JT Woodruff from Hawthorne Heights

2023/08/30

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

Elated to share this conversation with Christina Ward who is the Vice President of Feral House Publishing and an author.

An often overlooked person within our whole music industry structure is the promoter/booker and I love to highlight people that create the spaces for us to watch bands, have an experience and connect. Dave Castillo books for an essential venue in the NYC area called Saint Vitus that you most likely have heard of (or seen a show at). The venue is memorializing their first 12 years in business with an amazing hardcover book (funded via Kickstarter) by Nathanial Shannon. I had to have Dave on to talk

2023/07/19

In celebration of their impending "reunion" (since they have been doing shows off/on the past 10 or so years), I had to bring my friend Steven Andrew Miller from Unbroken on the podcast. This was a long time coming as we attempted to do this when he lived in California but now we get to dive deep into San Diego hardcore, legacy and happy accidents. Also, I finally get the answer to how much it cost to record "Life.Love.Regret" (spoiler alert, not very much). A great discussion so kick back and

I don't think I have been more floored by a band in recent memory than I was with Chat Pile and their LP "God's Country" as it combined all of the elements of experimental metal/punk/hardcore in a perfect stew of discontent. Raygun Busch is the vocalist of the Oklahoma City band and we discussed his passion for film, his involvement in drama and debate in high school and supporting your local scene.
