Musician and fellow podcaster, Colton Geschwandtner, discusses the lessons he has learned from Coheed and Cambria.

Relatively new Sleater-Kinney fan Kendall Perry is too young to have experienced the Riot Grrrl movement that gave birth to SK, but more than twenty years later, Kendall is a good example of how the band is continuing to impact people with their music and values.

Jen Shakeel was in the midst of an abusive relationship when she started listening to Thirty Seconds to Mars. The band ended up giving her the courage and support that she needed to finally leave her husband, and now, Thirty Seconds to Mars' music is something that has provided her and her four kids with a sense of home, and it is something that they will always bond over as a family.

One of my oldest friends, Emily Kindschy, talks about the band she decided not to talk about, and the band she did decide to talk about: Hole. Emily discusses how her personality, career, and political belief system have all been affected by Hole, and how she doesn't care if Courtney Love is an accomplice.
