Episode 121 - Don't Call It A Comeback

In Episode 121 Mike and Justin dive into the records that prove punk bands can drift, dip, disappear… and then roar back stronger than ever. We’re talking about those late-catalog gems — the albums that remind you why you loved a band in the first place. All while Justin battles yet another cold, flu, plague or whatever you want to call it.

From unexpected rebounds to long-awaited returns, we explore moments when a band hit a lull, stepped away, or took a left turn, only to come back with a record that absolutely rips proving that bands can roar back when fans least expect it. We dig into the art of giving something another listen, appreciating late-era surprises, and celebrating those “oh damn, they’re BACK” albums.

Featuring music and discussions from bands like Lagwagon, Face To Face, Good Sleepy, The Get Up Kids, At the Drive In, Shoreline , Swallow’s Rose, Carrion Spring, At the Drive In, The Suicide Machines, Pennywise, Mr. Radical, The Darts (US), Samiam, Unichapel, Grade and Hot Water Music.
