Send us Fan Mail Berkshire beckons us in this week, as political punkers Tape It Shut pop in for a chinwag. We hear about gigs that were let downs, gigs that were great, least favourite politicians, parasites, capitalism of varying styles and the inspiration behind their tracks. Tom shares how he's been straying from the punk path, Barrett's buddy gets banged up, we get a story from Tom's past and of course there is a very sad Top 5 pertaining to losses we've recently suffered. Music this week is from: Secret Army, Old Foes, T.S.O.L, The Toasters and Hospital Job
Send us Fan Mail We were graciously invited by our chums at Punk Rock Elite Podcast to attend the UK premiere of the new NOFX feature length documentary '40 Years of Fuckin Up'. Which we gratefully accepted. Join Tom and Danny Barrett for a whistlestop tour through Obese Mick's latest cinematic offering, including remarks about: the dangers of roving microphones, seeing Wattie Buchan on the silver screen and a blow by blow account of the 'Sexhibition' we were forced to look at. Music is obviously from NOFX, but scouse buggers Code Break also make a sneaky appearance.
Send us Fan Mail Leicester is our destination, and Last Edition are our inspiration for our second Ska band in 3 weeks! Matty, the top brass, is in telling us about his pop group which features a pregnant person currently, including some of their very salubrious gigs and the not so salubrious. We chat crisps, dead snooker players, Englebert, stupidly spelled place names and soccer. Tom and Danny Barrett discuss celestial events, a Sowerby Bridge gig report, holiday nightmares, our upcoming jolly boys' outing to see the premiere of the NOFX Film and the Prime Minister's trigger happy approach to warnings of certain death. Music this week is courtesy of: Dance Hall Crashers, Guineapigs, Making Friends, NOFX and Swayze.
Send us Fan Mail MLPP Towers offers some respite to 3 weary Punkabillies this week, who are unfortunately located in Stoke on Trent. The Two Step Goodbyes are very forthcoming with their song topics, their drug (purely medicinal) addled car journeys stoking local beefs, and their tip top band nights in Stoke, "Bars Attacks". They also go all in on a brand new game of Tom's invention called "Rockabilly or Notabilly" (yes, he knows its a fantastic concept, no need to write in). We have a gig report from the centre of the universe (Nuneaton), Barrett has been forced to relocate due to nature getting its revenge, and we take an advance look at the Easy Fest '26 line up! Songs this week are from: Travis Cut, A Murder of Crows, Tinseltown Rebellion, Code Break and The Offsailors. Additional voicework provided by Mark L Williamson
Send us Fan Mail For the first time in a very long time, we have a fully fledged ska band on! And that band is West Yorkshire's Nutty Skunk!

We also hear a HMV horror story, discuss the sound engineer reaction to seeing a 7 piece band with a brass section arrive and also put the world to rights a little bit. Tom has a gig report from Devon, Barrett has his top5 and all the usual stuff. Music is from: Sick Of It All, Trivia, Pennywise, Pansy Division and Meryl Streek.
Send us Fan Mail Putting the "oop" in Super-Group this week are our guests, fen dwellers Al Pacino's Sister. This rock band is made up of members of both Sprainer and Das Kapitans, so get yourself excited. We discuss their extensive tours, their back catalogue which is so robust they've had to put out a compilation and we get the inside track on how a super group copes with multiple egos and creative stylings.

Music on this occasion is from: Macc Lads, Sha Rivari & the Maybes, The Apers, Character Actors and Snuff.
