Welcome to the very first episode of Rock For Initiative, the podcast where people from the emo, punk, and alternative scene get geek out about the things they're passionate about. Each episode we sit down with a musician or creator from the scene to dig into everything from tabletop gaming to comics, wrestling to sci-fi, video games to anime, and yes, sometimes a little music talk too.
Kicking things off, we're joined by Mike Newman of Summerbruise for a conversation that spans two of his biggest passions: professional wrestling and Dungeons & Dragons. Mike breaks down the deep lore of wrestling's origins, walks us through his personal gauntlet of favorite wrestlers of all time, and gets into a fun round of "what D&D class would this emo band be," casting some familiar names from the scene into the world of tabletop RPGs.
Whether you're here for the wrestling history deep dive, the D&D class debates, or just want to hear one of the best emo artists in the scene today nerd out in a whole new way, this episode sets the tone for what Rock For Initiative is all about: music, people, and unfiltered geekery.
