EP211: As old as you feel Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

In Ep211 Tom and Neil talk about the Xmas holiday, New Years celebrations and Neil’s birthday. There’s some record collecting/organization talk, as well as upcoming gigs. I think we must be tired of all the pop punk that’s been on recently because it’s a very Oi!/Street punk focused show. With music by Bonecrusher, East End Badoes,Victory, B Squadron, The Struggle, Top Dog, Queensbury Rules, and the Remote Controls.
