In this episode we continue down the spiral of Nine Inch Nails' story. We cover the latter half of their career, starting with the end of last century, where Trent and his collaborators brought a new sound and vision to their fans. Addictions and depression still threaten to bring down the whole operation and Trent has to make some tough choices to keep the integrity of his music yet still bring it to the masses. We also touch on the projects that end up making him a bigger name than just as a rock star, but with film and tv as well.Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

We start to tell the tale of the band that brought industrial music to the mainstream, or more specifically, the man. Nine Inch Nails is Trent Reznor, a kid from the midwest who knew there was more out there for him than corn fields and quiet communities. But his journey was a real personal struggle, and his music makes that plain to see. Trent worked hard on his craft to the point where it became all consuming. He saw the apathy and despair in the world and found it brought him down as well, and music would become his primary outlet for these feelings. Despite falling into some unsavory habits, he managed to become a chart-topping rock star and took advantages of some opportunities of a lifetime.Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

It's time to come in with another heavy hitter in the world of music! The Ramones are a beloved part of rock history, but they weren't always viewed that way. From the very beginning, their career was filled with bumps and challenges. But they continued to work hard to create a sound that we hadn't really heard before. In this part we give you the background of each member, how they got together, where the name came from, and how they managed to get signed to release their first album.

Sit back and be prepared for a true underdog story this week! You've heard us talk about the satire that is Spinal Tap, but are you ready to hear the tale of the real life Spinal Tap? Anvil is one of the originators of Speed Metal and you probably never even heard of them. We explain how their naivety mixed with the dark side of the music biz stopped them from reaching the heights of success that are expected with such talent. Let's take a break from unfortunate events and doom and gloom to hear the heartwarming story about two best friends who wanted to just make amazing music together.

It's that time of the year again! When we celebrate the oppressive summer days by getting drunk and jamming out to the songs of our youth, most of which we hate. We take you into each track, most of which very much a product of their time, and give you the story behind the songs and the artists who wrote them. Because let's be honest, we're not doing episodes on a good portion of these artists. Come back in time with us, won't you? Hear our hot takes on each tune and how we reverse the tables by sexualizing all the men on this album.

This episode we decide to turn to comedy in these spicy times and talk about the good times that is This Is Spinal Tap. We got some music trivia about the actors playing the band members, some quirky stories about how we ended up with some of the funniest scenes, and a few tangets of our own. In the end we have talk about the elephant in the room- Is Spinal Tap a real band? We are joined by good friend of the podcast, Scott, the host of Writer's Bagel Basket! He brings us little nuggets of trivia that we would not have known about without his endless movie knowledge. No matter how this got made, it's still a classic that is enjoyed by the masses.Get more movie fun in your ears with Scott on Writer's Bagel Basket!Visit Adam & Eve and use the code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

Just when things couldn't get worse- butt rock happened. One of the most polarizing styles of music to exist, sometimes loved, but mostly despised. Or at least an easy target to get dunked on. This episode, we have in-depth discussions about what it means to be butt rock. Why is it reviled and what is redeemable about it? Could it have something to do with the DBE (Big Dirtbag Energy) or is it just daddy issues? How many post grunge bands should be categorized as butt rock? All these questions will be answered as we are joined by our proteges from Make It Stop- Heather and Mike, PHBs in bad music, making them professionals on this topic in our eyes. Also enjoy hearing us teach the kids about butt rock in real time.Check out the bad music and good times with Make It Stop!Visit Adam & Eve and use the code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

This album was not No Doubt's first rodeo, but it was certainly the one to put them on the map. Listen through it with us and see how it still holds up. The 90's nostalgia is strong in this one, but in all the right ways. We discover how very much Gwen Stefani wants to get married, how the band stepped up their game despite their leader quitting, and how this is a modern day version of the album Rumors. Maggie spends most of the time being constantly reminded on how she didn't have cable growing up, and Ashleigh discovers that she missed a bullet by not dating Gavin Rosdale.Visit Adam & Eve and use the code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

We have a wonderfully special and especially wonderful episode this week! We are forgoing our usual format to bring you a delightful interview with Eddie Reyes, veteran songwriter, guitarist, and founder of Taking Back Sunday. He spent two decades in TBS and toured the world many times over, so you better believe he has some fun stories! We talk about everything from being on the road with TBS (lots of salami involved), to being a dad of two teenagers (and having to feed them too, to our collective love of metal (we get schooled). Believe us when we say we were ecstatic he agreed to be on our show and we had a blast shooting the shit with him. It's official - we're all bffs now.Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes? Check out our Patreon!Listen to all the great podcasts over on the Pantheon Network!

