2023/12/13

What a treat we have for you this week in the form of Matt LaForge from the great Canadian hardcore band, Mil-Spec. They released an incredible LP this year entitled Marathon that knocked my socks off and I had to hunt him down (since the band is notoriously off of social media) and send a carrier pigeon to reach him. Fortunately, it worked and we hopped on a call to chat about all things related to the band including but not limited to the greater Southern Ontario hardcore scene, context and the

It's been a long time coming but I finally grabbed Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday for the podcast! I am thrilled to have this chat with the long running emo/rock band that I don't care who you are...you have absolutely heard "Cute Without The "E" and is now a mainstay at every "emo-night" ever. Adam hung out with me in his backyard and we discussed how influential Lifetime is, playing in unconventional places and his journey with addiction. It's a great chat and I even hold his feet to the

We WILL make the difference! I bring on Steve Larson from the legendary hardcore band Insted on the show today. We discuss them signing to Epitaph Records (!), misconceptions the band encountered out on the road and them having a design aesthetic and being truly one of the earlier "merch bands" in the game.

Live from New England Metal and Hardcore Festival we have two of the up and coming metal-hybrids joining up for a cool split 7" of a conversation! First up, we have Alex Jones (not to be confused with the bad Alex Jones) from Undeath discussing the bands ascent into an international touring machine and then we bring on Ryan Storey, the vocalist from Gates To Hell (around the 41 min mark).

Ezra Morris from Downpour, The Power and the Glory

2023/11/01

There are hardcore scenes that I know we all become interested (or in my case) and obsessed with. The Atlanta hardcore scene always made me perk my head up because of the incredible bands and sense of camaraderie. All of this to say, I was happy to welcome my friend Ezra Morris of The Power & The Glory/Downpour onto the podcast as he came from that specific scene. We spend a lot of time discussing that time, his life working at record labels as well as working in media and where punk/hardcore

This episode is brought to you by the fine folks at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival that allowed me to have this chat face to face with none other than Joel Birch from The Amity Affliction. The vocalist for the long running Aussie metal core band sat down with me to have a fun yet very honest conversation about his bouts of homelessness, depression and not being a "fan". He's a very soft spoken dude that made for a great chat. Listen and learn! Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast

Celebrating its 30 years of existence, Indecision Records founder and head honcho Dave Mandel finally sits down with me to podcast. I had been bugging him for the last 7 years to turn this into a reality and finally, we did it. He's a pretty private and behind the scenes person, so I am very thankful I could hear about his life in and around music including his photography, his experience with an immigrant family, why the label still means so much to him and a LOT more. A must listen. Listen to the

So pumped to be sharing this conversation with one of the largest success stories in hardcore and something that I think still surprises him, we welcome Winston McCall from Parkway Drive to the podcast. We recorded this face to face at New England Metal and Hardcore festival and discussed being an "action sports hardcore band", their ability to change their sound over the years and their ability to function as humans after 20+ years of being in a band (I will give you a hint. It's therapy). Happy to

We have the pleasure of hanging out with the absolute shredder, Gina Gleason from Baroness today.

The one, the only, Eugene Robinson is on the podcast today. For the uninitiated Eugene is the vocalist for long running artistic post-punk/metal/whatever band Oxbow as well as an author of many books including his upcoming memoir entitled A Walk Across Dirty Water. He's a really outspoken dude and has a long history within punk/hardcore so we peeled back the layers and got into why enjoys writing, sex clubs and how cool it is that he is on the back of the SSD record cover.

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TO THE PODCAST! It's wild to say, but this show has been around for 11 years and has changed my life but most importantly, I thank you the listener for caring about DIY culture, punk/hardcore/metal and everything in between...as long as it comes from small/sweaty rooms. Today is a special one because I get to chat with Nick Hexum from the legendary 311. While it may seem like this mainstream band has very little to do with our "scene" so to speak...their origins are rooted within

He's played in Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Paint It Black and his most recent project, Open City is about to drop their new LP on Get Better Records..needless to say, he's been in all of our collective ears for many years. Pull up a digital chair and listen to Dan and I talk about his academic life, intentions and his desire to never make a "living" off of music. So thankful for his time and hope you

My heart is in...well, you get it if you existed anywhere in the mid 2000's emo scene as Hawthorne Heights was INESCAPABLE during that time. I have the pleasure of hanging out with JT Woodruff from the band who plays guitar and is the lead singer. We have a very open and honest conversation about being corny adjacent (or sometimes, right on top of corny), playing late night shows and the legacy of the band as they enter their 20th year of playing together. JT is straight edge, loves hardcore and is
