100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Very excited to welcome back my friend, Scott Lee to the program. He's a music biz veteran and one of the founders of the recently re-launched, New England Metal and Hardcore Festival...which is why he is on today. We discuss why the festival is back, music industry musings and the intersection of metal and hardcore. I love his perspective and sweet nature as a human. I don't welcome many people back to the pod in short order, but Scott was an exception. Make sure to check out the stacked lineup of the festival and come out to hang!  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

In celebration of their impending "reunion" (since they have been doing shows off/on the past 10 or so years), I had to bring my friend Steven Andrew Miller from Unbroken on the podcast. This was a long time coming as we attempted to do this when he lived in California but now we get to dive deep into San Diego hardcore, legacy and happy accidents. Also, I finally get the answer to how much it cost to record "Life.Love.Regret" (spoiler alert, not very much). A great discussion so kick back and enjoy!  Year Of The Knife Donation Link Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

We are lucky to be bringing you not just ONE human from a band, but TWO this week. First up we have Jeff Irwin, the guitarist from long standing metal/hardcore heroes Will Haven. Then, to top it off we have Grady Avenell, the vocalist of the band. The love runs deep within the band and the fact they are releasing their SEVENTH full length is a testament to it. We discuss Sacramento hardcore, being a-political and life outside of the band.

Holy screamo episode! We have the dude behind bands like Loma Prieta and Jeromes Dream, Sean Leary. He plays guitar in both bands and has been in/around that particular scene for many years so I was happy to invite him on and pick his brain. We discuss what it's like being an only child, the amazingness of a band like Shotmaker and his career in photography.  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

In our final installment of the live episodes from the almighty LDB Fest, we finish off with a bang in the form of Mark from Fuming Mouth. A brutal band that will be a force to reckon with many years in the future. Mark was very open and honest about his battle with cancer, Merrimack Valley and so much more.

I don't think I have been more floored by a band in recent memory than I was with Chat Pile and their LP "God's Country" as it combined all of the elements of experimental metal/punk/hardcore in a perfect stew of discontent. Raygun Busch is the vocalist of the Oklahoma City band and we discussed his passion for film, his involvement in drama and debate in high school and supporting your local scene.

Live and in person, we have a top shelf discussion with two of the most exciting bands within the metalcore scene right now, Dying Wish & Foreign Hands.

Second up, I meet Jack & Tyler from Foreign Hands almost immediately after their set and we talk about Delaware, getting attention and of course, 90's metalcore.
