This week we are joined by Brandon Lewis, owner of Punkerton Records. We discuss the labels beginnings, what it means to be a DIY record company, how Brandon finds bands, the importance of standing up for what you believe and we world premier a new cover from Joker’s Republic. It’s their version of Tellin’ Lies originally from The Menzingers. All this and of course Ska New and our Ska Picks of the Week.
