  • MLPP208 - Horace Pinker
    Oct 14 2025

    Easily the most famous Horace is the pop group Horace Pinker, who have settled in for a Monday night chat at MLPP Towers this week.

    The veteran punkers who are from everywhere share their stories about getting into punk, what their parents thought about it, being so wild that some famous white guys (who are pretty fly) wouldn't stay at their house, having some legends play a show in your bedroom and a whole lot more. The "do they like a laugh?”-o-meter was off the scale with these guys, so settle down and enjoy a full HP retrospective.

    Tom has been doing manly things, Niallism's got a gig report and as always there's tip top tunes for you.

    Those tunes are from: Cocksparrer, The Asthma Kids, Kunt & The Gang, Drug Church and Quit It!

    We hope to knock this one out of the proverbial park this week as we welcome pro-pitcher, pro-vocalist and all round nice chap, Scott Radinsky from off California's very own Pulley.

    Scott also sets the record straight on a number of matters ranging from leaving his previous band to Masked Intruder stealing their passports.
