Podcast: Episode 249

Episode 249 of the Punknews Podcast is packed with both stories and participants. John Gentile in Philadelphia is joined this week by Adam Eisenberg in Florida, Ricky Frankel out in L.A. and Greg Simpson somewhere in a midwestern cornfield. We of course kick this week off with some feedback mail from last week's big Ben Weasel fuss, and the show is capped with an interview with organizer of Amnesia Rock Fest in Montebello, Quebec. In between we bat around stories about the Fest, BMG buying Rise Records, Joy Division, Public Image Ltd, Green Day, Bad Brains, PEARS and more.

This episode features music from Tau Cross, Ceremony and The Scandals.
