Today Nathan A. Moe of the bands IRAE and Suffer Through joins me on the podcast. We talk being in bands with members being all across the country. We get to the bottom, and identify the culprit of a Broken Nose at Take Hold Fest 2016, talk about the Maryland Hardcore scene. Also we dive into how Christcore exists in 2020 and how awesome it is that faith can still shine in a heavy aggressive underground scene like hardcore and metal.
