Incredibly exciting day on the pod covering South Florida hardcore at its finest. Jeff Howe currently plays in a band called Horsewhip but has also played in legendary bands from that area called Reversal of Man and Combatwoundedveteran. We discuss his first times touring across the US, repairing airplanes and of course the South Florida hardcore scene in general.  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

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. He was a great hang and hope you enjoy!  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

BONUS EPISODE BROUGHT TO YOU BY NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL.  A special treat this week with a bonus chat from Jordan Jenkins from California hardcore band, Momentum. We speak about his discovery of punk/hardcore, the deep LA valley scene and a lot more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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). Both bands are on fire right now and it's amazing to watch them rise.  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

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 has taken him.

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.

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.

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).

This episode is exclusively brought to you by the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival!  In this bonus episode we speak to two frontmen of up and coming modern metal core bands, Marcus from Northlane and Sean from Make Them Suffer. I recorded these chats from the festival so you get the FULL experience and energy of being there. I ducked into a corner with each of them and spoke at length about their US touring experiences, how difficult it is getting out of Australia and more.  Subscribe to the podcast on YouTubeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have the pleasure of hanging out with the absolute shredder, Gina Gleason from Baroness today. She has such an interesting journey in music as she cut her teeth in the local Philly scene but then played for years with Cirque Du Soleli in Las Vegas playing over 200 shows a year! Super interesting stuff and we dig into it all from being a gear head to finding your own space.

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 punk. Their very first show was with Fugazi for heavens sake! Nick and I get deep with their DIY origins and the Omaha scene.

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome an incredibly thoughtful human and prolific musician, Dan Yemin. 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 enjoy it as much as I did.  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

Top of the morning to ya! Pardon the horrible cliche but we have an Irish punk veteran on the show this week in the form of Cormy from Geld. While he's since moved to Australia and plays in the band (who just released a ripper on Relapse Records) he has his roots in Ireland and we discuss all things his band, building your own scene and a deep conversation about identity. After you've listened to this chat dive into Geld and thank me later.  Listen to the Official Outbreak Podcast here (executive produced by yours truly)  Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by Tapestry Gold Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Listen to “More On That”, a supplementary podcast to 100 Words on Spotify exclusively Rockabilia sells you officially licensed Merch from ALL your favorite bands (and your Dad's favorite band, your siblings etc...).

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 such a nice dude so I was happy to get to know him a lot better during this and hope you do as well.

Elated to share this conversation with Christina Ward who is the Vice President of Feral House Publishing and an author. They are one of the most prolific indie publishers around hitting subcultures all across the spectrum from black metal, satanism, psychedelics and so much more. I picked up the book Lords of Chaos many years ago and have since followed their publishing journey. We go in deep about the publishing world, her own experience writing (her new book, Holy Food, all about cults, communes and their influence on food is out now) and how music is at the heart of it all.

Oh boy, this one has been on my "list" for awhile and glad we were able to make this happen. I have Wes Eisold from American Nightmare and Cold Cave chatting with us today. The introspective Wes and I dive into his experience growing up with a father in the Navy, staying connected/present and fending for yourself. Cold Cave is on tour in September and October, so make sure you check out their site for more info. American Nightmare also just released a new EP that you need to listen to as well.

We got a lot of Cleveland hardcore talk this week with none other than Eric Egan from Heart Attack Man! Eric is a funny man on the internet and truthfully, that's where I discovered the band but once I did, I was happy. Eric and I dig into his Cleveland upbringing, following creative impulses and online humor in general. I sometimes use this podcast to make friends and Eric and I became that after this discussion.
