So expect to hear lots on that. Find out more about The Inevitables by clicking this link

Vinnie talks about moving from New Jersey to Florida in his late teens and explains that it was either moving down the East Coast or jail time!

Liam asks Vinnie about his work outside of Less Than Jake with Paper and Plastic and his stint with Fueled by Ramen. They, of course, also talk about his time with Less Than Jake and how being physically and mentally broken lead him to stepping down from the band that Vinnie created 28 years ago.

Six years ago Liam produced a radio documentary for the BBC called 'Sound of the Police'

It was a documentary that looked into the lack of trust in the police within the young black community in the UK and how Stop Search (or Stop and Frisk as its known in the US) had played its part in the mistrust.

It was broadcasted in June 2014 but still holds up with what is going on today, so we decided we would put it out as a special episode.

The doc was presented by journalist, musician and filmmaker called Boya Dee.

Below are a few organisations that you should check out if you want to know more about Stop Search.

This episode was recorded via Zoom on behalf of Punk Ethics to support their campaign 'Punks Against Sweatshops'.

Punks in Pubs was asked to present the Q&A with a panel that featured...

Propagandhi's Jord

Petrol Girls' vocalist Ren

The great Deek of Oi Polloi

Janey who is the vocalist of the 'punk witches' Dream Nails 

One half of In Evil Hour, Al & Gareth

And lastly the punk legend, Steve Ignorant

We came together to discuss the taboo subject matter of 'where do bands source their merch?'

You can expect chat on; bands confronting other bands, why we should all pay a little more for a T-shirt, how we can all do our bit to support workers' rights and we ask the question if anyone can live an ethical life?

We also touch on the impact of COVID-19 on the music and garment industries as well as ask why this punk panel was an all-white one?

If you would like to know more about how you can support the 'Punks Against Sweatshops' campaign https://www.punkethics.com/punksagainstsweatshops/
