Author: Tom & Baz March 13, 2024 Duration: 1:21:19
Send us Fan Mail Jonathan Anastas from back in the day, OG Boston Hardcore legends DYS and founder-member of Slapshot is our guest this week! Jonathan's in to talk to us about the 40th anniversary re-release of DYS' "Brotherhood" on Bridge Nine Records. We also cover Slapshot, interesting interpretations of what DYS stands for and an interesting way of dealing with bootleggers! Tom and Niallism have been changing rock history, Tom's a poorly boy and Niall's skewed version of histroy shocks us...

From a spare room in Spondon, Derby, two lifelong friends who never quite grew out of their leather jackets are holding court. The Mid Life Punk Podcast is the weekly dispatch from Tom & Baz, a pair of self-described fat lads whose passion for the global punk scene burns as bright as ever. This isn't a nostalgia trip; it's a living, breathing connection to the music that matters, right now. Each episode blends raw, enthusiastic commentary on the bands and sounds they love with genuine conversations from their interview roster, pulling in voices from punk's wide and varied landscape. You'll hear the stories straight from the source, whether it's a band from down the road or one from across an ocean, all filtered through the distinct, grounded perspective of two guys who've seen a few things but haven't lost an ounce of their enthusiasm. Tune in for the kind of unpretentious, knowledgeable, and often hilarious chat you'd have with friends at the back of a gig, all dedicated to the relentless energy of punk rock. It's a celebration of the scene, served with a hearty dose of reality and a lot of laughs. Get rad with them.
