new Punk This Week podcast with Nina and I discussing new Pigeon Pit + Total Sham + Squint + Wiccans + Pill Mill + Strange Passage. also: OOP Blu-ray grails, snickerdoodle Twix, the underrated marriage of noise + blues, and burp rock.

Pigeon Pit's Leash Aggression is only 5 days old! Here's another one of my favorite songs on there - Thread The Needle "i can keep my drinks down so you cowards never guess i can let the dark thoughts run like wild dogs all day up in my head" pigeonpit.bandcamp.com/track/thread...

Stereogum has been such an amazing supporter of Perennial over the years, and they regularly (constantly) use their platform to help up & coming bands reach new audiences. Support @stereogum.com !

What is up with all these amazing releases this weekend? This new one by Pigeon Pit is also very awesome. It's like what if John Denver was trans and a DIY punk... in other words, entirely my jam!

The new surprise Pigeon Pit album is so lovely, like a more punk but country influenced best moments of the Mountain Goats before that was swallowed up into the music industry and stopped being something I recognized. ernestjenning.limitedrun.com/products/870...

here's a magical live video of my favorite track on the surprise new Pigeon Pit LP: The track is called "Rearview Mirror Blues" and it's the best. youtu.be/XI222GhaRGY

SURPRISE! there's a brand new Pigeon Pit album and it's incredible. Available everywhere digitally AND Physically right now!!! We really love this one, and pretty sure you're going to as well! pigeonpit.bandcamp.com/album/leash-...

Anybody thinking about / planning on going to Big Ears and want to talk about it for the next 5 months?

ATHENS! TONIGHT!

Just sat in the car for 17 minutes because In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida came on as I was parking. No regrets.

See you Sunday at The University Club in Gainesville for the debut Fest appearance of The Perennial Sound!

Finally getting around to checking out—and really digging—the new one from @ejrc.bsky.social label-mates (and old pals @fretlesspeter.bsky.social & Rob Smith), Animal, Surrender! If you Google the name without adding "band," you'll also get a lot of local humane society info that may be relevant:

Five days to rest up then it’s on to Athens & Fest!

PSA: 25 minute Diamond Sea is a great way to start your day.

Animal, Surrender! return to duo formation for this mega bill Hart Bar this Saturday.

new sunnO))) and Armand Hammer tracks today had things going off to a good start and then this @daleknwk.bsky.social / Charles Hayward track comes out and basically smashes them together and brings maximum joy to my brain - dalek.bandcamp.com/album/haywar...

MAGNET Exclusive: Full-LP premiere of Aitis Band’s “IV” (@ejrc.bsky.social). “Ever stayed somewhere & thought to yourself, ‘Holy crap, I might get murdered tonight’? Then you look at yourself in the mirror & say out loud, ‘Why are you whispering?’” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2025/10/09/m...

The new Aitis band LP "IV" is out today everywhere!!! head over to @magnetmagazine.bsky.social for a full listen and a track by track breakdown from the band! "an uneasy but weirdly appropriate balance of haunting theatrics and absurd fun" magnetmagazine.com/2025/10/10/m...

Animal, Surrender! :: A Boot For Every Bane aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/10/07/a... Not sure how many eight-string bass / pipe organ / drums trios there are out there, but I’m going to go ahead and declare the Brooklyn-based Animal, Surrender! as the very best of them all.

See you in a couple days UK friends ❤️

The second pressing of ‘Art History’ has arrived, and it’s quite possibly the coolest vinyl variant we’ve done. perennialtheband.bandcamp.com/album/art-hi...

Totally possible that Oneida is still americas greatest rock band.

New Animal Surrender is so damn sick. Must listen. animalsurrender.bandcamp.com/album/a-boot...

Tonight: two phenomenal trios playing within a couple blocks of each other in Ridgewood makes for a rather inspired Wednesday night twofer. First the wonderfully-named Animal, Surrender! with a unique bass-keys-drum sound led by Peter Kerlin. Almost like […] [Original post on shakedown.social]

Read the full interview with Peter Kerlin here: www.harmonic.fm/blog/liner-n...

You don't hear many albums that feature the eight-string bass as a lead instrument, and fewer still that incorporate the mighty hum of the pipe organ. @jefito.com interviewed Peter Kerlin of Animal, Surrender!, discussing their new album (available tomorrow) and creating art honestly.

new Aitis Band video for "Dan" rules: "Dan is a handful of those memories that pop up every year or two. The ones that make you feel weird or wonder if you might have been in love. Our response is like, oh yeah yeah yeah."

I can sit here posting about tomato sandwiches all day or i can get all riled up demanding that SST relinquish the Pell Mell masters but i'm not sure if i have time for both.

@perennialtheband.bsky.social is a sick live band, Perennial makes great records, blah blah blah. Can we stop for a second and focus on how many awesome tomatoes they brought us from their garden?

Proof of how real Bandcamp Friday is for working DIY bands: I was able to cover the cost of my amp rentals for our upcoming UK tour from this past Bandcamp Friday. Seriously, THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR BAND. PERENNIAL LOVES YOU.
