TIHC Podcast
This Is Hardcore Podcast is inspired by the people and culture that make things possible. Interviews, stories and plenty of insight and inspiration in the do-ers, the makers and the people pushing the culture over the last 4 decades. There is an unbelievable amount of great DIY information being discussed and will be disseminated through these conversations, in hopes of instilling a hard work ethic in the new generations and a rekindling a connection to the old ways for the old school listeners.

Episode 64 Kevin Hare of Philly HC Shows
Episode 64. Kevin Hare of Philly HC Shows.
Kevin's love and dedication for hardcore knows no bounds, yet his impact isn't in bands he's been in etc, but in the long time support, the hours before and every show helping out and just being the ultimate champion of hardcore in the area in general. To celebrate his 35th Birthday, I wanted to have him back on the show and go deeper into his origins, finding hardcore and his general thoughts and feelings on things. He is one of my favorite people and someone who I rely on for so many things that without his help the many shows and fests would have a much different outcome.
His presence has made everything we do better and I appreciate him for being there always.

Episode 63. Carter Holmes of From Within Records & Payback/Off The Tracks.
I've been saying that he was a future podcast guest, and with FYA weekend upon us, no better time to bring him on.
His humble beginnings finding hardcore in one of southernmost hardcore scenes in the US is already a phenomenal story, but it goes beyond that. From venturing beyond his home of Mobile, AL to hitting the road and finding hardcore friends from Florida to the Northeast and beyond, it made a lasting impression on him. He would eventually begin his label From Within helping release his friends demo tape. From Within would go quickly from a small diy label to a force to be reckoned with, releasing some of the best up and coming bands of the last few years in hardcore as well as releasing 2 of the One Scene Unity Comps which have become the Call For Unity/ Where the Wild Things Are of the modern days. His spirit and love for hardcore shines on this interview and as a younger guy whose heart and soul is put into the music and the scene, I am glad to have finally had him on the show.

Episode 62 . Rob Lind of Blood For Blood and Ramallah.
Episode 62 . Rob Lind of Blood For Blood and Ramallah.
Happy New Year! Welcoming in 2022 with a conversation with a friend whose story as far as I'm concerned has yet to be told from his perspective and needs to be heard. Rob Lind is the creative force behind both Blood For Blood and Ramallah. We speak on the early days of his life, the origins of Blood For Blood and then we go deeper into the his personal life and his own dealings with the devil and coming to full sobriety. Rob is an amazing artist, with lightning fast wit and a razor sharp tongue who showed a side of himself that is not only a testament to who he is as a person to come full circle but also sheds new light over his career. This is easily my favorite conversation for the show to date.
I really hope you enjoy and please pass it on to others who may be in need of guidance or just to hear his story.

Episode 61 Tim Williams of Vision of Disorder.
Episode 61 Tim Williams of Vision of Disorder.
Tim Williams fronted one of the greatest hardcore punk bands of the 1990s. He brought an energy to the stage with a mix of ferocity and melody in his vocals. We talk on his introduction to music, his upbringing, the early days of Vision of Disorder. The thrill of the victories, the agonies of the defeat and dissolution of the band and the next project Bloodsimple. Tim gives us a deeper look into his own life and his sobriety and his new project Rollin' Coffin.
As a longtime fan of VOD, I was really excited about this conversation.

Episode 60 Brett Rasmussen of Ignite.
Brett from Ignite has an incredible story that starts in high school with picking up the bass and thinking it would just be something he did for fun during his high school years. Fast forward more then 30 years later and he is a professional musician in a band that has taken him all over the globe and continues to put out music and excite fans.
Brett lays down alot of information, insight and good advice on how to not only take chances and try things out but how to actively take your band's business serious while still maintaining a hands' on DIY approach.
We talk alot about the life of Ignite and its releases and members and even start the episode off with a new rendition of an old favorite with their new singer Eli Santana (of Holy Grail)
I've been a fan of ignite for over 25 years and I've worked with and been friends with Brett for a long time and this was a great conversation with alot to learn from.
