CAN'T MEEP NOW

Before Rob Caggiano was a super producer of bands like Cradle of Filth and 36 Crazyfists and even before riffin' and rockin' guitars as a member of Anthrax or Volbeat, Rob Caggiano was in the band BOILER ROOM who were signed to Roadrunner for an album to be released in 2000.

Their single "Do It Again" appeared on the RR compilation MTV'S RETURN OF THE ROCK but despite completing the record, the Big Bird did not actually officially release it but Tommy Boy Records did, and the band dispersed shortly after.

In this 100th episode we talk all about the Boiler Room album but also some bonus Meeping with Rob's first production for Roadrunner, Dry Kill Logic's 2001 release "The Darker Side of Nonsense." Sick.

MEEPICATED.

This episode tackles tha self-titled debut and farewell of midwest monsters, downthesun. This band has so many Slipknot ties and that pun writes itself but they didn't wear tha masks - you saw and heard exactly how ugly they were.

Vocalist Aaron Peltz (no face tattoos) tells us about how they were signed, working with Mega Meepster producer GGGarth Richardson, touring with Slayer, and imploding almost immediately.

Gross! Episode 100.

Each Meep Haunted.

The [Bruce] Banner from New Jersey were an interesting entry in tha world of metalcore in 2005. A punk rock aesthetic with a spooktacular subject matter wrapped up in breakdowns and mosh madness.

In this episode, singer Joey Southside takes us through the early beginnings of tha band, unlikely inspirations for their songs spanning from Batman video games to Outbreak, an argument about whether or not he wore eyeliner or not (he did), and bonds their scene formed internally with themselves and externally with multi-platinum partners My Chemical Romance.

All this and nothing else on Episode 100.

Now THAT'S a spicy MEEPBALL! Madball's 5th album, Legacy, was released domestically in tha U.S. under THA GUN aka Ferret and internationally on tha Bird - Roadrunner.

Madball broke up... for a year and then they got back together! With the core members of vocalist Fred and bassist Hoya, they were joined by ex-Hatebreed drummer Rigg Ross and Skarhead alumni MITTS on guitar.

B"M"D joins us to discuss tha first full length Madball album he was a part of, fresh off tha heels of his involvement in hardcore supergroup Rag Men with fellow Meepsters Bulldog from Earth Crisis and Jorge from ill Nino/Merauder/almost Sepultura.

And it's all over this 100th episode.
