About this listen

 It took a while, but like the last bus home on a freezing winter night it got here in the end. Behold the arrival of the Fierce Panda Records podcast, aka Birth. School. ROCK! Death. In each episode an alternative guest joins label boss Simon Williams on the SO sofa to chew through the pawful of hopefully-not-awful songs which have defined their life and career.

    It’s time to launch our second live Birth. School. ROCK! Death. podcast, recorded in the Tonic Music Lounge at Shiiine On in Minehead. Joining fierce panda’s Simon Williams is Inspiral Carpets’ organ-groover Clint Boon. As they prepare for a new (re)lease of life on Scruff of the Neck records Clint talks us through the joys of ‘Fireball XL5’, the power of the Pistols, the meaning behind ‘This Is How It Feels’ and performing knee slides across the dancefloor while DJing at Simon Panda’s wedding. Good times, all the time.

    Dec 19 2025
    And so this is Crispmas, and what have we done? We’ve only bloomin’ well recorded a festive edition of the mighty Birth. School. ROCK! Death podcast, that’s all. Joining fierce panda’s Simon Williams this time around is Father Crispmas himself, aka Del Currie, head honcho of the Spudos crisp emporium - think salt’n’shake on steroids. And then hop on board the magic Yuletide bus as Del and Simon trade the Crispmas songs which have soundtracked their lives as well as carefully detailing the crisp fads, fashions and flavours which have followed them through the Birth. School. ROCK! Death. doorway. Del used to send fierce panda his demos in the ‘90s, and fierce panda never responded.
