Yam Oroight? Another Tom On One for you all this week, and the "one" is none other than Healer of Bastard's very own bass player, Al Lowe!

Al is a full on west midlander, with the voice and everything so Tom is very happy to be amongst his people.

We discuss key musical moments from Al's life: From when he turned greeb as a teen, all the way through to when he turned 30.

SERIOUS WARNING: There's some quite graphic injury detail, so if you're squeamish or listening with kids (you shouldn't be, it's quite sweary) then maybe skip the skateboarding segment.

We also reminisce about songs the pandemic gave us, build Al's ultimate bass trio, hear about millionaires after free stuff and just who did Al name his cat after?

Songs this week are from: Green Day, Guttermouth, Grail Guard, NOFX, Pears and Bad Religion.

Happy New Year! To kick off 2026, we have a Tom On One episode, featuring friend of the show, bed pisser, front man of Born Shit Stirrers and the second most understandable member of the Fukpunk Radio crew, Jon Bates.

We hear about tracks that accompanied Jon's life when he turned 18, 21, 30 and 40. We discuss some significant events from Jon's life in those years, as well as significant global events.

The tracks this week come from Ten Pole Tudor, Millionyears, Avail, Randy, Red Alert and The Queers.

The swindle continues in the second part of our festive magnum opus: The complete deconstruction of 1980s highest grossing movie (about the Sex Pistols) "The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle".

Danny Barrett off The Crash Mats and Eddie French off Punk Rock Elite Podcast are still in and Danny is revealing himself to be a Sex Pistols expert as we move through.

This half has changing nationalities, a trip to Brazil, a talking dog, a French resistance fighter (probably) and of course, more flaccid cocks.

Merry Christmas Everyone. See you in 2026.

Merry Christmas one and all! We all like a good movie over the festive period, but we also like slagging off crap movies too. Hence, Tom has summoned the two best film critics he knows: Danny Barrett off The Crash Mats and Eddie French off Punk Rock Elite Podcast to discuss, dissect and review Julien Temple's 1980 "documentary", The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle, which stars The Sex Pistols and their hangers on.

Part 1 has all the things you imagine when thinking about punk rock: Gimp masks, funk medleys, jamming rock n roll standards, child nakedness and singing lessons.

The film's available to watch on YouTube, so it may be worth watching that so you know what we're on about here.

Part 2 will land in a couple of days!

Tom's on one about audiobooks, Mark reveals his Christmas party plans and a previous guest from the North East thinks something is a fookin disgrace.

It's time to visit Brighton....but only after we've been to Croydon first to chat with Crystal Palace supporter, tall man and bass player of Phinius Gage, Mr Mike Scott.

Phinius Gage kept us entertained almost a quarter of a century ago with their skate-punk riffage and hectic touring schedule before calling it a day in 2007. But, now they're back!

We talk about missing the P-Rock TV boat by moments, punk and metal interplay, crisps, your favourite bands playing right near your house, being sponsored by a vile drink and much more.

Tom's joined by Jake off Los Fatso Libres who does an excellent job co-piloting.

Songs this week are from: Dead Kennedys, Our Souls, Dogpiss, Crocodile God and The Muckaz.

Spike Slawson, enigmatic frontman of Spike & The Gimme Gimmes has hauled himself into MLPP Towers this week ahead of their UK tour next month.

The lad likes a chat, so we cover a lot: The name change, getting booed at bar mitzvahs, Christmas songs, getting booed at baseball games, Spike's last live music experience as a punter, some scary UK cities, and getting booed at a Quinceañera.

Tom's joined by guest co-host Danny Barrett, we get a global exclusive sneaky peeky at a track from the upcoming Shackleford album (coming on Brassneck Records in 2026), and we have an exciting new culture correspondent to introduce you to!

Music is from: TSOL, Shackleford (WORLD EXCLUSIVE), Pete Bentham and The Dinner Ladies, Ordinary Boys and SkinHead.
