The KINGS kick off the start of April with a deep dive into the raw, uncompromising legacy of one of hardcore punk’s most intense and influential bands: FUGAZI. Known for their blisteringly fast sound, politically charged lyrics, and confrontational presence, FUGAZI reshaped the boundaries of aggression in hardcore—laying the groundwork for what would become known as powerviolence. This episode portends a big KOPPOD month as it traces the band’s early years in Washington, D.C., their landmark recordings, and their lasting impact on generations of extreme music. From their iconic Repeater LP to their legendary $5 shows, FUGAZI’s presence looms large—and we’re breaking it all down here, on April 1st, 2025 . Whether you’re a longtime fan or just hearing about them for the first time right now, as March has come to a close, this episode is required listening for anyone interested in how hardcore evolved at the margins—and how FUGAZI helped redefine its fury.…

A long time ago, the KINGS did an episode focusing on the year 1979 from a subculture point-of-view; important albums, trends in underground music, plus some signature KOPPOD japes and musings. In THIS episode, the KOPPOD TROIKA does the same thing but for 1984! Well, more or less the same thing. Featuring some historical context, some editorials from Maximum Rock 'n' Roll, some personal favorites, and the introduction of BLOGSPOT HC as a good genre. KOPPOD analyzes the evolution and fragmentation of punk and hardcore in the Year 1984, and speculate about parallels one might find today. IG: @koppodofficial KingsofPunk.com…

NOTE: We did this one a while ago so we didn't shout out our top-tier Patrons so I am doing it here: extra big thanks to G. and NoiseOfVarrich, very big thanks to everyone else who signed up over there too In this episode, we take a detour from punk and hardcore while continuing to steer clear of all conventions: welcome to Outsider Music . Guided by our own tastes (and Irwin Chusid’s insights), we dive into this magical world, featuring gems from The Shaggs, Daniel Johnston, BJ Snowden, and Y. Bhekhirst (and a little taste of Wesley Willis and Joe Meek, bookending the episode). Before we get to the wonder of this music, we indulge in some prime nonsense: debating Hardcore vs. Metal scene dynamics, why people can’t handle honest reviews, and—because it’s tradition and it's right up the street (BOOP street, where I live)—our thoughts on this season’s McRib. But eventually we get to Outsider Music. And eventually you get to the end of the episode. And at that point you will have completed a crash course in why Outsider Music warrants your attention— like another sort of crash, one involving cars. Even if this stuff proves a departure from your usual listening, we bet you can't look away. And if you've never heard "Hot In the Airport" before, listen to this episode and hear it today. Then hear it in your head, on a periodic basis, forever. This is a free episode, but there's more where this came from over on our Patreon.

A band known for their raw energy and impactful lyrics, this edition promises to explore the impact and legacy of a group that helped shape the hardcore music genre and subculture. The Kings of Punk trace the band's journey from Danbury, CT to a central role in New York's punk underground alongside greats like Agnostic Front, with the group developing their sound and making a greater and greater impact on the American hardcore scene as they developed the straight edge ethos pioneered by hardcore musicians like Ian Mackaye and Kevin Seconds. The band's relationship with Krishna Consciousness and role in the early development of "Krishnacore" also receives some attention.
