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 stree...

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 ! Don't forget to listen to Paddy Rock live Thursdays from 7...

Still playing catch up with some older shows, but don't sweat it they are still rippers. This is The Celtic Punk & Oi! Jukebox - featuring many new Celtic Punk and Oi! tunes in addition to some old classics. A perfect show to get over the hump with! Enjoy your Wednesday and done forget to listen live Thursdays from 7 - 9 om EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm bot...

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 suppo...

Once last time Happy St. Patrick's Day Paddy Rockers. I promised to dust off a few old St. Patrick's Days shows that were absolute arse kickers, this is the last of them. The Legendary Whiskey Cast, including an intro from the Legendary Tony Duggins! Enjoy the show, drink responsibly, or better yet not at all. Tip your bartenders and support independent music! Once again, I do not have a play list...

Here it is the official St. Patrick's Day Paddy Rockers. Truth be told I wasn't going to do one this year. Iam not trying to pander for sympathy, but on Feb 25 my mother passed from cancer. It's not been easy to deal with, and even harder being an only child doing it on your own. Though one thing about my mom was she was fiery! She'd never let me mope or feel sorry for myself. So while it was a st...

Happy St. Patrick's Day Paddy Rockers. When I moved the site and archived all the shows some concerned listeners reached out and wanted to make sure the the St. Poguetrick's Day episode would be dusted off. Well what the Heck I can't fault good logic, a proper request or the Pogues so here it is! Sorry but I lost the playlist, but it's The Pogues, who the Hell needs one !?!?! Don forget to Listen...

Well it's St. Patrick's Day month and its one I will never forget. March this year saw my world fall mostly apart. Started with the death of my mum and the aftermath that ensued. It's been a hard one to turn around, but music helps.  But unfortunately St. Patrick's Day this year has taken another hit.  I will do what I can, but it won't be all that I want. Hopefully given a year, things can turn a...

For years Paddy Rock hosted only Celtic Punk because there was nowhere for it to be heard. ONce that scene began to dry up I looked to expand Paddy Rock's offerings in order to survive. So I began including Punk and Oi!...  Not only does it fit well, but there is also very few spaces for it to be heard. So embrace it, turn it up and don't forget to Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 om EST and check...

This week I laid a bunch of new and newer tunes from across the boards. Some of my favorites bands, some newer bands to me and some standards. So settle in and get ready for some great tunes over the next 2 hours. Don't forget to Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 om EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm at www. BootBoyRadio.net . Turn it up loud and and as always tha...

So while I love 80's punk, I really got my start in the 90's. Some of the first stuff I got into was Pennywise and NOFX, there was of course some shitty poppy stuff that ultimately commercialized the fuck out of punk, but that's beef for someone else to chew on. So today's show we have a fat slab of 90's tunes and a sprinkling of everything in between. As always I hope you enjoy, this was another...

Well here we are 3 weeks into the New Year and you already have 2 killer shows to dig into! This week is pretty much straight up punk again. This is music like I remember it. Punk like I remember it when I was a youth. Coming from a small town in Canada my ideas were not always the sharpest, but music helped me. I remember going to Dr. Disc in Windsor Ontario and picking up copies of the Metro Tim...

Season 22, Episode #1  Well another year down the crapper some may say, and some day I might be apt to agree with them! But for all of its bullshit 2022 has been not a bad year for music, and for personal growth as well. Though I am not sad to see it in the rearview mirror despite it making me another year older. So before I introduce the show, welcome to the new site. I need to apply some spit an...

Season 21, Episode #5  So... we might be on Episode #4 or #5, but it doesn't matter! The important part is that there is a new show, finally! I can make excuses but the bottom line is I am just a lazy fucker. Regardless today's show is a real banger. I figured being that Lion's Law was about to tour the US, and there are a lot of killer supporting bands so I figured this would make a good show.  A...

Season 21, Episode #3  Well I am back without a 6 month wait! The response to the expanded Paddy Rock pallet has been nothing short of brilliant. Seems Oi! transcends Celtic Punk extremely well, I suspect it is that blue collar, working class values they both share. This is a great thing because I have been playing a lot of it and this week is 2 hours or Punk Rock, Street Punk, Oi! bangers! This s...

Season 21, Episode #3  So its been a hot minute since I've posted a new show, sorry.  There has been school, kids, shows blah blah blah...  Anyway, if you are a fan then you've been listening live so you haven't missed a thing. While I have been doing alot of Punk and Oi!, this show it all Celtic tune, so enjoy! If you want to I am live Thursday from 9 - 11 om EST on www. BootBoyRadio.net . If you...

Season 21, Episode #2  Am calling this show the late bloomer I have had it uploaded and ready for weeks, maybe months now! And it's a real banger, just you wait. The thing is school is so busy presently and I am so close to the end I dare not take my foot off the gas. Anyone who knows me can tell you I am very obsessed with kicking ass and doing my best, such a paradigm from when i was younger. An...

Season 21, Episode #1 As we kick 2021's ass out the door now is the time to have a look at some of the great Celtic Punk & Rock the year brought  us. Its not as much as previous years, but there was a good bit! Though for the amount we got it was still a strange year, presumably due to 2 years of Covid, Lockdowns, cancelled shows and social distancing, bands just don't really have the funds to pro...

Season 20, Episode #11 Well October is here and my birthday has come and gone once again, still not a fan but they get less painful because I care less. One thing is for sure though, the older I get the harder I try to hang onto the things I loved in my youth. One of those things is music! I walked so many paths I have forgot more music than most people will ever know. That is the reason for this...

Season 20, Episode #9 FINALLY - Its been a busy summer and I have only been doing the live shows.  But don't let the title fool you, no script is used ever here at Paddy Rock. That is if you can't tell by the incoherent ramblings sighs and grumbles...  And don't forget the mistakes.  Its part of what Paddy Rock real! What I have done is started back to school and my Tuesday nights are filled with...

Season 20, Episode #8 has arrive, #8 is just around the corner. Sorry these have been taking their time in arriving but if you were tuning into the live shows this would not be a problem  :) Today's show is a nice mix of some kick arse Celtic tunes and a handful of some Street Punk, including a couple few songs for the football fans out there! Don't forget to tune in live Tuesday and Thursday from...
