The Kings of Punk is a podcast about punk music and related subjects. It likely features conversations, commentary, and stories connected to punk culture, bands, and the people around the scene. The show also branches into other similar topics, giving it a loose and informal format beyond strict punk coverage.
Episodes
Called in Sick to the Emo List Factory
On this episode the kings take a look at the music genre and subculture known as EMO and dissect a bit of the Top 200 Emo Albums list by the website Emokidsanonymous. I can't include a link because my ISP is telling me the website is not secure and not chill to go to so maybe at some point they fix that BUT you can hear about it on this episode and hear our discussion of a few of the albums in
Two for One (Haywire 617 and Unseen Force)
The Kings talk new and old music specifically the new Haywire 617 album I Don't Want to Say Goodbye and the 1986 album In Search of the Truth by Unseen Force! An unlikely pair but what a treat for you, our listeners. kingsofpunk.com
UNLOCKED: Ella Langley Virginia (Premium)
We initially recorded this as a regular episode but we turned into a bonus and now we are now turning it back into a regular episode because we didn't record because Mr. Razor was out of town and we couldn't record! Maybe subscribe to the patreon at kingsofpunk.com
The Third Wave of Ska
The Kings have grabbed their boogie boards to ride the third wave of Ska and explore all that it has to offer from sunny California all the way to the rough and tumble streets of Boston. While this era is oft maligned (particularly when we get to the 90s) its important to take a moment to smell the roses rather than focus on the thorns and we hope you, our wonderful listeners, will find something
Intro to Ska pt. 2 - Two Tone
The Kings travel in time and space from the 60s in Jamaica to the late 70s in the UK to tackle what is now known as the second wave of Ska. Part revival, part new school twist, the sounds and scene quickly captivated the country. While the trend was fairly brief even compared to punk, it laid the foundation for what many people would think of when they heard the phrase Ska. Kingsofpunk.com
Intro to Ska - The First Wave
SKATEMBER IS HERE! The Kings make their way down to Jamrock to explore the history and roots of Ska. While lots of people think of this music as the sound a kid hears when their mozzarella sticks arrive at Chili's, the history and culture surrounding it have had huge reverberations in music globally and it deserves more recognition. kingsofpunk.com
#Dramaalert
This might not be a super interesting episode to most but there has been some "Drama" regarding our local scene that we simply had to discuss it but there are some great gems in this episode that we think stands up to our strict entertainment standards for our audience. Will this bother some people? Perhaps, but please feel free to LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW about how you feel and we can talk about it.
Last Call for Death Side
The Kings are back after a brief pause to discuss Jake and Tyler going to NYC to witness the last ever Death Side performance in the US as well as talk about a recent local show.

City to City - Lincoln Nebraska
Continuing their City to City series the Kings hitch a ride from the i90 to the i80 and stop in The Star City.

The Kings have a little fun and take a dive into a beloved album by NJ Hardcore/Rap Rock/Alt Metal band E.Town Concrete. Kingsofpunk.com
The Dicks Love Big Boys
In the city of Rochester we celebrate Pride Month in July, and to do that we covered two bands that we feel are very important in regards to not just LGBT visibility but punk and hardcore; Dicks and Big Boys. Both hailing from Austin TX, we feel they've flown under the radar for the new generation and they deserve the spotlight back on them again.kingsofpunk.com
