Episode 168 Chubby Fresh A rising star in 2 bands in the 90s hardcore scene after coming up alongside the greats of the youthcrew movement, Chubby, Integrity and One Life Crew were poised to take over hardcore in a big way with Integrity on the victory roster and One Life Crew a few years later. Controversy would turn the fortune into folly and the chaotic, dramatic story of the bands unravel with beefs spreading across the midwest to NY and back. I try to delve into some aspects of the bands, Chubbys own background and hear his perspective on everything that went down. instagram & facebook - One_Life_Crew www.oneliferecords.com

Episode 163 Frankie Poupolo of Wisdom In Chains With This Is Hardcore just 3 weeks away, we bring the new member of Wisdom In Chains onto the show to talk about his excitement to be a part of the band. Frankie Poupolo another South Shore HC legend started coming down to our area with Death Before Dishonor. He would later start a project called Trust In Few, which Richie Krutch was a part of. Frankie is a family man and had to opt out of touring with DBD to work full time in a Union Sound/Stage Hand in the Boston area. He is absolutely one of the funniest guys you can run into as well as one of the most talented self taught musicians that I've ever met. From the minute I hit record, I had a blast talking to my old friend about his backstory, his excitement for the new role in WiC and what to expect next. I only wish I had more time to go deeper into the story, but he's a working man and took the podcast on his lunch break.

Episode 162 James Aloisio.of Ends Of Sanity and Unchained Mgmt. We had James on earlier this year to talk about Overcome Fest but I wanted more time to go over his story. From Long Island and some early bands, he would rise to be one of the more influential behind the scenes booking agent and later manager to some of the most talked about Hardcore and Punk bands of the current day. This is a great story about just finding opportunities, growing as a person and learning new skills and having the balls to give up a day job and just go for it. https://www.instagram.com/jamesxaloisio https://www.instagram.com/unchained_hq https://www.instagram.com/endsofsanity Opening Track of the Episode Hollow Ground "Disgraced https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nate-glover-memorial-show-tickets-916790925337 https://www.instagram.com/cancercarembfdn
