Matt is joined by our old bud Jerik from Hands to talk our favorite Metal Movie--A Year in the Half in the Life of Metallica--and think about what it was like growing up learning guitar in the 90s. Some tour memories, some film #analysis, bad words and jokes. Oh and most importantly, an introduction to Jerik's new musical project all about #gravy.

Matt is joined by Chris from Fallstar, a band that AHFH has known since 2006 and who, most likely, played every single local show with us until about 2010. We chat the history of the band, do a deep dive on a few records, drop some PDX scene trivia, and finally talk about the single from their new record, Sunbreather, which drops February 12th on Facedown Records.

Matt, Tanner, Dan, and Lance talk about our Facedown Records debut, Realis. Some fun tidbits:

• possible Vinyl news?
• Alex Trebek RIP
• Eric underwear stories
• more complaining about 5150s

Matt, Dan, Tanner, Nathan, and Eric listen to our second album, The Everlasting Man (2009, Strike First Records) and remember the old days. Song breakdown, gear info, tour memories, and a long lost search for this guy who once covered Affliction on his bass on YouTube who we are desperate to reconnect with. If you're out there find us. Please.

The pod returns with Matt talking with our old friend Josh Wing, formerly of Portland post-metal powerhouse Sól. We talk both our bands early days, Doom/Black metal, and metal's imbrication with politics.

Matt and Tanner talk with our old friend Shane from Hands/Everything In Slow Motion. Tour memories, EISM's new record, this weird guy Josh, and what it was like being a band with delay pedals in the Christian metalcore scene in 2009. 

Matt and Tanner talk about the past ten years of time off from the band, including tour memories, worst shows, racist cops, and some music we've been listening to.
