The All Punked Up Podcast: Episode #003
Join us as Jason Tate takes us on the entire journey of what it was like to run the now defunct AbsolutePunk.net website in the early 2000s, how the site played a huge part in launching the careers of some of the bands we still love today, what he learned along the way and how he took that knowledge to re-brand what was our old favorite news site as a new and improved version that is now Chorus.fm. If you're a fan of the pop punk / emo / alternative scene, then you won't want to miss this episode.
Let us know what you'd like to hear us cover on this podcast in the comments below! This podcast is for YOU, so we want to cover what YOU want to hear.
