The end of the end?
This has been a long time coming. When Michelle and I first started Totally Crushed Out three years ago, it was to have the freedom to write about whatever, whenever with a rotating cast of pop culture savvy people. We’ve had an opportunity to talk to a bunch of awesome people and go to shows and just basically enjoy our collective late twenties because of this.  There also came a point,...

Stuff You Will Hate: Todd Jones of NAILS on SYWH... →
sergeantd: After a brief hiatus, the Stuff You Will Hate podcast is back! I was joined by my cohost ShawnYouWillHate and our guest Todd Jones of NAILS (ex Betrayed/Terror/Carry On/etc), who was fresh off a visit to the inventor of scene hair. We discussed his status as the most copied man in… Whether you have your own disapproving opinion of Sergeant D and Stuff You Will Hate or not,...

Like Bats, "Midwest Nothing"
Like Bats “Midwest Nothing” (TBD) It’s weird to think that Like Bats hasn’t put out any new material since 2010’s “Look On the Bright Side,” let alone a proper full-length. Maybe it’s because I never stopped listening to their records, but here we are, 2012 and they’ve put out “Midwest Nothing,” a record in which the Hoosier three-piece is coming into their own. Looking past the The Lawrence...

John Mulaney, "New In Town"
John Mulaney New In Town (Comedy Central Records) John Mulaney tells jokes that can only be appreciated by Midwest kids in their late 20s and early 30s. Okay, yes that the previous statement is a complete lie. I am biased when it comes to John Mulaney. We grew up in the same area during the same time. It’s like a, “you had to be there!” moment, but for 18 years. We at Totally...

Placeholder, "Nothing is Pure"
Placeholder “Nothing is Pure” (Better Days) A few months ago when Totally Crushed Out interviewed Coastal, we knew that they would be a band that was on the precipice of breaking big, particularly in their brand of revivalist emo. Now armed with a new name (fuck lawsuits, amirite?) and a new full-length, the rebranded Placeholder is sure to keep the momentum going. What’s great about Placeholder...

Not Yet! Interview
Not Yet! Interview by Ryan Pangilinan Remember the first time you heard your first Fat Wreck or Epitaph band? Exciting, right? For me, I embarrassingly heard Pennywise on one those Punk-O-Rama compilations and wanted everyday to be Warped Tour. Hey, I was in high school, cut me a break, aiight? Anyway, Columbus, OH’s Not Yet! sounds like a band that would fit perfectly on one of those old punk...

Waxahatchee Interview
Waxahatchee Interview by Ryan Pangilinan It goes without saying, that Waxahatchee’s “American Weekend” is one of my favorite records in the last few years. It made the top of my list for favorite albums for our sister site, Redefine, and it continues to amaze me with every spin. We at Totally Crushed Out champion Waxahatchee’s singular band member, Katie Crutchfield (PS Eliot, Bad Banana, The...

Bayside Interview
Bayside Interview by Ryan Pangilinan New York outfit Bayside is easily one of the most sonically polarizing bands out on the scene today. While their earliest material featured the band playing breakneck speed pop-punk, their sound developed quickly into what you hear now, which blurs the lines between several genres. Their latest record, “Killing Time,” is, at times, caustic, frenetic, but...

Childish Gambino, "Camp"
Childish Gambino “Camp” (Glassnote) As a fan of comedy, I can say that Donald Glover is probably one of the most unique voices out there right now. Not only is he sharp in absurdist comedy (Derrick Comedy), but even in performing in a commercial situation (30 Rock, Community), Glover has a chameleon-like ability to adapt well. For his long-running hip-hop alter ego, Childish Gambino, Glover...

Totally Crushed Out: PS Eliot Interview →
P.S. (I love) Eliot By Ryan Pangilinan Without trying to drop too much hyperbole, Alabama-based P.S. Eliot’s “Introverted Romance in Our Troubled Minds” is one of my favorite debut records of all time. It definitely made the top of my best of 2009 list for Redefine. The band’s lo-fi EP, “The Bike… PS Eliot will be performing their last shows this fall, so I’m reposting our...
