The Audio Philes #12 - Maximum Sass
Well hello everyone! Episode 12 is live and ready for your aural consumption. As we settle into our new uploading schedule, we've had more time to ruminate on our releases. The releases in question? We've got Issues' "Beautiful Oblivion," SeeYouSpaceCowboy's "The Correlation Between Entrance and Exit Wounds," Kublai Khan (TX) "Absolute," and an EP from Kelso called "Always a Godmother, Never a God." These are a little off our beaten path comparative to previous reviews, and it leads to some rather existential discussions as a result. So strap in and enjoy, my friends. We'll see you all next episode. Follow us on IG @audiophilespod Follow our companion playlist on Spotify! Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share on your platform of choice!

The Audio Philes #11 - The Early October
Well hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of The Audio Philes. We've got a fresh batch of albums this week - four of them to be exact! We're taking a quicker look than usual at Blink-182's "Nine" and Casimir Liberski"s "Cosmic Liberty" and giving our verdicts (who can guess what we thought of the new Blink). Then, we're doing our more typical deep dives on The Early November's "Lilac", and Car Bomb's "Mordial." But wait! There's more! For the first time in our pod's short history, we BOTH had shows we went to this week, so naturally we're processing our emotions regarding them live and on the air. So strap in and enjoy everyone, we'll see ya all next week.
