This episode of DTH? is the continuation of our sit down with Leo Mata & Hal Crossno to discuss the current state of DIY Punk and Hardcore. We touch on Friendster, what young people have to look forward to as hardcore kids, why young kids should tell old dudes to fuck themselves, a hot debate on Demo-Core, how I managed to go almost a decade without knowing about Ceremony, the Beastie Boys, my mom and GG Allin, Nate Powers at Summerfest, and another cameo by Parker Adler to wrap up our three hours of conversation.

This episode of DTH? is a sit down with Leo Mata & Hal Crossno to discuss the current state of DIY Punk and Hardcore. We touch on the hallmarks of why DIY in the midwest is different than elsewhere, religion in hardcore, and brainstorm some ideas on what could be done to make MKE DIY more accessible for young people and specifically young people of color.
