After another amazing weekend... it's time for the This Is Hardcore 2019 Wrap Up Report. The entire This Is Hardcore Team deserves their props. The time, work and passion these people have into putting on, in my opinion, the best Hardcore fest in the United States.

Comin' at you from "Wood Park" in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I sat down with two Brooklyn Originals. Graffiti writers, "Mega T2B" and "Score NSB" to talk graff. Where they got their inspiration to go out and put their names up in paint, where they got their names from, and everything in between. We discuss the always debated question, "is graffiti art?" We touch on the rules of graffiti, throw-ups go over tags, fill-ins go over throw-ups and so on. I had never met these guys before we met up to do this, and I'm glad I did. Good guys with a passion for graffiti. I hope you enjoy this. Respect.

I find myself back in "Waste Studios" in Queens. I was here on Episode 75 when I spoke to Johnny Waste, the founder and guitarist of Urban Waste... well now it's time for Josh Waste to tell his story. Having the torch passed to him to front the legendary NYHC band by original singer Kenny Ahrens (RIP), Josh has played a huge part in keeping the band together and consistently playing shows around the country. He has a great story lives for Punk and Hardcore. He had a smile on his face for this entire conversation. Great guy, great band and a great time doing this one. I hope you all enjoy this one. Respect.

The Homie, the Graffiti Legend... OJae FYC returns along with his long time friend and graffiti artist DEAR FYC. Stories about bombing in NYC when the city was grimy and nowhere near as pretty as it is now. How it was hitting the Manhattan Bridge for the first time with holes on the catwalk going all the way down to either the street or the water. These guys have a lot of both good and crazy memories that they share here. Definitely a good time. I hope you enjoy this. Respect.

"Mike Kruel". Mike had a very interesting run in the pro wrestling world. From different independents like Ohio Valley Wrestling where he was Heavyweight Champion to Florida Championship Wrestling eventually leading up to the WWE. This is for the wrestling fans, especially if you are a fan of the WWF in the 80's. His father wrestled as well under the name "The Bodyguard for Hire" whom we also speak about. Mike tells stories about meeting Vince Mcmahon, Captain Lou Albano, Jimmy Snuka and even Greg "The Hammer" Valentine staying over his house, wrestling Tito Santana and even wrestling Chris Benoit just a few months before the murder/suicide. Mike has an extremely interesting wrestling history. I hope you enjoy this very different episode. This was A LOT of fun to do.

His new record, The Disconnect, recently dropped so... go listen to Episode 111 of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast with everybody's favorite scumbag from Suffolk County... for the third time! Never a dull moment with the homie Diabolic that's for sure. I met up with him at the usual spot... "The Colony Bar" in Huntington Station, Long Island... well, it didn't last too long after some shenanigans went down. We shut it down and pick back up at another dive bar a mile or two down the street where we touch on what happened for a minute. As usual, we're all over the place in what's probably the most chaotic and unpredictable episode that I've done with him so far. His newest record, "The Disconnect" dropped as we were recording and we spoke about how he's going about this record and dropping multiple videos in a row. Strap in people, this is a strange one. Always a good time with this maniac. Respect.

He played guitar on the first Youth of Today record, he sang for the legendary Underdog and is the singer for Into Another. Richie Birkenhead has been around the hardcore scene for decades. I met him at his office which is about 2 blocks from Ground Zero. A very smart guy who, in his own words is, "just a middle aged man trying to navigate through life in a very strange time". We discuss his hardcore roots, his decision a long time ago to go vegan, and carry all the way up to "Into Another" playing this years "This is Hardcore" festival, which unfortunately they recently had to cancel due to an unforeseen medical condition. This gets a bit political but not too much. I happened to agree with the majority of what he says. Much respect and as always... thanks for the support and for listening. Enjoy.

Bonus Mini Episode - Dark Satellite Media. by Relatively Unscathed

"I Still Believe!" Recorded Live from The All Star Comic Con at the Sheraton Tyson's Hotel in Tyson's Corner, Virginia. Mostly known for his 12 seconds of screen time in "The Lost Boys", he toured with Tina Turner, Carly Simon and several others. He had cameo roles in Miami Vice as well. Ladies and Gentleman... everyone's favorite Saxophone player... Mr. Tim Cappello! He was cool enough to talk with me for a few minutes about a couple, two three things. I met him a couple times before and is always such a nice guy. The Sax Guy Rules. Enjoy.

You probably know him from the movie "The Warriors". He was the Warchief of the Orphans from the Tremont section of the Bronx. But he's so much more than that small, but iconic role. Apache Ramos invited me to his house in Flushing, Queens to do this podcast. His daughter (and manager), Jaz, and the rest of his family couldn't have been more hospitable or nicer. Jaz joins us during this episode as well. We take it all the way back to his childhood, being in plays out in California, how he got the role in "The Warriors", which in a lot of ways changed the course of his life. We discuss his career in the music business being an A&R for "Streetwise" Records. Touring with "New Edition" and the "Fat Boys" amongst a ton of other legendary musicians. He has been in several movies including the short film "High & Tight" which caught the attention of the Oscars. He's an extremely interesting man with amazing stories and an awesome attitude towards life and his family. I hope you enjoy this episode. I loved doing this one for sure! "We're Gonna Rain on you Warriors!" Respect.
