Episode 382: Frankenstein.

Author: Punk Till I Die March 13, 2026 Duration: 1:49:32
This stitched together episode starts with the PTID guys talking about a few things bothering them. Dropkick Murphys, Punk in the Park, politics in punk and a few other topics are discussed. There's also some gig talk, including the mighty Negative Approach! Finally their old pal Matt Swisher joins them to talk about all the cool stuff going down in Logansport, including a date reveal for the annual PTID show. With songs from Against the Grain, Flamingo Nosebleed, Remote Controls, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Brother O Brother and The Toy Dolls. 

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.
