What’s up, everyone? This week is a lot like the week before it. There wasn’t a lot of exciting news to report. But as promised, here is your weekly newsletter. We did get news of Mark Hoppus getting his own radio show, a new album from State Champs and another The All Punked Up Podcast episode!

Let’s get to it!
