Punk This Week

On a post-Independence Day episode where we talk about the Ritornello Form, Hot Load, Grey Matter, Smirk, Far Too Late, and Chrome Cell Torture (plus ska, Nitro, and fruit salads), we open the episode with our overlooked favorite punk records from 2026 so far (which we hadn’t brought to the podcast this year so far).
Evan’s picks: Useless Eaters’ Music for Clout, Noxeema’s Sick, Body Shop’s Sex Body, Touch Girl Apple Blossom’s Graceful, and Aswan Dam’s In the Playground of the Damned. Nina’s picks: Latinameric Anfútbol, Lip Critic’s Theft World, Chemical Threat’s Promo Tape, and A.I. Death Calculator’s A.I. Death Calculator.

This new episode features records by Fiddlehead (read David Anthony’s piece), Alien Nosejob, Consensus Madness, Old Yeller, Girl Trouble, and Baby Jane.
Plus, Evan and Nina take a long walk through recent ponderings—seeing “Weird Al” live, hearing bluegrass gossip about troublemaking cloggers, the rebranded resurgence of FKA Altoids Sours, the possibility of violet-flavored Choward’s, Jeni’s Ice Cream flavors that unsurprisingly freak it, the backyard black raspberry crop, seeing The Fly for the first time, and of course, the identity of Carrot Bruce.

Don’t go down to the basement (to watch D. Sablu) while the Knicks lock down their historic game four comeback. Two decadent desserts: butterscotch budino and Stuf of Doom Oreos. We stan toot meme kings Miles Davis and Victor Von Doom. We’re mall walking, we’re demanding some globes (again), and we’re talking about new records from Buckets, Cherry Cheeks, Potluck!, Finale, Reveal Yourself, and the Sex Shoppe.

Evan and Nina discuss how many boxes of Cracker Jacks we’re putting down in a given year, New England-exclusive seltzer flavors, why all punk bands should be sending out fan club cards, and some great new records by Gimic, Edging, Pleasure Cube, Gripe, TANO!, and Prisão. (A bonus shout-out to Teathing, Osees, Slippers, and Rejecter.)
