Well, hey everyone, welcome to this week's episode of The Vinyl Guide, the podcast for fans and

collectors of vinyl records. And this week on the show, we have Jake Burns of Stiff Little

Fingers. Stiff Little Fingers is a cornerstone in punk rock and man, what a story, originating

in Northern Ireland at a period of civil unrest, car bombs, and literally warring factions in the streets.

This is a time in history known as the Troubles, and it was within this environment that Jake formed stiff little fingers,

and they quickly became a voice speaking out against the war and inspiring bands like U2, Bad Religion, Green Day, and Heaps More.

Today we talked to Jake about what it was like to be in a band in Northern Ireland during the Troubles,

the impressive trajectory of Stiff Little Fingers, the collectible records in the Stiff Little F catalog,

and heaps more. Now, you could find out more about Stiff Little Fingers.slf.rocks. And if you're in Australia,
