NO WORDS NEEDED.  CMI AND VIGILANTE THIS FRI NOV 1st. New Vigilante song on the beginning, Adam chimes in on the back half. 

Richie is a cool ass hc dude who plays mad riffs, loves youtube demos and books shows (Oxygen Tank Booking)

Saffron does vocals in Slice, a sick ass band from Ohio who gets 100% Detroit HC love as well.  She can also probably kick your ass.

Been a long time coming getting Jeremy on the podcast! He's been around for quite a while and used to front a band called Fight it Out. Moral Pollution is filled with talented musicians that have been in many Michigan hardcore bands. I can't list them here because there is a contest where if you can name 7 of the bands first you'll get a free pair of tickets to the black xmas show Dec 30th.

Absolute fun episode to do with the NJHC giant, James STIKMAN of Fury of Five. At this point, if you're in to hardcore and you dont know who FOF is, you might as well turn around and leave. Jokes aside, they are heavy as fuck and bring their own style to hardcore that is untouchable and irreplaceable. One of a kind, and very unique in my opinion, 

Check em out this Weekend in the Midwest.

Friday in Detroit 11/3 at The Sanctuary

Saturday in Chicago 11/4 at The Cobra Lounge

Sunday in Cleveland 11/5 at No Class.

https://deadhang.bandcamp.com/

Long time friends dusting off to bring you a sick throwback style of a heavy hardcore. So glad this band exists and if you like them, you can support them on almost any platform. Just listen and share their shit! That's all we ever ask for!

Young bucks from Philly keeping it real and keeping it HARDCORE. They support you, so you go support them!!

This is a bit different of an episode. I love the idea of having the whole band on to introduce them and we get to hear a small portion of their history in Detroit and how this amalgamation of Cold as Life came to fruition. 

Ramona (Black Iris Booking) has been booking shows in Detroit and all over the place for over 2 decades at this point. She has a looong resume of top tier bands today that were just getting their foot in the door when she was their agent. She's done so much over the years and because it's not on stage or the internet, promoter most of the time do not get the credit they deserve. 

Also big shoutouts to Jimmy and Curtis from The Crofoot and Edgemen printing. aka Tied Down boys. Also, all the bands involved get mad love for representing and celebrating with us in Detroit!

I hope you guys enjoy this episode and get to know the band a little bit before we're tearing each others heads off next Saturday!! Enjoy 

This is another mileston episode and huge honor for me. Obviously you know who Freddy Madball is so just dig in and hope you enjoy it! 

Catch Madball playing Oct 7th in Detroit with Cold as Life and plenty of other heavy hitters. So blesssed,

Ohhh shit! I don't even need to say anything on this about Aaron. If you don't know Death Threat. stop what you're doing and go play them Until Oct 7th.

Here we are. Cant believe this years Tied Down has came and gone already! The hype was amazing and it was all that we could have asked for as far as I'm concerned.  Shout out and a big thanks of course to Curtis and Jimmy and the whole team involved. It was great to see the tweaks made from last year and how they turned the volume way up to reach this potential. Can't wait to see what's in store for next year!

This was a great episode. We talked hardcore, violence, martial arts, and had a great time. One of the best conversations I've had yet!

I have Bill on today to talk about his upcoming Hardcore Cares benefit show that he has been putting on for years donating to different organizations and charities. This year his choice of charity is to the Lupus Foundation of Michigan. His had a hand in picking it because she is dealing with Lupus herself. There's no cure for it and you can learn about it in the podcast! 

We also dive in to addiction and recovery because thats also a big part of his life as recovering alcoholic. If you yourself need help or know anyone - You always have people to talk to. Were here for you. 

He cares so much about hardcore and the culture itself. He's been around for ages and has seen it all! 

Doubt It! Bandcamp below

https://doubtitrocks.bandcamp.com/album/demon-dance

This one needs no explanation. Fun lovin cool ass dudes John and Adrian from the coolest up and coming Detroit Hardcore band Doubt It swing through to have some laughs and talk about The Bands Future plans but most of it is just talking about good times and acting stupid.

Wouldn't have it any other way! Lots of cool things happening with them in 2023 and I'd love to have em back anytime! Was a great conversation so dont fuckin doubt it! 

https://dayzlost.bandcamp.com/

Back at it once again! Definitely a great episode to listen to if you dig either of those bands. And if you havent listened to Dayz Lost, click the link above and get to it! 

You can live vicariously throug me as I lay out the entire trip to NYC for the Triple B/Daze/SOH Showcase. Great times! 

The title says it all! 

Just some thoughts/shoutouts and q&a

Not much involved in this. Just thanks and appreciation and ranting about hardcore! 

This is one for the books! Been a long time in the making and I'm glad Beast took the time to stop by and talk about his time in the Detroit hardcore scene and everything H8 has done as a band. I could've talked for another 2 hours about H8 INC and everything that has gone on in Detroit since the 80s. Hopefully we can make it happen again! Amazing conversation and I hope yall like it too.

Nick Kucway is very well known in the hardcore scene, espeically in Detroit. He has been around a very long time with a long resume of notable bands such as Freedom, and Retribution. Currently fronting the band Fantasy World that has worked with Collyde records. I'll post the bandcamp link up above! He is also an artist and does album art and band logos, Very creative and talented guy all around and I couldn't have asked for a greater guest.

Poison Tongues is back! Schmo and Mike are fun dudes and we thought it would be great to have to come back on and just talk some shit talk about plans with the  band. They have a show coming up August 19th at Smalls Bar with Aztek the Barfly, Illmatic and Mass Death! Poison Tongues is underrated for their talent and I hope more of you will check em out live! 

