  "textContent": "Hey, it’s Punk This Week, and it’s a Bandcamp Friday. That means there’s a lot of new punk and rock'n'roll records to wade through, including the new full-length from Itchy & the Nits, a level-up from Chicago’s Ritual Cross, BUIO OMEGA covering Black Flag, the debut album from Cleveland’s Jaguar 777, and more.\n\nWhile there’s plenty of free stuff to read on see-saw.fun, this column is only available behind the paywall. A paid subscription costs $4/month or $40/year. If you spend $40 today, you’ll get a weekly email for a year with writing about the best punk rock music from all over the place. You’ll also get bonus podcasts and the full see/saw radio archive. Happy reading.\n\n* * *\n\n**W-9:****__Demo__****[self-released]**\n\nA jagged new five-piece punk operation has taken shape down in New Orleans, and their first three-song demo sounds real good. Up front is Emma Ledgerwood, who’s also in T.A.C.K. and Tonya. This record has wiry feedback and no wave switch-ups; they excel at bubbling and gradual bass murk, and when shit hits a fever pitch, it rips. Ledgerwood’s screaming the word “mommy” repeatedly into a telephone receiver while her bandmates smash through a post-punk jog. It’s a strong debut and a phenomenal example of gig economy solidarity. Is anything more punk rock than being beholden to the W9 form? (Answer: Getting paid under the table.)\n\n\n\n* * *\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
