    Jun 10 2026

    Sometimes you’ve gotta mix your metal with hardcore! Brian explains how Lionheart’s Love Don’t Live Here gets him amped while Matt struggles to look past the “level-one” lyrics. Can they come to a consensus?

    From Hatebreed to Knocked Loose, the guys discuss hardcore bands they love to scream along to. Throw in a few glory hole jokes, and you’ve got yourself a complete Noise Report episode.

    May 27 2026

    Brian and Matt attempt to uncover why heavy metal workhorses Sevendust aren't as huge as they should be. And, is that even a bad thing? Listen for a discussion on Sevendust's 30+ year career with a focus on their 2001 album Animosity.

    Plus, that song we've been using as our theme? You deserve to hear the whole thing! Stick around until the end to hear the full "Family Affair" by Western Massachusetts metal band Split Shift.
