Interviews: Basking in the 'Half Glow' with Travis Miles of The Penske File

It’ll take a lot more than a stolen van and a global pandemic to stop The Penske File. During these hardships, the punk rock trio channelled their indomitable will and formidable bond into the 12 tracks that make up their fourth album Half Glow. They explore coming of age in the modern world, delve into the duality of life, and celebrate friendship with poetic lyrics, infectious hooks, and unwavering energy. Half Glow is available now via Stomp Records and The Penske File will be touring Canada starting next week. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with guitarist and vocalist Travis Miles over Zoom to talk about the new album, the importance of reconnecting with your friends, poems about the gold rush, and much more.

Exclusive Videos: Watch the new video by Avem!

Today we are super stoked to bring you the premiere of the new video by Southern Ontario-based bird-watching punks Avem! The video is for “Puffin Toss” which is the final track off their recently released EP Nerdin’ About Birdin’ which is out now via Mom’s Basement Records (which we spoke to Julian about earlier this year). Speaking about the song, the band said, “‘Puffin Toss’ was inspired by the loss being felt across all of North America due to the public health crisis of addiction. It relates addiction to the true story of baby puffins (pufflings) being drawn to light pollution of cities and towns at night rather than following the moonlight to the ocean. These lost pufflings die without the intervention of humans, who toss them off the cliffs so they can safely make it out to the ocean. We wonder who is lucky, the puffling who made it out to the ocean unscathed, or the puffling who got the help it needed to survive. Or perhaps, everyone is just lucky to be alive.” Avem will be touring the US with Booze and Glory starting later this month. The band will also be making stops at Mom’s Basement Fest and FEST in October. Watch the video below!
