Journey to the Center of the Mailbag
lundi 27 mai 2024 • Duration 01:55:19
A jam-packed, full-ass-length episode of the Kings of Punk Podcast tackling a backlog of listener emails that's been piling up since the previous "Mailbag" episode in November of 2023. Your favorite hardcore punk and subculture commentary troika dive headfirst into the inbox to address your burning questions, impassioned rants, and hilarious stories (introducing Volume 1 of "The Coworker Chronicles") - expect both the width and breadth of topics to exceed mere hard core musings.
In addition, the troika shares some big news about the future of the podcast. For reasons that will become clear during the episode, they plan on taking a brief hiatus after this dip into the mailbag. Don't worry, punk's not dead and it's not the end of the world (or the podcast) - they plan to return be better than ever with new episodes and more hardcore and punk rock insight.

The KOPPOD troika kick back and relax in the wake of MARCH MAYHEM. Whilst chilling, they listen to VEIN.FM and react to their latest release.

MARCH MAYHEM: PUSZONE UNOFFICIAL TOP 100 of the 80s - THE FINALS
vendredi 1 avril 2022 • Duration 01:32:06
Two game-changing monsters of the underground, neck-to-neck in our annual MARCH MAYHEM tournament bracket. The KOPPOD troika argued and deliberated through Pushead's entire Unofficial Top 100 of the 80s and two records stood alone at March's close:
#25 NEGATIVE APPROACH 'Negative Approach' 7" vs. #11 G.I.S.M. 'Detestation' 12"
These records speak for themselves, but if you're reading this then you should listen to the KINGS speak on them as well. They start with a basic gestalt and discussion of each group before voting on their favorite, thus deciding the winner of this year's MARCH MAYHEM tournament bracket. After voting, each of the esteemed judges explains their selection. Thank you for joining us and following along with this tournament bracket, big thanks to our guest judges (NATE and GREY from DEMOLISTEN, CONNER and COUGAR), thanks to everybody who shared their own takes with us, and a very special thanks to PUSHEAD for compiling this list.
If you wanna sound off on this one, you can call the KOPPOD HOT TAKE HOTLINE at 585-348-8203 - if we get some good voicemails we'll play 'em on the pod. Regularly scheduled programming resumes next week.
