Acweorna! After last week's Power Pop & Punk Special, normal service is well and truly resumed as The Paranoid Squirrel returns with another hour of Punk, Junk & Glunk.

This week's show is packed with brand-new releases, punk classics, exclusive tracks, gig news, live reviews and, of course, the welcome return of Covers Corner, where familiar songs are turned upside down and given a whole new lease of life.

Along the way there's a look at the UK Subs' farewell tour, a review of a recent visit to London's legendary Hope & Anchor, the latest news from the punk underground, and stories linking together musicians and bands in the wonderfully interconnected world of rock 'n' roll.

As always, a huge thank you goes to the artists, record labels and friends of the show who continue to send me new music. Your support allows me to shine a light on both established names and the next generation of bands keeping the spirit of punk, power pop and rock alive.

So whether you're a lifelong punk, a power pop obsessive, or simply someone who enjoys discovering great music, pull up a chair, turn the volume up and join me for another journey through the ever-expanding world of Punk, Junk & Glunk...

Acweorna! This week, The Paranoid Squirrel celebrates the irresistible meeting point of punk rock attitude and infectious pop melodies with a full hour of classic and contemporary Power Pop. From pioneering favourites such as The Boys, Buzzcocks and The Undertones to modern torchbearers including Cyanide Pills, The Speedways and The Reflectors, it's an hour packed with chiming guitars, unforgettable hooks and singalong choruses. Add in a few hidden gems, some record news and the usual Paranoid Squirrel enthusiasm, and you've got the perfect soundtrack for anyone who loves their punk with a melody.
