Episode 114: Mike Assatly of Unseemlier on capitalism anxiety

Host Jason Schreurs and Unseemlier's Mike Assatly discuss how living in a capitalist society feeds anxiety and fear. As a punk, Mike tried to avoid "real life" for as long as he could. This has left him in a challenging place between the freedom of punk and having to fall in line in exchange for the possibility of financial stability. http://unseemlier.bandcamp.com Featured song clips: Unseemlier - “My Own Summer ( Pop Shuv It )” from I Have A Screw Loose, Somewhere (Sell The Heart Records, 2025) BearTrap - "Mouthguard" from Nailed Shut (To Live a Lie Records, 2012) Unseemlier - “Power Chord Career Criminal” from I Have a Screw Loose, Somewhere (Sell the Heart Records, 2025) Photo: Alex Ilyadis The SCREAM THERAPY BOOK is now available!
