Punk This Week

Evan develops a burgeoning Vampire Crawlers addiction. Nina remembers some classic letters penned to her neighbors in Animal Crossing (2002). Which M&M is a union buster? Is Nina terrified of J.K. Simmons’ veiny guns? All this and a discussion of records by Assembly, Subtle Turnhips, Urq, GÖTRI, Cronies, and Fül Coverage during a wildly stacked week for punk music.

With WrestleMania fever in the air, Nina and Evan announce their respective finishing maneuvers. Evan tastes his own blood in the Reek Minds pit. Nina basks in a hometown Ratboys gig (after writing a feature on them earlier this year) and interviews American Football in front of a live audience. It’s six genuinely unbelievable punk records on the pod this week, with new ones from Media Puzzle, Choncy, Prince Daddy & the Hyena, Tonya, the Arrivals, and Winston Hightower.

We celebrate Easter with a visit from the Dr. Pepper-flavored Peep we’ve named Dr. Peeper. Nina meets Rocco for a summit about the state of the Reese’s Easter egg (and a Mclusky/Pile show). Evan browses a reasonably priced vintage Charlotte Hornets jacket on eBay. We discuss new records from Brainwash Victims, Pretty Baby, Yambag, Robber Robber (read Nina’s review in Pitchfork), Triple Ente, and the split from Mail. & Sects.

Fresh off the see/saw year 2 party, Evan breaks down an unbelievable night in Minneapolis. Nina balks at Evan’s MLB agnosticism; our hosts decide that he must choose between two teams. Nina’s dryer introduces itself as a third co-host. A wild hardcore record brings to mind a Frog and Toad story. We discuss new ones from Hedge, Censer, Stuck, Mother Nature, Rubble, and Physicalist.
