Discover January and February 2022 punk and DIY world news
First #Meganews of the new year and episode 10, a little goal for our information column about punk and DIY news of the last two months. Discover January and February 2022 punk news!
We write this kind of article looking around and writing down what’s new; via your private messages and e-mails; via the post we write one week before publishing our meganews where we ask you about new releases. So follow us and let us know about your band’s new release or news from your collective, distro, ‘zine, project, etc!
DISCLAIMER:
Punk is an attitude for us, if it was only music we would’t have opened, so not merely musically punk topics are welcome – this is why you can also add Antifa, against repression demonstrations, etc. – if they share the attitude. Militant hip hop, ska, blues, and songwriting are welcome provided that they share with punk spaces and values that are its basis.
IMPORTANT! Listening and discovering new stuff is cool, but if you can buy the physical copy to support bands and labels and if you have the opportunity to donate, every little help is actually a big help.
We say when a release is available in our distro. For orders or info contact us at info@radiopunk.it
Swipe the article attentively because the order is random and you’ll find various players and more info for each name involved. LET’S START!
