The first episode of Season 2 of the Beats & Boots podcast is now live! This series dives deep into the world of Skinheads, Rude Boys, Skin Girls, and Punks — exploring the music, culture, and unity that shape these scenes, while pushing back against prejudice.
Season 2 kicks off with a name that needs no intro: Mike Longshot. From the raw streets of punk rock to the heartbeat of the skinhead scene, Mike walks us through the early days — discovering the subculture, strapping on a bass, crashing on floors, switching cities, starting bands, and eventually launching Longshot Music, a label that helped shape the sound of a generation. It’s more than a history lesson — it’s a deep dive into passion, DIY spirit, and a life lived loud.
