[BONUS] Talking Sophomore Slump
Added 2024-01-12 20:30:02 +0000 UTCWe're joined by Maxton Waller as the group talks about Butthole Ricochet's album Sophomore Slump! We talk about the writing, rehearsal, and recording process. We're also including the original demos for songs (including an unused demo!) attached to this post!
Beth's inspiration/references playlist for the album can be found here!
(Note: This recording started late and ran late, so Anthony had to dip out part way through)

My favorite AC/DC song is no longer Dirty D and the Thunder Chief:/

2024-04-13 16:27:48 +0000 UTCAs an avid metal listener, Potato goes SOOOOOOO hard!!! Catch me in the pit with that one!

2024-03-09 16:04:14 +0000 UTCIf we can’t get Beth performing this live, could we get Maxton performing “Alright” or “On My Way?” 🙏🏼

2024-02-19 02:47:38 +0000 UTCFreddie and Maxton should legit start a band
Jamie Prest

Jelly_Wizzard
2024-02-07 12:49:48 +0000 UTCi would unironically buy a vinyl with this album on it and play it
Milo Edelman
2024-02-03 19:59:30 +0000 UTCSo when are you gonna press this into vinyl?

2024-02-01 20:29:06 +0000 UTCI don't know if they were directly referencing this article or came to the same concept separately, but for anyone who's interested in the "pop punk accent" thing, this article is great: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/i-made-a-linguistics-professor-listen-to-a-blink-182-song-and-analyze-the-accent

2024-01-31 23:02:59 +0000 UTCWould love to hear Maxton on a one shot with the rest of the group - he has a great vibe and fits right in

2024-01-30 04:46:48 +0000 UTCsorry to ruin matts theory but i don't like potatoes
jamie
2024-01-26 07:55:17 +0000 UTCLiterally loved this album so much I’ve been opening the Files app like a psychopath every day just to listen again, if Beth has no fans I’m dead
Tegan
2024-01-23 01:36:16 +0000 UTCIt was wonderful ^_^
Juliet
2024-01-22 10:59:58 +0000 UTCI'm DYING to get a Dead and Gone guitar solo tutorial from Freddie
Erick Contreras
2024-01-22 08:31:21 +0000 UTCDon't worry Will I like Rocks Rock more
Maxine Bailey
2024-01-20 18:20:45 +0000 UTCThe Beth version of Rogues Gallery isn't in the Demo file. Could you include it please?
Malory McVicker
2024-01-20 08:27:34 +0000 UTCDefinitely a great album, very Frank Turner, with a hint of Shane McGowan in the voice, and a ton of Scary in the feelings. Impressive.
Gilles Volluz
2024-01-19 05:43:12 +0000 UTCI think a lot of the musical influences that Scary would've been inspired by would've been considered "classic rock" by the time she was born, so it makes sense that her influences would be all over the spectrum of rock music.

2024-01-19 01:00:41 +0000 UTCThis whole album goes so hard - major pop punk fan and still an emo at heart, and this hits all the right spots!

2024-01-18 19:47:11 +0000 UTCwelp. not me bawling openly at work after listening to this demo lol
AliceAliceAlice
2024-01-17 17:51:07 +0000 UTCAs Avenged Sevenfold fans, me and my partner’s were head banging to the metal song
Gabriela Cortes Canchola
2024-01-17 02:29:11 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loving the demos, oh man. I keep listening to the no vocals demo of Potato (thanks for that, I love listening to instrumentals and being able to appreciate things I wouldn't otherwise notice!) and I realized that there's some bits in it that remind me of the dungeon theme in the very first Legend of Zelda from the NES. It's probably unintentional but a fun continuation of what could be a tradition started by the Gerudo Valley bit in Cummingtonite hahaha!
Gail
2024-01-17 01:45:16 +0000 UTCDoing a love song for Hermie as a goof and releasing it after his death is honestly very on brand for him 😬🥲
CliftonH_VA
2024-01-16 16:18:23 +0000 UTCDate T.Swift and you’re gonna get a song about you. Be in a Scary song and you’re gonna die.
Amanda Kissel
2024-01-16 08:45:28 +0000 UTCThe second I heard it, I was like, “Totally modern Annie. I love this.”
Amanda Kissel
2024-01-16 08:44:02 +0000 UTCThe metal song is fantastic (from an avenged sevenfold fan)
Abby W
2024-01-15 20:12:13 +0000 UTCAlternate timeline where Beth commits to Scary going full Dear Hermie Hansen after his death
Sand2Stone
2024-01-15 17:15:12 +0000 UTCThe fact that the drummer off sets his kicks is beyond insanity and I play heavy drums 🤯🤯🤯 mad props
Zach
2024-01-15 15:52:29 +0000 UTCOkay but please release the demos as Taylor's Version
Chantelle Black
2024-01-15 08:25:22 +0000 UTCObsessed with Dead Mom being on the inspo Playlist
Jacuzzi Jesus
2024-01-15 03:58:55 +0000 UTCThis was AMAZING and helped me appreciate the songs even more! Also thanks for telling us about the cool indestructable anti-social-media-addiction CAT flip phone, Will!
Stephen Belsky
2024-01-15 03:38:06 +0000 UTCNot calling this talking butthole was a missed opprotunity! Hahaha Also the whole like finding yourself in a varied sonically album reminds me of Olivia rodrigo and her genre shifting! It's totally a thing!

2024-01-14 20:36:55 +0000 UTCBeth. Its illegal to be this talented at everything.

2024-01-14 18:15:53 +0000 UTCThis really is becoming a dads podcast
Matt
2024-01-14 10:32:39 +0000 UTC*gasp* “Does it do email?” “Oh yeah it’ll do email in a pinch”
Matt
2024-01-14 10:32:22 +0000 UTCUnfortunately CAT is a target of the BDS campaign as they have a long history of providing equipment to Israel to use for home demolitions and building of illegal settlements. It was a CAT bulldozer that killed Rachel Corrie in 2003. Although it is a divestment target rather than a consumer boycott target, I imagine that’s because most individual consumers don’t purchase from CAT. To anyone looking to buy a new phone, I would highly recommend looking at alternatives! https://www.instagram.com/p/C1wm2RWM2BS/?igsh=MXZ3aGRkdXFtZzdieQ== https://investigate.afsc.org/company/caterpillar

2024-01-14 00:53:23 +0000 UTCAW! Maxton we fans also love you!
Brynnah
2024-01-14 00:20:00 +0000 UTCYes! So glad that Beth said it was Annie inspired cuz I was like nooo, that can’t be it
Brynnah
2024-01-13 23:23:43 +0000 UTCThe issue with this album is that when ever I listen to a different album I'm like "hmm I could be getting my slump on in a sophomore way right now"
DanDeLion
2024-01-13 23:18:03 +0000 UTCso next ep the 16th?

2024-01-13 21:29:11 +0000 UTCThis might be a dumb question but did rocks rock get this treatment too?
Creekie05
2024-01-13 20:38:22 +0000 UTCHot take: Will plays sax. The season 3 album should be ska.
Zack Houser
2024-01-13 20:15:06 +0000 UTCWhy dose Maxton sound just like Arnie Niekamp from “Hello from the magic tavern” or is it just me?
Zachary Rico
