C is for Chuck! This week we dive into Sum 41's 2004 album that took the band far beyond their pop-punk roots. We go track by track through the Metallica and thrash influences, face-melting guitars, alternative rock detours, punk burners, and quieter moments that made Chuck such a diverse record.

Breaking Down the Tony Hawk Pro Skater Soundtrack
This week on P is for Punk, we're dropping into one of the most influential video game soundtracks of all time: the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
From the Dead Kennedys' "Police Truck" and Goldfinger's iconic "Superman" to Suicidal Tendencies, The Suicide Machines, The Vandals, Primus, Unsane, Speedealer, Even Rude, and The Ernies, we're going track by track through the soundtrack that introduced an entire generation to punk, ska, hardcore, and everything in between.
We'll dig into the history behind the songs, what makes them work musically, and how a skateboarding game released in 1999 became one of the greatest punk-rock gateway drugs ever created.
