Attention Docs-Till-Death-Heads! Break out your passports ‘cause we’re heading overseas to spend time with Punk in Africa. That’s right, it’s our first international doc! And not only did this movie introduce us to a significant cultural moment in early 80s South Africa, it also made us question whether we can say that we truly understand the term “punk.” Listen now, and get lost with us in the swell of floating signifiers!
This week, the Docs Till Death crew talks You Weren’t There and early Chicago punk. We’d love to tell you, fellow doc-heads, what we have to say about the yin and the yang of punk self awareness and punk performativity, the “get off my lawn” attitude of certain old punks, Chicago deep dish pizza, and other pressing concerns; but YOU WEREN’T THERE with us when we recorded the episode, and we want to hold that fact over your head. But don’t worry, you can still listen and find out what happened!
Sure, 2/3rds of your hosts have sxe tattoos, but that doesn't mean we don't like to get sleep drunk. Listen as Matt soul searches, Geoff slows down his speech to savor every syllable, and Pete reaches new levels of positivity (we didn't think it was possible!). Will these former Mass-holes discover the true meaning of Boston HC? Tune in and find out.
This week, we're excited to kick things off with our first - and one of THE first - punk docs: "The Decline of Western Civilization." Join us as Matt falls in and out of love with Eugene, Pete harnesses the explosive power of LA's early punk scene, and Geoff enjoys some Beef Bologna. You got a better idea for how to score some punk points? Get a stick-and-poke tattoo? That's not even that punk, poseur! Listen and find out why.
Welcome to Docs Till Death, the punk podcast where old punks discuss punk and hardcore documentaries in a very punky way. In this mini episode, we introduce ourselves, identify which hardcore bands are our spirit animals, commit libel by suggesting one of your favorite punk labels is actually a slush fund, and announce what documentary we'll be watching for our first full episode. Oi Oi Oi!
