Punk This Week – Details, episodes & analysis

As of this moment, our podcast has joined Ruinous Media! We get a check-in from our new pod father Joe Plummer (Tour Stories, The Check-In) before we even had a chance to sweep up all the crumbs from our conversation about Wheatsville popcorn tofu, Jet’s turbo crust, and Cel-Ray.

Discussed this week are excellent new records from DBR, Gylt, Teini-Pää, Rifle, Poor Girl, and Fuckin’ Warheads.

Thanks to Ruinous Media for their network support. Thanks to Baby Tyler Band for use of our theme song “Needs” off their self-titled album. Thanks to Waylon Thornton for the bumpers. Thanks to Tyler Nickell for the podcast’s artwork.

Your hosts discuss being persuaded by bakery case cookies and cupcakes based on vibrant frosting color. Will we chomp into a dry disappointment or feel like a sweet little prince? We’re also talkin’ root beer floats and the lost secret to growing mint. The new year rolls on with great new records by Winged Wheel, Bungee Jumpers, Six Going on Seven, Doe St, Ritual Disorder, and mangled. Fuck ICE.

This week, Evan has a new crisis when he asks how do you carry your stuff around a music festival when you don't want to get your back all sweaty? Evan and Nina reveal their Menards-specific text exchanges, Nina plots an interview with the suburban Menards pianist, and we discover the return of Reggie! Bars. All this plus we discuss new ones from Snooper, BB BOMB, Total Con, G.A.Z.E., NULL, and the Etters.

Evan went to Gonerfest and all he got was a sore throat (and, of course, pretty sick...and a bunch of records). Nina saw that huge Turnstile show. In the midst of exciting weekends at the gigs, they recorded this episode of Punk This Week and found themselves exploring a psychological breakdown of all things Kermit.

This intro is long; we get to the records around 29-minute mark. Discussed this time are new records from Added Dimensions, Silo Kids, Genre, Nosepick, Permanent Opposite, and Property.

Evan gets his ass kicked for his ranking of Kermit the Frog in the greater Muppets universe and then cocoons fully into his stereotype of only talking about Australian punk bands. It’s an episode about new records from Nape Neck, the Prize, Billiam, Deaf Club, GOB, and the Quelques coups d'éclat compilation. Find full show notes on see-saw.fun!
