The Bakers Punk Podcast

Ep..126/ Tell Me It’s Australia Day, Without Telling Me It’s Australia Day.

The Bakers Punk Podcast has made some changes this year. We start off with and question, is this song AI or Not? We have our weekly catchup and Watto talks about his Australia day antics and The Baker talks about his very eventful weekend at the @frothandfuryfestivial in Perth. Seeing bands such as @Crosscheck @zuko @Frenzalrhomb @bodysnatcher @Lagwagon @Inheartswake and more..
Not only was it an amazing, well run festival there is more to the day when The Baker went head to head with a Kangaroo, yep..my car is a mess and unfortunately the Kangaroo is now left to nature but the main thing is, my son and I are ok. This week we review a cracking album for the band @flagonfire called “Butal And Composed” They are a five-piece Rock/Skate-Punk band hailing from Jacksonville, Florida. This album is sick! While The Baker would pretty much just say every song is sick, Watto, being the musician gets technical and says what the Baker is thinking but the Baker doesn’t have the words to explain..lol…It’s a really good album!! We of course, still have @peerecords Weekly and this week Pete has sent us the Split EP,
@HackTheMainframe V @TrashedAgain. Two great bands and we plug the first song on the split, Roundabouts..banger!

EP...125/ Top Ten Albums Of 2025

WE ARE BACK..
After abit of a break we thought we better start our first 2026 show with a run through both of our Top Ten Albums of 2025.
We kick the episode off with a big catchup about our time away, Christmas, New Years, Weddings, Poo Games, etc etc and then we get into our lists.
This year Watto and The Baker only have two clashes in our top ten which is why we fit so well, we both like alot of the same but also alot of different genres within the genre (what's a genre anyway)
It was such a hard year with so many amazing albums in 2025 but in the end it's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Wattos album of the year is @recordtheives and their album "Tragic Company"
His other 9 on the list are @Actionadventure @Sticktoyuorguns @fakenews @splitcast @heathcliff @dropitfirst @blister @ohseedemons @jokersrepubllic
 
The Baker has @allthewastedyear at number with their album "Minor Inconveniences"
His other 9 on the list are @jokersrepublic @codeaxe @recordtheives @bridgethegap @thecreaserule @pridebowl @nerdlinger @ohthehumanity @falsereality
 
With so many other bands getting honorable mentions this is a great run down of 2025.
Enjoy!

Ep...119 Lee Byatt/ Hike The Peak

This week we catch up with our good friend Lee from @hikethepeak for his third visit to The Bakers Punk Podcast
If you are unsure about who Hike The Peek is, then I'll give you a quick rundown.
Lee sends his songs out to willing vocalists around the world to put their own lyrics and vocals to Lee's music..just like that..ha
We have always been blowin away by what Hike The Peek has released but it just keeps getting better!
From what was a covid project, has now got serious wheels and Lee has been lucky enough so far to be able to play these songs live with the some of people who wrote them not once, but twice.
Lee comes on this week to premier his next release called WATER...its the first time he has let them out of the bag early and Watto and I are pretty chuffed it's us!
One song is actually sung by the sexy guy across from me each week and a big part of the podcast, Mr Adam "Watto" Watson himself and a song called, 27 Seconds.
We go through the process of the whole thing and Lee ends up asking all the questions to Watto regarding the method of his writing/ recording.
We not only premier Watto's song but also Tom from @Darko song called SOWAISOPO...and they are both abosolute...bangers!
Along with other Hike The Peaks songs throughout this episode, it just 3 dude, touching tips and having a good time with great music!
Things we talk about...
Sick Watto, Locking Keys in cars, wedding Talk, Punk Rock Holiday, Wattos Track, lee on Tom's Track, NZ Haka, Sport, Political stuff, Festivals, Stand In Vocalists, Future Plans, Moments and a shit tone more....its a Banger...Enjoy!
