Customer Reviews
My Favorite Podcast
I’ve been listening to podcasts since before most people even knew what a podcast was. True crime, comedy, music, you name it. My passion however, is music. Sam and Marcos share that same passion with me. There is just something about hitting play and listen to two dudes give alternative music the time and attention I have since I was 10 years old. They tackle the subjects that our partners or our family are sick of hearing us nerd out about on a day to day basis. But you won’t just get a music discussion out of this show. You will get comedy, random rabbit hole discussions, fan interaction, and you WILL discover your next favorite band. These are two examples of critics that can’t be bought. They are genuine, music loving honest normal people just like you and me.
This is my first ever podcast review.
5 stars was a no brainer.
I am so happy I discovered SOTS.

Best Way to Discover Music
So I listened to Lead singer Syndrome the New Noise for over a year now and then there was a split up of that duo and a huge void in my life ensued then a friend recommended this podcast and upset I wasn’t listening to this sooner, their breakdowns on new albums is amazing and after just a few episodes my library and playlist is blowing up!!!! Keep it up absolutely love it!!!!!
Rock Isn’t Dead
Although mainstream radio, awards shows and pop culture in general makes it seem that there really isn’t a rock scene anymore… these guys are here to remind everyone that we (fans and bands alike) are still here. Hearing Sam and Marcos review the newest music released and interviewing those responsible for the music is so refreshing. As a metalcore fan, I very rarely hear any of the bands I listen to come on the radio… much less any new music they have released. Unless you follow the record labels or each band on their respective socials, it can be easy to miss when they put out new music. After listening to the newest episode, I found a band I’ve been sleeping on. If you are a fan of core, you have to check this podcast out!
