Mike Link! Simultaneously the best dude and the scariest in all of HC. Be wary of the splash zone when you’re catching Da Link. 💪🏻⛓️ Crazy to hear that “Another Cross” almost didn’t make the cut. One of my favorites off this AOTY. 🙌🏻
Sunny is an absolute icon for me. As someone who grew up loving hardcore but being thousands of miles away from the scene, hate5six let me live vicariously through Sunny. Fxcking legend
Moodring has been my favorite band since their EP dropped in 2021. Love Hunter’s energy and he’s a very inspirational person. New music soon and they’re gonna blow up, I can feel it
Screamo kids are totally pretentious, the music is obscure and abrasive and I also entirely get why hardcore kids may not like it or its community but I must say there is some homophobia and sexism in the dislike of screamo. Hardcore is very heteronormative, masculine and macho. Not entirely but mostly. That's what screamo, and especially whitebelt, was a response to. I must say that's also probably why more oldheads are not open to acknowledging the hardcore roots and current DIY scenes of screamo. Loved this discussion. Super productive and interesting.
Enjoyed the podcast but fucking hell he couldn't of said the word "yeah" any more could he. I'm sorry but sometimes people really need to work on their talking skills cause I swear every other word was "yeah"
