The week of March 12, 2013

Still reeling from last week's Spring Break festivities and his campaign coverage efforts, John Gentile had to sit out this week's Punknews Podcast. Instead, Chris Moran, Bryne Yancey and Adam White convened to discuss Brooklyn-based Orthodox Jewish punks Moshiach Oi!, new beer from Municipal Waste, new barbecue sauce from GWAR, John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats sticking up for Justin Bieber, New Found Glory covering Ramones for a whole record and other things like the totally serious, not-whimsical-at-all campaign to "elect" Mikey Erg drummer of Against Me! that seems to be causing so much mental friction and much-needed analysis across the punk blogosphere. You know who you are.

We also touch on the upcoming Rise Against reissue of Revolutions Per Minute, the Strung Out box set and The Bronx joining Bad Religion on tour. This show is action-packed!

Plus, music from Comadre (RIP), Brutal Youth and Great Thunder.

Happy Spring Break 2013, everybody! This week the Punknews Podcast is live from warm and sunny Daytona Beach, FL, where Bryne Yancey, John Gentile and Adam White sip on umbrella-adorned cocktails and discuss Against Me! dropping off the Bad Religion tour, Rancid's new "authorized bootleg" and the merits of its existence, whether or not The Stooges have jumped the shark, David Bowie's new record, Randy Blythe's acquittal and Billie Joe Armstrong's oddly convenient cover story.

Plus, music from Congential Death and The Garden--the latter featuring the debut of Punknews Podcast contributor the Trackkeeper!

With the news of Metallica's second annual Orion Music + More, Bryne Yancey, John Gentile and Adam White pose the question: What bands would we want to see curate their own festivals? Also on this week's Punknews Podcast, we discuss the new Alkaline Trio single, Nine Inch Nails' return, gauge the importance of RVIVR and wonder if the world needs another Iggy and the Stooges record.

Plus, music from Dead To Rights, Brain Vacation and Sleep--the latter with perhaps the best song intro in Punknews Podcast history.

So we didn't get the podcast story posted last week because anarchy. All you savvy folks with a subscription of course already knew it was up.

…all this and music from Crazy and the Brains, Heathen Reign and Wolves at Bay.

Valentine's Day may have come and gone, but the Punknews Podcast is still here to "serenade" you with our "beautiful voices." This week Bryne Yancey, Chris Moran and Kira Wisniewski discuss whether or not we were once that kid in that new Bad Religion video. We also talk about Dave Hause moving to Rise Records (and fail to make the correlation between so many current Rise bands being former Paper + Plastick groups). Plus, we touch on RVIVR's new jam, Rival Schools' lost album and other bands' lost albums we'd like to see properly released, give two and a half mehs to the re-release of that Teenage Bottlerocket EP and reveal (sort of) why Bryne can't not watch the Grammys every year.

All this and brand new music from Modern Baseball, I Used To Be A Sparrow and a previously unreleased song from Crass.

Snowed in? The Punknews Podcast is here to melt away the snow around your heart. This week Bryne Yancey, Adam White and John Gentile theorize how our lives might be different if Fucked Up had blown up instead of Fall Out Boy. We also play an impromptu game of "Bad Punk Pun or Alkaline Trio Album Title?", speculate on the recording process of the new Against Me! record, wonder aloud why bands keep signing to Victory Records, talk about Morrissey's health issues while Google image searching "Barrett's esophagus" and discuss the price points for My Bloody Valentine's new album.

All this and brand new music from KEN mode and Mischief Brew.

Happy Puppy Bowl Day! This week on the Punknews Podcast, Bryne Yancey, Chris Moran and John Gentile decide between the dueling Black Flag reunions, fawn over the return of the Lawrence Arms and agree that The Bronx's new record rocks pretty hard.
