about us

Founded on July 10, 2020 amidst a global pandemic by Co-Owners Lou and lexi, Punkaganda Press set out with a goal to amplify the voices of many marginalized creatives. We wanted to give a platform to those who are constantly breaking barriers in the world of music. The team we have created is already diverse; however, we want to continue giving a platform to women, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folks. ​

Punkaganda Press also specializes in giving a voice to underrated musicians, showcasing acts ranging from pop punk, post-hardcore, indie and everything in between. Our goal is to be able to give musicians a platform to grow their audience, and well, who doesn’t like listening to fucking sick music? As we strive to constantly create new and exciting content for our readers, we also want to create a safe space for all individuals.

As we continue to grow, we hope you stick around for the long run. Punkaganda has been an ongoing idea in our heads for quite some time. The story just happens to be a mix of procrastination and pure laziness, until we finally said ‘fuck it!’ We wanted to create a publication regardless of the distance between us as we are based in both California and Maryland. Lou sent a text to Lexi saying “what about something like pro-punk-propaganda?” We shortened it and thus, PUNKAGANDA WAS BORN!

We would like to think that Punkaganda is a spin on the word propaganda, but instead of brainwashing people during war times, we uphold punk ideologies and say a big ‘fuck you!’ to the racist, homophobic and outright wrong propaganda we’ve seen throughout U.S history. Unfortunately, many people think we spelt the punk agenda wrong...haha...very funny.
