100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Happy June! Today on the podcast we have the legendary vocalist of metal/hardcore heroes Ringworm, The Human Furnace (aka James Bulloch). We dive deep into why breaking up the band was the best thing they could have done, life as a tattoo artist and of course the Cleveland hardcore scene. Enjoy!

A huge band for me fresh into the metalcore scene, was Focal Point.

Please to present to you this rad discussion with Issac Hale from Knocked Loose and Inclination. Both of his bands are really, really good but Inclination specifically knocked my socks off since the release of their demo a few years ago and I had to have Issac on the show on the release of their new EP on Pure Noise Records. We discuss straight edge, context for hardcore and how important his parents were in building the local scene. Enjoy!

Post-rock. Just the name of this genere of music is soothing and I for one, love it. Trish plays in a band called The End of the Ocean that just recently released an extremely compelling LP and I had to have her on. We discuss the concept of playlisting (it's an extremely interesting and influential aspect of the music industry that doesn't get discussed very much), sexual identity and more. Trust me, even if you aren't familiar with the band you will like this discussion.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
