"All iron roads lead to MLPP Towers", so the saying goes. And this week Splitbox have been shunted into our siding.

This power pop power trio have travelled via York, Leicester and Norwich with no delays to discuss their song craft, life in covers bands, leaving a sensible gap between meeting and setting up a band as well as a heap of other topics that will thrill and inspire you.

Where is Paul's beer from? Is it cloudy? Can you piss and be interviewed at the same time? The answer to all this and more lie inside.

Niall gives us a comprehensive dissection of his 2 days at Oldham's Easy Fest, Tom is very down in the dumps at the start (he perks up, don't worry) and we both enjoy the reasonable set of questions in the big book of bullshit.

Music This week is by: Stubborn Allstars, Al Pacino's Sister, Warm Needles, The Abs and Rats Don't Sink.

😬The Brummie Boys, Back Teeth couldn't wait to return to MLPP Towers so soon after their first visit, so they did! They're in to show off their shiny new bass player, discuss their upcoming single "It's Time For The Forever Box" and to strenuously deny the existence of their upcoming album on Little Rocket Records.

Lewis, their main man dials in from Slovenia, Rich and Tom appear in their pro looking home studios, and Dave is our first ever guest to appear live from a Toby Carvery.

Tom has a gig report AND a film report, Niallism bigs up a sub-par joke and we receive our very first piece of Fan Fiction!

Music this week is courtesy of: Vondanikens, Das Kapitans, None Of Your Fucking Business, Blink 182 and Cold Snap.

The corks are popping in MLPP Towers this week as we're joined by Huddersfield's favourite son, Mikey Shiraz off Mr Shiraz!

Mikey's been about for a while, and he's been around a bit so expect stories about angry skateboarding Sublime replacements, a thrifty approach to merchandising from some Nu-Metal/rap crossover artists and be amazed by the adventures of a now deceased rapper. 

Tom's been out for breakfast with some folks (which has annoyed Niallism for some reason), Niall's Nutty Mutts has an update and we pay tribute to some recently deceased celebs.

Music this week is from: NOFX, The Dickies, Gerber & The Babies, Dear Landlord, Sprainer and The Drop Sets.

The double century is upon us! Danny and Mark are joined by Great Britain's fattest podcasting punk duo, Tom & Niallism!

The Big Book of Bullshit was bursting at the seams for once, so expect all the classics: "why are you still doing this?" "shag, marry, kill" "dream guests" and of course, "when was the last time you shit your pants?".

Danny and Mark tell us about gigs they've organised, Mark's been to a strange place on holiday and Danny Barrett tells us about how he was mugged off by smelly crusties at the weekend.

Music comes from: Nerf Herder, The Dreadnoughts, Dead To Me, The Abs, Off With Their Heads, Goober Patrol, Vamos, Leatherface, The Aquabats and Skimmer.

We're having a laugh in MLPP towers this week as we're joined by record label magnate, pop star and now stand up comedian, Joe Sib!

Joe's in to tell us about being in the place at the right time for the early 80s California scene and the '94 punk explosion. He takes us through his time with his bands Wax and 22 Jacks, their adventures on tour, on film sets and his newest crack of the showbiz whip: his one man show "California Calling" which will be at the Gilded Balloon at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival throughout August.

Tom and Niall are buzzing for episode 200 and discuss the sale of Obese Mick's Fat Wreck Chords to Hopeless Records.

Music this week is from: Chixdiggit, The Ovines, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Adolescents, Anti Nowhere League (for the first and last time on here), Los Olvidados, The Clash, McLusky and Cowboy Hunters.

More colonial cousins for us this week as we pop over the pond for a chat with Buffalo NY's very own On The Cinder ahead of their UK tour!

We give the lads some cultural tips on language, soccer and pubs. In return, they inform us how British culture is blossoming in the world of diplomatic relations, tell us a tale of how they met a footballer's Mum & Dad, give us the lowdown on their town's obsession with wings and declare their non-involvement in the current state of the USA.

Tom's been to the wrestling, Niallism has a cracking day out, Tom gives a PSA and we get an update on Niallism's dog care venture.

Music this week is by: The Queers, Dead Star Boys, Face To Face, Teenage Bottlerocket and Bob Vylan.

C'mon y'wee tubes! Board the MLPP express to Scotland where you'll be greeted by some very affable scotchmen, Polar Bears In Purgatory!

Yes, we're back amongst Niallism's tribe this week to discuss the enduring band PBIP. We get dazzled by their genius, get disappointed when they don't write jingles and also chat a bit about their band.

We ask all the killer questions, such as: Where can you header a turnip? What is a Pizzly Bear? Are there robots in the afterlife?

Tom has had a terrible Sunday in a terrible place, Niall puts his own wellbeing behind your pets' needs, there's a spooky email submission and we keep the wankers at bay with our opening track.

Music is from: The Longest Line, Jesse, Chubby & The Gang, Black Rain and Pansy Division (it's a right ear worm, you're welcome)

Returning guests again this week as we host Mick, Golly (and to a lesser extent, Pikey) from off Sunderland's very own Diaz Brothers!

They've got their difficult second album out there for us all so it's new tunes from that, personal choices from Mick and Golly and a good old time guaranteed.

We discuss pre-gig nerves, funny tours, Golly's glittering acting career and we call out Mick on his non-belief in the world wide web.

Tom's comedy genius comes back to bite him, Niallism's new business gets christened and we give a brief potted history of last week's Juddstock 2025 event in Nunny.

Music this week is from: Clowns, Skeetch, Polar Bears In Purgatory, Amy Winehouse, Buzzcocks, The Jones and Minimal Faff

Not long to go now chums! Part 2 of our "Road to Juddstock" episodes is here!

In this half, Blagged, The Crash Mats, Clayface, Wrong Life, Shackleford and Sunliner are the artistes in focus this time, and as well as quality facts about them and their quality tunes, there's also an indepth look at some of Nunny's most famous sons and daughters, architecture and a sad night many years ago when people tried to escape The Beatles.

Juddstock 2025 is imminent, and we have pledged to get you down there, by hook or by crook.

In the symbolic and literal heart of England, is Nuneaton. That is where Juddstock 2025 is being held. Tom and Niallism have welcomed some of the artistes and organisers into MLPP Towers for a sneaky look at some of the quality bands that will be rocking the Queen's Hall on June the 14th.

Tom, Niall, Dickkie, Dave, Don White from Shackleford as well as Danny Barrett off The Crash Mats are doing the chatting, Gutter Puppy, Breaker, Great Silence, Flinch and Tearjerker are doing the rockin'.
