102: Perennial + Eraser Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

There’s (almost) no time for snack talk because Nina attended Riot Fest over the weekend while Evan witnessed the power bill of Jim E. Brown, Uranium Club, Cherry Cheeks, and Citric Dummies. It’s a boom period for great live punk shows in the U.S. amid a killer week for excellent new punk records, including new stuff from Perennial, Eraser, Dabda, Fugitive Bubble, Meadow, and Name Names.

Further relevant links: Eraser’s interviews in The Line of Best Fit and see/saw jukebox, the latest installment of see/saw’s Punk This Week column, and the Mary Wallopers.

98: Plum + Guiding Light Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

Nina’s voice is compromised once again, but this time, it’s Alan Schilke’s fault. That’s right, she’s back from Cedar Point, where a surprise literally fell into her lap during one of many rollercoaster rides. Nina gets to the Sweeping Promises gig. Evan’s drinkin’ huckleberry soda. We talk about Plum, Guiding Light, Black Marble, Xanny Stars, Clean Slate, and Que Lindo.

For more on Oslo’s punk scene, read Erik Egenes’ “near-arctic state of alert” on see/saw.
