This week on Almost Punk we discuss Emo Night L.A.'s panel on racism in the punk scene, attempt to manifest the return of the Nerve Agents, and discuss the rise of streaming music festivals. Additionally, we lament filing paperwork with the DMV during the global pandemic, provide proper etiquette for holding doors open for strangers, and highlight new releases from Bad Cop Bad Cop, Sewer Rats, Death By Stereo, the Muslims, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, the OBGMs, Punkband, and NOBRO.
