Growing Up Punk

Latest Episodes:

061: Broken Renaissance Coast Titled Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

It's the episode with the ridiculous name. It's also the episode where David and Aaron discuss The Broken Bones EP, The Renaissance EP, Left Coast Punk EP, and MXPX self-titled. It's a lot.

They break down each EP, and their memories of them, along with a favourite song from each EP. They then dive in to the latest full length from MXPX, all the good and the bad.

NOTE: due to some technical difficulties, the audio quality on this episode is a bit sub par to what we usually put out. Unfortunately it was an error that was picked up well into the episode, so it is what it is.
