HardLore

We went lookin' for trouble and we found Kenny Hickey, guitarist and co-founder of HardLore's collective favorite band of all time: Type O Negative.We discuss the entire history of Type O Negative from Kenny's perspective, starting from the beginning at his introduction to music as a lifelong rocker/metalhead, his intimidating introduction to Peter Steele as a teenager, the many early phases and band names of Type O, we reflect on their entire discography and the tours & tribulations in between in chronological order, all the way up to the tragic loss of Peter in 2010.We're joined by long time friend of the show Andrew Saba, currently of The Virgos, formerly of Harms Way, Nails, Bad Seed and more.These days Kenny is rocking in Silvertomb (New album out November 13th) and Sun Don't Shine and we can't thank him enough for joining us for this historic conversation.________HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.Shot, edited and mixed by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Steven Grise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Title sequence by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nicholas Marzluf⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HARDLORE PATREON⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes• Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HARDLORE DISCORD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Get 10% off MILLS VINTAGE site-wide with code HARDLORE!• Get 10% off GUILTY PARTY site-wide with code HARDLORE and grab some of our favorite clothing brands of all time!• Get 15% off DUNABLE GUITARS with code HARDLORE!• Get tickets for SONIC TEMPLE Festival!

No need to have a nervous breakdown, we've finally got the legendary KEITH MORRIS on HardLore, one of the founding fathers of hardcore music.In part 1 of this incredible 4+ hour two-part special, we start at the beginning with Keith's introduction to music (he's a big fan) and deep dive into starting Panic (eventually known as BLACK FLAG) with Greg Ginn, what early punk rock was like in the South Bay and greater LA area in the late 70s, how Black Flag finally became Black Flag, recruiting the rest of the band, the incomparable artistic contributions of the great Raymond Pettibon, recording NERVOUS BREAKDOWN (and re-recording most of it with Circle Jerks), why and how he ultimately left the band, and so much more...Thanks to my incredible co-host Anthony Anzaldo of Ceremony for the fantastic assist and great questions/insight as always.Next week we pick up right where we leave off, with the beginning of the Circle Jerks...

This week we’re joined by Andrew Kline, co-founder and guitarist of one of California hardcore’s most important bands: STRIFE.We dive into the many fateful encounters that had to happen for the band to start in the beginning of the 90s to usher in a new era and new generation of straight edge hardcore. Strife, along with Earth Crisis and Snapcase were eventually considered the original “Victory Records Trinity” and set the standard for what a hardcore band could do worldwide in the mid to late 90s.We break down their entire discography, including their breakout debut One Truth and their decade-defining masterpiece In This Defiance — all the way up until their breakup and eventual return (and misunderstood statement about no longer being straight edge) in the 2000s.An incredibly insightful and fascinating window into what is now an underrated band, but one that has seen what the top of the mountain of hardcore music has to offer.Check out HardLore's very own ⁠PLAN X RECORDS!⁠ A brand new home for straight edge hardcore.

Hello welcome! Decided to take a minute this week to reflect on the last 4 and a half years of the show and do a little deep dive into what are, in my opinion, our top 10 most important episodes. "Important" meaning episodes that we talked about often that felt like game changers in different ways: Creative growth, audience growth, and personal growth.I'm sure many will feel different and have their own picks, but these are the ones that I believe Bo and I would both would have picked. Hope you enjoy this unique solo deep dive before we post back to back to back episodes of pure HEAT coming up.__________HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.Shot, edited and mixed by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Steven Grise⁠⁠⁠⁠ Title sequence by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Nicholas Marzluf⁠⁠⁠⁠ • Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠HARDLORE PATREON⁠⁠⁠⁠ to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes• Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠HARDLORE DISCORD⁠⁠⁠⁠ __________00:00 - Start02:20 - Honorable Mentions16:57 - Number 10: HauntLore Salem (With Kurt Ballou)19:53 - Number 9: Justice Tripp (Trapped Under Ice/Angel Du$t)23:09 - Number 8: Bryan Garris (Knocked Loose)26:16 - Number 7: Fast Food Tier List30:39 - Number 6: Vinnie Stigma (Agnostic Front)34:49 - Number 5: HardLore Jeopardy39:00 - Number 4: Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed)41:07 - Number 3: Parris Mayhew (Cro-Mags)46:21 - Number 2: Davey Havok (AFI)51:57 - Number 1...

