It's the dog days of summer (What does that even mean?) and I'm guessing the last thing on many of your minds is listening to us talk about music nerd stuff but hey summer is a great time to think about and spend time with your friends so that is what this episode is all about.
Whether it's the friends you made at your first basement show, the people who kept your band together through countless tours, or the community that helped shape who you are, punk has always celebrated the bonds between people. In Episode 125 of the High Fives Punk Rock Podcast, Mike and Justin dive into one of the genre's most enduring themes: friendship.
What makes a great song about friendship? Why do punk rock, emo, melodic hardcore, pop punk, and ska bands seem uniquely drawn to writing about loyalty, chosen family, growing apart, and finding your people? We break it all down while sharing some of our favorite tracks that capture what friendship means both inside and outside the scene.
Featuring music and discussion from:
Patsy's Rats ,Turnover,The Menzingers, Aree! Aree!,The Jealous Sound,Life After High School,The Dopamines, Latterman,Polar Bear Club,Sincere Engineer,Among Legends,Rat Salad, Knucklehead,Night Freak,MakeWar and more
