byAce Hartmann
Jen Razavi—better known to punk audiences as Jen Pop—has stood at the front of stages with The Bombpops, delivering sharp hooks and restless energy from the heart of Southern California’s punk underground. But now, with the unveiling of her forthcoming acoustic collection Borrowed & Blue, the songwriter is stepping into quieter territory—one built not on distortion pedals and speed, but on intimacy, memory, and reflection.

Recorded in her bedroom without a click track, the collection captures the immediacy and imperfections of songs…
