Alkaline Trio - Goddamnit

Author: Duncan Smith + Scott Smith August 4, 2026 Duration: 1:53:07

Set your alarms for 6 o'clock, because it's time we discuss Alkaline Trio's debut album, Goddamnit! One of the latest additions to this year's Montreal Warped Tour, they've given us the perfect excuse to book a trip to the City of Festivals this summer. It may not be Halloween yet, but it's always Alky season.

Released in 1998 on Asian Man Records, Alkaline Trio gave us what many consider the greatest debut punk album ever made.

So, enjoy your day, enjoy the episode, and "don't forget to let your life rot you inside out"

Blood Pact for life.

You know that feeling when you find a CD you haven't spun in years, and the opening chords instantly drag you back to a specific moment? That's the spirit of The Pod Punk Cast. Hosted by brothers Duncan Smith and Scott Smith, this isn't just a clinical review show. It's a conversation built on shared memories, sparked by the classic albums that defined a genre and, more importantly, their own lives. Each episode settles into a single, influential pop-punk record, pulling apart the tracklist, the production, and the cultural moment it captured. But the real heart of the discussion is the personal impact-how these albums provided a soundtrack for road trips, heartbreaks, and friendships, evolving in meaning from teenage years into adulthood. The result is a podcast that feels like hanging out in a friend's basement, debating whether that deep cut holds up and laughing about the times these songs meant everything. It's for anyone who believes music is more than background noise; it's a time capsule. Tune in for the deep dives on the bands you loved, but stay for the stories that remind you why they mattered in the first place.
