Episode 82 Danny Schuler Part 2.
We pick up with our guest where we left off in Episode 68. If you haven't listened to that, please go back to that first.
Danny gives a great insight in the machine that made Biohazard a world known powerhouse in metal.
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat etc. There is alot to be said about his perspective and the humility he has for all he's accomplished. We speak on his new project Kings Never Die and we have some last few thoughts on Biohazard.
Be sure to check out Kings Never Die at This Is Hardcore Fest 2022.
They are playing Thursday July 7th, with H20, Sunami, Skarhead and alot more at Underground Arts as part of our TIHC Preshow!

Episode 81 Sean O'Donnell of Young Blood Records
Episode 81 Sean O'Donnell of Young Blood Records
Sean and Young Blood Records have done a lot to continue the legacy of excellent pure hardcore punk releases coming out of true DIY record labels.
The story of Sean and Young Blood records is both a blueprint and a walk down memory lane to the good ol days of the 90s and what it was like to start a label from scratch. There are alot of great stories and interesting tidbits and some simple how to's that are valuable and a fun to hear from the horse's mouth. Sean is an incredible example of great DIY ethics and a person's ability to balance home life while maintaining a small label. Hardcore is his passion and it comes through in his story.

Episode 75 Matt Karll
The King of Boyertown and future Hall of Fame Boytertowner Matt Karll returns to the show for the fully story. You may remember him from the Xmas Special or from his short run singing with Rock Bottom. Recently his new band GridIron went from Side Project to one of the most talked about bands in the last 2 years. On the Eve of their record release party for their lp "No Good At Goodbyes" I wanted to spend some time talking shit and breaking balls with my good friend.
