0:00.0	It's punk rock bowling time. That's right for the 24th year. One of the greatest
0:06.8	festivals on earth in my opinion returns to downtown Las Vegas the weekend of May 25th, 26th and 27th.
0:15.9	I have had some of my greatest times playing this thing,
0:18.8	and just hanging out of this thing.
0:20.3	You want to know how much this festival speaks to turn out of punk's mindset?
0:23.4	The headliners are Devo, Descendants, and Madness.
0:27.6	Every day of this festival, the line up is stacked with amazing bands of all types and stripes of punk and
0:33.7	hardcore from all different eras from ska to post-hardcore. We're talking like
0:38.7	Brat Mobile to Rock from the Crypt to stiff Stiff Little Fingers, to The Cosmic Psychos, to Scout,

1:16.0	are all just taking over downtown Las Vegas.

1:27.2	around on the buffet line you'll probably see me. And you better believe we're going to be talking
1:30.3	about punk music. And because this festival loves this
1:33.2	podcast as much as this podcast loves this festival, punk rock bowling is
1:38.3	bringing you a series of special episodes. So each and every week I will have an episode going up
1:44.0	featuring someone that's playing this festival and hot damn are there some good ones
1:49.7	coming head over to punk rock bowling dot com and hopefully I see you in downtown Las Vegas May 25th 26 and You're going to be. So, Hello and welcome to another edition of Turn Out of Punk I'm, Damian Abraham, and once again I am bringing you a conversation with someone who grew up listening to Punk,
