Sep 26, 2020

Good morning! Hope you are doing well. I know you’re used to receiving these newsletters on Friday mornings, but I’m trying something new. With running the podcast, the news site, and trying to have these newsletters out on Fridays, it has become a little bit overwhelming at times. So you may start seeing these mailers hit your inboxes on Saturday mornings.

The All Punked Up Podcast

We released podcast episode #009 this week. Listen to Bailey, Natalie and I discuss the actual possibility of Trapt settling their legal issues between them and a videographer on an upcoming of Judge Judy. We also give their takes on the pop punk genre making moves into the mainstream which solidifies the inevitable comeback. Also, we talk about Hawthorne Heights giving Kanye West advice on whether or not to sue his label. You'll get all of this and more in this episode. So sit back, relax and let's dig in.
