Valve's A Punk!

Valve's A Punk is back for a February episode with some news and tour dates, reviews of some recent shows, and a look at the infamous Australian CD compilation, 'Punk You!' which contained not just overseas favourites like the Descendents, Millencolin, Guttermouth, and Suicidal Tendencies, but also a disc loaded with Australian bands from the time - some of which are still around today (many would say that with surprise.) We also play some new tunes from the local and international punk scene.

Back from an extended break for 2024, a look at how 2023 went for albums and gigs, and what 2024 might bring. I also give a quick review of the Good Things Festival.

A podcast looking at the world of heavy music, including Punk, Metal, and Hardcore, along with playing a few new releases and some classics from more underground bands. In this episode, I introduce myself and tell a bit of my story of how I got into the world of heavy music.
