  • Love the podcast and the range of interviews

    Great podcast with a range of interviews from the world of punk, not just the obvious music people. Also like the fact its not in a studio and in bars, keeps that DIY feel but doesn’t loose audio quality

  • Best alternative music podcast

    Scratch that best music podcast.

    Excellent range of artists within the various sub cats.

    Witty, informative with a relaxed interview style (to counterpoint the subject genre).

    Perfect for a struggling musician to get through the 9-5, a successful one on the road, a punk newbie on the road to discovery or a road worn first wave punk.
