Hustle Punk: Weekend Playlist by James Seretis

RVA Staff | September 11, 2020

Topics: James Seretis, La Cocina Studios, punk rock, RVA Mag Weekend Playlist, rva magazine weekend playlist, The Flavor Project, The Hustle Season, Weekend Playlist

Every Friday night, RVA Mag brings you a truly fantabulous playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

This week, we have a playlist from James Seretis, who is probably best known to readers of this magazine as one of the cohosts of The Hustle Season, a weekly podcast you can catch here at RVA Magazine every weekend, as well as on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Seretis and his Hustle Season co-host Gabriel Santamaria also run La Cocina Studios, and play together in The Flavor Project, where Seretis’s guitar plays off Santamaria’s bass and the excellent work of the many other band members to create a pleasing mix of funk, rap, soul, jazz, Latin sounds, and much more.

This week, though, James is getting back to his roots with a mix of punk rock classics that will give novices an excellent tour through the fundamentals of the genre, while reminding the more seasoned punks among us exactly what was so great about all those records we loved as teenagers that got us into this genre. A few picks are a bit… edgy (that Fear song, James?) but if you love punk rock, the Hustle Season, or both, that won’t be too surprising. Just don’t play this mix around your parents, and you’ll be fine. On this rainy weekend, sit back and let James Seretis add some punk rock spice to your weekend with this killer mix.

Turn it up, Virginia.

There’s a note and a pattern to how music starts from one’s imagination and comes to fruition. A set of demos could be released into the universe with a particular ease that people couldn’t begin to imagine at the turn of the twenty-first century. With that in mind, it brings new questions to mind. How do we want the world to hear our band? What does it mean to be a band in 2016? What is the most logical way of answering these questions? For several musicians in Richmond, they have come close to an answer by venturing out to the Mechanicsville recording studio, The Virginia Moonwalker.
