It’s a special episode of Roach Roach this week as the team welcomes The World’s Biggest Incubus Fan, Tim Kay, into the studio to talk about Make Yourself. Before they get to that, there is some Nonpoint feedback in Who’s Tweeting (1:45), along with a response from Revolver Magazine about our lists, the catch 22 of “Bodies”, and Lorin’s Wedding Song Ban List. Then it’s time to dive into Make Yourself (8:32), where we find out which song Tim wanted to play at his wedding, gain clarity about “The Whale Song”, find out a Beatle is an Incubus fan, and decide if Incubus deserve a place in the Nu-Metal Canon.

Roach Koach concludes Compilation Month with Strait Up, a record that unites a large number of nu-metal legends for one cause, to pay tribute to the late Snot frontman, Lynn Strait. Before Jenny, Lorin, and Matt get to that they have to talk about Who’s In The Studio and Who’s Tweeting(4:30)! We have Disturbed feedback, and we talk about who would win a fight, the Five Finger Death Punch guy or The Guy. Then it’s time to discuss Strait Up (17:45) and how it shows nu-metal artists dealing with grief, tugs at your nu-metal heart strings, and even activates the pit! Does it deserve a spot in the Nu-Metal Canon? Listen and find out!
