THE KINGS chat about the recent FED ASH gig here in Rochester and offer some constructive critique to young artists who aren't FED ASH and who play folk punk. They then review a recent release by IXIAS and an upcoming 4-way split LP featuring FED ASH, GOD'S AMERICA, BEGGIN' FOR OXYS, and REEKING CROSS. If you'd like the royal verdict on your release or any new release, feel free to drop the lads a line on any of the platforms listed below. There's also links to the music reviewed here so check that out and see if the KOPPOD position stands anywhere near yours.

The KINGS look back on both their own creative pursuits during 2021, and some music from 2021 that struck their fancy. An episode of serenity and brevity to cap off this past year. How'd the KINGS do this year? Contact them on any of the platforms below, and let 'em know what you'd like to hear in 2022. 

Below we have also linked a playlist containing some of the KOP hosts' favorite 2021 tracks. Please note that, unfortunately, TOWER 7 (Jake's favorite release from 2021) is not on Spotify. A few other releases are mentioned which are not streaming either but if you value these guys' opinions, give the episode a listen and go check those releases out. And let the lads know what you think of the included playlist; what should've been on there but wasn't, and what would you have left out?

Happy holidays from the Kings of Punk boys!

As the end of the year approaches, the KINGS contemplate mortality. First, they memorialize Thomas "Mensi" Mensforth of the ANGELIC UPSTARTS. Mensi passed away this week due to complications from COVID-19. This memorial appears alongside a quick ANGELIC UPSTARTS primer. In the second half, they discuss the topic of "legacy acts" and their role in the punk scene. They frame this discussion with some coverage of a recent controversy involving ANTIDOTE, a band with one 7" EP and two different currently-active lineups. 

Give it a listen, and share your hot takes with THE KINGS on Instagram, Twitter, or through their official wbesite!

We decided to repent for our sins and take a look at the world through other eyes. Yes, the eyes of Jesus Christ.

Michael joins Jake and Tyler to talk about the current Richmond scene, the many facets of American and foreign hardcore, and horror movies. It was a treat to have him on.
