30: Chime Oblivion + Makin’ Out

Punk This Week

04/22/25 • 65 min

Following an intense session of whittling down which records from this stacked release week would get discussed, Evan and Nina plugged in microphones to ponder the essentials: cartoon killer tomatoes, movie concessions, soft pretzel sticks, and a toddler’s first favorite movie.

After interviewing John Dwyer and David Barbarossa for Stereogum, Nina brought the excellent debut album from Chime Oblivion. Evan brought the fantastic debut album from the Minneapolis band Makin’ Out. They also talked about the new records from Heelplant, Cold Meat, Slags, and Coffee Stain.

Make sure to check out the new Iron Lung record and read David Anthony’s comprehensive interview with them for see/saw.
