Episode 381: Flatfoot 56.

Author: Punk Till I Die March 6, 2026 Duration: 2:07:12
The PTID guys catch up with Flatfoot 56 guitarist/vocalist Tobin Bawinkel. They talk about the early days of the band, and what a long strange trip it's been. There's some great tour stories, along with an update on upcoming gigs, including the Record Farm's 10th anniversary show in Logansport on Mar 21st. With songs from Flatfoot 56 and 6'10". 

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.
