Episode 363: Don't Fear the Zero (Boys).

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!

The PTID guys catch up with Stephen Hockenhull AKA Hocky from Instant Agony and a bunch of other bands. Although they never met, Neil and Hocky grew up close to each other and shared many experiences and gigs. Listen to them compare English slums and classic shows. Hocky is still active, so they also talk about what he's up to these days. With songs from Instant Agony and BiteBack. NOTE: This second version fixes the audio issues at the end of the previous version. 

The PTID guys catch up with Stephen Hockenhull AKA Hockey from Instant Agony and a bunch of other bands. Although they never met, Neil and Hockey grew up close to each other and shared many experiences and gigs. Listen to them compare English slums and classic shows. Hockey is still active, so they also talk about what he's up to these days. With songs from Instant Agony and BiteBack.

Tom goes to see Hatebreed to watch the kids dance like mental patients, and catches the Dayglo Abortions before they were arrested two days later. Neil has a good time at a punk rock pool party, and sits front row for a Smiths tribute band. The PTID guys even discuss a possible return to Riot Fest. With songs from Skinhead, The Meatmen, Sludgeworth, Street Brats, The Bloody Pickups, and Dayglo Abortions.

The PTID guys have the pleasure of catching up with SoCal punk pioneer, label owner and tastemaker Robbie Fields, founder of Posh Boy Records. Without his keen ear the world might never have heard Social Distortion, Agent Orange, TSOL, Adolescents or Channel 3, and he's got a story about every one. The sound can be a bit dodgy at times as he was connecting from a cellphone in the Philippines, but it's worth hanging in there. With songs from Agent Orange, The Nuns, The Simpletones, TSOL, Social Distortion, CH3, and The Adolescents. NOTE: All songs are the Posh Boy versions.
