Thought easing back into the saddle would be easy, but getting back into anything after a lay off is difficult. Driving, Relationships, The Gym and even Podcasting / Radio - You just forget how somethings work...!  So, this episode was not without its struggles, now you have a shortened one. I recently became acquainted with Chad and Thora some local peeps busting their asses to make the local punk scene great again.  Chad plays in a few bands (Blanks 77 and The Mesos) and they also host the Pretty Vacant Podcast. So in recognition of the great music they play and promote I have included some of the awesome local / regional tunes that have been and are coming to the area, in addition to a whole host of other great punk and Oi! Enjoy the show and spread the love.

It's Friday and time for another Paddy Rock Podcast courtesy of Boot Boy Radio. This week I ask you all to exercise a bit of compassion when dealing with other people, you never know what is going on underneath their facade, and September is Suicide Prevention Month. This week sees a massive undertaking and change in my life, more of that to come later down the road, but it has been a challenge.  So please friends, just always be kind. This episode is a really great show of bangers lined up to keep you moving until the next one! And remember there are only 2 things in life that never change - Moose Knuckles and Camel Toes !  Slainte

Welcome back everyone - I am still catching up on back episodes. This show I have entitled That Old Dirt Road sees me spinning a lot of newer Street Punk and Oi! At the end though I take a walk down that old dirt road and revisit some of my favorite Celtic Punk tunes for what ends up being a really marvelous show.  And of course with it being May I had to open it up with Darth Vader's theme song, has there ever been a villain so menacing?  Anyway enjoy the show and we wil lcatch you again soon!

Many of you know me personally, many do not...  With that being said I tend to be a private person regardless. Well without being too specific I have been a little spotty lately due to life taking a left turn. My live shows have become hit or miss and my postings have become even more missed. I promise this is about to change.  And for those of you who liked and love the Paddy Rock Roots show, that may be resurrected soon too.  But for the meantime I do have a handful of older shows from this year I have yet to post up so I am about to. So as always turn it up loud and let the sweet sweet sounds of punk rock save your soul

Never will I tell you I am tough as nails, I am not. But I did grow up with a street level view or the world. That view was not always pretty, pleasant and or PG. I spent my share of time poor, broken and beat up - But I always got back up! It was music that drove me onward. Today's show is filled with Celtic Punk, Street Punk and Oi! They all share that same working class mentality and that street level view. Never ever let anyone else dictate to you what is possible, or not. You never know unless you go for it.  Don't forget to listen to Paddy Rock live Thursdays from 7 - 9 om EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sundays from 6-8 pm on www.BootBoyRadio.net.

I am still slinging bangers and this show was a great lead up for a weekend. Fueled with booze and maybe a hint of violence, today's show is heavily dominated by Oi! and Street Punk a plenty. So lace those boots up tight and get ready to jump into the pit. And just remember it's Friday o'clock somewhere, and that's probably in Australia !

St. Patrick's Day without much fanfare this year, simply put I was not in much of a mood. But as with all things that live, life goes on as it must. And as long as I live the show must go on. I am still working on posting up some more recent shows, quite a bit of Celtic so that will be a nice treat for the Paddy Rock Faithful. To those of you who reached out to me, I appreciate your love and support.
