Legacy of... FUGAZI
The KINGS kick off the start of April with a deep dive into the raw, uncompromising legacy of one of hardcore punk’s most intense and influential bands: FUGAZI. Known for their blisteringly fast sound, politically charged lyrics, and confrontational presence, FUGAZI reshaped the boundaries of aggression in hardcore—laying the groundwork for what would become known as powerviolence.This episode portends a big KOPPOD month as it traces the band’s early years in Washington, D.C., their landmark recordings, and their lasting impact on generations of extreme music. From their iconic Repeater LP to their legendary $5 shows, FUGAZI’s presence looms large—and we’re breaking it all down here, on April 1st, 2025.Whether you’re a longtime fan or just hearing about them for the first time right now, as March has come to a close, this episode is required listening for anyone interested in how hardcore evolved at the margins—and how FUGAZI helped redefine its fury.

Youth Attack! Records (Pt. 2): Intro to "Mysterious Guy Hardcore"
THE KINGS return with Part 2 of a deep dive into Youth Attack! Records—and per a listener's request, this episode also serves as an Intro to "Mysterious Guy Hardcore". What the hell does that even mean? What matters about this style? Why the air quotes? The KINGS are on the case, solving these mysteries with half-remembered shit from message boards as clues.Your three favorite DETECTIVES conduct forensic analysis of SALVATION, CULT RITUAL, GRINNING DEATH’S HEAD, VILE GASH, SQRM, and HOAX. If you're familiar with these cases, perhaps these sleuths clocked evidence you overlooked. If you've never heard this stuff, come break open a big unsolved X-File in today's episode.Thank you to everyone who's given us feedback and shared the show with others - the more you keep that going, the more we can keep this going.Website: KingsOfPunk.comIG: @koppodofficial
