News you may have missed! (10/30/20)
Hayley Williams responds to ex-bandmate's homophobic comments. Guitar Center going bankrupt? A plan to save music venues. Fearless Records signs new band and much more!

Good morning, everyone! I cannot believe that today is Halloween. I mean, where has the time gone? It seriously seems like March 2020 happened not that long ago, but at the same time, it seems like it was so long ago. Am I the only one who feels this way? Either way, November is just a couple days away. The U.S. election is only a few days away (November 3rd) and all of these damn political ads will go away very soon. Thank goodness, right?
I will say, at this point, if you’re planning on mailing in your ballot, you should definitely go drop off your ballot at an official drop box instead. Just to insure that your ballot gets turned in on time and counted. No matter how you vote, just vote.
The All Punked Up Podcast
We all took a much needed break last week; and therefore, didn’t release a podcast episode this week. We recorded a new episode last night (Thursday), however. So you can expect to hear a new episode this Monday. The topic? Since you’re a newsletter subscriber, we’ll reveal the title name: We NEED to talk about artists whining about Spotify compensation. That’s at least the working title right now. We talk about that and dive into some scene news.
