Episode 385: Logansport and Handsome Dick.

Author: Punk Till I Die April 4, 2026 Duration: 1:51:30
Tom and his crew head to Logansport for The Record Farm's 10th anniversary celebration with Against the Grain, Flatfoot 56 and the rest. Just a couple days later he sees the legendary Handsome Dick Manitoba in Grand Rapids. The PTID guys also acknowledge the passing of fellow Dictator Ross the Boss. With songs from Shaved for Battle, Night Killer, Shot Baker, The Dictators, The Strains, The Wasps and The Starjets.

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.
