After a few freeform epsiodes, the Kings conspire this week to discuss the 'Libero De Vivere / Libero De Morire' Album by Wretched. Perhaps overlooked in the modern streaming era, these punks from Milan, Italy would be a great start for anyone looking to get into something a little deeper than what you might find on an 80s HC playlist.

Somewhat laid-back episode for your Dank Black Friday Holiday. Tyler reviews a Dying Fetus gig and a Hotline TNT/Full Body 2 gig (separate gigs, Dying Fetus didn't play with those bands), plus discussion of Snoop Dogg allegedly quitting weed (UPDATE: episode recorded a week ago, since then he announced that it was a stunt so he could hawk convection ovens or something) and a Grammy-nominated song about India's grain exports. Enjoy!

Music by Dying Fetus and Full Body 2

Following the recent three-year-anniversary of this podcast, the KOPPOD troika chat shit about "content creators" before turning their attention to all the emails (sent via KingsOfPunk.com) they failed to read sooner.

GARY "U.S." BOMBS and TYLER HAMMER return from the HALLUCINATION REALIZED tour with FED ASH and share a tour rundown with JAKE RAZOR and all of you. After that, the trio review some recent music happenings. Featuring Magic: The Gathering, crowd-killing, John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

The veil grows thin, and the KOPPOD troika grew anxious to peel it back and examine a singular Los Angeles musical outfit. The absence of an episode last week no doubt caused some distress among our listeners, but hopefully no one wished for death without a new episode. This one makes up for it and then some; a real-deal deep dive into Christian Death, including an examination of other projects including Rozz Williams (RIP). Give it a listen and enjoy the holiday.

After winding down the Oi! festivities of the past few weeks, the KOPPOD troika wind through a discussion of recent atrocities committed by stupid audience members at DEATH GRIPS concerts (and other live performances). After that, they travel a winding path lined with scary trees, passing several other topics and finding themselves at the cemetery's gates. Once there, they give a KOPPOD rundown of the 1985 punk movie classic 'Return of the Living Dead'. 

KOPPOD's Jake Razor conducts an interview with none other than GARRY BUSHELL. If you listened to Part One, you learned a bit about Garry; he managed the COCKNEY REJECTS, he curated the iconic 'Strength Thru Oi!' compilation (and the other great compilations in that series), he sang for the GONADS, and as a SOUNDS journalist he penned a mountain of words championing punk rock's misunderstood underdogs and UK subculture's quixotic tribespeople. This work and more continues to this day as Garry remains an active writer. For his part, Jake picks the man's brain about the austerity of 70s Britain, UK youth subculture tribes, reggae, punks vs. skinheads, and... British Trotskyite sects, briefly. Maybe we can get his take on Enver Hoxha next time. For now, check out this episode to hear a true powerhouse share insight on the aforementioned topics and much more.

The KOPPOD lads lead you on an overdue journey to late-70s England.

Part 1 of a 3-part series, this episode tackles the second-wave punk groups which served as the blueprint for Oi! bands to follow. Give it a listen and find out where all the bootboys came from. Check out the next two installments and find out where they gone.
