John J. Ryan (Keep Flying)

This week, we’re delighted to be joined by John J. Ryan from the
unstoppable force that is Keep Flying. If you’ve seen them live,
you know exactly why they’re one of the most exciting and unique
bands in the punk scene right now—blending high-energy punk rock
with saxophones, trombones, and an unrelenting stage presence. We
first met the band at last year’s Four Chord Music Festival and
instantly hit it off,so it was a real treat to catch up with
John.


We chatted just ahead of the release of their powerful new album
Time and Tide, which dropped on April 24. John walks us through
the band’s journey, their DIY ethic, and what the rest of 2025
looks like for Keep Flying. Spoiler: they’re not slowing down.


Go spin Time and Tide now—available everywhere you get your
music.


With Nick away for the intro, Chris is joined by our good friends
Gary Yay and Ade Holder from UK punk rock favourites Phinius
Gage. We dive into some recent releases from The Ataris, Last
Night Saved My Life, Orchards, and Propagandhi.


We also have an exclusive first play of the new Phinius Gage
single “Masquerade,” out May 16. Ade and Gary give us all the
details on the song and what’s next for the band.
