Punks In Pubs — Ep. 66 — Liam continues his three episode US Election coverage by bringing in Pat Thetic of Anti Flag. The pair discuss the sad state of American elections and how the majority are forced to choose which man you dislike less rather than the one trying to best serve the populace. Pat also attempts to rally listeners to not sit back regardless of who wins and to take to the streets to keep pushing the leaders closer and closer to the will of the people.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
