Hardcore music is easily a genre on the rise in the heavy music scene, and in pop culture as well. Alpha Wolf, Kublai Khan TX, and thrown have all made their mark in 2024 becoming mainstays in the heavy music scene. Knocked Loose is the largest band hardcore has ever had, and will not stop growing. So who is next for the genre?

How about and band that is releasing their first full album in 9 years? An album where each song has one element that changes itself up ever so slightly, to either make a good song great, or a great song extraordinary:? That band is here today.

Ringo from the San Jose hardcore band Mugshot is our guest on the podcast today. With a new album, All The Devils Are Here, coming out on June 20th, and be ready for something incredible in the hardcore realm. On this episode, join us as we talk about:

- Why it took Mugshot 9 years to release a new album, and how working with their trusted producer elevated every single song to be greater than their original idea.

- The album in its entirety, how each song has a small piece that enhances the song beyond the ordinary, and the early reception when playing them live for the fans.

- An idea for Mugshot to play shows in cities that rarely get hardcore shows, and why that just turn them into a major player in the heavy music scene by the end of 2025.

This is a fantastic episode to get ready to rage to. Hit that subscribe button with all the energy that you have.
