Episode 174. Easter brings alot of emotions up in me, so much loss over the last few weeks coupled with the ability to sit in a chair for a long period allows me to blow off steam and speak on the recent deceased and feelings regarding the scene at large

The New UnterWett Book is out! Collected Obsession , which is Ryan's 400 + vintage hardcore shirt collection on display with interviews from Eddie Leeway, Civ and others who added to the collection.

Episode 170 Tom Brose of Confront

After trying to dig in on the Chubby Fresh episode and not getting deep enough, we were pointed towards Tom Brose, who would eventually connect with and bring many of the great 80's Revelation Bands and more to the area. Confront was a band started by kids in high school and were invested in the straight edge bands that were growing in popularity. Having a direct line of traffic as a major stop for most touring bands, starting Confront gave Tom, Steve Murad (Mean Steve later of OLC) and others like Outface - Charlie Garriga of Civ, Derrick Green of Sepultura and later Tony Erba and Face Value ample opportunities to play with a host of out of town bands. We go deep in Cleveland hardcore from as early as Tom could recall and we walk our way up to the 1st Integrity 7" , which soon after Tom moved to DC.

Tom's story is a classic and his ability to recollect details from the past allows the story to fully develop in the conversation.

Episode 169 Mike Score of All Out War.

This is an episode I've long been waiting for. I really hope you enjoy it. Mike's time in hardcore gives us a great look at the earliest roots of metallic hardcore, metalcore etc. We talk alot about the formation of All Out War, the Hudson Valley Hardcore Scene and much more as the timeline goes.

We even delve into his career as a teacher and his family life.

I'm really happy with how much we covered.

Surprise hangout with Jay Ta Life, Jayway as we talk about surprise return of 25 Ta Life last weekend in NJ, as he is officially the new singer of 25 Ta Life.

Episode 168 Chubby Fresh

A rising star in 2 bands in the 90s hardcore scene after coming up alongside the greats of the youthcrew movement, Chubby, Integrity and One Life Crew were poised to take over hardcore in a big way with Integrity on the victory roster and One Life Crew a few years later. Controversy would turn the fortune into folly and the chaotic, dramatic story of the bands unravel with beefs spreading across the midwest to NY and back.

I try to delve into some aspects of the bands, Chubbys own background and hear his perspective on everything that went down.

Episode 166 Gavin of Ikaika & Still Proud Clothing

Gavin grew up in LaHaina Hawaii, which recently was in the world news for horrendous fire which destroyed alot of the area. He would later live in Florida where he found Hardcore, started bands, booked shows etc. He returned to Lahaina to start a family and his long term project Still Proud Clothing. He is now on the verge of a new project, Ikaika, which he started with his close friend Josh Couture of Exit Strategy. Tragically Josh passed suddenly and now Josh White of Florida Mind and State of Mind booking is memorializing Josh with a festival

in Ybor City, Fl November 8th and 9th.

We talk about growing up & finding hardcore, leaving the mainland and returning home and what the future for Gavin, Ikaika and Still Proud will be.
