Hello Everybody!

Welcome to Episode 63 of Save It For The Breakdown!

In this episode Gjared and I had the privilege of speaking with Chaka Malik and Gavin Van Vlack of the legendary New York Hardcore band, Burn. They are currently on tour with Bane and Axis. Gjared and I caught the Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio shows.

This recording is done in two parts. We spoke with Chaka first and then Gavin. We were also recording this while Axis was doing a soundcheck, so please excuse the background noise.

I'd like to thank Gjared for his help putting this interview together, and of course, I want to thank Chaka and Gavin for taking the time to speak with us.

Thank you for listening. Enjoy the show.

Hello Everybody!

In this episode The Gersch and I had a great time laughing and talking with Jason Hamacher of Frodus, Battery, Regents, and a handful of other punk and hardcore bands.

Jason was in town giving a talk at The North Door about his experiences in pre-war Syria. You can go to Lost Origin Productions to view his photography and find out more information about the archival recordings that he produced as well.

This episode is all over the place. Jason came over and brought the funny. Jason was also able to get The Gersch to engage more than he normally would.

Welcome to Episode 59 of Save It For The Breakdown. I spoke with Mr. Ryan Taylor from Houston, Texas. Many of you may know him as Ryan Crowns. He's been in several Houston hardcore bands such as Ten Crowns, Hour Of The Wolf, The Burden, Titan Blood, and Thug Boots. He is also a part owner in a barbershop and record store. We talk about Houston hardcore and the upcoming fest Houston On The Map featuring Slapshot and Stars And Stripes.

Hello Everybody!!!

Welcome to Episode 58 of Save It For The Breakdown. I had a chance to speak with Riley Gale from the band Power Trip during Fun Fun Fun Fest X in Austin, Texas. It was a short interview, and there's a lot of background noise. Even though this episode is short, I had fun talking to Riley, and hopefully I'll have a chance to speak with Riley and the rest of Power Trip. Thanks for listening. Enjoy the episode.

Hello Everybody! Welcome to Episode 57 of Save It For The Breakdown!

Daniel Truth called me up and said that he wanted to record a podcast with me. I happily obliged. In this episode we talk about all of his current projects and the growth of the Houston hardcore scene.

As always thank you for listening. Enjoy the show.

Hello Everybody!

It's been a long time since I did one of these, so if you've been waiting for another episode, I really appreciate your patience.

This episode was recorded at the beginning of the month. It took me a while to get it uploaded because I got busy with my job, then once I was ready to upload it, my computer crashed. Life always gets in the way of uploading episodes.

Unfortunately, The Gersch was not able to be on this episode, but I did have the privilege of talking with one of the hardest working musicians in the Texas Hardcore scene, Mr Mike Fury!

As always you can find the playlist for the show at saveitforthebreakdown.com.

Thank you for listening.

Enjoy the show

I know that I always talk about this being a podcast that is all about Texas Punk and Hardcore, and I try to sit and talk with as many Texas bands as possible. However there are those times when a great touring band comes through, and I want to try to speak with those bands as well. Back in November I had the chance to speak with Sick Of It All and Kevin Seconds. This time around I had the privilege to speak with Mad Joe of Wisdom In Chains. This was a really fun interview. I hope that you all enjoy it. Thank you for listening. Enjoy the show.

Welcome to Episode 54 of Save It For The Breakdown!

This week The Gersch and I talk to Brian Chamblee of the hardcore bands For Want Of and Chest Pain. Brian also talks about booking house shows in Austin, Texas and the Austin Blood Alliance DIY.
