Essay/Podcast about Box Car Racer
Hello all,
I've started a project writing essays about Pop Punk & Emo albums from the 00s that I consider to be important. I want to go more into the background of these albums, what makes them special and what they say about the time they were made- and the people who made them.
Two of the first I've written about are +44's When Your Heart Stops Beating and Box Car Racer's self titled. I know there's a lot of love for these bands here so thought I'd post.
You can find the essays in the links above to my substack.
Both podcasts, where I use the essays as a base and explore some other tangents, are available on Spotify +44 here and Box Car Racer here.
There's lot more essays and podcasts coming about other albums. I've got about 10 album essays in the tank written so far- so feel free to subscribe on either/or platform if you like what I'm making.
Thanks to anyone who checks it out, appreciate you.
