Don't worry, this show ISN'T about the greatest pizza in the known universe, but it is about Chicago punk. Pete also interviews, um, himself, about the ups and downs of the Blackhawks season. There's also atheism, punk rock twitter beefs, & the further commercialization of hockey. You're gonna have to eat this one with a fork and knife.

Don't forget to put your "essential' punk records(post-1990) in the comments.
(So this one had some problems in editing, but its here now for your enjoyment, I tried to cut things that were time-sensitive since this was recorded well over a month ago, but there is trade deadline talk.)
This week we're joined by St. Louis native & Blues fan Dan Johanning, guitarist for The Disappeared & The Jungle Fire. We somehow fall into a discussion about CM Punk, debate the merits of old bands you loved reuniting years later and some dumb thing Jeremy Roenick said(yeah, we're just as shocked as you).
Well, we had to do a Detroit show eventually. Luckily, Wings fan Joe Novak from Keys to the Bus joins us to discuss the Seattle arena pipedream, the trade deadline, and how the Blue Jackets have managed to fall further down the shame spiral. It really is quite the feat. We also discuss the state of the Red Wings and why Joe has a self-imposed ban on himself at Joe Louis Arena. We also play a bunch a great Detroit punk and ska.
This is Joe's record label, Whoa! Records, with releases by P.T. Revenge, The Halifax Notion, & others.

Apologies for the delay with this one. In this episode, Brandon is slowly turning his back on his politics, or turning toward deliciousness. Pete's barely hanging on as we discuss Chik-fil-A(this is what we're referring to), psychobilly, and fixie bikes, eventually getting around to talking about hockey, specifically The Winter Classic.
This week we're joined by a very special guest who made the jump from punk rock to hockey, while still recording and performing. Russ Rankin, frontman for Good Riddance, Only Crime and current solo artist joins us to describe his journey to become a hockey scout in California for the Western Hockey Leagues' Kootenay Ice.
