punk this week podcast: twisted teens + the carp

Punk This Week is see/saw’s 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.

After a discussion about the lucha mask that lives on the back of a baseball hat (see below), sour candies, Krill, and the hostile puppet takeover of a sick Chicago ice cream spot, Evan and Nina cement their legacy as innovators with the invention of Drumba.

They also discuss the new albums by Twisted Teens, the Carp, piso franco, NightFreak, La Increíble Patrulla X, and Vital Stress. Be sure to check out Matt Mitchell’s Twisted Teens feature for Paste Magazine, plus the “Florida Water Blues” music video and Caspian’s improvised song-turned-guinea pig sighting.
