The 2023 HardLore Awards

Hardcore + Lore = HardLore. Chaotic stories from touring life in the hardcore/punk/metal scenes are discussed with notable weekly guests and hosts Colin Young (God's Hate) & Bo Lueders (Harms Way).

HardLore welcomes back one of the very first guests, Brody King of God's Hate and All Elite Wrestling to deliver his personal, experienced ranking of American Fast Food through the eyes of a professional wrestler who travels more than any band.

Even though food is the main topic, we still found a way to fill this episode with personal lore and shared experiences throughout our collective two decades of friendship.

100th Episode Q&A Special

This week in a very special episode, we are joined by SeeYouSpaceCowboy... vocalist Connie Sgarbossa live and in-person at HardLore HQ, for a highly anticipated instant classic episode of HardLore. 

We discuss Connie's path from Che Cafe volunteer to spinkicking screamo pioneer, the personal experience of her transition, her early bands and SeeYouSpaceCowboy's entire history thus far. An inspiring and relatable voyage of trailblazing, non-compromising self-discovery. 

Their new album Coup De Grace is out now via Pure Noise Records!

Connie Sgarbossa (SeeYouSpaceCowboy...)

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!
