27 SEP 2026 · Nonpoint return with their eleventh studio album, The Last Word, a record that left us surprisingly divided. There are moments where the band sounds energized, focused, and determined to prove they still have plenty left to say. There are also moments that left us scratching our heads and wondering whether everything fully comes together. In this review, we break down the riffs, hooks, production, and songwriting to figure out where The Last Word succeeds, where it struggles, and why this might be one of the most difficult Nonpoint albums we've had to evaluate. Tell us why we're wrong.

25 SEP 2026 · This review is not sponsored by Wendy's!
Wendy’s just dropped a pop‑punk EP. Yes, that Wendy’s. In what might be the most unexpected release of the year, the fast‑food giant has traded burgers for breakdowns and somehow found its way into our review queue. In this episode, we dive into the songs, the lyrics, the memes, and the surprisingly serious question: is this just a clever marketing stunt, or does [EP Name] actually have some pop‑punk merit? We break down the best moments, the weirdest choices, and whether Wendy’s accidentally cooked up something worth revisiting. Tell us why we’re wrong. 🍔🎸
