Episode 396: Teenage Bottlerocket.

Author: Punk Till I Die June 20, 2026 Duration: 1:07:56
The PTID guys caught up with Ray (Carlisle) Rocket while he was on tour with SACK in Texas. Ray fights through phone problems and the blazing heat to update them on the world of TBR. They get into the band's new label, the writing process, and overcoming geographic issues. There's also talk about the big free Punk Till I Die/Bonus Pints show in Logansport on June 27th! With old and new songs from Teenage Bottlerocket. 

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.