This week we cover a relatively new artist (at least as far as our usual repertoire goes) and bring you the story of one Lady Gaga. She started out as some random girl from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but managed to stand out with her talent and relentless work ethic. Hear how she went from Stefani to Gaga, how she ended up going from rock to pop, and a few missteps she may have had along the way. But at the end of the day, this woman is truly one of a kind. Whether you love her music or can't get over her theatrics, you can't deny that she will live on as a legend of our time.Visit Adam & Eve and use the code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

We all got em- guilty pleasure songs! The tunes you bop to when no one is looking. It's just about summer time, which is a perfect time to dig up music that you never wanted anyone to see on your playlist. This week we got together and discussed our favorite shame-filled songs, despite how much respect you will arguably lose for us. We really run the spectrum of genres here, from emo to techno, it gets pretty embarrassing. Get a pretty good idea of what we were like in college and how we, and some of the artists, have changed throughout the past dozen years.Visit Adam & Eve and use the code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

This fearless group took electronica to a whole new level in the 90's. Breaking the boundaries of genre by incorporating the sounds of techno, hip hop, rock, and everything in between to create the most unique music the world had heard up to that point. They made it ok for metal heads to want to dance and ravers to want to mosh. The Prodigy just started out as a one man show, that quickly turned into a 3-piece collective, after he let some ravers join in on the fun. Their story is their own, creating music without compromise and proving that they have the talent and inventive nature to show the world what they were missing. Doesn't get much more rock n' roll than this, kids.Visit Adam & Eve and use the code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

This week we're not just going into the story of the legendary Thin Lizzy, but especially so to talk about the life of frontman Phil Lynott. He had the charisma to get all eyes on him during a performance, but he was not born with it, it took years to adapt to the rock star lifestyle. His life as a person of color amidst a predominantly white city left him feeling like an outsider, which would contribute heavily to his deep lyrics that fans have grown to love. Not only Phil, but Thin Lizzy seems to never really get their due, so help us in celebrating this amazingly influential band with delightfully crazy Irish stories.

Ska may not always get the respect it deserves, but this band sure should! The Specials are the originators of 2 Tone, a style of music that fused together Jamaican ska with punk and sprinkled in some new wave here and there. They changed the game and influenced the worlds of rock and pop to come after. This band not only revolutionized music, but they brought in topics that weren't normally discussed in popular music- racism, teenage pregnancy, economic disparity, and overall distaste with the establishment. It was everything the youth at the time wanted to hear and encouraged their peers to do the same. We talk about how they get together, how they've changed, and how they've (mostly) brought it back home. Hopefully this episode will leave you giving ska a little more respect than you may have had before.

You may only remember Fiona Apple from her risque music video for Criminal back in the late 90's, but she is so much more. An artist who has taken her pain and displayed it for all the world to see and relate to. She learned early on that if you can't please everyone, then at least please yourself. But that doesn't mean she hasn't spent a great deal of time soul searching to get where she is today with her most recent release. We cover her tumultuous childhood into her music-laden teens when she became the star we know her as now. But let's take a minute to celebrate her and all the work she has done not only for women in music, but for women in life. That they are respected and believed in times of great struggle.Visit Adam & Eve and used code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

Remember the early 2000s? Well you will after this episode. We talk about the nearly 20 year old sophomore release from one of the most eclectic metal bands to grace the airwaves- System of a Down. Toxicity brought SOAD to the masses at a time when we needed to hear some hard truths. These tracks cover the spectrum of hot political topics, the Armenian Genocide, how fake LA really is, Science vs Nature, and horse pilots. We get pretty drunk and pretty passionate about these songs, so buckle up for an extra long, extra spicy episode. And be on the lookout for our buddy, Rick Rubin.Visit Adam & Eve and used code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

A God of rock, this week we are talking about Motorhead cornerstone, Lemmy. Without this man, so many genres of rock would not exist as we know them today. With his unique bass technique, lyrics to scare your parents yet make you think, and a devil may care attitude, we will live on with his influence forever. We dive into his story, from childhood, to his first bands, to his epic life with Motorhead, all leading up to his tragic passing in 2015. This guy is a character with some crazy stories and potentially questionable taste in fashion and decorations. But at the end of the day, we respect this consummate bad ass of a guy.Visit Adam & Eve and used code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

Bjork had been making music for the majority of her life, but many would argue that it was her sophomore release that pushed her into the mainstream. Post saw Bjork truly breaking out of her shell, from the shy and polite girl of Debut, to the strong and unapologetic woman who would eventually become one of the biggest names in art pop. Here we see her getting more comfortable with production and collaborating with even more artists to make this one of the most unique album experiences of our time. Experimental, yet totally still accessible, Post brings to the table everything we love about this Icelandic singer for a perfect album for any audiophile.Visit Adam & Eve and used code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?

Buckle up for an episode about one of the worst people to ever step into the music business. Lou Pearlman created two of the biggest pop acts in recent memory- Backstreet Boys and N*Sync. But that doesn't make this guy a hero by any means. Not only did he use and manipulate these boy bands, but dozens of other boys and their families. And that's only from his music biz scams. He conned his acts out of millions of dollars and his gold star sociopathy made those around him think his actions were ok. Until they weren't. From even his childhood, Lou was showing red flags to the very few who were willing to put up with him. Hear this all too familiar tale, of a sad man who could only find joy in getting getting ahead, especially at the cost of others.Visit Adam & Eve and used code CANDYPOD to get 50% off nearly any one item and some sweet free stuff!Want to support your favorite beer drinkin’ babes?
