HardLore

When hard bands go soft... Today on HardLore we explore our favorite "soft" songs played by bands that are normally much harder. Not every ballad is soft and not every soft song is a ballad. We're here to fill the gaps and educate the HardLore listeners by expanding their musical palette, because we all know that the hardest thing a band can truly do is sing about their feelings or take a sonic risk.

Thumbnail photo by Reid Haithcock. Colin and Bo talked to Nate Newton from Converge, Cave In, Doomriders and MUCH MORE in-person in Manchester, UK, and as stated in the intro, Nate is true legend both personally and creatively in hardcore/punk, a pioneer at juggling multiple incredible bands and expertly filling multiple rolls in all of them and we can't wait to have him back on. We talk Converge's thoughts on Jane Doe when they finished the album, joining the band without knowing any of the songs, his first musical endeavors, causing a literal riot in 2002 and more. Converge is and has always been in a league of their own, as a band and as people. Thanks Nate for coming on and the band for rocking so hard.

While Bo is on tour with Harms Way and Colin is recovering from being possessed by the spirit of Ronald McDonald, we bring you this very special extended mini-HardLore from the vault with one of the great modern riffers of our time: The great Isaac Hale of Knocked Loose, Inclination and Weapon X. They talk bonding through the Cheescake Factory, touring with each other as strangers, being called industry plants and much, much more!
