The 11th Hour, Episode #29: Young Al Capone

The 11th Hour is a podcast where two dudes in their 40s discuss a different Rancid song each week. They reflect on their lives, their (inexplicable) fandom, and why certain parts of our youth continue to hold meaning beyond simple nostalgia. Is it a midlife crisis or honest self-reflection? Join us on a journey to the end and find out. Follow along on Twitter or Instagram and find The 11th Hour on your favorite streaming/podcast app (StitcherAppleSpotify, etc) – and, of course, always on Foxy Digitalis.


Episode #29: Young Al Capone

This week we return to Lars’ stone-cold-shredders-that-mean-nothing with 2000’s Young Al Capone. A post-apocalyptic barreling ripper with a surprise gospel refrain. Call and response is the name of the game here. Between Lars and either Matt’s gurgling bass lines or the makeshift choir. A wonderful apex of the album it sits on.

Brad Rose is the the principal writer and editor-in-chief of Foxy Digitalis, an online music magazine and has run various DIY record labels for the last 30 years. Sam Melancon runs Debacle Records, an experimental record label out of Seattle, WA.
