In Episode 177, we sat down with new Scranton punk rock band Pucker Up!, soon after their debut at the NEPA Scene Open Mic at The V-Spot. In their first-ever interview, we talked about how their singer Shug went from playing solo with a ukulele to fronting a punk band, how the group formed with Demi Belzer on bass and Tanner Snyder on drums and developed their sound, testing their live show at the open mic before their first official performance at the Burning Roses Music & Arts Festival at Nay Aug Park, their debut single and other songs they’re working on, how the riot grrl movement and other women paved the way and inspired them, upcoming shows, and more.
