Grateful Dead (Part 1 of 3)

Jason & Jeremy — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 09:37:00 +0000

The Grateful Dead are one of the most polarizing bands in America.

Tool / A Perfect Circle / Puscifer

Jason & Jeremy — Mon, 24 May 2021 05:30:00 +0000

Jane's Addiction

Jason & Jeremy — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 03:10:00 +0000

Jane's Addiction. Troubled. Strange. Challenging. Possibly one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time, seemingly all by accident, or at least Jason seems to think so. Jane's seems to just make Jeremy mad, which is arguably a big part of the point. Listen in as we discuss the origin of Jane's Addiction, their troubled history, and their legacy.

Pearl Jam

Jason & Jeremy — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 05:01:00 +0000

Is it fair to compare Pearl Jam to Bon Jovi? Probably not. Dive into PJ with us as Jeremy recounts the mind numbing experience hearing his brother attempt to learn Alive on the guitar, and Jason commits the ultimate sin, calling his most favorite Pearl Jam song, Black, a throwaway Bon Jovi b-side. We discuss history, tons of trivia, our personal experiences, and what makes Pearl Jam one of the biggest and most respected rock bands of our generation.
