Who are your top 10 all-time favourite guitarists? Top of the head stuff. Brian May Nicholaus Arson Prince Tony Iommi Mark Knopfler Jimmy Page Jimi Hendrix Nancy Wilson Slash Roger Taylor (you said favourite, ok? Leave me alone)

Happy New Year, everyone! 2025 was a doozy: a BBC Breakfast appearance, and me and Dave writing a strip for the Treasury of British Comics Annual were particular highlights. In 2026, I'll be getting into high gear on the next big SFL book project: The Scarred For Life Book of Horror Stories! 🥳 -Ste

Happy 2026 y'all. Stay with us for more chat. Love, Pank and Dave x

Happy New Year to all you beautiful Bluesky people 🦋💙 Positive vibes to everyone. Be kind, be tolerant, listen to punk rock and Black Sabbath, and down with the Nazis!

My new piece: on Trump and the bomb… ‘The fictional president of this account does not fare well – and one wonders whether this detail, more than the billions incinerated, might give Trump pause.’ spectator.com/article/dont...

AC/DC Lee would be an interesting - if poor selling- fusion.

Xmas Eve shoutouts to the best podcasts on the planet. I adore Blackadder, and discovering this podcast two years ago was a dream. Ian and Michael have a terrific repoire and continue to create fun and informative episodes. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/l...

Coming from the Podfather, this is high praise that we are hugely grateful for. Thanks @metalkevin.bsky.social.

Xmas Eve shoutout to the best podcasts on the planet. This was the best surprise of 2025. A terrific concept and wonderfully entertaining. Pank and Dave have hit a great formula that I’m looking forward to hearing continue into 2026. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/b...

Looking for a #podcast to binge this Xmas holiday? Like a bit of 80s music with a nuclear edge? Join @pankp007.bsky.social and @davenuclear.bsky.social for the whole of season 1 of Bang! Wherever you listen to pods. We have a joyous nuclear family.. more members welcomed.

Looking forward to hearing Fred singing Polar Bear but the irony of Queen calling anything of theirs "Not for sale" isn't lost on me... www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Behind door number 20 of the Scarred For Life advent calendar... a montage to prove that public information film reaction shots are the best reaction shots of all. Emote! Emote!

The Threads podcast Christmas special is a chat with Simon Moorhead, who was Assistant Floor Manager on the film. He tells us about rats in taxis, a raid from the Special Branch, and Mick Jackson swapping two Christs and one bugger for a fuck… @bangpodcast.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social

Interview with a Threads crew member for the podcast. That’s his original script!

A fine review as always... Difference between us - I go to it as a Queen album.

Have just listened to your last episode of this season. Been a brilliant podcast and look forward to your new one in January.

Thanks too guys for such a brilliant pod (except for Level 42).

One season in and these guys have a dedicated following, including me! Tune jn if you can! Another 101 for 2026. You have a month to catch up on the first 101.

Too many shout-outs. @indashadoz.bsky.social @johnlogsdon.bsky.social @ianwinick.bsky.social @allthatchas.bsky.social @epeolatrix.bsky.social @thewatersoflove.bsky.social @dhfwilson.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social @froggylelong.bsky.social @metalkevin.bsky.social You are all too kind...

And here it is. Episode 21. The family gets together. Honestly, from @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social, huge thanks and love for all of the nuclear family's support this year... open.spotify.com/episode/1cJf...

I've never heard anything quite like it. Next level, horrifying analysis. Must be heard...

This week’s guest on the Threads podcast is a real treat! 🙌🏼 Dr Vicky McMahon is a scholar who specialises in body studies and horror. We talk about the gender politics and body horror of Threads, and she explains why Mick Jackson is a God. @scarredforlife.bsky.social @bangpodcast.bsky.social

A glorious playlist from @bangpodcast.bsky.social Just the odd tune I'm not keen on, but what it proves to me is... I absolutely love '80s synth tunes. I must seek some on my birthday in... two days time!

