Let’s get to it.
News you may have missed…
Tom DeLonge teases new Angels & Airwaves song. From the sounds of this one, it really makes me eager to hear the upcoming album. Every song he’s teased or released sounds amazing.
Congratulations to New Found Glory as their ‘Sticks and Stones’ album goes Platinum. That album brings back so many memories for me. One of my favs for sure.

The All Punked Up Podcast: Episode #002
It’s Episode #002 of The All Punked Up Podcast. This episode was recorded around the beginning of June 2020. At this point, there had been 2 weeks worth of protests happening every day and night with people of different colors and backgrounds all attending and showing their support. The protests, as you know, were in response to the social injustices and the unequal treatment black Americans face on a daily basis from every day civilians to police officers. Our very own writer, Ian Thompson, a black American, joins us to help us understand the realities the United States faces from the perspective of a black American and how we all can help out.
We hope this episode helps you gain some knowledge on the subject, and maybe helps you figure out how you can help contribute to the cause.
Thanks for listening!
