Spike Slawson, enigmatic frontman of Spike & The Gimme Gimmes has hauled himself into MLPP Towers this week ahead of their UK tour next month.

The lad likes a chat, so we cover a lot: The name change, getting booed at bar mitzvahs, Christmas songs,  getting booed at baseball games, Spike's last live music experience as a punter, some scary UK cities,  and getting booed at a Quinceañera. 

Tom's joined by guest co-host Danny Barrett, we get a global exclusive sneaky peeky at a track from the upcoming Shackleford album (coming on Brassneck Records in 2026), and we have an exciting new culture correspondent to introduce you to!

Music is from: TSOL, Shackleford (WORLD EXCLUSIVE), Pete Bentham and The Dinner Ladies, Ordinary Boys and SkinHead.

Another "Tom on One" chat this week with Sunderland's top singing bassist, Mick O'Brien off Tearjerker.

We take a deep dive into Mick's musical past with his favourite songs from the years he turned 16, 18, 21 and 30.

As well as music, we explore his ventures into further education, being on the same label as your heroes, his plans for Christmas, bouncy castles used by grown men a hairstyle horror story.

Music this week is from: Pkew Pkew Pkew, TV Casualties, Ordinary Boys, Biffy Clyro, Goldie Lookin' Chain, Leatherface and China Drum.

The "Tom On One" odyssey continues this week, with firm fan favourite and all round good lad, Danny Barrett off The Crash Mats. BAz is treating us to tales about songs that came out in the years he turned 18, 21, 30 and 40. Seriously good variety this time, so you don't want to miss it!

We cover the Olympics, films we can quote, former colleagues with unfortunate names and theres a very near faux pas right at the beginning. There's also Crash Mats news and gig planning LIVE on the air.

Songs this time are from: Misfits, We Three Kings, Dwarves, Frenzal Rhomb, FIDLAR and The Northern Boys.

A slightly refined format this time following some turbulent times in MLPP towers. However we hope that this in-depth, one on one (or TOM on one, geddit?) chat with Dave Shackleford will be a pleasant experience for you.

Dave talks about songs that have meant a lot to him from the years he turned 18, 21, 30 and 40. Theres a good variety in there, so something for everyone.

We get some news on the next Shackleford album, how Dave got his hands on a load of prophylactics for nowt and Tom unlocks some cringey memories for our guest.

Songs are from: The Vindictives, Kunt & The Gang, Dillinger Four, Against Me!, The Menzingers and The Linda Lindas. 

Easily the most famous Horace is the pop group Horace Pinker, who have settled in for a Monday night chat at MLPP Towers this week.

The veteran punkers who are from everywhere share their stories about getting into punk, what their parents thought about it, being so wild that some famous white guys (who are pretty fly) wouldn't stay at their house, having some legends play a show in your bedroom and a whole lot more. The "do they like a laugh?”-o-meter was off the scale with these guys, so settle down and enjoy a full HP retrospective.

Tom has been doing manly things, Niallism's got a gig report and as always there's tip top tunes for you. 

Those tunes are from: Cocksparrer, The Asthma Kids, Kunt & The Gang, Drug Church and Quit It!

Codes are there to be broken, so we invited Merseyside’s Code Break in to MLPP Towers.

These lads come with a highly recommended live show, so keep an eye out. We discuss mischief, bread rolls, white power gigs, Halloween, bizarre Liverpool landmarks, and also a bit about their band as well.

Tom’s had a bit of luck with the birds, Niallism’s had no luck at all with shaving and is going to be in trouble when his Mrs sniffs her box room.

additional songs are by Toy Dolls, Rooted, Operation Ivy, Alan Yule and Science Made Us Robots.

If you get a whiff of unemptied bins around MLPP Towers this week, its because Birmingham's very own Face Up have been loitering!

We're joined by 3 of Brum's best hardcore export for a chat which covers all facets of their decade-long career, but mostly centres around slagging off their bass player.

We get an insight into old bands, hometowns, old careers and what can happen when you place a bet on a game of Bedworth Chess (Connect 4). 

Tom's getting plastered, Niallism has been minding his business and Niall becomes a convicted Francophile.

Music this week is from: Screeching Weasel, Hammer & The Saltwater Krocodiles, None Of Your Fucking Business, Guerrilla Poubelle and The Mercenaries.

We hope to knock this one out of the proverbial park this week as we welcome pro-pitcher, pro-vocalist and all round nice chap, Scott Radinsky from off California's very own Pulley.

Scott talks us through the mismatched pass times of sport and punk rock, the mismatched careers of sport and punk rock, as well as Pulley's history and future plans.

Scott also sets the record straight on a number of matters ranging from leaving his previous band to Masked Intruder stealing their passports.

Tom and Niall both bring quality jokes to the table, theres a multitude of gig reports from a multitude of places and we introduce a new unit of measurement: The "do they like a laugh?" scale.

Additional tunes this week are from Lost Planet Airmen, Slapshot, Hot Rockets, Less Than Jake and Amongst Strangers.

Miski off City Mouse has once again popped in to promote an get you all fired up for their upcoming UK tour!

As well as slagging off various towns and cities across this fair isle, we share tracks from the latest CM record "So Far Out" take a deep dive into some of Miski's favourite UK foods, meal deals and more.

Tom has been to a gig and, full disclosure, is absolutely hammered (seriously, I puked up after we recorded this). Niallism then makes an announcement pertaining to his going out activities that will absolutely shock everyone.

Music this week is from: Reduced, Curbside, New Bomb Turks, Adolescents and Xiao.

"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.
