Alternative Colchester #6

Episode 6 of Alternative Colchester sees your hosts Steve Green and Tim Young back in their natural habitat — no guests, no frills, just two mates with strong opinions, a pile of classic punk singles and plenty to say. The football chat is as passionate and unfiltered as ever, with the latest Colchester United and Ipswich Town fortunes dissected in forensic detail alongside the customary "friendly" rivalry banter, delivered with the kind of impartiality you'd expect from this show, which is to say, none whatsoever. There's wider football chat too, covering whatever has caught Steve and Tim's eye across the game that week and with input from producer Luke, another tractor boy!! The music, as always, is absolutely on point, with a cracking selection of punk classics from 1976 to 1981 including tracks from The Unwanted, The Stiffs, The Vibrators, Chelsea, The Shapes and inevitably and gloriously, Stiff Little Fingers. Episode 6 is warm, funny, opinionated and completely unpretentious. Just two blokes who love their football clubs and their punk rock, doing what they do best.
