Born in Venezuela and raised in Chile, Eva LeBlanc is the frontwoman of the hardcore punk band Traidora, as well as a multidisciplinary artist, musician and writer based in the UK. Eva's upbringing was a restless one, and she started her first band as a young teenager. After a life-changing visit to the legendary Dial House, she knew she had found a home—both in a new country and within punk.

In this episode, Eva discusses her pathway into punk and how its intensity, its rage, joy and uncompromising spirit, has translated into a way of living, creating and resisting. Alongside Traidora, Eva has also collaborated with Eve Libertine of CRASS and continues to be an active presence in the UK's DIY punk scene.

In this episode, we speak with Marv Gadgie: legendary instigator of gig-time rumness at the  Indian Queen pub in Boston not Boston (the Lincolnshire one, not the American one), zine and book writer, and a sharp observer of both the absurd and the hidden wonders of everyday life. We trace Marv's journey into punk, from discovering Discharge to moving to Boston and helping transform the Indian Queen into an unlikely but vital stop on the DIY touring circuit, welcoming bands like Tragedy, Victims, Fucked Up, Warhead, Code13, DS13, Catharsis, Phobia, Stupids, Varukers, and Municipal Waste. More than just a venue, the Indian Queen became a meeting place where friendships were forged, ideas exchanged, and an international network of people connected through punk took shape.

Along the way, we explore the rich history of Boston's punk scene, talking about hometown heroes such as Urko and the much-missed Jas Toomer, as well as newer bands like Gristle. Throughout the conversation, we reflect on how punk is sustained not simply by records and gigs, but by the friendships, generosity, and communities that grow around the music, alongside plenty of stories, humour, and an appreciation for the extraordinary hidden within the seemingly ordinary.

Excuse the audio quality on this one..and the regional accents... Thanks to Rob Migone for doing his best with the audio!!

In this episode, we talk with Scoot about far more than punk. We discuss growing up in a poor working-class family, the perspective that came from a career spent caring for others, and how that shaped the way he viewed the opportunities music gave him. From touring the world to remembering that his first trip abroad wasn’t until he was 19 — a journey to Belgium with Doom — we explore what those experiences meant in the context of where he came from.

We also reflect on Scoot’s relationship with alcohol, the challenges of navigating life on and off the road, and how gratitude, class, and personal growth have remained constant threads throughout his journey. It’s an honest conversation about punk, work, privilege, addiction, and never losing sight of where you came from.
