Welcome to Whack or Slaps, where we look back into the annals of 2000s indie music to determine if an album, or band, or even entire musical movement was actually good or just a product of the hype machine of its time.

Customer Reviews
SM Bois! Hi there Noah!
Gotta do a rejuva-review of Fiery Furnaces’ Blueberry Boat! Criminally under-remembered album!
Handsome Fur?
Earnest pod with entertaining hosts, who are somewhat over confident in their knowledge.
It slaps
Best podcast out there. Get your mind right and take a trip back to the early 00’s for conversation amongst friends about the Pitchfork era and if the bands that they championed are actually any good. Hilarious and insightful.
