🤔 What is the Pop-Punk Book Club?Well, this isn’t your typical music discussion show. It’s highly subjective and very biased... exactly how it should be. Every week, we revisit (or experience for the first time) a pop punk album in full, on the hunt for our favourite songs of all time. But this isn’t just about us—we want you to join the Book Club, too! Rate the album alongside us using our 7-emoji system (it’s easy), send us your thoughts and tell us what these albums mean to you.Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube!Get the document version of this episode here: http://bit.ly/4mNBwaW.
