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...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing! Sam and Marcos give the latest reviews, the latest releases and news. Definitely reminds me of what alt press used to accomplish.

A couple of scene-stirs, still wearing cut off gloves, that think their edgy, cause they listen to warped tour bands. They think Howard is better for Killswitch, they love all the breakup songs he did with them. Alive or Just Breathing with Jesse, is too heavy for them. Bunch of dopes.

2021, so far I have listened to over 1000 hours of music, and shocker to me it has not been 100% metalcore! This is almost all thanks to Sam and Marcos, never did I think I'd like or even be excited to listen to emo-rap but call me Waldo and find me because I do now! Thanks for the incredible...Read full review »

Hilarious & informative. Sam and Marcos have introduced me to so many bands that I never would have tried to listen to otherwise. This is a quality podcast ❤️
nickbfromct via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/21
Great content. Enjoyed the chosen music to review and their opinions. One critique - the excessive use of the word “like” wore me out after awhile but if you can get past it they share quality reviews with great insight!

THE ONLY podcast needed for music. Sam and Marcos are incredible and I look forward to every Monday for their insight into the music scene.

If you’re into racism and neo-fascism, this is the podcast for you.
Hellokansas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/21
My favorite podcast. Sam and Marcos are the best
rose21: via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/20
I’ve never been into podcasts, but this is the only one I listen to now, and I can’t get enough of it! I listen to every episode and subscribe to the Patreon and suggest anyone remotely interested in the scene does the same. Sam and Marcos are awesome dudes with awesome content.

Just started listening to this podcast last week never knowing there was a “metal” podcast and it’s super dope! These guys go in depth on all new music, singles, news, and upcoming jams! Would 100% recommend and share with others

So cool 🤘🏿
MauriReyes via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 12/26/19
They’re very active on Twitter and engaging with listeners. Pretty rad they’re actual fans of the music/bands they talk about. If Spotify doesn’t suggest new stuff to me I come here to find that new new. 💯💪🏼
TminusFive via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/19
Marcos drives me absolutely insane but is also right at least 70% of the time. Great place to find out about the best new albums.
humanspork via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/19
These guys are really entertaining! Best of luck to y’all!!
bejwidjekekd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/19
I don't generally enjoy listening to podcasts, but a friend recommended this to me. This is highly entertaining, and it keeps me up to date on the things I care about. Sam and Marcos are quite funny as well, making it all the more enjoyable.Read full review »

The best metalcore pop punk post-hardcore podcast out there
szzzerp via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 12/25/18
Good show
Kirkland Douglas via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/24/18
First few minutes of the first episode I listened to they did a bad South African accent of a what I think was supposed to be a black woman. Nope!!! I’m a fan of bands in “the scene” so was excited when I found this podcast but I’m no longer willing to excuse the causal hurtful crap that...Read full review »

Randomly stumbled on you guys while looking for some reviews and absolutely loved the whole thing! Great presence as hosts and the sheer amount of how much you cover in an episode and know in general deserves praise! Also, you are my podcast of the year for cos you know what's up - DISPOSABLE FIX...Read full review »

Covers all my favorite genres in...Read full review »

These guys are the real deal, ever since I started listening to SOTS, I found a new job, my hair grew back, my wife took me back, and my I got rid of my cancer. Coincidence, I think not?
Anonymous-xx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/17
Every week, I look forward to an episode! Sam and Marcos are the right balance of anecdotal and relevant, providing snippets of their lives without making episodes all about them. Their passion and love for music is palpable, and it's refreshing to hear some off the cuff humor from...Read full review »
Brooke_Daly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/17
It's lit fam! These guys are funny as hell, semi but also not at all relatable as hell, and they do all the work required for keeping up with the scene that you might've missed. Not sure if u wanna catch a tour comming up? Ask the brothers. Thinking of grabbing that album but not sure?...Read full review »

our lord n savior via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/30/17
The hosts are funny (sometimes) and do a great job of keeping the listeners up to date with all the goings on in the alt music/warped tour-type scene. They're fairly knowledgable about most of the bands/artists/labels/major players in this sect of the music industry. They keep the show...Read full review »
jesus.wav via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/17
These guys do a great job of reviewing pretty much every scene band you could want, and they are entertaining while doing so. Definitely recommended.
Boulderizer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/17
Sam and Marcos of the State of the Scene provide terrific commentary of all the week's news in the alternative music/Warped Tour scene. Interviews, album reviews and other features are covered in detail. It is an excellent few hours of entertainment for any fan, hardcore or casual, of...Read full review »
FlippenTaylor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/17
Great that these guys cover every band that I love. Easy way to stay up to date with a very specific genre of music. Will continue to listen.
Lou Fig via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/17
Did you enjoy Cold World? Then this podcast probably isn't for you because Sam and Marcos have great taste in music and know what they're talking about. I'm not even American but I still feel a surge of patriotism every time I hear the podcast intro. Fantastic music news, reviews and brilliant...Read full review »

I wanted a podcast that talked about the bands I saw on Warped, and this delivered.
Icynova via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/17
Love this podcast and if you like Warped tour kind of music and other bands close to it, check out this podcast! Totally worth your time!

This podcast probably tastes like it sounds - delicious.
Jake Denning via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/16
These guys are so hilarious I look forward to listening to a new episode once every two weeks. I think I'm more a fan of the metalcore/deathcore/hardcore side than they are but they're so passionate and I love their commentary listening to this will be a real treat.Read full review »

Fun guys. A lot of enthusiasm and generally love their topic.
Jakeobi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/16
These guys are easily worth the two hours. Between the hilariously smart remarks and heavy sarcasm, you’ll find a thoughtful and insightful dialogue that might even be called unparalleled in our scene. These guys not only know bands, but labels, producers, and an endless list of other details...Read full review »

And slightly annoyed at you for stealing my time listening to music. You're awesome, got me laughing a little too loudly on the bus!
