The Hardcore Record Podcast - Episode 20 - Jenny Woo

I asked Jenny to join me on the because I always saw what she stood for and what an inspiration she is

Trailblazing new ways by tearing down walls.
Fighting oppression on every front within society and the underground.

So have those conversations about change at shows, at a coffee house, a bar or pub, with friends and make new friends, you never know what you could become if the right spark gets said

Then check out her music, her lyrics, go to one her show and listen to her voice of Oi!

Enjoy!

Getting to talk to Rob was a pleasure. During this talk he asked about what draws me to or what I like about the Bitter Tongues album. I had an answer but as I sat with this for a bit after the talk, I wondered what this bad has meant to me. I expressed it in a poem as this is how I express myself in life.

Please have a listen and enjoy!

3 Chords, Our Truth and the Capacity we Hold in Ourselves

Words un - ended

Exchanged in unison

Hellos, goodbyes and see you later my friends

We were all drawn to this, to scream and shout out our imperfections and frustrations, all while finding out who we are

Sometimes it begins

Sometimes it ends

Sometimes it gets picked back up again

It's a coming together of like minds

What you create is a gift

And you have given

The one thing I have learned over the years is that everything can shift the older we get

As to where it goes is still open

I am living and embracing myself in a way I only ever dreamed of by reaching out and sharing that with whoever wants to listen

I hope it can become - what some call inspiration - to others like this Richmond punk band has done for me

They have been a voice that has helped me define a relationship with the experiences I have lived in these moments that I’ve had with the music that we all share!

Episode 18 with Nymphidels. A duo with a blend of rock n roll doing it on there terms.

I caught them preform at The Pour Farm Tavern in New Bedford recently and was not disappointed. Jess has this grace in her voice that pulls you in and has the guitar play into your emotions and then Pat beats the drums in a way for you to settle into and then you find yourself at the end of the EP asking for more.

Please take a listen to the episode and go check them out. Do yourself a favor and go see them live.

Episode 17 with Consumer Culture

I caught Consumer Culture playing a show at Deep Cuts in Medford MA.

I was blown away at the creativity and the enjoyment of them performing. Talking to them after the show I was able to see this even more.

Since then I have been following them online and getting to see more of what they are about. They push themselves to challenge today’s issues in society while coming from such different background and challenging themselves on how they play.

They are an enjoyment to see play live and recommend you go see them when you get the chance.

Take a listen, enjoy and get out to shows!

Getting to speak with people from the bands you enjoy going to see is always a pleasure. Take a listen and then go blast some Miracle Blood and hit them up some shows.

Cameran Sassman

Once in awhile you meet someone at a show even as we age and you get talking about life and music through mutual friendships.

I hope you enjoy this this talk as much as I did with Mike from Not Like You Records and Zines. Enjoy!

Wades are some of the most artistic people to come across my path. From drawing, painting, guitar ripping, graphics, screaming vocals, zine publisher, noise makers. They have been a part of some of the most iconic scenes and continue to enjoy life and being creative.
