New Year 2026, no easing in. ONE PUNCH is here — short, sharp, and straight to the point. No warm-ups, no context overload, just a single track dropped cold, with one of us knowing exactly what’s coming… and the other completely in the dark 👀

The atmospheric, slow-burn brilliance of “To Space” by Kings Of Leon.
One song. One listen. One punch to the ears.

Hit play, ring in the new year, and let us know if this one landed for you 🎧✨

It’s Christmas week and we’re coming in hot with a brand new (and shorter) segment: ONE PUNCH!

Think quick hits, no filler — just singles that have grabbed us by the collar and refused to let go. Each One Punch episode sees either Mike or Kyle bringing a surprise track to the table… and the other has no idea what’s coming 👀

Up first? The seriously smooth and unexpectedly brilliant “Automatic Yes” by Zedd featuring John Mayer. One song. One listen. One punch to the ears.

Hit play, get festive, and let us know if this one landed for you 🎧✨

'Tis the season for episode 6!

This week by cranking up the pop-punk cheer and diving headfirst into the joyful chaos of Relient K.

We’re talking Let It Snow, Baby… Let It Reindeer — the band’s Christmas record that somehow balances heartfelt sincerity, tongue-in-cheek humor, and full-on seasonal nostalgia. It’s fast, it’s melodic, it’s occasionally emotional, and it’s basically the sound of driving around looking at Christmas lights with the windows cracked despite the cold.

In this episode, we skate through selected tracks, breaking down everything from the band’s original holiday moments to their energetic, reimagined Christmas classics — all packed with Relient K’s signature hooks, earnest lyrics, and festive pop-punk spirit.

If you grew up with this record on repeat every December (or you’re just discovering it now), this one’s for you.
