Sarah's rounded up all the best new punk-rock releases so that you don't have to. In this episode she also discusses owning too many band t-shirts, the perils of Christmas and the joys of falling in love with bands when you least expect it.

December's episode is pretty heavy on melodic punk, with a bit of folk-, hardcore- and skate-punk thrown in for good measure. The episode features brand new tunes from the likes of Roughneck Riot and Sunliner, and we've tried to highlight a few new bands you'll want to discover: Party Boss, Cool Jerks and ALLDEEPENDS.

We give you a big previous of a gig we're putting on in collaboration with Garlic Bread Club. Our birthday bash takes place on January 22nd 2022 at Retro Bar in Manchester. The lineup includes Drones, Brassick, Fair Do's, Piss Kitti, Other Half, Cool Jerks, Disaster Forecast and Smoking Give You Big Tits. You can get tickets from garlicbreadclub.bigcartel.com.
