HardLore

We were joined at The Pit Recording Studio in Sunland, CA by Nitisart “Mike” Chaiburi and Kitti “Ole” Suwan of the great WHISPERS, all the way from Bangkok, Thailand.A truly unbelievable group of people both personally and musically, they’ve broken through every barrier imaginable through their undeniable spirit, infectiously unique and hard and passionate love for hardcore music.Being the first band from Bangkok to achieve so much of what they have achieved, we’re honored to talk to Whispers about their origin from local band in Bangkok who evolved into the definitive band that represents not only their city, but all of Thailand around the world. We can’t think of a better group or a better band for the job, and just five minutes of this conversation is all you’ll need to hear to understand why.______________________________________ Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef_____________________________________ Cool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comTry AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free 1-year supply of vitamin D and 5 travel packs of AG1.Get 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/___________________________________ FOLLOW WHISPERS:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/whispershc/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/whispershc FOLLOW MIKE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/mikelaw307/ FOLLOW OLE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/oletalifez/ FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE 00:00:00 - Start00:01:02 - Introduction00:02:20 - Finding Hardcore in Thailand00:08:25 - 555555555555500:10:19 - Their Many Many Vintage Stores00:12:15 - Friendships before Whispers00:13:33 - H8000 Bands00:15:45 - Finding European Hardcore00:18:17 - Activities Outside of Whispers00:20:13 - Mike’s Vocal Style00:21:19 - Whispers Through the Years00:24:34 - Bangkok During Covid00:26:00 - Relax Time00:27:57 - Stories With Stéphen Kickback00:31:02 - Pardon This Interruption00:33:40 - Meeting Gap00:37:01 - First Whispers Tour Ever00:39:00 - Asian Countries Played00:39:42 - Response To Whispers Across The World00:41:00 - Linking Up with Speed00:42:09 - Touring Europe00:43:16 - Yom Ma Lok00:47:24 - Flatspot Records00:48:15 - First US Tour00:51:00 - Future Aspirations for Whispers00:51:59 - Tied Down Fest00:53:41 - Tour Essentials (Hot Dogs)00:54:49 - US Food vs Thailand Food01:00:18 - Sound and Fury01:03:21 - Top 4 HC Records01:06:38 - Ghosts?01:10:45 - Patreon Q&A01:11:38 - Top 4 Thai HC01:12:38 - Greatest Breakdown Of All Time01:14:50 - Inspirations / Influences

HardLore is joined by close friend of the show and vocalist of the first ever band on the HardLore Records roster: Mac Miller (real name) of COSMIC JOKE. Fresh off of their brand new 12" EP "Forced Perspective", we hear all about their goal as a band to carry the torch for the classic style of California Hardcore Punk made famous by their influences (Bad Religion, Adolescents, Circle Jerks, etc...) and the long road as lifelong touring musicians and crew that got them there. From growing up at the Cobalt Cafe, connecting the dots between Ska and Hardcore, doing Warped Tour with The Sheds, finally playing Sound & Fury, transitioning into being a career merch guy for bands like Wallows, Death Cab, Denzel Curry and MUCH, much more.Pick up one of the last few copies of HardLore's exclusive color of Forced Perspective on our store while you still can: https://closedcasketactivities.com/products/cosmic-joke-forced-perspectiveEdited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)HardLore: A Knotfest SeriesJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggefCool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comGet 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/ FOLLOW COSMIC JOKE: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/cosmicjokelaTWITTER | https://twitter.com/cosmicjokelaFOLLOW MAC: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/macxmillerTWITTER | https://twitter.com/macxmillerFOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE00:00:00 - Start00:02:47 - Colin Meets Mac00:08:22 - Cosmic Joke Self Titled00:11:01 - Finally Playing Sound & Fury00:13:42 - Forced Perspective00:16:31 - Finding Punk, Hardcore, and Ska00:22:01 - First Show Ever00:23:20 - Young Morgan Miller00:26:37 - Feeding the Band With $500:27:40 - Clean House00:31:36 - First Tour00:34:41 - First time attending Warped Tour00:39:42 - PLAYING Warped Tour00:50:09 - Mediaskare00:53:40 - Top 4 Bald Guys00:59:20 - Tony Hawk01:03:17 - Attila Shirt...01:05:40 - Highs and Lows of doing Merch01:15:12 - Pardon This Interruption01:16:01 - Worst venue In the Country01:22:50 - Merch Cuts And How To Navigate Them01:30:20 - Merch Pet Peeves01:32:11 - Whats Hot?

