This entire year except for those two weeks off, punk this week hosts Nina Corcoran and Evan Minsker have podcasted about six new punk records each week. Some of those weeks, we walked away with that sinking feeling: Shit, we missed one . Sometimes the best emo record of the year slips by because there were too many good options that week. Maybe it took months for a demo to find its way to YouTube from basement show cassette treasure. Therefore, we have called to order a punk this week special titled “overlooked punk favorites of 2025 so far.” It’s the same format—we each pick three—but this time focused on six year-end contender records we didn’t cover so far this year. This one’s for the paid subscribers . By subscribing to see/saw, you’ve been kind enough to support this podcast that’s honestly just an excuse for us to hang out during snack time and listen to loud music. Throw us a coin or barter your way across the paywall. Paid subscribers also get the weekly column Punk This Week and the see/saw radio archive . More importantly, they get the gratitude of two punk journalists from the Midwest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