Episode 21! Out on Monday. All we need is you!

Excellent episode, as ever, from the @allthatchas.bsky.social stable.

NEW EPISODE! If you’ve watched Threads, you remember the hospital scene. Well, this week’s guest was there! Bruce Langridge talks about his experience with Threads, anti-nuclear activism, and free sandwiches. @bangpodcast.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...

Sorry, just disturbing everyone's dinner to state the obvious. The guy's a genius.

Thanks. Thanks a lot. I do an 80s podcast, ok? www.spotify.com/wrapped-shar...

Have just listened to your last episode and brilliant as always. Loved season one and look forward to the next season. Brilliant songs been picked and what a song to finish it with.

As ever, shout outs this episode are for @froggylelong.bsky.social @indashadoz.bsky.social @scarredforlife.bsky.social @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social @mocca1976.bsky.social @rodericmaxwell.bsky.social.

And here is the Apple link! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Here it is! We count down from 98 to 101. We did it! A wonderful message from the legendary Nena. We pay tribute to Jimmy Cliff, discuss two v different Xmas tunes by Jona Lewie & Weird Al Yankovic before finalising our list with 99 Luftballons/Red Balloons! open.spotify.com/episode/1uk0...

This is a great question by Ash and has me thinking. I'm sure our listeners will have some thoughts. @denisery.bsky.social rightly cites Power of Love by FGTH, albeit the video went all nativity. Same with Stay Now.

The Hives at Alexandra Palace. Intense power... What a live band they are.

As we finish our countdown for season 1 there could only be song at 101 (even if it has 99 it). @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social were honoured to meet Nena at her Shepherd's Bush Empire show a few weeks ago. She recorded us a fab message and couldn't have been kinder.

Seriously, I'm not bored....

A shameless plug for our podcast here, but if you wanna hear even more from Ste and Dave, listen to Episode 13... open.spotify.com/episode/6iyZ...

This was absolutely fantastic. Plenty of Threads chat for @allthatchas.bsky.social , Frankie, and Ste on top form.... www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002mmg1 Start at 8.30...

Another fine episode... And what news they break!

This episode's Scene Stealer is Miranda Richardson as the wetter-than-a-haddock’s-costume Amy Hardwood, a mysterious Northern beauty with a dark secret and an even darker hatred of squirrels. shows.acast.com/663dc3b21f99...

Looking at the footage and filming of this video is always so difficult... And yet in this moment, he still has the mischief and smirk. And always full of love. #Freddie @oiqfc.bsky.social

Jimmy Cliff and Dharmendra... Two icons of Jamaica and India. 81 and 89. Both gone today. 2 more heroes depart on 24th November.

What a song... What a band.... What else? What a pic sleeve... What lyrics! Enjoy Episode 19 of Bang as we begin the final countdown of season 1! And get in touch with us! Send us a voice note or MP3 with your favourite song of the 101...

Have just listened to the latest episode and always brilliant. Good to hear you’ll be back next year with another 101 songs.

And here's the Apple link for Episode 19! The season is almost complete but @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social ain't done yet.... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

So many shout-outs! @epeolatrix.bsky.social @johnlogsdon.bsky.social @timchuma.com @froggylelong.bsky.social @allthatchas.bsky.social. As ever, thank you all.

Episode 19 of Bang! is out. Our countdown (for season 1) is almost done. Tracks 93 to 97 are big. The Stranglers, Heaven 17, Morrisey, The Sound, Level 42 all feature. As does a film review. And our plans for... erm... Season 2! Join us! open.spotify.com/episode/3SnT...

Oops. Errata. Corrigenda. 93 to 97.

We're almost done with Season 1. Songs 94 to 98 are discussed in Episode 19. Out tomorrow. And here is one classic on the agenda. Oh and @davenuclear.bsky.social and @pankp007.bsky.social do some film reviewing too. #podcast #80smusic.