HardLore is joined by COMBUST vocalist Andrew Vacante, the self proclaimed, but unopposed king of Staten Island hardcore fresh off of their highly acclaimed sophomore LP, "BELLY OF THE BEAST." Andrew finally joins us for a proper full length episode, documenting his origin from middle school heavy metal hesher singing in bands, to his early days DIY screenprinting in a basement, touring extensively in Vice (NY), the many bands that lead him to finally starting Combust, touring Europe (six times), forming his skills as a songwriter and breaking down their new record. This marks Andrew's 3rd formal appearance on HardLore but his first proper episode, we knew going in that would be a banger and he immediately delivered. Enjoy and listen to Combust!!! PS sorry to all the Sharks out there if you're listening.

The doctor is in, please take a seat.We're joined in person by hilarious and universally beloved friend of the show, the wickedly talented vocalist/guitarist of PITY SEX: Dr. Britty Drake.We go into great detail about Britty's expulsion from high school due to a (joke) violent threat on Myspace and the extensive aftermath, her upbringing from young Christian Metalcore fan experimenting with many haircuts in Lansing, MI to Indie Shoegaze pioneer extensively touring the country, taking a break from music to become a literal DOCTOR of the mind, balancing work and home life with her husband/bandmate Mike, playing live with Pity Sex in 2025 & beyond and much, much, more!A truly delightful episode with our great friend that we had as much fun recording as we did watching it back.

We proudly present our first ever comedian on HardLore, in person in Los Angeles: The great (almost legendary) Shapel Lacey! Lifelong hardcore punk listener, former cheerleading champion, and comedian on the rapid rise who proudly flies the flag for hardcore music every single time he hits the stage. We learn all about Shapel's origin from being a young Mesa, AZ hardcore kid at the Nile Underground discovering the wonders of Black Flag, to University of Louisville cheerleader trying comedy on a whim at an open mic night, touring with Bert Kreischer on a bus and then headlining rooms on his own, all the way to his finding his latest love of modern hardcore in 2020 and beyond.Shapel rules and we had an incredible time getting to know him in real time as this episode progressed, and we think you'll all enjoy it just as much as we did.HardLore: A Knotfest Series Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven)Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comGet your FREE glasses or sunglasses if you're in a touring band or work with one from SIGHT FOR SOUND: https://sightforsound.comGet 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/ FOLLOW SHAPEL:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/shapellacey/ FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe 00:00:00 - Hello Welcome00:00:57 - Introduction / Mills Vintage00:01:58 - Music or Comedy First?00:04:54 - Guitar/Bass00:06:46 - Black Flag00:09:58 - The Nile00:10:48 - Formative Local Hardcore Shows00:13:53 - Sight for Sound00:15:41 - Cheerleading00:17:32 - Henry Rollins and Stand up00:19:10 - DS-13 / That Weird Swedish Kazaa00:24:42 - The first open mic night...00:33:26 - First Stand Up Out of State00:42:06 - Ditching Cheer Practice00:45:09 - Comedians, Wrestlers and Bands00:50:51 - Bombing00:56:27 - Going Underground Recordss01:00:24 - Do You Feel like You've made It?01:01:17 - Shapel's Biggest Headline Set01:04:03 - Favorite Set of All Time01:05:44 - Walk Out Music01:07:06 - Top 4 Comedians01:13:12 - Parasocial Relationships01:16:20 - Reading Comments01:21:47 - Finding Top 4 Records01:30:23 - Favorite Tour01:33:21 - Life on the Road01:34:54 - Eatin' Good01:41:25 - Mad Peaceful #HARDLORE #HARDCORE
