John Gentile - Feature Editor at Punknews
This week, Andy is joined by John Gentile, a long standing feature editor at Punknews. For those unfamiliar, Punknews is a music news website that has been going strong for over 20 years, centered mainly on artists within the punk rock scene, and has been one of the main sources for up-to-date information about bands across many sub-genres ranging from hardcore to ska to shoegaze to noise. John has been contributing there for much of it's existence and has some great stories to tell about his time. We dive into the history of the website and go into some of the bigger stories that they've "broke" over the years. We also chat about why we are still dealing with the punk police after all of these years, and how the newer generation of punks aren't necessarily following in those footsteps. He gives me a nice breakdown about the Philadelphia music scene, and provides his top ten albums. To see the site, go to https://www.punknews.org.
