Obligatory Halloween Episode!

Happy almost Halloween, fiends, and I  trust you're off to a ghastly start to your mid-week. I need you in a truly sinister mood for what I am about to bestow upon your unworthy ears. 

That's right! It's late October! And as fucking predictable as a fake blonde strutting out of a Starbucks in yoga pants sporting a pumpkin spice latte, you can bet your butt dollar that I am pulling out all the Halloween punk rock stops for today's episode.

Featuring spooky ass tunes from bands like Misfits, Direct Hit!, Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Dwarves, Screeching Weasel and more, this is truly the Ernest Scared Stupid of Halloween punk (and punkish!) rock playlists. So, what are you, a CHICKEN? Go listen, NOW:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN kiddos, and welcome to the latest episode of Wednesdays With Andrew, your weekly overdose of punk (and punkish!) rock. I know you're all busy working out your 'slutty whatever' costumes, going from store to store looking for candy cos you waited til last minute DAMMIT GREG, and dancing to generic halloween music (literally Monster Mash over and over again), and so I appreciate you squeezing in 40 minutes and change to get full on punk (and punkish) rock. 

This week I try a beer from Caboose Brewing Company, talk about the church of Nick Cave, let you in on whether or not I grew out of my ska phase (hint - I didn't), and OH YEAH, play some incredible tunes from bands like The Bouncing Souls, 98 Mute, Lagwagon, Mission of Burma, Shame and Slapstick. 

So......LISTEN NOW:

A special THANK YOU to the team @ Caboose Brewing Company for providing today's refreshments as I recorded  WWA. The Fog IPA was so good, and the other ones I've tried on tap have been tasty, too. 

Check out Caboose's website, and follow along on Facebook and Twitter. Better yet, you can visit their brewpubs in Vienna or Fairfax to get a sampler of the myriad brews on tap...maybe tonight! They're doing a special Halloween happy hour in their Fairfax location, ft. $1 off pints all night.

Some people give me stickers, they gave me a magnet!

Here's the link to Shame's debut full length, Songs of Praise. Guys, I know I say this a lot, but it's REAL good.

If you’re curious as to what a 33 (let's be real), 34 year old punkish dude looks like stage diving, well, click here.


That's it, catch ya next week gals and ghouls.

Spooky. Scary.

Happy Halloween, my pranksters and gangsters, and welcome to Wednesdays With Andrew. If you haven't already OD'd on candy, I can help you out with some sweet and salty punk tunes for your ear holes.

What did you all dress up as this year? I went as Evil Morty...I was kinda surprised at how few people got it. I even paper mache'd my own portal gun and everything, it was dope.

This week's podcast features tunes from the likes of Rise Against, Demob Happy, Cherry Glazerr, Chronic Sick, Guttermouth, boysetsfire and more.