Gridiron BABY!

We kept it nice and tight! Talked about Sound and Fury, TIHC, Hardcore (obviously). Chatted about Philly and Detroit shit. Fun and cool conversation that we had. I can't thank you guys enough for checking it out and supporting! You can find Gridiron music anywhere you look for music so get on it!

The title speaks for itself on this one! I can't thank these guys enough for taking the time out of their busy schedule to come by and bullshit for a little while. We talk a little DOW history and Detroit Hardcore most of the time. Hear some funny stories from back in the 90s involving Rawn Beauty and the Cold as Life guy. A good trip down memory lane if you were there during that period. 

https://highalertmi.bandcamp.com/music

https://loosecannonmi.bandcamp.com/music

This one is mostly for the home team! Marcos has always been solid to me and a homie to most. This conversation was exactly how I was hoping it would go. Just a pretty cool chill session just talking shit about hardcore and sharing memories. I wouldn't have had it any other way but I hope you guys can check out both of his bands High Alert and Loose Cannon. Loose Cannon has a show this upcoming Saturday in Grand Rapids and High Alert is doing a comeback/reunion/picking up where they left off show on August 20th at Parts and Labor in a Melvindale.

Hi, thanks for checking out this exclusive announcement podcast with Upstate Records newest band, Detroits own, ILLMATIC!

Yes, you read that right! Finally, the one and only Scott Vogel. Everyone knows the name and what he's about. Even though hardcore guys are easy going and down to earth, this is obviously a big one. 

I am happy he took the time out of his first day on the road promoting his new album with Terror called Pain into Power. We squeezed a lot in during the 40 minutes we had. He is a chill ass dude and so happy they are back on the road, doing what they do best! Check out their new album. It's streaming eveywhere, and you can buy a bunch of new cool ass merch!

Guerilla Pizza Instagram

https://www.instagram.com/guerrillapizzadtlv/

This episode was with my long time friend Robbie. He owns a pizza restaurant in Las Vegas called Guerilla Pizza and he's killing it! I met him from mutual friends at hardcore shows of course. He has a fascinating story about how he became a successful entrepreneur in the pizza industry and I'm glad I was able to spend sometime with him on his short and busy trip back to Michigan for the Easter holiday and his Birthday. We barely even covered hardcore if at all to be honest.

Obviously if you are or will be in the Las Vegas area, you need to check out his spot! It is inside the Hard Hat Lounge right outside of the Las Vegas strip.  Best Detroit Style out there! 

I have had Martin on my list of people to have a conversation with ever since I started writing things down well over a year ago preparing for this adventure. I am glad to finally sit and just talk some shit with him about his past bands and obciously what it's like being in a few of the biggest hardcore bands today.

 It takes a lot of time and effort to be touring and practically playing full time with all of the bands he's in. I don't think he goes overlooked as an artist but I still don't know if he gets all the credit that he fully deserves. I'm proud to have talked with him and it's an honor to be able to take time and get to talk to the people that have been a part of my life for the past 17+ years. 

 Please give it a listen and share if you have the time! 

Retribution Bandcamp for those who want check out or remember Retributionhttps://losttimerecords.bandcamp.com/album/consumed

The title says it all! If you remember Retribution or have been to any Detroit Hardcore show in the past 22 years or so, you have bumped in to him or have for sure moshed next to him!

Kenny is the nicest dude and good to anyone he comes across. AS FAR AS I KNOW! He could be hiding a grumpy old man side to him but I highly doubt it! Listen to this podcast see for yourself! Kenny and I talked about doing a sort of round table discussion with other people in the scene, which I think would be awesome. He knows everyone and has plenty to say and I am looking forward to sitting with him in the future! Thanks for listening and please share!

D BLOC MOTHERFUCKER

TIED DOWN MOTHERFUCKER

https://floridafrank.bigcartel.com/products

This is a big one boys and girls! Theres some people in the hardcore and metal scene that have rose above everyone else. Frank has been in plenty of staple hardcore bands the past 3+ decades and has earned his stripes. He is now the rhythm guitarist in the infamous Hatebreed! Crazy to think but it was interesting to learn how he ended up playing for them. Great stories and fun times were talked about! I loved chatting with him about everything. Also he has his own hot sauce but is currently out. You can also support him by going to his big cartel and checking out his line of guitar picks! Catch Hatebreed on tour this summer all over the place!

This one was a long time in the making! If you know Jim or Justin you know this was a comeplete and amazing fun time it was. Unfortunately to other circumstances the other members were not able to join in on the nonsense. We talked quite a bit about the evolution of the band and just all around partying and stories from the boys. 

I'm not gonna lie, things got pretty toasty towards the end but to be honest, these are the most fun podscasts to do. Let loose and get silly! The only thing I ask is that you check out the new PT album at the link above and come and support them when they play shows! These veterans will rip your tits off and drink beer out of em!

https://www.upstaterecordsny.com/smash-your-enemies

I know it's been 2 months!!! 

All good though! This time I had 2 of my homies on from Detroits own Smash Your Enemies. What a kick ass band! These dudes have been putting work into the Detroit music scene for decades. Jesse has been going to shows and in bands since the late 90s and has always been active. Brandon started SYE back in 2009 and has had its ups and down times throughout the years. Was once on Eulogy records and they are putting out their 4th album on March 4th 2022. You can pre order it on Upstate Records and also hear one of the new songs on Upstates bandcamp up above. 

Thank you to all who have followed along over the past year and that has supported and shared! I look forward to doing more and spending time with people who love this shit as much as we do!!!!
