On this episode we welcome Greg Benoit back to the podcast. Him and I got the DeLorean up to 88.5 and we took a trip back to 2001. We discuss three classic Rochester Hardcore shows from that year that I was lucky enough to be a part of. We also talk about three local releases that came out that year as well as some national ones. As with most other episodes, we also touch on current events. Greg also talks about the struggle of being a parent during trying times. While there is no music on this episode, I will post a few links here that Greg and I discussed throughout the episode. The links are to the Rochester Hardcore SoundCloud, Classic Core Records, Hex Records bandcamp, and the Rochester Hardcore History Instagram.

One of the fun things about doing this podcast is getting to know people a little bit better. On this episode, I got a chance to get to know Joel Staniszewski. During our conversation, I realized I booked one of his bands almost 20 years ago and saw another several times. Joel is currently the vocalist of Las Vegas based hardcore band The End of Everything. Most people from Western New York are probably familiar with Joel's work as a drummer. This includes bands like Drago, Holy Angels, and Daybreak. We also discuss touring with From Autumn to Ashes and Atreyu, current events, Buffalo Hardcore, and gambling.

I have been friends with Nick Lemesis for 20 years. On this episode we discuss bands he played drums in (The Triumph, Thieves Auction, Borderline). We also share funny stories involving Rochester Hardcore, crazy things we have both seen over the years, and current events. Nick also shares an interesting story of meeting Wu-Tang Clan. We had a constant theme of DIY business discussion throughout the episode.

On this episode we chat with Christopher Pogue. If you have been a part of Rochester Hardcore over the last 20 years, chances are you have seen one of Chris's bands. Him and I discuss the origins of the bands Heavy Hearted, Holy War, Forked Tongues, and Hangin Tuff. As usual, we also discuss current events and other topics relevant to fans of hardcore, as well as Huey Lewis and the News.

On this episode I talk with Daryl Taberski. We talk about Snapcase, Buffalo Hardcore, as well as a few other topics. The conversation mainly centers around Snapcase. We talk about each album, touring, Victory Records, and plenty of other subjects related to Snapcase.

On this episode Rob Antonucci turns the tables on me and interviews me. This episode is a good chance for everyone to get to know more about my background with Enterprise Hardcore. Rob and I dive into The Right Path Fanzine, Blatherskyte/Enterprise Records, Enterprise Booking, and a few other things related to those topics.

Finally a new episode of Enterprise Hardcore Podcast! This features a lengthy conversation with my good friend Ben Keefe. This episode was special to me because Ben and I got into hardcore and punk in 8th grade together in 1994. So this was a very fun trip down memory lane for me. In addition to finding hardcore around the same time as me, Ben also sang for the band Project Grizzly. Before that, him and I played in a few bands locally that aren't really worth mentioning outside of this podcast.

On this episode we dive deep into Ryan Canavan's history in hardcore and punk. Known as Ryan Hex to many due to his record label, we discuss this as well as the three bands he has fronted, fanzines, current events, Syracuse, Portland, and so much more. One thing to note with this episode is that the interview was conducted about four weeks prior to the episode being released.

On this episode we talk with Jay Galvin about some of the bands he has been in over the last 30-35 years. His catalog includes 25 bands so we tried to stick with the bands that would be relevant with this podcast. Some of these bands include Pure Heel, Slugfest, Pissing Match, Face The Panic, and plenty more. We also discuss current events, being left handed, wrestling, and plenty more in this near 3 hour episode.

Kevin Wilcox has been the vocalist for a handful of noteworthy bands in the last 25 years. These bands include The Dents, Warsquad, UV Rays, as well as his newer band Suburban Resistance. On this lengthy episode we talk about his bands, growing up in our local hardcore punk scene, Las Vegas, current events, Rob Filardo, and plenty more.
