Ep 245: American Television
In this episode of The Popko Project, Popko hangs out with the awesome humans behind American Television — a D.C.-based punk band that’s been pushing out melodic anthems with a message for over a decade. We dive deep into their upcoming EP, You Are Not Alone (dropping September 19), which delivers a rallying cry for unity, mental health awareness, and surviving the chaos of modern life — all wrapped in catchy, high-energy punk.
We talk about:
-The band’s journey through COVID and coming out stronger
-Writing protest anthems in the age of burnout
-Balancing dad life with tour life
-Their experience playing at Warped Tour (yep, seriously!)
-Punk rock’s role in building community and creating inclusive spaces
-Ninja Turtles, nostalgia, and whether vinyl is overrated (spoiler: strong opinions ahead)
If you like your punk with heart, humor, and a healthy dose of real talk — this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen now, and don’t forget: You are not alone.
