Release Ramble: Guitar Sparkles - Episode 13 with Jack Adamant
On the latest episode of Release Ramble, I have the joy of speaking to long-time supporter of the PunkStance page and pop-punk solo artist Jack Adamant. Having covered his work back in 2022, Jack and I became good friends and have vehemently supported each other ever since, so it was only a matter of time before he made his way onto the podcast. His recent release 'Over Signs' has been a huge success for Jack, and in this episode he goes into the trials and tribulations of its conception. Not only that, we take a deep dive into the way...

Albums That Saved My Life: A Big Bounty Sandwich - Episode 19 with Josh Dixon
On the latest episode of PodStance: The PunkStance Podcast, I reconnect with old friend, fellow radio man and offensively blonde man Josh Dixon. Having known each other for well over a decade, it was only a matter of time before Josh found himself on my podcast to talk all things music. From the classic Britpop power of the Stone Roses to the Icelandic inspiration that is KALEO, Josh's influences span a myriad of styles, soundscapes and countries. But it's not all music as you would expect from two friends catching up. We also debate about the best chocolate box...

Release Ramble: Eclectic Collection - Episode 12 with Copaxetic
In the latest episode of Release Ramble, I have the joy of talking to pop-punk solo artist Tyler Kozsey, professionally known as Copaxetic, about his latest singles. With influences ranging from hyperpop to modern hip-hop, Tyler's sound is unlike anything I've heard before, but it still firmly rooted in that familiar pop-punk scene. Moreover, we also delve into Tyler's personal struggles with self-worth; as a solo artist, it can be tricky to remain motivated and optimistic about your own work, and Tyler very kindly extrapolates on those feelings with me. This was an insightful conversation into genres and stylistic...

Release Ramble: Embrace Life - Episode 11 with Blackborne
In the latest episode of Release Ramble, I get chatting to Tobius Sundman, more commonly known as Blackborne. Following ten or so years in the metal scene, he has taken on his own project under the name Blackborne, and his debut single 'Death Is Not The End' is the first of many metal-inspired tracks he's developing. Releasing back on Valentine's Day under Legion Records, this debut single goes into great detail about grief and what lies after we die; it's an incredibly touching single that deals with some very difficult themes, something Tobius and I delve into ourselves.

On the latest episode of PodStance: The PunkStance Podcast, I grace you with my own presence for the first time in a while. With so much change going on in my life, I felt it wise to catch everyone up with what's been happening and how things have altered in my life. From moving house to becoming single to changing jobs, I am uprooting my life in a way I never have before, and it's equally both exciting and nerve-racking. Moreover, to stick with the notions of change, I talk about a different genre of music I love: drum...

On the first episode PodStance: The PunkStance Podcast in 2025, I talk to the latest in a long line of pop-punk fans Samia. Also, known as Lyrical Lies, Samia approached me through Reddit to discuss her love for the UK's very own pop-punkers You Me At Six and her journey from Southern Iraq to Illinois in America. Following a strict upbringing, pop-punk allowed Samia to express herself in her own idiosyncratic way, though that didn't stop her respecting her heritage.
