Hey it’s Punk This Week, see/saw’s weekly recommendations column, and sweet Jesus is this a massive week for new punk records. Do I say that a lot? Sure, but I wrote about 21 records this week and briefly mentioned several others worth investigating. There’s two standout albums out now on Feel It Records, the long-awaited return of Total Punk’s Mind Meld imprint, two very sick projects out of Los Angeles, a star turn from Sharp Pins, some massive hardcore records, and so much more.

It was October 13, the first day to really feel like fall out here, when Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band rolled up. They stopped on their way to a show in Eau Claire after playing Minneapolis the night before. The sets were supporting spots for MJ Lenderman, and it goes without saying, every night of that tour was an in-demand ticket.
