Cast your mind back to 2002. Any British punk worth their salt at that time would've whiled away hours of their young lives watching music videos by their favourite punk artists, both British and otherwise, on the only TV channel dedicated to punk rock: P-Rock TV.

Such was it's impact, 22 years later, Alex Shipman from Silver Knight Entertainment has made a documentary about it!

Alex joins us in MLPP towers, but she's bought along Mark and Russell, two of the trio behind the now legendary channel!

Join us as we wax lyrical about Whitmore, fart about discussing 4ft Fingers and prepare to be amazed at just how short of a time the channel existed, despite its impact on the scene of the time.

Nostalgia's the order of the day, with songs by DeeCracks, Stupid Brick, Fenix TX, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Green Day, Not Katies and Uncle Brian.

This week, we're joined by Pete and Josh from off Warrington's very own Snakes Among Us are in MLPP Towers.

These hardcore, thrashy buggers are a relatively new addition to the UK scene, so we are hoping to give you the low down before anyone else.

We discuss the two main topics of their songs, going down with audiences better far from home, record pre-production and films.

Tom's timed his watching of a horrifying cult classic perfectly, Niall loves Tom's Whitney Houston joke and we give the final word on the demise of NOFX.

Music comes from: Wildhearts, 28 Days, Sprainer, Pure Graft and Hotel Party.

Author Chris MacDonald has joined us this week to discuss his new tome "Days & Days: A Story About Sunderland's Leatherface and the ties that bind". The book is available as of the 8th October from Little Rocket Records.

Chris' book is part memoir, part travel diary and part Leatherface documentary (including talking heads!).

Chris takes us through the back packing trip around the British Isles which led to him meeting our Mackem heroes, how he navigated the variety of accents he encountered and British food gets its best review from the other side of the Atlantic in decades.

Tom's all shook up after watching a biopic, Niall's all grumped up after hearing about a melding of festive decorations and we discuss the weird goings on a Puff Daddy's mansion.

Music is from: Leatherface (obviously), Misfits, Toy Dolls, Priceduifkes, Sweet Baby, GBH, Exit Condition and Bratakus.

Skanking and spitting bars from the arse-end of nowhere, DeadBeat At Dawn are Yorkshire's punk/ska/hiphop crossover beasts and they've lent us one of their vocalists. Aaron, to give us the lowdown.

We discuss surviving the doldrum years of Ska, the international Ska scene, touring with some legends and borrowing lyrics.

Post apocalyptic movies, old UK television shows about high school and a rumble with a singer from down under are also chatted about.

Tom's watched a film he'd like to recommend, Niallism's burnt his head off, there's a social experiment that Tom's carried out on himself and everything else you've learned not to hate and just put up with.

Music this week is by: Polysics, The Bad Ups, Bad Religion, The Carolyn and Off With Their Heads

The Last Supper. That's the name of Pizzatramp's third, and supposedly final, album. Jim is in to discuss the meticulous recording and writing processes, where he draws lyrical inspirational from and we get all the info on Pizzatramp's famous gimmick.

Get ready for racist dogs, hot takes on the Brothers Gallagher, life after being a postie and roping your children into your foolish endeavours.

Tom and Niallism are shocked, but also not shocked, by Walmart's latest white power t-shirt range (no, seriously), Niall's had a DIY disaster and all our usual moans and groans.

Music this week is by: The Vandals, The Happys, Beastie Boys, Sloppy Seconds and Yellowcake.

Shhh. Enjoy the Great Silence.

Will and Dec have popped into MLPP Towers this week to discuss their pop group. This quartet were born from the ashes of bands like Hummer, Only Strangers and more, so their punk pedigree is the only thing that matches up to their sheer musical skill.

We chat about films, curries, Stoke on Trent, classic rock bands and more.

Niallism has also been to a gig, which he’s reviewed, and will relay his thoughts on.

Music this week is courtesy of : The Slow Death, Weak Asleep, Vamos, Low Level Monk and Rites of Spring.
