On a post-Independence Day episode where we talk about the Ritornello Form, Hot Load, Grey Matter, Smirk, Far Too Late, and Chrome Cell Torture (plus ska, Nitro, and fruit salads), we open the episode with our overlooked favorite punk records from 2026 so far (which we hadn’t brought to the podcast this year so far). Evan’s picks: Useless Eaters’ Music for Clout, Noxeema’s Sick, Body Shop’s Sex Body, Touch Girl Apple Blossom’s Graceful, and Aswan Dam’s In the Playground of the Damned. Nina’s picks: Latinameric Anfútbol, Lip Critic’s Theft World, Chemical Threat’s Promo Tape, and A.I. Death Calculator’s A.I.
