Episode 297:Against the Grain.

Author: Punk Till I Die August 6, 2024 Duration: 1:55:04
The PTID guys have a nice chat with Rob Nowak, the world's tallest drummer. Rob spent a decade touring with his Detroit based band, Against the Grain. They discuss criss crossing the country with Meatmen, Zeke and many more. They also talk about the upcoming Blackout BBQ also featuring Fear, Guida and DOA. Against the Grain might even have a guest appearance from an old school Michigan punk! With songs from The Meatmen, Turbonegro, Zeke, and Against The Grain. 

Tune into Punk Till I Die for the sound of two weathered voices from different sides of the Atlantic. Hosts Tom Trauma and LiverpoolNeil are veterans of the scene, and their conversations meander through everything and nothing, always circling back to the music that defines them. This isn't a history lecture or a rigid review show; it's the feeling of hanging out in a basement after a show, where passionate debate and personal anecdotes carry as much weight as any fact. You'll get unfiltered opinions and sharp commentary on punk's past, its present incarnations, and what the future should hold, all delivered with the authenticity that only comes from having lived it. Crucially, this podcast is fueled by the soundtrack of the movement itself, blending classic anthems with newer discoveries across every era of punk rock. The guiding principle here is simple: no rules. It's a raw, funny, and often insightful look at a culture that refuses to die, hosted by two who clearly never will.
