In our final "normal" episode of 2023, we're joined by two DIY Punk heavyweights, Bev & Andy from Manchester's very own TNS records!

Born from a fanzine way back in 2003, TNS has evolvd somewhat into a leading UK independent record label with its bolt-on annual live music event Manchester Punk Festival.

How do they decide which bands to unleash on us all? What gets on people's nerves about DIY bands? Will there be another TNS Tour? Listen in to find out!

Niall has a very confusing Christmas raffle going on, Tom's feeling alright and we remind you, one last time, about our 12 dys of Christmas run down.

Music this week is from: Screeching Weasel, Bang Bang Bunny, The Lawrence Arms, Faintest Idea, Bruise Control, Knife Club, Electric Press, Stubborn Allstars and Clayface.

Be Fair are back! Last time, ony their dear leader, Dickkie could make it, but this time he's bought the full band along to share the burden.

They've got a new drummer, a shed load of new tracks and an upbeat outlook on life.

We chat about their song lyrics, they give us an EXCLUSIVE play of their next single and we discuss hairy meat, grim pub snack discoveries, the reddest gig venue in Yorkshire and make a playlist for people they hate.

Tom & Niall are OUTRAGED by the brass neck on some people, a new method of ingesting nicotine and it's a special boy's birthday.

Music for ou this week comes from Taking On Water, 98 Mute, The Vandals, Healer of Bastards and H.D.Q

The band formerly advertised as emo, Tearjerker, have trundled down from Sunderland this week and come in for high praise from your two favourite fat lads.

We discuss their brand new self titled LP (released on Little Rocket Records this month), various Sunderland venues, helpful european truckers, unhelpful kebab shop owners and roadside recovery services in the South of England and of course, the boys smile and nod as we ask them your frankly weird questions.

Tom's been a last minute DJ, Niall has been ill again and we act out an interview that we were sent.

Music for you this week is from The Dwarves, Malad, Failures The Puncturists and Making Friends.
