see/saw jukebox: sweeping promises

see/saw jukebox is a bonus podcast about perfect punk records from Punk This Week hosts Nina Corcoran and Evan Minsker. Each episode, we’re joined by special guests to curate perfect punk records for a mythical jukebox.

This time around, we’re joined by Sweeping Promises prior to the release of their new album You Say I Romanticize. Lira Mondal and Caufield Schnug discuss their Boston years, the ups and downs of literally living in the studio, their ambitious plans to record Good Living Is Coming for You in its entirety at an Airbnb in Marfa, plus some of their favorite punk albums of all time. Also mentioned: scrobbling, harmonizing with the radio, basement shows, learning to slap bass, and a teaser about their next project.

This episode of see/saw jukebox is free! An ad-free version and every other episode of this bonus podcast is available only to see/saw’s paid subscribers; find that link at the bottom of this page.
