Punk This Week

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.