Let the chaos begin... In March of this year, Bo and I had an idea to let the viewers decide on our next bracket episode (since you're never happy with the bands we pick) and this was the result. The top 64 bands, as voted by YOU! Every matchup was random in our first ever truly unpredictable live tournament challenge.I'm joined by Joey Chiaramonte from Koyo, alongside Alec Faber & Taylor Young from Twitching Tongues/God's Hate to determine a winner in real time in our first ever in-person bracket episode.__________HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.Shot, edited and mixed by ⁠⁠⁠Steven Grise⁠⁠⁠ Title sequence by ⁠⁠⁠Nicholas Marzluf⁠⁠⁠ • Join the ⁠⁠⁠HARDLORE PATREON⁠⁠⁠ to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes• Join the ⁠⁠⁠HARDLORE DISCORD⁠⁠⁠ • Get 15% off ⁠⁠TIMELESS COFFEE⁠⁠ site-wide and grab a bag of my favorite beans and the best vegan cookies I’ve ever had• Get 10% off ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MILLS VINTAGE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ site-wide with code HARDLORE._________00:00:00 - Start00:01:51 - The Chaos Begins...00:02:37 - Deftones vs. Ween00:04:06 - Snapcase vs. Gallows00:05:59 - Haywire vs. Title Fight00:07:01 - Converge vs. Fall Out Boy00:08:09 - Drug Church vs. Blacklisted00:09:14 - Black Breath vs. Propaghandi00:10:48 - Arkangel vs. Bolt Thrower00:12:09 - The Acacia Strain vs. Poison Idea00:13:13 - 7A7P vs. Mastodon00:14:07 - The Cure vs. Paramore00:16:11 - ETID vs. Meshuggah00:19:38 - Section 8 vs. Bad Religion00:20:41 - Power Trip vs. Neglect00:22:22 - AFI vs. Death00:24:26 - Lifetime vs. Jimmy Eat World00:25:21 - Refused vs. Weird Al Yankovich00:27:10 - Steeley Dan vs. Candlemass00:28:15 - The Animals vs. On Broken Wings00:30:35 - Alice In Chains vs. Eighteen Visions00:32:16 - Alkaline Trio vs. Primus00:34:13 - Tool vs. Poison The Well00:36:29 - Candiria vs. Fight Everyone00:37:24 - Skinless vs. The Rival Mob00:39:11 - Mindsnare vs. Oasis00:40:10 - Thrice vs. NOFX00:41:35 - Rush vs. Hum00:43:19 - Dillinger Escape Plan vs. Shai Hulud00:43:26 - 1975 vs. The Smiths00:45:19 - Mills Vintage vs. Timeless Coffee00:47:24 - Tragedy vs. Neurosis00:48:36 - The Beatles vs. 10800:49:24 - Thin Lizzy vs. Botch00:50:31 - Glassjaw vs. Nile00:53:30 - Ween vs. Snapcase00:54:03 - Title Fight vs. Converge00:55:35 - Black Breath vs. Blacklisted00:57:55 - Bolt Thrower vs. Poison Idea01:01:13 - Mastodon vs. The Cure01:01:25 - ETID vs. Bad Religion01:02:32 - Neglect vs. AFI01:03:17 - Jimmy Eat World vs. Weird Al01:04:06 - Candlemass vs. The Animals01:04:52 - Alice in Chains vs. Primus01:06:12 - Tool vs. Candiria01:07:11 - NOFX vs. Hum01:07:27 - Dillinger Escape Plan vs. The Smiths01:07:33 - Neurosis vs. The Beatles01:08:39 - Glassjaw vs. Thin Lizzy01:09:44 - Ween vs. Converge01:10:06 - Black Breath vs. Poison Idea01:10:30 - The Cure vs. Bad Religion01:11:25 - AFI vs. Jimmy Eat World01:15:12 - Candlemass vs. Alice in Chains01:16:23 - Candiria vs. Oasis01:18:29 - Hum vs. The Smiths01:19:54 - Neurosis vs. Thin Lizzy01:20:52 - Converge vs. Poison Idea01:22:17 - The Cure vs. AFI01:23:46 - Candlemass vs. Oasis01:26:27 - The Smiths vs. Neurosis01:30:45 - Converge vs. AFI01:32:03 - Oasis vs.The Smiths01:32:26 - FINALS

