    87: Eddy Current Suppression Ring + Hillsboro

    Evan and Nina celebrated some dear friends over the weekend. This happened mere days after getting shouted at by one of their heroes during a taping of see/saw jukebox. (Everybody’s cool, it’s an amazing conversation.) We tell the story of that imminent episode and talk about some records that remind us of Zorak and Breakout. It’s episode 87 featuring new ones from Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Hillsboro, Concrete Lawn, Emergeense, WWW, and DALAÏDRAMA.

    84: Cola + T-Models

    Evan tries root beer float cereal, Nina orders an alcoholic root beer, and we both go see Reno’s Rotary Club on their conquering tour of the Midwest. We both admit that we wish we had fancy globe bar carts in our respective offices, and we pay our respects to Greedo’s dying word (2019). This week we’re getting into new records from Cola, T-Models, Fiona Slide, Automatic Lovers, open carry state, and King Automatic. Remember to grab a copy of teeter/totter: a see/saw benefit.

    83: No Peeling + Heathen Axe

    How does Max Rebo get into that circular keyboard? What’s he wearing under there? One thing’s for certain: He’d smoke Dr. Teeth in a battle set. We discuss these possibilities, shout at George Lucas, eat some cookies, and discuss a stacked week’s bevy of riches by No Peeling, Heathen Axe (John Dwyer’s new band), Puzzlehead (check out Big Sniff too), World Peace, Mock Execution, and the split from Maxshh and Crimson Blue. Also: There’s another new HARD PIVOT! Be sure to pick up a copy of teeter/totter: a see/saw benefit. More physical copies are being made.

    With WrestleMania fever in the air, Nina and Evan announce their respective finishing maneuvers. Evan tastes his own blood in the Reek Minds pit. Nina basks in a hometown Ratboys gig (after writing a feature on them earlier this year) and interviews American Football in front of a live audience. It’s six genuinely unbelievable punk records on the pod this week, with new ones from Media Puzzle, Choncy, Prince Daddy & the Hyena, Tonya, the Arrivals, and Winston Hightower.
