Punknews Podcast #700 debuts TOMORROW at 2pm est

The Punknews podcast approaches episode #700! (Actually it is more like #850 or so, because we have a lot of ".5" numbered episodes, but whatever). Now in its 25th year, the podcast has never missed a week of recording (though we upload at an unusual basis) and has for two and a half decades featured news, interviews, commentary, song debuts, game shows, dating shows, dj mixes, and a bunch of other wacky stuff. We laughed. We cried. We argued about who is the best singer of Black Flag. (It's Keith).

And so, we celebrated episode #700 with a five hour mega bash. In one live, chaotic sprint, we interviewed… ahem… Penny Rimbaud of Crass, The Dwarves, The Melvins, Husker Du, Redd Kross, Bratrmobile, Spike and the Gimme Gimmes, CJ Ramone, Cro-Mags, DFL, Catbite, Danbert Nobacon of Chumbawamba, Dom davi of Tsunami Bomb, Julia of The Coathangers, Jayniac Jr and Paige of streetlight records.

The mega-bash debuts TOMORROW at 2pm est… and then we will keep rolling right along!!!

Exploring the world of 'Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death' with William Von Ghould of Creeper

The sun sets, the moon rises, a vampire rock band comes out of the shadows, and a huntress is hot on their trail on Creeper’s new album Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death. Sanguivore II continues to expand the immersive and theatrical world of 2023’s Sanguivore with new characters, a compelling storyline, and killer tunes. The band’s love of ‘80s rock and metal shines through on arena-sized tracks that showcase their knack for infectious melodies, heavy riffs, and delightfully blood-soaked (and sexy) lyrics. The ‘80s serve as more than just a musical influence as the Satanic Panic infuses the storyline, from references to Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan to the crazed ranting of TV preachers. Drink the blood, keep your head, and turn Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death up loud this Halloween.

Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death will be out on Halloween, October 31, via Spinefarm Records and you can pick up a physical copy right here. Creeper will be touring Europe and the UK starting later this month and will be touring the US with Hawthorne Heights starting in March.

”This song came to me in a dream. It means a lot to me personally. The way we live out our lives, the constant struggle with depression and anxiety that can lead us into our own world, but sometimes we stay stuck. We forget to get back to our own humanity and stay afraid of what life may have in store.”
