Mid Life Punk Podcast Tom & Niallism

Watch your wrists, ankles and backs around this week's guests, it's Peterborough's very own Sprainer!
These minstrels wowed your hosts when we saw them in Oldham last month, so we tracked them down for the inside track on their band and the Diesel City (that's peterborough, apparently) punk scene.
The boys share with us their fighting moves which are guaranteed to cause maximum damage (to nipples), we discuss how best to beat off a bear when it's blood is up, a total disaster of a school trip and the top attractions in Peterborough.
As well as that, Niall has a gig review (his last one from the English side of the boarder), we tease you all with a sneaky peek at a track from the upcoming Punk In Drublic 30th anniversary tribute and all the rubbish you've come to expect.
Songs this week are from: The Peawees, Seagulls, Snotty Cheekbones, Heligan, Western Addiction and Panda Lasagne.

Recorded in front of a live audience at Manchester Punk Festival 2024, we pit members of Blagged, Shackleford, Eat Deafeat and The Crash Mats (along with a couple of civilians) against one another as they compete for the pride of their birthplace: It's Nuneaton vs The North!
If you had a good lol listening to this, please consider chucking a couple of quid our way via the Ko-Fi link below. I spent 30 quid on bells for this, ffs.

Episode 156 features the West Midlands' very own Healer Of Bastards as our guests this week. Following on from their record release early this year, the HoB boys are really cutting the mustard at the minute and are so hot right now.
We talk about gun laws, rainwater collecting laws, free speech, freedom generally, plant based German soft drinks, writing lyrics on walks and the effect of an aging body on a singing drummer.
Niall has an announcement to make, Tom's got the Sunday dread and as we're Ken Bruce now apparently, we've got info on a top gig happening in Nottingham this weekend.
Crack open a Club Mate, relax and enjoy the soothing tones of 3 west midlanders (easily the most relaxing accent known to man) and a Scotsman.
Music this week is from: Descendents, Servet, Ill Repute, Slalom D and Spaced.

Hiiiiyyyo. This week we are visited by Olivia Tweedale, tiptop promotress in South East of England to discus the perils, pitfalls and pillocks of gig promotion!
As well as that we cover pay to play, former movie satrs making music and the seemingly unenforceable rules of promoting.

The really decent music this week is from: Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, Mad Cadies, Rancid, Punching Swans, Cool Hot Rockers, Girls Like Us, Smile Wide, Captain Kaiser and Sprainer.
