C'mon y'wee tubes! Board the MLPP express to Scotland where you'll be greeted by some very affable scotchmen, Polar Bears In Purgatory!

Yes, we're back amongst Niallism's tribe this week to discuss the enduring band PBIP. We get dazzled by their genius, get disappointed when they don't write jingles and also chat a bit about their band.

We ask all the killer questions, such as: Where can you header a turnip? What is a Pizzly Bear? Are there robots in the afterlife?

Tom has had a terrible Sunday in a terrible place, Niall puts his own wellbeing behind your pets' needs, there's a spooky email submission and we keep the wankers at bay with our opening track.

Music is from: The Longest Line, Jesse, Chubby & The Gang, Black Rain and Pansy Division (it's a right ear worm, you're welcome)

Returning guests again this week as we host Mick, Golly (and to a lesser extent, Pikey) from off Sunderland's very own Diaz Brothers!

They've got their difficult second album out there for us all so it's new tunes from that, personal choices from Mick and Golly and a good old time guaranteed.

We discuss pre-gig nerves, funny tours, Golly's glittering acting career and we call out Mick on his non-belief in the world wide web.

Tom's comedy genius comes back to bite him, Niallism's new business gets christened and we give a brief potted history of last week's Juddstock 2025 event in Nunny.

Music this week is from: Clowns, Skeetch, Polar Bears In Purgatory, Amy Winehouse, Buzzcocks, The Jones and Minimal Faff

Not long to go now chums! Part 2 of our "Road to Juddstock" episodes is here!

In this half, Blagged, The Crash Mats, Clayface, Wrong Life, Shackleford and Sunliner are the artistes in focus this time, and as well as quality facts about them and their quality tunes, there's also an indepth look at some of Nunny's most famous sons and daughters, architecture and a sad night many years ago when people tried to escape The Beatles.

Juddstock 2025 is imminent, and we have pledged to get you down there, by hook or by crook.

In the symbolic and literal heart of England, is Nuneaton. That is where Juddstock 2025 is being held. Tom and Niallism have welcomed some of the artistes and organisers into MLPP Towers for a sneaky look at some of the quality bands that will be rocking the Queen's Hall on June the 14th.

Tom, Niall, Dickkie, Dave, Don White from Shackleford as well as Danny Barrett off The Crash Mats are doing the chatting, Gutter Puppy, Breaker, Great Silence, Flinch and Tearjerker are doing the rockin'.

Part 2 is out on WEDNESDAY.

Don't worry, there's not 77 of them, just 4. and all 4 of 77 Spears are in MLPP Towers this week for a shooting of the breeze!

We discuss the fragrant public service they provide, their up coming album, making a live album, disappearing founder members and the band reveal how they push the boundaries of what can be merchandise to the very limit.

Tom has a holiday report, Niallism's joined a club and we discuss what might happen if some West Virginians were confronted with Coventry.

Additional music this week is from Tenpole Tudor, Septic & The Tanks, The Vandals, The Distillers and Irked.

Mid-Western 'Merica is the destination this week. Rad Skulls, a bunch of rad dads with rad tunes are the guests.

The boys talk us through the trials and tribulations of forming a new band in your 40s, which is hard. BUT, you get new friends, which is nice.

We shoot the breeze covering all manner of topics including but not limited to: electric drums, boozing, not boozing, British licencing laws, shifting priorities of an older band and much more.

Tom has been at the cider again, Niallism is keeping the location of his day out an unnecessarily closely guarded secret and also wheels out an old term of endearment for our guests.

Music is courtesy of: Zero Cost, Splitbox, Doc Hopper, Obvious Approach and Athlete

The rolling hills of Alba beckon us once again this week as we're joined by top pop-punk songsmith, impressionist and good lad Muzzy from off The Overbites.

We chat about punk fashion. We cut the through the noise on the hot topic of pronunciation of strange names. We get the secret of the Scotland scene's success and perhaps most pertinently, is there a market for soft rock in Dundee?

Niallism is plotting a gig, Tom's giving something back and we make an announcement on behalf of a mystery band member.

Music this week is from: Pkew Pkew Pkew, Los Fatso Libres, Antiseen, Sultans of Ping FC and Until It's Gone.

The Disposables. Cheshire's very own punk rock underdogs, are in MLPP Towers this week to talk us through their journey from a spare room lockdown project to the fully formed, fully rounded beat combo you see before you today.

We chat about home recording, self confidence, people harking back to the past, difficult Facebook groups, line up changes and more.

Both of your hosts have supplied gig reports this week. One wholesome and uplifting, the other bleak and depressing. Who delivers which one may surprise you.

Music this week is by: Rotunda, The Vicious Cycles, Assorted Jelly Beans, Cleavers and Comfort Girl.
