After a lengthy discussion about the circumstances in which we will celebrate a Calvin pissing bumper sticker, we talk about new records from Wandering Bird, Coffee Stain, Rhys Renwick, the Washington Apples, HONG!, and Amy Beth and Thee Creeps. It’s our last regular-format podcast of the year; next week we’ll share our punk favorites of 2025!

We still would love to know: Which Muppet are you? Take the quiz and tell us on Discord. Crucial links: A mother’s homemade Nazgûl costume and K9 Sniffies’ 2016 album Master’s Touch.

Remember to grab a copy of see/saw’s physical newsprint broadsheet featuring the 54 best punk + rock'n'roll records of 2025. It includes writing from Evan, Nina, and our talented friends!
