News you may have missed! (4/17/20)

An All Punked Up Podcast coming soon? No concerts until Fall 2021? New music from The Used and Angels & Airwaves and so much more!

We reached the end of another week, so here we are with another mailer. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy… and sane. I know this time is hard for a lot of us and really hope you all are doing ok. Hang in there.

All Punked Up did something really cool yesterday. We had our first team meeting over Zoom. I can’t believe over the last 4 years, we haven’t done something like this. For me, it was really really awesome. Being able to hear my team members’ voices and see them live was just a great thing. We discussed ways in which we can make APU better, what we want to see more out of the site and how to be more engaging on social media. It was definitely a meeting that needed had and a ton of good stuff came out of it.

One of the best things we discussed was the upcoming All Punked Up Podcast. More on that below…

Let’s get to the news.

News you may have missed…

As mentioned last week (and the past 4 weeks), during this time, let’s make sure we are taking necessary precautions not only to keep ourselves safe, but others around us too. It’s being recommended that we not touch our face and that we wash our hands for at least 20 seconds. Above all, if you feel sick, stay home. Ok, to the news…

1. Hayley Williams releases new song “Why We Ever”

2. Concerts not returning until “Fall 2021 at the earliest”?

3. The Used shares new song “Cathedral Bell”

4. Speaking of The Used, Bert McCracken is teaming up with Five Star Extracts to produce exclusive cannabis line

5. Angels & Airwaves release new track “All That’s Left Is Love”

6. Yours Truly drops new single “Composure” with music video– listen

7. MxPx releases new deluxe edition of self-titled album

8. A Day To Remember drop new song “Mindreader”

9. Pierce The Veil do a home performance of “Hold On Till May”

10. Neck Deep drop new video for “When You Know”

All Punked Up specific news…

As I mentioned above, APU had its first team meeting over Zoom yesterday. One of the topics we discussed was the All Punked Up Podcast. You may remember I mentioned this in a recent mailer (check that out here to get caught up).

With everything going on, I thought that this podcast launch would need to wait until the people I had in mind to help run this podcast could all get together in one room. That meant waiting until the stay-at-home orders were done and then some. It really seemed like we were going to have to wait until mid- to late-summer. Well, we figured out a way, an innovative way, to start this thing almost immediately. Sweet!

Since the group is all in agreeance on launching this thing, we are now officially in the planning stages. We plan on having video and audio versions of these podcasts. I haven’t been more excited about APU since the launch of our merch store.

I’ll update you all with more info on this when I have it. Can’t wait!
