AXE TO GRIND PODCAST

Recognized as one of NYHC's most creative minds, Gavin Van Vlack's resume includes BURN, Absolution, Die 116, and his new band Canonized. You might also know him from his role in Physical Culture Collective. He's a Renaissance man working in the mediums of stringed instruments and fists. Dude is a primo storyteller, so there's something for everyone in this episode wether your thing is muay thai, noise rock, drag shows, beating nazis, or classic hardcore. It's best not to talk over a guy who could bend you into a pretzel, so we mostly stood out of the way and let Gavin go off.

With the death(?) of the B9Board and (possibly?) forums in general, it feels like the perfect time to talk the evolution of hardcore kids online. From newsgroups and BBS to the present and beyond. Eric Wilson joins us midway for a very fun, occasionally dark, retrospective.

RIP Steve Soto. New music talk. Mil-Spec; Code Orange; Converge; lots more. How much fanbase overlap is there between Drake and Trail of Lies? Do you need a cosign from someone 'cool' to succeed? Could anyone understand Soundcloud rap less than the hosts of this show? Text beef. Physical reality beef. Tangent city.
