Episode 130 Nancy Barile

E

Episode 130 Nancy Barile RIP Flippy Nancy Barile is an Philadelphia Hardcore Original. She wrote a book "I'm Not Holding Your Coat" on her path to punk rock and beyond featuring some of the iconic early moments of Philadelphia's burgeoning Hardcore scene. Our conversation goes alongside and beyond the book to Philly- centric and cultural happenings of the times. Her story is a great first hand account of the early days of what we would eventually inherit as our own scene. So many great stories that I'll leave her to tell it in the book and on here.

Episode 128 Anthony "CIV" Civorelli We take a dive into the life of Civ and his way to finding hardcore punk. A lot of laughs and great detail in the very early days before he even picked up the microphone with Gorilla Biscuits. Along the way we get into the new book that he has written, "A Roadie's Tale" which is based on his tour journal from the iconic Youth of Today tour through the US in 1988 supporting the seminal Break Down The Walls LP, both tour and and record would have a major cataclysmic impact on the US Hardcore scene and beyond. We had a short time to go over all of this and we are planning on having him back to go further along into the GB story and much more. www.instagram.com/civ_gb www.instagram.com/lotus_tattoo Buy his book www.tribalbooks.myshopify.com/products/a-roadies-tale-by-civ and go see Gorilla Biscuits at This Is Hardcore 2023 Opening Track of the Episode Worn " Entity and Form" off the Condensing Flesh 7" Pre Orders Available at www.fromwithinrecords.com Photo of Civ courtesy of Danielle Dombrowski

We talk of his childhood and its influences which would later come out in much of his music and art.

Episode 125 Some thoughts that come from greater minds than mine.

E

Episode 125 Some thoughts that come from greater minds than mine. With the summer comes everyone too busy to come on a podcast so I had been pulling together some ideas when Norman Brannon's relaunch of Anti-Matter as a substack spurned some real energy into my brain for the first time in awhile in a way that only someone like Norm and his words could inspire. For those of you who don't know what a substack is, its a way writers can offer their time and craft and be supported by those who wish to support them. www.antimatter.substack.com Follow and support the relaunch of one of the most pivotal zines of the 90's hardcore zines For most of episode I try to pull together some ideas from my library to engage you all to think further on the subject of hardcore and selling out etc, but I don't feel like I put it together tight enough. In time I'll get better at it, but it was fun to chat with you all for a bit.

Episode 123 AJ of Preserving Hardcore and FaceWreck

E

Episode 123 AJ of Preserving Hardcore and FaceWreck AJ has been a pivotal part of the Pittsburgh Area Hardcore scene for a long time before he was ever given credit for it. Continuing from the Ty Dawson episode last week, we learn even more about the western PAHC scene. Through the trials and tribulations, AJ has come to be at the center of all the best hardcore punk activity in his home area. Taking his distro to a brick and mortar record store, then renovating a church just outside Pittsburgh, PA to be a Record Store and Venue that has 2 separate rooms under the name Preserving Hardcore, he has come to be the King who built his own castle. His story is awesome and the fact that he still has time to perform with Facewreck just continues to show his dedication to the scene. www.instagram.com/facewreckrapcore www.twitter.com/facewreckPAHC www.instagram.com/preservinghardcore Year Of The Knife Go Fund Me www.gofundme.com/f/yotk-recovery-fund?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer Opening Track Of The Episode Outta Pocket " Wrong Hand" off Waste Of A Man The record is available now for pre-order on the Streets of Hate webstore, and will be released on July 7th 2023. www.streetsofhateny.bigcartel.com www.instagram.com/outtapocketca

Episode 121 Rob "Beto" Rosario of Dmize, 25 Ta Life, Madball and more

E

Episode 121 Rob "Beto" Rosario of Dmize, 25 Ta Life, Madball and more Beto's story is one for the history books in many ways. We walk with him as he puts the pieces together of how the small area of Queens would eventually produce so many important NYHC bands in just a small friend group, Dmize, Madball, Merauder just to name a few. He would over time end up playing in all 3 as well as playing/touring with 25 Ta Life when the band was at their peak. His story goes beyond his bands, to his family and the next generation of hardcore with his son Caiden Rosario of Reaching Out. Being friends with Beto and talking at shows for hours, I was hoping to finally get some of our conversations onto the podcast and I feel like this goes deep into his life from the very beginning, through his time spent building a name in the business world as well as raising a family with his wife Casey. www.instagram.com/myrage73 www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-kevin-bulldoze-help-his-family

