The Chronicles of On The Cinder | Mike Jacobs gets ’Heavy Handed’

Welcome to the One Hundred & Seventy Second Edition of The Chronicles Of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of On The Cinder

This week, we sit down with Mike Jacobs, the bassist of New York punk trio On The Cinder, for a deep dive into the band’s journey from playing in 13-piece ska collectives to their hard-hitting three-piece punk rock identity. Mike shares insights into their unique song writing process, the evolution of their sound, and the stories behind their latest 2024 album Heavy Handed. We also discuss the band’s first-ever UK tour this July, and Mike’s excitement about visiting the home of his beloved Newcastle FC & More.

Also this week, Tom makes a public apology to his partner Kelly, before diving into Storytime with Tom, where we learn all about Australian punk band Private Function and their new vinyl... infused with the scent of Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina?! Yep, you heard that right. Tom also questions the origins of the bizarre term "fly tipping" while Jamie reminisces about the odd way "chavs" walked in the early 2000s. The lads also catch up on their chaotic weeks.

As always, the episode features your favourite regular segments: Callum’s Teachings returns with another round of mind-bending thoughts including one about horse riding. Tom’s Journal delivers the funniest things he’s found online this week. In our Single of the Week, we showcase two brand-new tracks we think deserve your ears. Plus, Jamie’s Audience Participation Challenge gets everyone involved, asking you to share an embarrassing story that you can now laugh about.
