News you may have missed! (4/24/20)
The Used and Mark Hoppus collab, a new Paramore album and an update on the All Punked Up podcast.
Hey, everyone! It’s Friday, which means we another mailer for you. It looks like a lot of the United States is opening back up slowly. Not sure how I really feel about that right now. But I do hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy.
One thing I’d like to point out before we get started is what All Punked Up has decided to do. We have decided to start giving back. If we’ve learned anything during the last couple of months, it’s that giving back is so important. With that said, for our store, we’ve decided that for every order made, All Punked Up will donate 10 meals to fight hunger via Feeding America. We had a great response when this was announced earlier this week which is amazing! Let’s donate together.
So with that said, let’s get to the news.
