    PUNKS ON CINEMA: 'Nightclubbing: The Birth of Punk Rock in NYC'

    Hold onto your popular knapsack, because the latest episode of KINGS OF PUNK PODCAST has arrived in many different listening locations! Tubi-coded documentary "Nightclubbing: The Birth of Punk Rock in NYC" compiles lots of reminiscence about NYC’s underground rock grit, but did it do anything for THE KINGS? Our hosts dissect the documentary (suggested to us by a beloved listener [they’re all beloved, by all of us]), assessing its approach and sharing our own thoughts regarding its subject matter. But that's not all— we recorded this in the wake of the recent U.S. Presidential election, so you get to hear some off-topic and on-brand KOPPOD musings regarding its result.

    ALBUM SPOTLIGHT: FEAR 'The Record'

    How can a band create a "cookie-cutter" album when the cookies came out of the oven not long ago? In this episode of the Kings Upon Podcast, we explore FEAR's "lunk-coded" classic 'The Record'. What eccentricities and complexities did FEAR lodge between slices of beef baloney? And what ambiguities did they slather across the whole platter? Check out this episode to dine on our takes.

    Journey to the Center of the Mailbag

    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.

    Underground Eulogies (Part 2 Many)

    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.
