  • MLPP217 - The Remote Controls
    Jan 29 2026

    The Remote Controls are in this week ahead of them being buried alive by snow as we spoke!

    It's straight up punk rock from these three, no messin'. We talk drinking culture, smoking culture, dream opening slots and, of course, their two full length records, the newest of which (Too Tough) came out late last year. And, you can get it from Brassneck Records, apparently.

    Danny Barrett takes his new place in the co-host chair for his maiden voyage, so go easy on him, because I didn't.

    Songs this week come from: The Vandals, unpolished*, Buzzcocks, Billy Bragg and Grail Guard.

    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.
