Episode 390: Stiff Little Book.

Author: Punk Till I Die May 9, 2026 Duration: 1:54:53
The PTID guys have a nice time chatting with author Kevin Dunn. He recently penned the 33 1/3 series book about Stiff Little Fingers' classic debut album, Inflammable Material. It's a fascinating look at an early punk band, but also provides valuable insight into The Troubles, as well as punk's occasional influence on greater society. With songs from SLF, Rudi, Protex, The Outcasts and Undertones. 

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.
