| 0:00.0 | All right, you know what time it is. It is time for that convulse records update on their new releases. |
| 0:07.1 | 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. Lyrically, |
| 0:23.3 | hate training addresses historic cycles of oppression and their echoes today. Sonically, it gives you |
| 0:28.8 | everything you want from hardcore without any bloat or excess. It is fast, aggressive, and loud. |
| 0:35.8 | Up next we got the debut LP from Public Opinion. It is called |

| 2:07.8 | This is episode 246. And my guest this week is Dylan Baldi of the band Cloud Nothings. They just announced some support dates where they're going to be opening for Sunny Day |
| 2:19.6 | Real Estate. |
| 2:20.8 | That's a sick show. |

| 2:30.8 | The band has been celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their album here and nowhere else, which on a personal note, is one of my favorite records of the last 10 years. |
