Epic Footnote Productions

"So Much (for) Stardust" not only marks Fall Out Boy's first album in 5 years, but also their return to Fueled By Ramen - released their debut album "Take This To Your Grave" 20(!) years ago. So does the Chicago outfit reclaim the pop punk / emo rock throne with album no. 8, or does it leave fans yearning for more?   Find out what Matt and Zach think in Epic Footnote Productions’ “2 Minutes to Review,” a podcast that’s part album review and part competition. In each episode, both hosts are given two minutes each to review a newly released album or a classic record they’re revisiting. Whoever gives the longest review in under two minutes wins.   Also hear us explain the band's influence on pop punk: https://youtu.be/SK37_yEtlZA    Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

Ticketmaster is no stranger to strong criticism. But the fiascos surrounding rollouts of recent tours by artists like Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen has brought tensions at an all time high - with the Department of Justice launching antitrust investigations into Live Nation, the Senate holding hearings about Ticketmaster's presale operations and resale markets, and even artists like The Cure's Robert Smith publicly demanding a revaluation of "unduly high" ticket prices and fees (mere days before tickets went on sale)... So simply put - what the heck gives with these excessive fees, numerous presales, and dynamic pricing? How did we let a single company gain such an enormous stranglehold on the music industry? Who's to blame? Can anything be done to rectify this?    That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

Bamboozle was easily one of the most eclectic music festivals of the 00s - one that evolved from pop punk roots to a gathering of all types of genres. But the New Jersey festival’s return after an 11 year absence has so far been… lackluster at best, with the rollout of its lineup and pricing causing lots of confusion (and frankly frustration) among concert goers who feel misled by festival organizers... So, what gives?   That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?
