These skate punk veterans are often included in late night drunken debates about most underrated punk bands (at least in our circles…what kinda losers are you runnin’ with?). With witty writing and next level musicality, this tremendous trio has consistently been pumping out high quality tunes for two decades while never flying too high on the punk rock radars outside of their SoCal scene. Drummer/Co-Vocalist David Green is amazing to watch live as he seamlessly weaves intricate drum fills behind his gravelly, snotty vocals (anyone else wanna see a drumming/singing battle to the death between David and Matt Caskitt?). The trio’s newest album The Forest was just released earlier this month and there’s not a single dud amongst the twelve tracks. If you haven’t listened to it, you’re missing out. So stream it below (even if you have listened to it, stream it again….you know you wanna) and while you’re at it, go ahead and write it in on your potential Albums of the Year Lists!
(*both laugh*) Episode 59: The Venomous Pinks!
<p>Episode 59 of (*both laugh*) brings us another full band episode! This time, we're joined by Drea Doll, Gaby Kaos and Cassie Jalilie, collectively known as the kick-ass Arizona punk rock trio The Venomous Pinks! 2022 marks their tenth year as a band, and it also marks the release of their very first full-length LP. Named "Vita Mors," it's due out on June 3rd via SBAM Records, a label you may remember from their owner's appearance on 36 of this very show a year ago!</p>
<p>We talk quite a bit about the new album and all that went in to its recording, a process which was handled by Cameron Webb and Linh Le, each of whom is a powerhouse in their own right. We also talked about the scenes in Mexico and Arizona and the Bay Area, and how the current lineup of the band inspired the push to make "Vita Mors" a reality. The band are also set to come to the East Coast for the first time in June, where they'll be opening up for the iconic Dead Kennedys and Nekromantix!</p>
