Punk This Week

39: media puzzle + Nuclear Fear Jun 24, 2025

Our Midwestern punk pod duo are trying to beat the heat wave, which of course means they’re jumping in the pool, eating ice cream, and sweating it out at punk shows. This time they’re chatting about new records from Media Puzzle, Nuclear Fear, Mary Jam, Billiam, Skinhead, and Olive Seeds: An International Benefit for Mutual Aid in Gaza. We’d strongly encourage you to dive into the bigger pile of Gaza benefit punk compilations from last year.
