    Youth Attack! Records (Pt. 2): Intro to "Mysterious Guy Hardcore"

    THE KINGS return with Part 2 of a deep dive into Youth Attack! Records—and per a listener's request, this episode also serves as an Intro to "Mysterious Guy Hardcore". What the hell does that even mean? What matters about this style? Why the air quotes? The KINGS are on the case, solving these mysteries with half-remembered shit from message boards as clues. Your three favorite DETECTIVES conduct forensic analysis of SALVATION, CULT RITUAL, GRINNING DEATH’S HEAD, VILE GASH, SQRM, and HOAX. If you're familiar with these cases, perhaps these sleuths clocked evidence you overlooked. If you've never heard this stuff, come break open a big unsolved X-File in today's episode. Thank you to everyone who's given us feedback and shared the show with others - the more you keep that going, the more we can keep this going. Website: KingsOfPunk.com IG: @koppodofficial

    Rust Nelk Ripper Boys

    THE KINGS reflect on both the limits and value of punk rawk, in context of our mind-numbing Amerikan culture. In the second half, they present a gleaming spire of hope, emerging straight from THA LAND OF THA HEARTLESS, and recap their great weekend at RUST BELT RIPPER FEST in Cleveland, OH. Please let us know how the episode sounds - we want to focus on improving sound quality big time. I know theres a couple parts where I sniffle on mic and forgot to edit it out, sorry. But yeah tell us if there's anything else please. - Jake Razor Website: KingsOfPunk.com IG: @Koppodofficial

    Slackin' Off With Hardon

    *NOTE FROM JAKE RAZOR: I thought this got posted here last week. Patreon is supposed to post it here too when I mark an episode as "public". But I guess it didn't so here it is. If anyone know how to do this better and/or knows how to open PDF, plz advise* A relaxed recap regarding rousing renditions ... eh nah I'm not doing an allitteration thing, you don't care that much. But this is a "chill" episode for sure. But we talk about some actual topics: John Joseph's slanderous nonsense regarding RAYBEEZ The SIX FEET UNDER gig Gary and Tyler saw (and the opening bands) Plus some other things. We hope you enjoy - apologies for posting this over 12 hours later than we typically aim for. Website: KingsOfPunk.com IG: @koppodofficial

    Tallyin' the Score for 1984

    A long time ago, the KINGS did an episode focusing on the year 1979 from a subculture point-of-view; important albums, trends in underground music, plus some signature KOPPOD japes and musings. In THIS episode, the KOPPOD TROIKA does the same thing but for 1984! Well, more or less the same thing. Featuring some historical context, some editorials from Maximum Rock 'n' Roll, some personal favorites, and the introduction of BLOGSPOT HC as a good genre. KOPPOD analyzes the evolution and fragmentation of punk and hardcore in the Year 1984, and speculate about parallels one might find today. IG: @koppodofficial KingsofPunk.com

    Legacy of ... Rudimentary Peni (Part 1)

    Rudimentary Peni charted a lonesome path through corners of the human psyche seldom explored on punk rock records. Their singularmystique and style makes them a no-brainer 'Legacy of...' candidate - and it arrives hot on the heels of our 'Intro to... Outsider Music' episode. This episode surveys the first phase of Rudimentary Peni's tenure, from their debut EP through 1988's 'Cacophony' LP. Part 2 for Patreon subscribers arrives within a couple weeks.
