  • Finally; some authenticity…

    If you are sick and tired of “Punk” podcasts that are little more than over-educated millennials awkwardly reading you the Buzzcocks’ Wikipedia entry, this is the antidote.

    Unpretentious, unfiltered commentary from participants, NOT spectators. More of this, please.
