On this episode of the You Make The Scene podcast, I had an awesome conversation with Steve and Brian of American Television. We covered a wide range of topics—from the evolution of their sound to the deeper purpose behind their lyrics. The guys opened up about the resurgence of political messaging in punk, why it still matters, and how they’re using their voice to say something meaningful without preaching.
We also dug into the importance of building a music community that’s safe, welcoming, and inclusive—something the band clearly cares deeply about. Plus, we talked about their upcoming EP You Are Not Alone, dropping September 19th via Smartpunk Records, and what fans can expect from this next chapter.
It’s a real, honest, and thoughtful chat with a band that’s doing punk their own way.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
