| 0:00.0 | All right, you know what time it is. It is time for that convulse records update on their new releases. |
| 0:07.2 | Just about the best label going around right now. So let's get into it. We got a new EP from punitive damage. It is called hate training. |
| 0:14.5 | Picking up with the 2022 LP, this is the blackout left off. This EP delivers enormous direct hardcore across six tracks. |
| 0:22.6 | Lyrically, hate training addresses historic cycles of oppression and their echoes today. Sonically, |
| 0:28.3 | it gives you everything you want from hardcore without any bloat or excess. It is fast, aggressive, |
| 0:34.6 | and loud. Up next we got the debut LP from Public Opinion. It is called Painted on Smile, |
| 0:41.0 | one part ultra catchy punk, one part exorcism. It's an album that reckons with self-loathing |
| 0:46.7 | and self-doubted so thoroughly that by the end of it, maybe things don't seem as cursed after all. |
| 0:52.2 | Painted on Smile somehow draws together the melodicism of early Otts Rock, the intensity of |
| 0:57.0 | hardcore, and the spiky swagger of primordial punk into a surprisingly cohesive blend. |

| 1:14.4 | when you visit convulse records.bantamp.com. First ever podcast. |
| 1:32.3 | First ever podcast. |
| 1:58.7 | Happy holidays and welcome to the first ever podcast. |
| 2:20.5 | I am your host, Jeremy Bollm, and this is a show where I interview artists of all kinds about the first experiences and their art form that led them to where they are today. But guess what? That is not what we're doing. It is December 25th, Wednesday. And I, all my peers are like taking the week off, you know, doing the responsible thing, you know, not putting pressure on themselves to put out an episode. |
| 2:23.4 | But I don't operate that way. |
| 2:25.5 | My brain is broken. |
| 2:26.7 | So I said, I should do a holiday special. |
| 2:30.1 | So I brought on a bunch of friends, made a bunch of first ever holiday leaning questions, |
| 2:37.9 | and this was a lot of fun to put together. |
| 2:40.9 | I have my wonderful editor, Ryan Rainbow with me right now, who's actually on vacation. |
| 2:46.1 | He's in a cabin. |
