Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue (2003)

Columbia House Party ·

2020/10/12

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, Jake and Blake take you to a place off Ocean Avenue to sit and talk with you about Yellowcard’s 2003 album named for a street in Jacksonville, not Los Angeles. That mistake is one of two personal stories the hosts share on this one, the second of which is far more embarrassing. Find out more about Yellowcard’s path from the home of the Jaguars to L.A., how they incorporated violin so effectively into an otherwise standard pop-punk sound, and why the

Singles: Serial Joe - Mistake

Columbia House Party ·

2020/10/09

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake get just about as Canadian as it gets, taking Serial Joe’s single Mistake for a spin. It certainly sounds a certain way in 2020. But can you blame labels, Much Music, and the band for trying to capitalize on multiple overlapping trends at once? It was worth a shot. And Skidrow is still good.Sick of hearing all the ads?

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Chris Cresswell (@crustcrustwell) of The Flatliners (@theflatliners) and more to discuss one of his major influences, Gob’s 1998 album How Far Shallow Takes You. You really thought CanCon pop-punk month was going to go down without some Gob? Go jump in a lake. Find out more about the path Gob paved for a generation of Canadian punks, what changed in their sound with each successive album, and whether

Singles: The Age of Electric - Remote Control

Columbia House Party ·

2020/10/02

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake offer up a rarity and actually concede that something is a one-hit wonder, and it’s not just because you didn’t listen to the album enough. The Age of Electric had a fairly big hit with Remote Control, and the band is otherwise best known for their subsequent (or parallel) projects. That doesn’t mean the song rules any less.

Avril Lavigne - Let Go (2002)

Columbia House Party ·

2020/09/28

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, Jake and Blake travel back to Blake’s most heartbroken shifts at the Cambridge Home Hardware and fire up Avril Lavigne’s 2003 debut Let Go. Armed with four massive singles one-through-four on the album, Let Go was a tour de force at the time and feels no less significant in retrospect. Find out more about the changes in writing process (and partners) Lavigne went through to find her sound, how and why she was able to blur the lines between genres, and

Singles: Hostage Life - Sons of Hostage Life

Columbia House Party ·

2020/09/25

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake throw it back to Hostage Life and their excellent single Sons of Hostage Life. Which, yeah, you know there are some bad jokes about that song title within. But it’s still a good discussion about a band that was a staple of the Toronto scene and a little unknown outside of it.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness: https://www.patreon.com/columbiahouseparty Follow @ColumbiaHP on Twitter

Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler (2001)

Columbia House Party ·

2020/09/21

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy crown Sum 41’s 2001 album All Killer No Filler a Canadian musical landmark. That’s like a Canadian Heritage Minute, but it just plays every commercial break on Much Loud for eternity. Maybe a statue in Ajax, too. Find out more about how Sum 41 broke through outside of just the Canadian pop-punk scene to become emblematic of early-2000s culture, why their early work stands out even better in retrospect, and their

Singles: Cauterize - Something Beautiful

Columbia House Party ·

2020/09/18

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake reach into Blake’s high school CD case to listen to Something Beautiful by Cauterize. The band formerly known as Take Off, Eh! seems an unlikely miss in the pop-punk explosion of the early 2000s, given how good the album So Far From Real is. Let’s try to figure out why they never broke through unless you really liked snowboarding video games.Come join the Patreon family for bonus episodes, mailbags, show notes and even more goodness:

Billy Talent (2003)

2020/09/14

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by NBA writer James Herbert (@outsidethenba) to discuss Billy Talent’s 2003 self-titled debut. James made sense as the guest since he was also on for Billy Talent influence At The Drive-In and because he and Blake were at the same Billy Talent concert during frosh week at Queen’s. Find out more about Blake’s overdue realization that punk is political, Try Honesty’s continent-crossing success, and why Billy

Singles: Disturbed - Down with the Sickness

Columbia House Party ·

2020/09/11

How do you spell ooh ah ah ah ah? In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake get “Down With the Sickness” and take a quick look at Disturbed. They were more than just a two-hit nu-metal star that The Edge 102.1 overdid. Shockingly so, actually, with ludicrous album sales and five No. 1 records.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by comedian John Cullen (@cullenthecomic, @blockedpartypod, @thePOD_Kast) to discuss Broken Social Scene’s sophomore album You Forgot It In People. But not before they get derailed talking about Disturbed, Korn, labret piercings, and John’s love of nu-metal. The guys eventually talk BSS, we promise.

Singles: The OBGMs - Not Again

Columbia House Party ·

2020/09/04

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake spotlight a Toronto punk band they’re both very high on, The OBGMs. Built around the single “Not Again” off of their upcoming album “The Ends,” the hosts explore whether The OBGMs can back up their claims of being Nirvana, Steve Jobs, Steph Curry, and Drake of the local scene.

2020/08/31

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Erin from Resting on Pretty (@RestingOnPod) to discuss Lorde’s 2017 sophomore album Melodrama. Melodrama being considered a pop album is accurate, but it paints Lorde in a way that sometimes seems to undersell her excellent as a songwriter.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by their first three-time guest, Sarah MacDonald (@sarahsmacdonald, sarahsmacdonald.com), to discuss Phoebe Bridgers’ 2020 sophomore album Punisher. This is the show’s first crack at covering a new album without the benefit of at least some nostalgia, so it’s good the hosts had Sarah to guide them.

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake take a trip to Better Oblivion Community Center to discuss the self-titled album from Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst’s group. What better way to bridge Bright Eyes and Bridgers episodes? It also offers yet another chance for Jake to be unkind to his younger self as it pertains to Dylan Thomas.

Down Matt Skiba for this one – is there drama afoot? – Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker go back to their punkier roots, lament the pandemic situation we all find ourselves in, and poke at how it’s all been handled politically.

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Jeff Rosenstock (@jeffrosenstock) to discuss Rilo Kiley’s excellent 2004 album More Adventurous. Is there a cooler band than Rilo Kiley, and a cooler singer than Jenny Lewis? It’s hard to figure..

Singles: Two Tongues - Crawl

Columbia House Party ·

2020/08/07

In the latest Columbia House Party single, Jake and Blake use their two tongues to discuss the Two Tongues of Max Bemis and Chris Conley. After enjoying their work together on a Bob Dylan tribute, the respective lead singers of Say Anything and Saves the Day collaborated on a 2009 album together. The result, though, doesn’t quite live up to the expectations cast by each groups’ previous work, a common risk in supergroup formation.

Say Anything - ...Is a Real Boy (2004)

Columbia House Party ·

2020/08/03

In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy dive into Say Anything’s 2004 pop-punk classic …Is a Real Boy (and, technically, their 2006 build-on …Was a Real Boy). It’s an album that stands out from its own scene upon review, somewhat ironically given the album’s heavy criticism of the scene itself. Find out more about the cost and benefit of Max Bemis’ sprawling creativity and perfectionism over the band’s life, how the hosts – and Bemis himself – deal with
