Evan and Nina underline what’s been true all along: we’re Oscar and Slimy. Evan hangs out with the Sleaze, their dachshund friend, and the End Press in Minneapolis. Ritual Cross’ David Anthony gets a very specific compliment(?) from a child. We discuss a revelatory grilled cheese and rank Chicago-style hot dog ingredients.

And of course, we talk about six great new punk records by Institute, hotbrothers, Heather the Jerk, Personal Style, Mod Lang, and Hillbomb.

Be sure to check out Nina’s Best New Music review of Twisted Teens’ Blame the Clown (an album discussed on last week’s podcast) for Pitchfork. And definitely read Rocco Tenaglia’s new interview with Mod Lang for see/saw.
