    Not as good as the YouTube channel
    I was expecting more of the same level of content as is found on the YouTube channel. I listened to the worst songs of the 2000’s podcast here. It was just him crapping on the videos and very little about the songs. Seemed like he was just being mean to be mean instead of explaining why the sign sucked. Some of the choices in his list didn’t even get mentioned about the song and instead was him riffing on the video. This wasn’t the level of quality that the YouTube channel has. Disappointed.

    Inspirational and informative!
    As a big fan, I must say this is a truly inspiring and positive channel, and really brought some light into the dark abyss that I’m forced to call life. Hearing other artists discuss their struggles and inspirations really makes me feel a lot bigger as a person and not alone in the world. Give this podcast a listen, and I highly recommend the Mod Sun episode. Finn is an amazing person and so is this podcast. Much Love my friends <3

    The interviews are dope but ad placement and length kinda ruin it for me
    I’ve watched a lot of his YouTube stuff and really like it so when I found out he had a podcast I jumped on it. Problem for me is, there’s a ton of ads in the beginning and middle of the episodes. I get everyone needs to eat but when I’m the middle of a really cool interview and it’s interrupted with a bunch of lengthy ads that kind of come out of nowhere, it ruins it for me. My suggestion is put them in the beginning and end of the episodes, keep them out of the middle.

    Finn is right about black metal.
    Title.

    A must listen
    Been a fan of the YT channel for a long time, finally checked out this Podcast because Tommy End was on it. Now I need to go binge every episode

    Branching out!
    I watch PRMBA on YouTube but came to the podcast for Metal Jesus Rocks. I loved the crossover content and would love to hear PRMBA talk way more about their video game experiences and opinions.

    Business meets Scene
    Y’all I love this podcast. I’m in a wildly different industry, but I’m all about learning and growing my business and fiscal skills. Real convos, real concepts, interesting people. Count me in!

    Excellent Diverse
    I've watched Finn's youtube channel by the same name for a while and I really like his content. I thought i'd give his podcast a try. I wasn't dissapointed. He gives a great perspective on business which is a subject i've not dived into yet. Give it a listen if you like business from a punk rock (mindset) perspective.
  • Steviegraves13
    Awesome Show
    I love the authentic content and Finn’s delivery. Being a “scene kid” myself growing playing along side bands such as Winds of Plague, Suicide Silence, Impending Doom, A Day to Remember, The Devil Wears Prada, Sleeping Giant, and many more here in Southern California I can attest Finn is the real deal. He’s got great insight and I love his show.

