Episode 357: Instant Agony (take 2!!)

The PTID guys are thrilled to talk to one of the true Godfathers of New York Hardcore, Agnostic Front singer Roger Miret. The wide ranging conversation gets into the early days in the Lower East Side, and the way the band operates today. There's talk about the new record, as well as fellow H/C legends like Vinnie Stigma and Harley Flanagan. With new and old songs from Agnostic Front, and Roger Miret and the Disasters. 

Way back in 1995, Rhythm Collision's Clobberer was one of Tom's favorite albums. Three decades later he and Neil catch up with the recently reunited band, and they're happy as a clam. They talk about the band's past, present and future, and all the bumps and bruises along the way. With songs by Rhythm Collision.  

Tom and Neil drag their old bones off the couch to go to a bunch of gigs. Municipal Waste, Cannibal Corpse, The Darkness, Morrissey, Fear, The Oxys, Zero Boys, Terror and more get scrutinized PTID style. How early did Neil go home? How many PBRs did Tom drink? With songs from Oxymorons, Fear, Crisis Actor, Wet Denim, Zero Boys and Bitter Truth.

In this installment of PTID, Dr. Trauma and Dr. Liverpool are joined by a couple of the the brightest (filthiest?) minds in punk, Dr. Strange and Dr. Disk. Their NC-17 discussion touches on a number of topics, mostly revolving around proctology and Riot Fest 2025. Listen at your own peril! With songs from Suburban Lawns, Screeching Weasel, Naked Raygun, Feral Tact, D-Day, and XTC. 

Tom returned to Riot fest with Dr. Disk from Goldmine Magazine after taking an 11 year break. What bands were great, and who was disappointing? Who were the best and worst interviews? Who did GWAR sodomize with a chainsaw? And most importantly, did he talk Neil into giving Riot Fest another try? With songs from The Effigies, Zero Boys, Screeching Weasel, Camper Van Beethoven, Didjits, and Naked Raygun.

Listeners demanded it, and the PTID guys delivered in the clutch! Tom and Neil have a nice chat with Pulley frontman and former MLB left handed reliever Scott Radinsky. They talk about his Nardcore roots in Scared Straight, his time in Ten Foot Pole, and the eventual formation of Pulley. There's talk of the band's time on Epitaph, and Tom even indulges in some baseball talk. With songs from Pulley, Ten Foot Pole and Scared Straight. 

Oxys' guitarist Jason "Ginchy" Kottwitz stops by PTID for the second time. They have a conversation as big as Texas about a bunch of topics. They dig into the songwriting process, their shared hatred for a certain streaming service, playing for Cleopatra Records and touring foibles, among other things. With songs from the brand new Oxys' record, "Casting Pearls Before Swine."

Long time Motor City punk Amado Guadarrama stops by for the second time for a wide ranging talk about all things Detroit. They also dig into the new Norcos Y Horchata record, Precious Little Album, and the band's continued evolution. With songs by Norco's Y Horchata!
