Also: Punk Night in Menomonie approaches. - Author: Evan Minsker - Tags: playlist Last night was fun. Shout out my family’s home states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Texas, in particular. October was a very good month for new punk records. This week, I got a song stuck in my head and when I went to look for it, I was like, “Oh right, it was on the [benefit compilation](https://see-sawdotfun.bandcamp.com/album/teeter-totter-a-see-saw-benefit?ref=see-saw.fun) I put together this year.” That was this year! I’ve been remembering that my job for a dozen years was “music news.” This year I’ve curated a gallery show about regional punk (more on that in a second), had a hand in booking/promoting a dozen shows, put together that compilation, wrote and edited a bunch, did the podcast and radio show every week, and pretty soon, I’ll announce this year’s [annual](https://see-saw.fun/see-saws-top-54-punk-rocknroll-records-of-2025-a-zine/) best punk records zine. Running see/saw as this maximal all-in love letter to punk, while parenting and navigating partial employment, means the future of this operation is always uncertain. One day I’ll probably have to stop doing so much. But that said, I’ve got some events coming up soon. November 11 is Punk Night in Menomonie, Wisconsin. It’s two art exhibitions and two punk shows on a Wednesday night in the Chippewa Valley. Consider coming to these things! ![Punk Night in Menomonie 11-11-2026; flyer by Tyler Nickell](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/ca/31caa30b-1a72-4fa1-a48d-e09f6cd6259f/content/images/2026/11/111126.png) Punk Night in Menomonie 11-11-2026; flyer by Tyler Nickell I curated the gallery show [*notaflof: wisco + mpls punk in the ’20s*](https://www.instagram.com/p/DfAdBFyOqq5/?ref=see-saw.fun)at [UW-Stout’s Furlong Gallery](https://www.uwstout.edu/academics/colleges-schools/college-arts-and-human-sciences/school-art-design/furlong-gallery/gallery-schedule?ref=see-saw.fun)*.* It’s a show featuring artwork and artifacts by regional punks including members of the Minneapolis Uranium Club, gash, U.T.A.I., Makin’ Out, Citric Dummies, Pleasure Cube, Royal Brat, and BUIO OMEGA. There’s also vinyl and cassette listening stations, a video installation, and some zines. The reception for this show and Calee Cecconi’s *Low Fidelity Design* takes place at the Furlong from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m on 11/11. Then head over to the Student Center’s Fireside Cafe for a free gash + Yuasa-Exide show that goes from 7 to 9 p.m. There’s an afterparty with Buffalo’s Jake King Band at Brewery Nønic; the band starts at 9:30 p.m. The gallery show is stuffed with cool stuff and all these bands rule, so come on out to three can’t-miss Menomonie events on 11/11 if you’re in the region. I’ll do a proper announcement of the see/saw year-end zine release show at Leona’s in Eau Claire on December 17 soon, but you should save the date if you can make it. Visual Learner and Answering Machines are going to play, and I’ll DJ my favorite punk songs of the year. This one’s also free. It’s getting colder out, so let’s have some fun. Hey, you hear all these good punk songs from October? Come on over and hit play, it was a good month. --- [**see/saw’s 58 best punk songs of october 2026**](https://www.buymusic.club/list/seesaw-seesaws-best-punk-songs-of-october-2026?ref=see-saw.fun) Cammy Cautious and the Wrestlers - Hot Visual Learner - Liar The Etters - Kopschoppen Invertebrates - Shock Control Nisemono - 軍国主義 (Gunkoku Shugi) Baby Tyler - Ignoring Signs Real Shocks - For Pay The Bolt Ons - Does Ash Wyatt Like Swimming GRISAILLE - Un Nouveau Jour Yuasa-Exide - Holistic Drop Out Billiam - Unemployable Diet of Worms - The Tower Tramhaus - Overachiever, Big Believer Seconds - Actual Cat MR. \[REDACTED\] - EVAPORATED / LEVITATION EASON! - Know It All Sick Thoughts - No Longer Human Cult Crime - Shot to Hell Salmon Sisters - Steady Decline ROBBER - No Mercy RÄKIÄ - Sotahullut Secrecy - Knife in My Dreams The Lunatics - Ghost Town CLASS - Take Me With You Havana Syndrome - Modern Crusader Twerp - (I Just Wanna) Be a Ramone Allusion - Pris Pour Cible Power Pants - That Could Be You Pardoner - Don’t Slouch Constant Insult - Clever Medicine Slick - Red Scare Famous Mammals - Flash #1 Bath Drawers - PBD W-9 - Elvis Garbanzo - No Fun Public Acid - Blind Death Traumatizer - Condemned Soup Activists - Johnny Kohti Tuhoa - Onko Sinusta Menestyjäksi?
