The week of February 4, 2014 with Chris Farren

On this episode of the Punknews Podcast, Adam White and Armando Olivas are joined by punk celebrity Chris Farren of Fake Problems. Hijinks most certainly ensue. Chris reveals the secret of his online success, from his viral Smiths shirts, to his covers project at The Ruckus, to the annual cultural phenomenon of the #ChrisFarrenSuperbowlTweet. Not only that but Chris reveals some super secret recording plans that we promised not to make a big deal about yet. How do they stay secret when they're spoken plainly on the show? We don't know! Punk rock!

To top it off we discuss Dave Klein leaving Black Flag, the Colbert interview with Pussy Riot, the new bands added to Pouzza Fest, the break up of Bathurst and new music from Chumped, The Wild and Modern Baseball.

The week of December 31st, 2013 & more

It's a new year, the fog of lethargy fostered by two straight weeks of binge everything has lifted, time to catch up on your Punknews Podcasts.

Below you'll find links to download three recent shows we've not yet talked about here. First, on December 17th we bid farewell to Bryne Yancey on his final appearance on the show before leaving the Org to join the foreign legion. The following week is our Christmas episode, which features a truly terrifying Christmas carol performed by John Gentile that's truly worth subjecting yourself to. Seriously. Finally right after New Years John and Adam White got together to recap the year end lists and read some reader mail. We're taken to task for collectively ignoring the Transplants and Mr. Tim Armstrong. Guilty as charged.

These shows feature music from bands like Post Teens, Bomb The Music Industry!, Plow United, Crying and Pkew Pkew Pkew (Gunshots). Also, the December 24 episode features an extended interview with punk rock queen, Ani Kyd, where she and John Gentile talk about her new EP, being naked in front of Jello Biafra, and being raised Rastafari.

The weeks of December 3rd & 10th, 2013

So we're a little behind in posting these. Technical troubles. Somehow you all survived the lapse and we apologize for the surely agonizing wait.

Two weeks ago on the Punknews Podcast, John Gentile and Brittany Strummer unleashed an unplanned and delightfully off topic call in show. Among the listeners who dialed in to chat on air, we were graced by the presence of one Mr. Miguel Chen of Teenage Bottlerocket who shared with us his thoughts on Wyoming porno parties. Not to say that that subject couldn't fill a show, but we also found some time to touch on the recent Black Flag mess, the Warped Tour, the next Joyce Manor record and the upcoming Bruce Lee Band EP.

Last week, John Gentile and Adam White took a look at the possible Pussy Riot amnesty, Pup joining SideOneDummy, the new Pixies bassist, and the latest Pouzza Fest announcements (Chixdiggit! and a bunch of non-Chixdiggit acts).

During these episodes we spin some music by Smegma and the Nunz, Rudimentary Peni, Nobunny and Chrome.