    The best thing for heavy music since Slipknot completed metal
    Finn’s brilliantly thought out and delivers opinions backed up by fact & the undeniable understanding of a topic through having been there and lived it as it was unfolding, with the added benefits of hindsight/2020 and the wisdom of ageing makes PRMBA an essential part of any heavy music fan’s diet, education & lifestyle which is great, because Finn fits in like your best bud - the reliable, well mannered, funny & clever one... I doubt he will try and be the one to convince you that planking whilst tripping on the 144th floor balcony is a good idea... but you will win NYHC trivia night in the West Village and make it home in one piece I promise! The world needs more Finn’s!!! BRILLIANT - THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE NET!!!!
  • all lowercase
    This is ok but SYWH tho
    This is chill (wood recommend), but Finn was way more based back in the day when he was being completely politically incorrect and trolling Walking the Cadaver. U could have been the scene Carles bruh. :( but this is cool too, ur def my fave Intellectual Dark Web bbro
  • Cberryy
    10/10 Dude
    Been listening to Finn since I heard him on Chocolate Croissants and I can’t get enough of his insights on everything from music to mental health. This dude has the ability to be Rogan level someday in his own style. 10/10 always recommend!
  • Bert Einstein
    Tom Morello's brother killing it
    Awesome podcast. Check out the episode with Ian McFarland - amazing back story about the Godfathers of Hardcore.
  • Bj-xx
    Give it a listen
    Been following him on YouTube for over a year... this content is a great add. Not just music focused- you also pickup great tips for life and business.
  • Armando Ocon
    Been following Finn for a couple of years now
    Honestly he is one of the best commentators and interviewers always respectful and has great humor the fact that he works alone mostly from what I know is an inspiration and pushes the DIY boundaries I love that it isn’t always about bands or musicians there are some helpful insights from Finns own personal life from his experience within marketing, media, distribution, merchandise, etc it’s honestly great to see his platform rise and for those who love to see whose behind the driving Independent music of today this podcast would be a great endeavor to be invested within for all sorts of music industry or brand promotion and knowledge!
  • camdy
    Great informational content
    If you like alternative music (whatever you gunna call your fav genre), great informational content from inside the music business, inside the head of band leaders, how to handle everything in the business, plus so much more
  • ian.roth
    Awesome Show
    You can tell Finn knows his stuff. His guests provide relevant and interesting information and are super knowledgable. I haven't heard an episode that I dislike and I can’t believe this content is free. This show is a must listen.
  • Ubetchya
    Most Informative Podcast ever!
    I love tuning in to learn what Finn and his guests have to talk about. I feel like I gain so much knowledge that it encourages me to do better in my life and projects. If you have ever wanted to get in depth with how famous and successful people have made it from the bottom, then you need to listen in and prepare to take notes!
  • Tony_edge
    I can't believe this is free
    Honestly. The information that you get from this for 0 dollars is a gold mine. I love these indepth behind the curatin looks at the industry. A MUST for anyone that is looking to grow personally and professionaly
  • Charkanine
    Fantastic!
    This is one of my favorite podcasts about the music industry hands down, and that’s saying a lot with it being so new! Great job, Finn. Can’t wait to hear more.
  • thetempleofsteve
    Great Podcast!
    As with pretty much everything I’ve encountered from Finn, this podcast is very insightful, well thought out, and produced. There is a lot to be learned from this man, and the guests he has on his podcast. AND he has an awesome YouTube channel, which also contains great information on music and (more modern) music history. Thank you, Finn!
  • Ryanxj9000
    He also has a great YouTube channel
    Finn is awesome. Super knowledgable about music histories of diff bands, but also about the business side of the industry. If you are in a band, you need to listen to this. If you are a modern music fan (punk/metal genres mostly), check it out. Finn has a great personality and way of speaking. Good stuff!
  • Okonuk
    Has to be the best podcast of its kind
    I don't think anyone does business-related music interviews better than it is done here. I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys his YouTube channel and wants serious insights from people who know how to make a creative career happen.
  • annoyedsoccerfan
    Thank you for what you do
    Finn just gets it. He’s the music version of Gary V but even more realistic and inspiring. I’m a dj / producer and his insight helps me daily. Thank you for your content 🙏🏻
  • kirbyepsilon
    Super positive
    Coming from a similar age group as Finn, it’s really great hearing a peer comment on contemporary music in a positive and honest way. Really Pumped to see how the emo-rap genre evolves in the near future.
  • legal help me
    Relavant and entertaining
    Those are the two words I would use to describe this podcast. Finn is the man and I appreciate everything he does for this scene.
  • EtchedGooch

  • NOreasonY
    Insight for the curious punk

    Great podcast!!! Music and business mixed. Love it

  • Andrew_ftw
    Perfect Podcast
    Finn is doing something really special with this. Taking the current moments that artists and other industry professionals are living in then breaking down and explaining the steps that it takes to get there. Super insightful and extremely fun to listen to. Keep it going, it’s only up from here!
  • CMonty661
    This guy is a joke
    “Hey I booked shows once and name drop constantly. Don’t know the difference between adtr and daggermouth because I classify them both in the same genre of music. BecaUse they are pretty much the exact same band.... metal breakdowns and riffs with pop punk hooks is the same exact thing as hardcore two steps with super catchy vocals. Exact same thing people. I know everything. You know nothing. Welcome to the show....”
  • Ms82082
    Love the show man!
    I have been watching the YouTube channel for a while but I love that your doing the podcast so I can listen while driving! Learning lots from the channel! Loved the interview with attack attack it was a wake up call of the power we have with streaming and social media in the music industry as musicians.
  • thekrazytacoman

    Finn isn’t only a cool dude and amazing on YouTube, but he knows what he’s talking back. He doesn’t just spit out his opinion, he analyzes everything to give everybody a taste of other’s perspectives.
