North Carolina represent! Adam Morgan, the drummer of Hopesfall, is on the show this week to discuss the "secular" music scene, collecting vinyl and big budget records (aka I confirm/deny the story of "The Satellite Years" costing 20k to record).

This week is my friend Tommy Rogers from Between the Buried and Me making a RETURN appearance on the show. We get into a ton of different things including what it means to be a "working class" band, being a fan boy and being open to change. I love him and I love this discussion. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Fall and dive into this fun discussion with Patrick Miranda from Movements. We talk about growing up in Orange County, the birth of MySpace discovery and being a hardcore kid. He was forthcoming and open about all of the questions I hit him with, which in my mind...makes a great episode.

We have on the show this week, Shane Durgee who was the vocalist for the pre-Earth Crisis band called Framework. Often overlooked in the lore of Syracuse hardcore, I wanted to have Shane on to discuss what the early days of that scene was like. The episode also serves as a compendium to a previous episode that we did a few weeks ago with Scott Crouse from Earth Crisis about each of their full lengths. Shane and I get in depth with some fun EC stories and more.

Louisville, Kentucky in the house! I spoke to Brent Mills from Greyhaven this week on the pod about that very music scene he was raised in, drug use and the idea of being "competitive" in the music industry. Even if you've never heard the band, you will find a lot of enjoyment in this chat.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A bit of a different format this week but one that I think you will enjoy. I took a look at every full-length in Earth Crisis' catalog, brought the guitarist Scott Crouse onto the podcast and took a deep dive into the mentality of where the band was at, their process and other fun stories that surrounded each of the LP's. The result is what you hear and honestly, blew my mind. So many incredible stories and anecdotes were shared that even the super fan of Earth Crisis will have no idea about. I call it a "Self Audit" and I hope to do this more.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We have a two for the price of one podcast today! For the "main" part of the podcast, I have my old friend George Pettit on the show today. He's the vocalist for the now active Alexisonfire. We hopped on the phone one day (some dodgy cell service up in Canada) and discussed his life as a firefighter, being a reluctant frontman and the importance of obsession. Before that discussion, I have Dan Thomson from Sparrows on. They are a great hardcore band that deserves your attention.

I tend not to do repeat guests, but I will grant exceptions for certain circumstances and frankly this was one of them. Considering it's been 6 years since I checked in with my friend Brendan Murphy from Counterparts, it was about dang time. We discussed mental focus, expectations and aesthetics behind the band. It was a insightful and reflective chat on how he has changed and where things stand now.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
