Punk Till I Die

Tom and Neil finally get a DUI. Two of them actually. Chris and Mark from Milwaukee punks The DUIs stop by to have a brew and talk about their new record. These guys have been a part of the PTID family for years, and Wasted Disaster is the first release on Punk Till I Die Records. With killer tunes from The DUIs, and Skinhead.

Tom went to Savage Mountain Punk Fest and once again survived to tell the tale. He details the good, the bad and the sexy. In stark contrast, he spends the next couple of days watching tennis with the upper crust. Neil goes to see Midge Ure and makes it home in time for a good night's sleep. With songs from Reckless Threat, The Putz The Stivs, The Virus, The Effigies, Giuda, Ultravox!, and Wayward Brigade.

Fresh off Neil's tour of the Punk Rock Museum, the PTID guys have an epic chat with brothers Sal and Dan Canzonieri from Electric Frankenstein.

Featuring high voltage rock and roll from Electric Frankenstein.

NYC's 45 Adapters have spent the last 15 years making some great punk rock. Founder and lead singer Gerrard Lindsay (Pickabar) speaks to the PTID guys about a bunch of topics, including skinhead culture, fashion, and of course music.

Neil braves Las Vegas in July to see Morrissey. Other than melting and taking in the show at the House of Blues, he also manages to tour the Punk Rock Museum with Dan from Electric Frankenstein as his guide.

Tom heads to Chicago to meet up with Neil and a bunch of friends and  listeners. They take in a punk potpouri of Raging Nathans, The Bollweevils, Sloppy Seconds and The Queers  Then Tom heads back east to see the same show in Detroit.

The PTID guys were able to catch up with lead singer Pete Stahl and bassist Enoch (Skeeter) from the seminal DC band Scream. They talked about the old days and rubbing elbows with the soon to be rich and famous. They talked about their shift in style and their philosophy now and then, and a little about their 2023 “comeback” album DC Special. It's an interesting glimpse into that storied scene.
