Welcome to the B-Side Breakdown! A podcast where I, Brett Johnson your host, will chat with friends, heroes, and those who inspire, to learn about a song or piece of music they have written, new or old, released or previously unreleased that is particularly meaningful to them and ideally get deep into the Why? behind it. Not only will learn more about the artists selection, but you will hear the song or piece in its entirety, and youll get a sneak peek into what they are working on now, regardless of artform or medium.I look forward to having artists on the show covering a spectrum of genres, including independent rock, punk, Hip-Hop, post-hardcore, Americana, Country, progressive and beyond. Personally, I think this is going to be a lot of fun and I look forward to you joining us for the ride!

E49 - "ASM KoP" by The Blackburns with Nick Palmer
Episode 49
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026
“ASM KoP” started as a phrase Nick Palmer couldn’t shake—something he said constantly in his day job as a retail recruiter: Assistant Store Manager, King of Prussia. What began as a hook turned into something more layered: a snapshot of aging punk lifers navigating retail jobs, suburban malls, and the space between who they were and who they are now. In this episode, Nick breaks down how the song almost didn’t make the record, how a shift in direction reshaped it, and how the final version was built to feel bigger than it actually is—less about recreating a live sound, and more about capturing what it feels like to stand in front of a loud band.Follow The Blackburns:theblackburns.bandcamp.comfacebook.com/meettheblackburnsinstagram.com/meettheblackburnsFollow Sell the Heart Records:selltheheartrecords.bandcamp.comfacebook.com/selltheheartinstagram.com/selltheheartrecordsselltheheartrecords.comtwitter.com/selltheheartThanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.