This week we're joined by vocalist Ross Farrar & guitarist Anthony Anzaldo of the great CEREMONY...From childhood friends to lifelong bandmates, we learn all about their individual introductions to punk and hardcore music and how that eventually lead to the fateful formation of now legendary bay area hardcore band, Ceremony.From the aggressive hardcore origins of their demo, first 7", and first 2 LPs, to their first big evolution and breakout Rohnert Park, all the way to their newest (and possibly best) album Tell Me Your Dream, we discuss everything in between, and the many "Gauntlets" in between that got us here.A thoroughly fun, fascinating inside look at what is truly one of the defining underground bands of the last 20+ years.

This is easily one of the best conversations to ever happen on this show.We stopped by Trust Records HQ for this incredible chat the great Sammy Siegler, one of hardcore's most prolific drummers to ever grace the throne.We dive into Sammy's origin as the Godfather of Open Handed Lefty drummers in hardcore, his brief stint in Gorilla Biscuits, joining Side By Side at 11-12 years old, the Project X 7", joining Youth of Today as a longtime fan of the band, ALL things Judge, Chung King and Bringin' It Down and his later work in CIV, Rival Schools, Glassjaw and somehow Limp Bizkit of all things.We're appropriately joined by my main man Mike Cesario of Twitching Tongues, Disgrace, Pity Sex, Forced Order and more to round out this mini panel of unique drummers.Thanks to Sammy for joining us and sharing so much lore about so many great bands and records.

Rest in peace to the universally beloved Andy "The Butcher" Williams of Every Time I Die, Atomic Rule and All Elite Wrestling. When it comes to leading by example, Andy was THE ultimate example to follow from the moment you met him. A beacon of kindness, the benchmark of cool, and an unbreakable pillar of love and support to everyone in his life. To know Andy was to love Andy, but more importantly, to know Andy was to feel loved by Andy.Andy was our second ever guest on HardLore, and technically our 3rd ever recorded episode. In his honor, we've upscaled this original episode to 4K to preserve this important conversation in the highest possible quality. We will love and miss Andy forever and I can't wait to hear the band that he and Bo will surely be working on. Goodbye my friend.Originally aired May 11th, 2022:"Colin and Bo welcome Andy Williams to the show to recount some of his favorite tour stories, from his early days touring with Buried Alive, his long tenure with Every Time I Die, and how he went on to be able to balance his music career with wrestling full time for AEW as half of The Butcher and The Blade."__________00:00:00 - Remembering Andy Williams00:05:29 - 10 Bell Salute00:05:58 - HardLore Episode 4: Andy Williams00:07:01 - The Parallels Between Music & Wrestling00:11:53 - What Set Andy on a New Path00:17:13 - Andy & Buried Alive00:22:54 - Andy's Music Taste Refining00:30:08 - Andy Asks the Worst Places We've Stayed On Tour00:35:22 - ETID's 1 Star Hotel Gimmick00:39:19 - Andy Tour Stories00:48:04 - Balancing AEW & ETID00:52:32 - Andy Loves Little Gear Now, Tour Stories Cont.00:58:29 - Wrestlers and Their Musical Interests01:03:27 - Wrestling Is Songwriting01:11:16 - ETID Setting the Example For Touring Bands01:16:45 - Andy on the End of ETID

We're joined by Pennsylvania's own ARTHUR RIZK! Longtime friend of the show and expert producer/engineer of all things extreme.Before discussing his work with bands like Blood Incantation, Power Trip, the Cavaleras, Cro-Mags, Kreator (and so many more)... We discuss Arthur's background as the once reluctant guitar player of legendary PA Hardcore band WAR HUNGRY, which lead to him finding his footing in the hardcore community in the early oughts as a young metalhead. These days Arthur is juggling his time as a musician between COLD WORLD, ETERNAL CHAMPION and SUMERLANDS when he's not manning the board for metal's biggest bands.We're also joined once again by guest co-host and another modern great in extreme music engineering, our very own Taylor Young. This is a fascinating deep dive into the world of hardcore, metal & punk production with two of the greatest minds currently doing it.
