Lock up your stottie cakes, 'cause this week we're joined by Newcastle's very own Fast Blood. Well, we're joined by 50% of the band (and 50% of its Daves): Davey the drummer and Abi the vocalist.

We discuss retro computer games (bonus points if you spot the hidden game theme music), when things started going down hill in the world, irritating pets, riots, our home towns and of course we squeeze in a bit of chat about their band.

Niallism's off at a pop concert this week so Tom has soldiered on ably assisted by Danny Barrett off The Crash Mats. We talk bad santas, unserious music journalists, offer advice to some social anxiety sufferers and get a gig report from Robin Hood's Bay.

Tuneful offerings this week come courtesy of: Reason To Leave, Popclaw, Panda Lasagne, Mean Jeans and Fucked Up

Us and Punk Rock Elite Podcast put together a tribute to NOFX's Punk in Drublic album to commemorate its 30th anniversary. It's all for charity, so get it bought,

In order to breakdown and dissect this musical monolith, we've recruited the beast from the North East, Mick off Tearjerker, to do just that.

Listen in and be amazed at the variety on the comp, the sterling effort all bands have put in and be double amazed at the articulate way we describe the songs.

Which one of us has a secret musical theatre background? Which band inadvertently gets accused of living in a dingy basement? Just what is a "laid back night venue"? The only way to find out is by giving this a spin!

Musical Contributions are from: The Punk Cellist, Get The F Outta Dodge, Heligan, Tearjerker, Blagged, The Crash Mats, Loudmouth, White Trash, Two Theys and a Jock, Eat Defeat, Pat Decline, Zero Cost, Graham Aspinall, The Disposables, Hike The Peak, The Latchkey Kids, Austerity Dogs, Noah Skape, Bad Milk Blood Robot, Emilie Plamondon and Making Friends.

Release Day is here and we are all as amazed as anyone! We have a full play through of one of the tracks too!

What better way to usher in St Andrew's Day than with cosmopolitan Glaswegians, Low Level Monk!

Here at MLPP we've been instantly hooked on their melodies and pumped up by their mid-life angst and we hope that you'll like 'em too!

We discuss cover bands, tribute bands, long back syndrome, day drinking over night drinking, the current crop of Caledonian punk bands and much more besides.

Tom has a gig report featuring former guests, Niall has the Scottish weather update and we once again attempt to unpack the upcoming nuclear holocaust. Happy St Andrew's Day, everybody.

Music this week is courtesy of: The Troops, Discharge, Blitz, The Real McKenzies and Propagandhi.

It's something a bit different this week as we're joined by Morgan off Down & Outs and Pardon Us....but not as you know him!

Morgan's latest Audio/Visual project sees him take well established artistes and their hit songs, then completely change the genre.

We discuss his genre-combo inspiration, the potential for fans to take it the wrong way and the special back-stories created for each artists change of direction.

Tom has multiple gig reports from both abroad and just up the road, Niall has an announcement relating to clothing and we also give an update on the Punk In Drublic tribute compilation! (Out on 29th November!)

Songs this week are by/re-imaginings of: Spice Girls, Frenzal Rhomb, Metallica, Mr Shiraz, Guttermouth, Judas Priest, Milloy, The Prodigy and Roach Squad.

The infamous musical about the true crime that shocked the nation in the late noughties, Shannon Matthews: The Musical was released back in 2010 as an audio only effort. Now, Shannon Matthews: The Musical: The Movie is about to be released on the silver screen.

The creator and composer of the piece is Kunt, off Kunt and the Gang, and he's graciously given us some of his time to tell us about his magnum opus.

We talk censorship, legal department overreach, tabloid news interest, recruiting supporting artistes and everything else Shannon.

No matter how your year's been, Glasgow's Bad Year will certainly improve it. 

Chris, the band's singing bass player, joins us to discuss their latest release "Moancore".

As well as this, we discuss terrible jobs, terrible celtic punk bands, terrible diets and terrible commutes.

We have a WORLD EXCLUSIVE track from Sprainer, Tom's got a gig report and we tease you with an upcoming special episode.

Music this week comes from: The Abs, Sprainer, Simon Wells, Dillinger Four and Caught Fire.

Cast your mind back to 2002. Any British punk worth their salt at that time would've whiled away hours of their young lives watching music videos by their favourite punk artists, both British and otherwise, on the only TV channel dedicated to punk rock: P-Rock TV.

Such was it's impact, 22 years later, Alex Shipman from Silver Knight Entertainment has made a documentary about it!

Alex joins us in MLPP towers, but she's bought along Mark and Russell, two of the trio behind the now legendary channel!

Join us as we wax lyrical about Whitmore, fart about discussing 4ft Fingers and prepare to be amazed at just how short of a time the channel existed, despite its impact on the scene of the time.

Nostalgia's the order of the day, with songs by DeeCracks, Stupid Brick, Fenix TX, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Green Day, Not Katies and Uncle Brian. 

This week, we're joined by Pete and Josh from off Warrington's very own Snakes Among Us are in MLPP Towers.

These hardcore, thrashy buggers are a relatively new addition to the UK scene, so we are hoping to give you the low down before anyone else.

We discuss the two main topics of their songs, going down with audiences better far from home, record pre-production and films.

Tom's timed his watching of a horrifying cult classic perfectly, Niall loves Tom's Whitney Houston joke and we give the final word on the demise of NOFX.

Music comes from: Wildhearts, 28 Days, Sprainer, Pure Graft and Hotel Party.

Author Chris MacDonald has joined us this week to discuss his new tome "Days & Days: A Story About Sunderland's Leatherface and the ties that bind". The book is available as of the 8th October from Little Rocket Records.

Chris' book is part memoir, part travel diary and part Leatherface documentary (including talking heads!).

Chris takes us through the back packing trip around the British Isles which led to him meeting our Mackem heroes, how he navigated the variety of accents he encountered and British food gets its best review from the other side of the Atlantic in decades.

Tom's all shook up after watching a biopic, Niall's all grumped up after hearing about a melding of festive decorations and we discuss the weird goings on a Puff Daddy's mansion.

Music is from: Leatherface (obviously), Misfits, Toy Dolls, Priceduifkes, Sweet Baby, GBH, Exit Condition and Bratakus.
