If you listen to punk or hardcore, there is a good chance you’ve come across one name in the production credits: Jon Markson. Though his work dates from over a decade ago, his imprints can be felt with Drug Church’s breakthrough record, Cheer. Since then, Markson’s profile has only grown, working with bands ranging from Stay Inside to grunge revivalists Soul Blind. Hugo interviewed Jon to speak more about his work and changes within punk music.

The first taste of Broken Vow's debut LP, a beach-ready tune from Subsonic Eye, and a catchy new single from awakebutstillinbed were some of our favorites this week. Check out everything we deem 'must-hear'

salamander's new track, "xylem", is a haunting and hypnotic trip that allows the band members to create enough space for the big sounds they create without feeling too vast to be comfortable. Fans of Yo La Tengo, Spirit of the Beehive, and Swirlies should make sure to give it a listen.
