Colin and Bo are joined by Detroit Hardcore legend/Cold as Life frontman Jeff Gunnels.
A true bucket list HardLore guest that we thought would never be possible, we discuss their era-defining classic album Born to Land Hard, his thoughts on music while he was in prison, how it feels getting ready for Cold as Life's return to the stage on October 7th, their misunderstood follow up album The Declination of Independence and much more.

Jeff is one of the most enigmatic and fascinating people to ever exist in hardcore music and we're honored to be able to share a small piece of his story. 

Cold as Life is BACK October 7th in Detroit, Michigan!!! Tix: https://www.ticketweb.com/event/cold-as-life-russell-industrial-center-tickets/13175078?pl=crofoot

Colin and Bo chat with Spencer Hazard, guitar player and founder of Full of Hell.
15 years and 31 records in, Spencer shares his and the band's story about how a small town Maryland band grinded (no pun intended) to the top of their field in extreme music.

An amazing insight into carving your own path in music, making art your own way and the belief in your own success.
Coagulated Bliss is out April 26th on Closed Casket Activities and Full of Hell is on tour RIGHT NOW!

Spencer Hazard (Full of Hell)

On June 28th, 2023, every band’s worst nightmare became reality for our good friends in Year of the Knife - they were involved in a horrific van accident while on tour, which put the band on hiatus and ultimately lead to vocalist MADISON WATKINS being in in critical condition, suffering major physical trauma, experiencing over a month of memory loss and fracturing nearly every bone in her body. 

After months and months of uncertainty, impossibly hard work on her end, triumph of her indomitable and incomparable human spirit, and endless support from her husband Brandon, her family, her doctors, the hardcore community and beyond. We are so grateful to say, our very good friend Madison Watkins is finally here as our very special guest.

Enjoy these two hours of triumph and insight into one of the strongest people we know.
