Religion.

And we talk about a load of stuff there.

what that's going to happen is i'm going to push a button and you'll go straight into the the episode none of the introduction or music you'll hear so you just go straight into it so yeah um that's it i can't think of anything else apart from followers on all the socials which is red dwarf pod and yeah let's talk to carl As I briefly mentioned just before we started recording the episode properly, I was recently a guest on your podcast, Feeble Jukebox, where you offer to either keep a song in my head or remove it.

So, Carl, fellow We Made This podcaster, host of Versatile Jukebox, you're here to talk about an album that you love, as we mentioned.

Why don't you tell the lovely listeners the disc you've picked for us for today?

I have picked Stranger Than Fiction, the 1994 album by the band Bad Religion.

Why have you picked this album? For me, this was very much a sort of turning point in my own musical maturity, for lack of a better word.

Now the context, Alexis on Fire just did two sold out Toronto nights for the 20th anniversary of Crisis.

32,000 tickets, played Wembley Arena with Billy Talent and went back to Warped.

Poison the Well have toured the U.S. two years, running behind Peace in Place with Glassjaw and then Converge opening.

Now, this is the tour the post-hardcore crowd who are now 40 take their kids to.

Do you remember Billy

Talent? I don't think I listened to Billy Talent.

They were kind of the post-punk era.

Okay.

There is Billy Talent, Soper & Brown Show, Hitz FM.

You know, I, we did shout-outs, shout-downs, uh, about an hour ago.

Mm-hmm.

Ruled out, really.

Billy Talent, Cobra Starship have been announced for Slam Dunk.

I was definitely hoping for Billy Talent.

Black Gold are on there as well.

My wild card's gone, I think.

And he had a studio called Vespa that, uh, uh, ended up, when I was at Anthem doing A&R, and we had Big Wreck go in there.

And I know we did a lot of Billy Talent stuff in there.

He did Die Mannequin.

Um, there's all kinds of stuff.
