As mentioned on this week's episode, today (May 9th) is both World Buckfast day *and* World Collage Day. Does that make it World Punk Day by default?

Lots of great tunes by great bands, including Problem Patterns, Downtown Boys, Peer Pleasure, The Radiators, and some Bikini Kill because it was Kurt Cobain's birthday....
No new episode of #Punc this week kids: I'm busy trying to save my degree. Instead there will be a repeat of the first episode of the current series, from February 2026.
If that's not enough PUNC for you, I'll be taking part in a panel discussion about #zines on the 25th of April in Dún Laoghaire, details are around here somewhere.
Cheers!
OMG, I never posted the listing for this week's episode!!
This week it's all about Love and Hate. There will be Irish music (old and new-ish), there will be some international stuff, there will be Chumbawamba. It's going to be a music-stuffed episode. Requests are welcome!
