In episode 287 of the podcast, we’re joined by Ryan Zwiefelhofer (bass) and Kaylan Cloyd (guitar) of the band Acceptance. 

We dig into 20 years of ‘Phantoms’, from their early signing to Columbia Records, its initial release, and their decision to re-record it with guest features from the likes of Teddy Swims, Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low) and many others.  

‘Phantoms’ is a record we hold near and dear to the pod, and it was a blast to find out the behind the scenes stories of its creation and the band breathing new life into it now, 20 years later. ‘Phantoms/Twenty’ is out now on Equal Vision Records. Acceptance forever!
