It's been a crazy year, but we had to come back and do our year end Top 10s! Check out the Bad Riffs EP on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever else music is.

We're Back in the Podcast Groove (tm). Jake and Jared return once more to Jared's tune Daisy, and Jake takes a crack at another Jared tune Francine. First, we take a look at the Pinegrove shuffle and a music festival tragedy that hit close to home. Then we discuss some amazing albums that we've been checking out from Youth Lagoon, Feeble Little Horse, Home is Where, Jesus Piece, and Billy Woods and Kenny Segal.

Look we know we've been gone but we promise it was worth it. Jake and Jared reconnect on life and music, and show some demo updates. Jake redid vocals on several tracks, and remixed another, and discuss what they're working on next. Time Stamps: 22:52 - What have you been listening to? 39:06 - Demo Updates

Bad Wallpaper has been hard at work at the riff factory, but sometimes life slows us down. Have no fear, we're back with some tunes. We catch up on Oscar movies, new tunes, and our song progress. Time Stamps 26:36 What Have We Been Listening To 44:00 New Demos

Some more demos coming down the hatch. First Jake and Jared discuss movies (not sorry), weather (a little sorry but it's cold), and what to do with all those dollar bin records when you have to downsize. We also discuss new tunes by King Tuff, White Reaper, Tanukichan, Fucked Up, and Parannoul TimeStamps: 28:00 What Have We Been Listening To? 44:27 Demo-lition Derby

After a month of flu, Bad Wallpaper is back in the saddle.  We talk about the incredible Japanese film House, look back on the legacy of Jeff Beck and David Crosby, and the onslaught of new singles from great bands such as Boygenius, M83, and Wednesday. Jared revisits a recent riff, and Jake reaches back to week 20. Timestamps 13:11 What Have You Been Listening To? 33:37 Demo Debuts

Bad Wallpaper debut two new demos, both taken from week 11 of the podcast. But first, the boys discuss going to shows (Isaac Brock for Jake), not going to shows (no Ben Gibbard for Jared), and revisiting hometown bands (Somebody Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin) Time Stamps 30:14 What Have You Been Listening To? 47:37 Demo Debuts

It's that time of the year again to make lists about albums. Everybody is going to their favorite list sources, like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Bad Wallpaper. Jake and Jared have been compiling their 10 favorite albums of the year since college, and are here to dissect them in painstaking detail! Thanks to all the artists that put out music this year, we have loved listening, discussing, and comparing them head to head with albums that are completely different. We look forward to releasing our own album that you can say wasn't quite good enough to make your top 10. We say Favorite because they're the albums we listened to over and over, took inspiration from, and will hopefully stick with us through the new year! This is just like our opinion man! 

It's been a year already??? Time flies when you're writing riffs. the boys talk about what they've accomplished over the past year and what the plan is going forward with the Podcast and expanding the existing riffs. In addition, they discuss Grammy noms (and of course Christian Numetal), ticketmaster, new music from Andy Shauf, and the Drive By Truckers.

The boys welcome Graphic Designer Andrew Sexton to discuss the new Bad Wallpaper artwork! Andrew made some great graphics for the podcast and all our social media, and has first dibs on the Bad Wallpaper Album... He joins us to discuss various topics like going to Portland, the Metal Microsoft Logo, Taco Bell and Turnstile, and the 2022 Midterm elections (sorry we recorded this while that was actively happening) We also discuss some of our favorite music right now. Andrew has been enjoying new releases by Jean Dawson and Joji. Jared has been checking out the Revolver Remaster, along with some quick hits. Jake has been listening to Jeff and Laura's new EP of Neil Young Covers, Younger Still. Finally, we pick our favorite riffs of the month, our last riff selections of the year. Stay tuned for more!!
