Episode 205

Astonishingly late, here's the first of four new episodes of the Punknews Podcast we've bad clogging the pipes. On this episode a full hour of Adam White, John Gentile, Ricky Frankel, Mark Little and returning Punknews dad Joe Pelone take a long look at the legacy of Tommy Ramone, along the way playing some rare interview footage and a cool live Ramones track from near the end of his time performing with the group. We also chat about the new Joyce Manor record, the return of Samhain, the end of the Conor Oberst rape accusations and more.

Along with our Ramones cut this episode also features music from Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs. It also features a good amount of nigh-unlistenable mic static! Sorry about that.

Episode 203

Of course the best way to capitalize on our 200th episode momentum was with several weeks awkward of radio silence and a few poorly promoted follow-ups. We've got our act together though, and the Punknews Podcast soldiers on to the delight of all six of our listeners.

On this episode, John Gentile, Adam White, Ricky Frankel, Mark Little and Greg Simpson tackle a handful of news from the first week of July, including the on-stage controversy surrounding Brianna Collins of Tigers Jaw, Pup's Polaris prize nomination, Alkaline Trio album shows, The Dirty Nil on Fat, YouTube's treatment of indie artists and Jello Biafra's Amnesia Rockfest comments. That's not all! This episode starts with a special listener letter, rekindling the Transplants wars of yore.

This episode also features music from Mind Controls and Deathly The Dog.

The week of May 27th, 2014

In all the excitement around Punknews Podcast #200 we slacked on posting #199, but here it is and it's well worth your time. On this episode Adam White, Ricky Frankel and John Gentile are joined by special guest host Nikki of Toronto's Clash-obsessed Everything and the Kitchen Sink podcast for a discussion of recent events. We tackle the debate between Against Me! and Arcade Fire, the new Fucked Up and Masked Intruder records and the Rancid tribute record (which somehow becomes an absurdly extended discussion on the past, present and future of that band). We play music this time out from Sonic Avenues and The Meatmen.
