Punk This Week

No Terry Cashman, but we’re talkin’ baseball to start the episode. Evan pledges allegiance to the Detroit Tigers. We go see shows headlined by the two most recent guests on the bonus podcast see/saw jukebox, Eraser and Touché Amoré. Bands around the world drop some serious heat: Clubhouse (Indonesia), Tórax y Las Extremidades (Mexico), Basic Income (Sweden), Esperanza (Japan), TOMB (Indonesia), and Flaws (Germany).

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.
