This Is Hardcore Podcast
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 89. DIY = Making Things That You Want -Happen.
Sorry for being off last week. I go over the idea that DIY - Do It Yourself includes making shit happen in the way that you want to see things happen. I go over some thoughts on social media crap, but ultimately if you want to see cool things in Hardcore Punk happen, you have the ability and can make them happen. Don't wait for people to do it for you.

Episode 88 A Discussion on the PRO CORE movement.
Ace Stallings from Richmond VA, frontman of Mutually Assured Destruction, Promoter etc brought up some thoughts on twitter early this week about the drive in younger bands towards going full professional aka PROCORE and I invited him on the show to discuss the pitfalls of these decisions and how a DIY underground mindset is being sidestepped for an easy way up a ladder to nowhere.

Episode 87 Wyatt Oberholzer. Recording Wizard. Fixation / Chemical Fix
Episode 87 Wyatt Oberholzer. Recording Wizard. Fixation / Chemical Fix
Soon after Wyatt arrived in the city of Philadelphia to begin his recording engineer career by studying at Drexel University, he would abandon college and do the damn thing on his own. So many records have come from his hard work and nose to the grind and DIY approach.
On top of being the most prolific recording engineer in Philadelphia HC/Punk he is also able to find time to play bass in Chemical Fix and later joined Fixation on vocals.
In celebration of Fixations' The Secrets We Keep " Lp now out on War Records, we go deep on Wyatt's past, his thoughts and feelings on touring and the difference between singing in a band and playing bass and so much more.
