Greg Falchetto (The Mongoloids, Hold My Own)

New Jersey straight edge is in town this week on HardLore, where we're joined by The Mongoloids & Hold My Own vocalist Greg Falchetto.

We talk about The Mongoloids insane run in the 2000s, countless USA and European tours, their public inner-band dispute on the Bridge Nine messageboard, touring in the Senses Fail crew as a teenager, managing the stars of tomorrow in influencer management, starting Hold My Own during the pandemic and much more! Thanks to Greg for joining us. Mongo life.
