“As a someone who grew up with this era of punk this show is great. Even when I don’t know the band/person, there is always something worth hearing and taking me back to those days! The host is really good and always has good questions, you can tell he does research and prepares. 5 stars!”

“I really love this podcast. Hearing from, and about, a lot of the bands that I listened to and saw during my teenage years has been great. Keep up what you’re doing as long as you can.”

“Lanemyer was a decent band and fairly nice guys in the 90s. They are actually what brought me to this podcast in the first place. I’m shocked at how little the host seems to know about punk rock in the 90s. There are some really good interviews but it doesn’t seem like he was that into the scene....”Read full review »

“Great interviews and great guests. Huge fan of this era of punk and the host does a really good job of letting the guest talk without interjecting themselves into the story (like some other lesser hosts do).”

“This show is an outstanding look at the late 90s and early 00s scene, a time when music was blowing up and new genres were emerging constantly. Mike does a great job looking at how it all connects with bands and the industry, but also takes the time to talk to lesser known bands that were...”Read full review »

“I kinda expected more from Mike as far as the common knowledge of stuff is concerned.
Not knowing who Malcom Mcclarren was?!
Or that the first Lollapalooza was 91 with Jane’s addiction, Ice-T, Rollins, etc?! I mean, don’t get me wrong, his interview style is very relaxed, very personable, amd...”Read full review »

“This podcast fits into a niche market, as it primarily covers the NJ punk scene. But so many of the interviews are great to listen to. If you are/were a fan of the mid to late 90's punk scene, regardless of whether you grew up in NJ or elsewhere, give this a listen. There have been many...”Read full review »

“Doyle has a conversational approach that reminds us how communal the scene was/is. His final question for every episode, “What scene ethics do you hold on to this day?”, shows how the scene shaped anyone who was involved. Listen, share, & keep the scene alive.”

“Sometime in 93, I started going to shows here and there at Skater’s World and the Wayne Firehouse. Within a year, I was going to a show nearly every week. By the time I was 14, I was booking shows, helping at others, and attending 2-3 a week. Whether I was in a muddy pit at Montclair State for...”Read full review »

“Really great podcast! I’m actually from central NJ, this was my scene, so it’s relevant to me. But even if you were a kid from Arkansas at the time, I’d be surprised if this didn’t strike a chord with Anyone who was into the underground bands. There was nothing better than going to punk shows,...”Read full review »

“This is an amazing podcast. I left NJ (Wanaque/Wayne) when I was young and moved to the Lehigh Valley. While I didn't grow up in the Jersey scene, the bands Doyle interviews are some of my favorite bands to cross the river into PA. Overall, it's a great podcast to hear behind the scenes...”Read full review »

“A very recent interview with Jeff Caudill, somebody who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing since 1991. As far as his extremely prolific musical output goes, I’m most partial to 1990-1995 era Gameface (as I previously alluded to, the ‘90s were BY FAR my favorite time in my almost 50 year life) but...”Read full review »
