The Kings of Punk Kings of Punk

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.

In this episode of The Kings of Punk Podcast, the hosts delve into the latest releases from KNOCKED LOOSE, TORTURE, CANDY APPLE, and BOOTLICKER. As they navigate through a diverse range of tracks, some things hit the mark for your discerning hosts... and some things, maybe not so much. They share their honest reactions regardless. Stay tuned as the troika dissects these hardcore (and adjacent) offerings with their signature wit and candor.

After a cold open infused with the joviality (and frivolity) KOPPOD listeners expect, the troika assesses and discusses the legacies of four underground/punk rock legends who passed in recent weeks: Steve Albini, Eddie "Leeway" Sutton, Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson, and Gary Floyd (of the Dicks). Not the first time these names have come up on KOPPOD; won't be the last. RIP.

The Kings are joined by special guest Cooper as they listen and review to the singular record by crust ska punk group Choking Victim. Kingsofpunk.com as always.

The boys return to close the book on Youth of Today as well as discuss their legacy as well as the pioneering sounds of the mid to late 80s hc movement known now as youth crew.
