Bardown Breakdown

George Powell from The Limelight Podcast and Poeta joins us to chat about starting his podcast, TikTok, and all things Poeta ++ way more!

Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey and Tom talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 15 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are also diehard New York Islanders fans, but as we like to say we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!

Sometimes, we at Bardown like a band so much that we just have to have them on again. Chief State, Vancouver’s favorite fellows, are getting ready to share some new jams, so we figured we’d have our friend Nik Pang on again and talk about it. Nik gives us some insight about their new album, shares some specifics about their writing process, and the bummers about some of the big tours skipping Vancouver. We couldn’t let Nik go without chatting Canucks hockey, though, and we talk the heartbreaking loss in 2012, their keys to success moving forward, and the crown jewel of Orlando, Quinn Hughes. Come join us for a few laughs, and as always, lamentations about the Islanders ++ way more!

Today’s episode of Bardown might be a bit of a paradigm shift (hi, Mox!) for us, but sometimes, you just gotta go for it. We went for it, folks. We had the two time Impact World Champion and Impact Grand Slam Champion Eric Young on with us to talk a bit about his career in the ring, but he also gave us some of his favorites in his massive 1300 LP record collection, the influence he had on his incredible WWE theme music, his little party turned enormous hockey event featuring a ton of great players, and we talk about how hockey and alternative music, and even wrestling, exist in similar parallels with similar fandom! All that and more! Practice your collar and elbow tie ups! Let’s go!
