Each episode of Pop Rocks Radio is your weirdo mixtape from the margins — built to get you excited about these artists and support their work. Like what you hear? Go buy the music and show the love! If you’d like to support this show, you can buy us a coffee on Ko-fi — or send some sats if you’re listening on Fountain, Podverse, or TrueFans. Every boost, comment, or coffee helps keep the mixtape spinning! We also dig deeper on our YouTube channel , where we spotlight favorite bands, uncover long-lost treasures, and celebrate all things catchy.

If you’ve ever fallen in love with a band no one else seems to remember, this movie (and this episode) is for you. Also featuring music from Bacci Pouch , Tamar Berk , Geoff Palmer , Yee Loi , our featured artist, Stiv Bators , and more—and of course, no episode would be complete without a song by my favorite band, 20/20 . 🔗 Links: Bomp Records Big Stir Records Today's Tracks: bacci pouch - Running Around 20/20 - When The Sun Goes Down Yee Loi - Poor Girl Geoff Palmer - BYE BYE BABY Sloan - Live Forever Hard-Ons - What Would Stiv Bators Do Dead Boys - Flame Thrower Love Stiv Bators - It's Cold Outside Lords of the New Church - Livin' On Livin' Stiv Bators - Not That Way Anymore Barracudas - Middle Class Blues Nearly Skulls - Only In America The Possibilities - You Don't Mean It Marshall Crenshaw - Television Light Splitsville - A Glorious Lie The dB's - Amplifier (2024 Remaster) Cosmo Topper - For...
