Steve Larson from Insted
We WILL make the difference! I bring on Steve Larson from the legendary hardcore band Insted on the show today. We discuss them signing to Epitaph Records (!), misconceptions the band encountered out on the road and them having a design aesthetic and being truly one of the earlier "merch bands" in the game. He was a great hang and hope you enjoy!

Alexander Jones from Undeath and Ryan Story from Gates to Hell
Live from New England Metal and Hardcore Festival we have two of the up and coming metal-hybrids joining up for a cool split 7" of a conversation!

Ezra Morris from Downpour, The Power and the Glory
There are hardcore scenes that I know we all become interested (or in my case) and obsessed with. The Atlanta hardcore scene always made me perk my head up because of the incredible bands and sense of camaraderie. All of this to say, I was happy to welcome my friend Ezra Morris of The Power & The Glory/Downpour onto the podcast as he came from that specific scene. We spend a lot of time discussing that time, his life working at record labels as well as working in media and where punk/hardcore has taken him. Let's go!

Joel Birch from The Amity Affliction
This episode is brought to you by the fine folks at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival that allowed me to have this chat face to face with none other than Joel Birch from The Amity Affliction. The vocalist for the long running Aussie metal core band sat down with me to have a fun yet very honest conversation about his bouts of homelessness, depression and not being a "fan". He's a very soft spoken dude that made for a great chat. Listen and learn!

Dave Mandel from Indecision Records
Celebrating its 30 years of existence, Indecision Records founder and head honcho Dave Mandel finally sits down with me to podcast. I had been bugging him for the last 7 years to turn this into a reality and finally, we did it. He's a pretty private and behind the scenes person, so I am very thankful I could hear about his life in and around music including his photography, his experience with an immigrant family, why the label still means so much to him and a LOT more. A must listen.

Winston McCall from Parkway Drive
So pumped to be sharing this conversation with one of the largest success stories in hardcore and something that I think still surprises him, we welcome Winston McCall from Parkway Drive to the podcast. We recorded this face to face at New England Metal and Hardcore festival and discussed being an "action sports hardcore band", their ability to change their sound over the years and their ability to function as humans after 20+ years of being in a band (I will give you a hint. It's therapy). Happy to share this discussion with you all!

Gina Gleason from Baroness
We have the pleasure of hanging out with the absolute shredder, Gina Gleason from Baroness today. She has such an interesting journey in music as she cut her teeth in the local Philly scene but then played for years with Cirque Du Soleli in Las Vegas playing over 200 shows a year!