Episode 117 Adam Easterling of Orthodox

E

Episode 117 Adam Easterling of Orthodox Hailing from the city of Music, Nashville Tennessee, Adam grew up surrounded by music and the music industry. We talk about being raised around christian music and how he would find hardcore and metal from that scene. He has been booking shows in Nashville and touring for over 10 years now. Orthodox is playing TIHC Friday August 4th. Orthodox plays very metallic straight edge hardcore that retains all the power of the greats like Earth Crisis while edging further down the path blurring the lines between the metal and hardcore scene. If you're unfamiliar with the band, listen and check them out, Adam was easy to talk to and his passion for this scene is felt from the outset. https://orthodoxtn.com/ Opening Track of the Episode Will To Live "Cold Embrace" 2nd single from the new release "Therapy Sessions" www.instagram.com/willtolivetxhc

Episode 116 Andrew King. Author of Failure Rules.

E

Episode 116 Andrew King. Author of Failure Rules. Andrew "Thorp" King came from the Philly area into hardcore and rose from a pit warrior to releasing some great releases at the end of the 90s and some of the greats of the 2000s with his Thorp Records and later Sailor Grave Records. Through his years of hard work, he has had some incredible ups and downs and would eventually pull his tale and lessons learned into a fantastic book "Failure Rules". This is a must listen not only for the fans of his labels etc but also those trotting down the same entrepreneurial roads that he had travelled. There is alot to be gleaned from the book and his story and our conversation barely broke the surface on all the things the book touches on.

E

Episode 115 Karl Buechner of Earth Crisis A guest of this magnitude doesn't need a bio entry from the likes of me. Earth Crisis over the last 30 plus years has shifted and shaped hardcore with a metallic influence and a clear focus on animal rights, veganism and an earth conscience mindset. With new music from his other project Freya, and Earth Crisis playing TIHC 2023 friday, it was good timing to finally get Karl on the show. www.instagram.com/earthcrisisofficial/ Opening Track of the Episode "Sense of Doom" Premiere!

Episode 114 Jay Reason After being a guest on the Diablo's Den hosted by Danny Diablo & Jay Reason, it was natural to bring Jay Reason onto the show. Having been friends with Jay since the earliest days of traveling out of state and being close of age, we had alot to talk about and reminisce about. Jay started out singing in Voice of Reason, then The Distance. He would be the assistant to Jamey Jasta and manage the Stillborn Records. He would later graduate into corporate record industry roles until he broke off a started his own label and now runs a record state in his homestate of Connecticut.

Episode 113 20 years of E Town Concrete - The Renaissance Happy Anniversary to one of my favorite records for nostalgic and sentimental reasons and one who I believe, over time proved to make quite a few critics look foolish.

Episode 111 Mike Scondotto of Confusion Mike Scondotto of Confusion (Inhuman, the Last Stand) has been a part of NYHC for a long time. I had a great time talking to him about the early days of growing up in Brooklyn in a house full of brothers, 4 out of 5 of which ended up being a part of the NYHC scene. We go deep into MIke's love of Metal, hardcore, the early days of what would later become "metalcore". The story of Confusion is also told, with alot of lesser known facts. With the re-issue of Confusion on vinyl via Generation Records and DAZE Style, it was awesome to hear the story from Mike and just talk about his opinion and insight from being around so many great moments early in NYHC history.

Episode 89. DIY = Making Things That You Want -Happen. Sorry for being off last week. I go over the idea that DIY - Do It Yourself includes making shit happen in the way that you want to see things happen. I go over some thoughts on social media crap, but ultimately if you want to see cool things in Hardcore Punk happen, you have the ability and can make them happen. Don't wait for people to do it for you. Opening Track of the Episode Off The Tracks " Different Worlds" off their "DEMO II" www.fromwithinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/demo-ii
