ZINE HISTORY: Today we've got half a dozen issues of "Nerve" from 1986. A Canadian based music mag. A little more mainstream leaning, but still interesting. A lot of ads for local venues, you really get a feel of who was touring around Canada back then in the alt. scene archive.org/search?query...

NEW RELEASE: Magazino (GERMANY) - "My Computer" (2025) They set up a tent on the dividing line between Budget-Rock & Egg-Punk. My prediction: they have a drum machine for now, but eventually they'll have a live drummer. splitterrecords.bandcamp.com/track/my-com...

NEW RELEASE: Problem Addict (PENNSYLVANIA) - "Dead Tonight" (2025) Decidedly Punk, but taking a big drink of 50's & 60's stuff. You'd imagine them to have a Rat Fink-esque album cover at some point. problemaddict610.bandcamp.com/track/dead-t...

NEW RELEASE: Concepts Of A Band (ARIZONA) - "American Dream (Our Voice" (2025) They also go by "CxOxAxBx". I'll be frank, bad album cover, bad band name, the song starts & you're unsure about it, but once the vocals come you're sold. 80's sounding vocalist. cxoxaxbx.bandcamp.com/track/americ...

ZINE HISTORY: It's a little disorganized, but it looks like we got the full run of S.L.U.G. Salt Lake UnderGround. I've attached all 4 pages of issue #1. Slide 3 has a short history of Utah Punk. In total: 370 issues over 30 years. That's a lot of zining. Oh my archive.org/details/zine...

LIVE VIDEO: A band name that always raises eyebrows, Here's some recently uploaded live footage of Mr. Clit & The Pink Cigarettes. Again, I feel like you can guess what they sound like based off the thumbnail. youtu.be/0HmyL-8MN7s?...

OLD STUFF: "Get Off My Back" (1983) It's the grand Philly Hardcore compilation! It's an iconic piece of history, up there with the other great regional hardcore comps of the era. Maybe my favorite stuff on here is the art-damaged Heathens at the very end of the record. youtu.be/k8JHtjWw60s?...

LIVE VIDEO: Body World from Philly live in Iowa City this past Saturday afternoon. You can probably tell from the thumbnail, but they're a hardcore band. youtu.be/OVAhfGN5i0c?...

NEW RELEASE: Billiam (AUSTRALIA) - "Sylvie S Goes To Hawaii" (2025) An experiment into the maximum amount of music you can fit on a 7". One side is a single five minute long song. The B-Side is five individual songs, each 60 seconds long. Egg-Punk! hiimbilliam.bandcamp.com/album/sylvie...

ZINE HISTORY: 1/Alright, this one is slightly zine ADJACENT, but it still counts. The link is to a 1987 mail order distributor catalog from West Germany. Mostly on English. It's very interesting to see, because arguably, the European Punk scene was in better shape... archive.org/details/x-mi...

PLAYLIST CORNER: And when DMZ broke up, 3/5 of them went on to form The Lyres. Even more 60's sounding, somehow. Four hours of material at the link. The songs on this playlist were recorded between 1984-1994. open.spotify.com/playlist/7hc...

PLAYLIST CORNER: Crypt Records also put out a couple DMZ reissues, so they count for my loose theme today. A late 70's band that sounded like a mid 60's band. Boston, bad attitudes. 224 minutes of material at the link. open.spotify.com/playlist/0Zm...

PLAYLIST CORNER: Here's nearly 3 hours of The Pleasure Fuckers from Spain. They were never on Crypt Records, but they very much could've been. They fit the model of bands I want to hear at least five of at every Gonerfest. open.spotify.com/playlist/17b...

PLAYLIST CORNER: Speaking of Crypt Records, let's do some more playlists of Crypt bands. Here is 7 & a half hours of 9lb. Hammer. Garage-Punk with a pronounced Country Twang to 'em. They still play shows, I think? open.spotify.com/playlist/6h0...

PLAYLIST CORNER: Have I really not done the Devil Dogs yet? Okay, well, here's 152 minutes of The Devil Dogs. One of the cornerstones of Crypt Records back in the day. More 50's sounding than 60's sounding, but still Punk-Rock all the way down. open.spotify.com/playlist/6lJ...

NEW RELEASE: Perro Mundo (ILLINOIS) - "Agua De Sandia" (2025) These Chicagoans are doing the Cold-Oi!/Oi!-Division thing filtered through a whole bunch of Hardcore. I guess this is what bands are now? Hardcore & Oi! & Post-Punk all at the same time? extinctionburst.bandcamp.com/track/agua-d...

LIVE VIDEO: Consensus Madness from Chicago, live in Chicago this past Thursday night. Yer good old, classic high-pitched vocal Garage-Punk. Kevin from the Krunchies used to be in this band, but Cel Ray was taking up too much of his time, so he had to Sophie's Choice it. youtu.be/5FcjuBICm5s?...

Minneapolis' Panel, a band from the great Annie Sparrows (Green/Blue, the Soviettes), has been a favorite since I saw them at Eagles last year. Their recorded debut has deepened my appreciation significantly 💘 The new PUNK THIS WEEK also covers new ones from Self Improvement, PUFFER, and 18 others.

NEW RELEASE: Vehemencia (HUNGARY) - "Büntetés" (2025) Noisy, non-metal hardcore with good vocals from Budapest. A search says I've never posted them before, but my phone's autocorrect knew how to type their name. Very suspicious. vehemencia420.bandcamp.com/track/b-ntet-s
