P is for Punk: B is for Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs
Dudes with Brews on a Porch
On this episode of P Is for Punk, we dive headfirst into the return of one of Chicago’s darkest and most influential punk bands: Alkaline Trio. After a six-year gap, the Trio dropped Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs, an album that’s equal parts urgent, melodic, and unapologetically bleak in the best way. We break down the band’s history, the era that led to this record, and why this album marks both the end of one chapter and the rebirth of another. Spin Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs wherever you get music. I'll figure out the format eventually..

Dudes with Brews on a Porch
It’s a rapid-fire round of weird on Strange Brew. Drinks: 1792 Cognac and crack open a few Spotted Cows. From the haunted stacks of Hull Public Library to the mournful Gray Lady of Liberty Hall, the guys swap ghost stories that blur history and haunting. Then the conversation shoots into orbit with talk of 3I/ATLAS: the interstellar object some Harvard minds think could be an alien probe. And just when you think the night’s winding down, Wisconsin’s own Beast of Bray Road lopes out of the dark to remind everyone that the Midwest has its monsters too.
