Naked Aggression was scheduled to play one of the upcoming Punk in the Park road show dates. However, the band has dropped off the lineup. This move was taken due to the fact that fest founder, Cameron Collins, was previously discovered to have donated to the last Trump presidential campaign. You can see the band's statement below.

Asthma Kids have released a video for their song “Our Demands Are Non-Negotiable”. The video was directed and choreographed by Visuale Dance Crew out of Venezuela. Speaking about the video, Trevor said, "The idea of a video came about as a thought experiment. How could I get a video/song in my 15-year-old daughter's algorithm (she doesn't listen to/watch punk)? She's into hip-hop dance, so the absolutely ridiculous idea of a dance video to one of our overtly political songs took hold. Jump ahead a couple weeks, and I was having problems trying to promote another lyric idea from our EP — I'm assuming because lyrics made fun of Tesla, crypto, and had the words 'fascist fuck', but who knows. I found a Venezuelan woman-owned choreographer/production company that did custom dance videos. I reached out, made the deal. I provided our logo and complete creative freedom. The result was weird. I was worried that it would look like we were being exploitative, or worse. I know our politics, which we live, but we are white, hetero, CIS. We have privilege. Something may be ironic to us. But our privilege may blind us sometimes. I'm lucky to be surrounded by hardcore feminists in my life. So I reached out to get their opinion. They like it, so we decided to release the video. It still makes me laugh. Nothing like the moody art pieces of our first two videos from this EP. It looks like a TikTok piece, which was the original idea, but I can't get myself to do TikTok – yet. So it is what it is. I doubt I'd do it again. Too much second-guessing on stuff that I'll never be qualified to judge. But trying to do something that no one else has done before is a fun exercise because that's so hard to do. Thankfully, I'm disabled. So I won't have the disappointment of not being able to learn these sweet dance moves."The song is off Asthma Kids’ EP The Meek Are Getting Ready which was released in 2025. Check out the video below.
