In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Sam Sutherland (@SamSthrlnd) of the blink-155 podcast to talk about…not blink-182, surprisingly.

Find out more about Sam’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the early-2000s Canadian punk scene, Dallas Green’s resume as an all-around good guy, and how alexisonfire broke through despite not feeling like a CanCon success story on paper on this week’s podcast.

    In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy are joined by Katie Heindl (@wtevs) to discuss FEELINGS and the 2014 album Singles from Future Islands.

Find out more about how freestyle rapping played a role in Future Islands’ development, Katie’s emotional run-in with the lead singer, and whether Jake could dance on late-night TV on this week’s podcast.

    TV on the Radio: How to Market Music in the 21st Century

    In the latest episode of Columbia House Party, hosts Jake Goldsbie and Blake Murphy explore TV on the Radio’s Return to Cookie Mountain, what they feel is one of the best albums to come out of the early-2000s indie rock boom.

Find out more about the David Letterman performance that helped put them on the map, where they veer from otherwise similar Meet Me In The Bathroom-era acts, and just how a band comes to sound like…this…on this week’s podcast.
