Razorcake Podcast 973 Horns
This is mentioned in the talky bits, but it’s worth putting in the introduction. DJ Mal is the latest addition to the When Horns Are Okay family. She contacted us and made some song suggestions that weren’t the usual, “Have you played X-Ray Spex?/that one Fear song?” query, but some deep cuts.…

Razorcake Podcast 972 Christian Valles
In the 2000s, I relied heavily on my friends to discover and share music, whether we were trading CDs, burned discs, or VHS tapes. We were broke urban teenagers with limited transportation, strict parents, and a lot of boredom. Most of our parents hated the punk, metal, and rock music we listened...

Razorcake Podcast 971 Welly Artcore
Scene Reports: Prehistoric Sounds 1977-1988 Australian punk etc. An incomplete history Using old “Vaultage” articles from Artcore Fanzine as a starting point, this is the second episode of “Scene Reports” featuring the historical punk scenes of a variety of countries. This time we focus on...

Razorcake Podcast 970 Horns
Yeppers, another batch of punk and punk-adjacent songs with horns in them from multiple eras and approaches. One of us three knucklefucks has to like it. Science. Let’s see if this resonates. Instead of listing our blunders, miscues, and unsolved mysteries, Todd improvises the PSA in the style of...

Razorcake Podcast 968 Kurt
I’m continuing the pattern I have for most of my podcasts: some newer songs (knitting, Quicksand, Dud, Converge) and also tunes that are stuck in my head and won’t let go (everything else). I hope you hear something you enjoy! –Kurt

Razorcake Podcast 967 Horns
You know the deal: punk and punk-adjacent songs that have horns, horn-like, or horn-synthesized sounds. It’s quite possible we’re both punch-drunk from getting hit in the head by the slides of trombones. Perhaps it’s that we know, in the distance, we found more rich veins of horn gold, but we’re...

Razorcake Podcast 695 Horns
Yeppers. More punk and punk-adjacent songs with horns. And seriously, fuck the current Dickies. Since we’ve been doing laps on this track for a bit, we tend to go off on tangents when talking. Here’s the research to unanswered questions Ethan and Todd had after recording their talky bits. For all...

Razorcake Podcast 694 Chris
This summer is more sentimental than previous ones. When I started playing in garage bands in 2006, I started going to backyard shows with generic emo-core bands that were more focused on getting signed to a record label than building a real connection and maintaining a DIY community in Southern...

Razorcake Podcast 962 Horns
Todd: “Our previous bookkeeper is now a dick doctor.” Ethan: “He’s seen a lot of peen.” Of course, this is all in the context of punk and punk-adjacent songs with horns in them. Todd then uses a rhetorical device with Ethan, like pretending to not know that MDC stands for many different things…

Razorcake Podcast 963 Welly Artcore
We used to call it “the scene.” Some people say it’s like people who fought the same war, but I find the word “war” far from appropriate. War is death and devastation, and people sent to die for some other people’s interests. What we did was full of life and joy, running away from a tamed death...

Razorcake Podcast 961 Thirsty Thurs
Thirsty Thursdays Presented by The Dollar Boys is a highly unorganized group of individuals who get together to play the best and worst of old and new, punk, hardcore, and god knows what else.

Razorcake Podcast 959 Christian Valles
Over two decades into the 21st century, the independent spirit of music continues to thrive. This episode features a mix of what’s on my current rotation and the essential hardcore punk tracks that shaped my adolescent years. Enjoy. -Christian

Razorcake Podcast 958 Kurt
There’s been some killer music released in the past few months including some big surprises from Fugazi and Neurosis. I also have some gems that might have flown under your radar like Miltown and the Belonging/Inny split. There are some other tunes herein that have been popping in my head lately...

Razorcake Podcast 956 Juan Todd
Looking through my Discogs account recently (where I catalog all my records) I’ve come to notice that a majority of the records I bought in 2025 were re-issues. In many cases multiple albums by the same band (Inepsy, Soilent Green, Descendents, and Lip Cream who I play on this one.) Most of these...

Phone it in. Shit talk. You’re welcome. Where’s our award? Welcome to WHAO 50. We made no special preparations for this podcast. No extra frosting, just the usual cake-like ingredients. And by that, we mean punk and punk-adjacent songs with horns in ’em that at least one of us likes. Some notes…

Razorcake Podcast 953 Mazems
Back by unpopular demand, it’s Midnight At Mazems with Bill and Booth! We heard your feedback so we took some time off to refine our message and retool the pod. We spent eighteen months chewing over the notes like an overcooked wad of Salisbury steak. We analyzed the data, tweaked the algorithms,...

Razorcake Podcast 952 Christian Valles
In this episode, we’ll listen to tracks from my music library, starting with bands whose names begin with the letter A and ending with bands that begin with the letter J. Songs that emphasize partying, long-distance relationships, looking for meaning, and maintaining relationships throughout...

Razorcake Podcast 949 Jimmy 02 06 26
was going through a book of old flyers and figured I’d make a podcast of bands that often appear on old flyers that many might not have heard/heard of these days. This, of course, morphed into a collection of early, (largely now) obscure bands/recordings from the greater Los Angeles/OC area. A…

the entire enterprise, Tim. We all get one strike. You’re on notice, bud. Now, enjoy. And, as Ethan put it, “You’re getting way more quality than you deserve at this point.” On a serious note, this podcast is dedicated to the memory of “Naked Rob” Gongora.Let’s dispense with the niceties and get...

Razorcake Podcast 947 Jimmy 01 23 26
It’s been a minute or two since I’ve done a podcast, so let this is a bit of a catch-up—a potpourri of tuneage old and new that I think is nifty, from assorted records I’ve procured over the last few spins around the sun. Shit’s been kinda hairy this past…well, hell, this past decade, with a…

Razorcake Podcast 946 Kurt Morris
I recently went on my third silent meditation retreat. One of the interesting things that occurs to me on these experiences is how much music pops into my head. Oftentimes, there are songs from my childhood I haven’t thought about in decades. Or something like a sunset will bring up a song lyric…

Razorcake Podcast 943 Horns
Yeppers, another installment of punk and punk-adjacent songs with horns that one of us three ding-dongs likes. Since this is the forty-eighth time around the track, we combat fatigue by going on horn-started tangents. When recording the podcast, I swore I wouldn’t look this up, but I couldn’t…

From basement shows to borderlands, this podcast captures the defiant spirit that refuses to die. This collection threads together generations of hardcore and punk, a collision of sounds where chaos meets conviction. Best, Christian

Razorcake Podcast 940 Horns
Come for the horns. Stay for the PSA on how Ethan loves hot tubs and uses his almost every other day! Todd thought he had a pretty good bead on the person who sits across from him doing these podcasts for five years, but Ethan’s a veritable unpeeling onion. Okay, so this batch of songs: Ethan and…
