On this episode we talk about the Austin, Texas Metallic Hardcore band called Soul Exchange. They recently dropped their latest EP, Two Faces of Shame, check out the song Bleed. We also talk about the Inland Empire, California band Darasuum. These guys have been around for quite some time, but they were recently introduced to us. Their last EP, Thriving On The Divide, has been in constant rotation for the last couple of months. These are both great bands that are putting their own twist on hardcore and have made some great, unique music. We are huge fans of these bands and really hope we can see them soon! Make sure to catch Darasuum with No Innocent Victim this month.

On this episode we are joined by our good friend, Chris of First Grade Fight Club, to talk about who we think the GOATs are for different genres that we could think of. I think there's a lot here that people will agree with and a lot that people will hate us for! It was really fun and challenging just trying to pick one.

On this episode we were lucky enough to speak to Kyle Fisher, bass player for the California Hardcore band No Innocent Victim. We asked him about Furnace Fest, his background in music and we were lucky enough to hear some AMAZING stories about some of the tours they have been on, especially their tour with Agnostic Front in Europe. We were really trying to not freak out since NIV is such a big band for us but Kyle Fisher is awesome and we had a great time talking to him. P.S. stick around till the end because there is some cool info on what might be coming from the band in the next year! Instagram: No Innocent Victim

Part 2 of our Furnace Fest recap! We are talking about day three of FF and our final thoughts overall. We can't wait to get out to the next fest and we are curious at where we should go next. We are planning on hitting Sound and Fury, This is Hardcore, and more in the future, but what are some of the can't miss metal/hardcore fests we should be attending?

We are back from Furnace Fest! Sorry for missing last week, we tried to figure out something, but were unable to get anything recorded while we were out in Alabama. We go through all three days of the bands we saw and our overall experience with Furnace Fest. We talk about day one and two on this episode and we will talk about day three on part 2.

Overall FF was an incredible experience with some bands being everything they hoped they would be, and some surprising bands that blew us away more than we expected. We would love to hear what your favorite set was if you were there or your favorite clip you've seen from FF!

On this episode we were finally able to convince Will and Randall from the South Carolina Hardcore band Reviler to join us. We talked about how awesome the South Carolina scene is right now, we talked about how they started the band and how they went about recording their new album Devastation. We also talk about the cool physical mediums they use to advertise the band like selling physical tickets.
