punk this week podcast 54: black eyes + shakti

Punk This Week is see/saw’s free weekly podcast from co-hosts Evan Minsker and Nina Corcoran—a discussion of the latest and greatest in the world of punk rock. We talk about six new punk records we’re loving from the past week.

We welcome spooky season with a live taste of Reggie! Bar’s unexpected 2025 reboot and then play a bunch of hardcore records by Slug, Endless Joy, Dry Socket, and Violencia. After noodling into the stratosphere with Blood Cannery, we discuss Black Eyes’ exceptional return on Dischord and an outstanding self-titled from Shakti on La Vida Es Un Mus.

Thanks to Baby Tyler Band for use of our theme song “Needs” off their self-titled album. Thanks to Waylon Thornton for the bumpers. Thanks to Tyler Nickell for the podcast’s artwork.
