HardLore: Stories from Tour

One of the most consistently requested guest since the beginning of HardLore: THOMAS PEARSON, vocalist of Atlanta's FOUNDATION finally joins us for an epic 3-hour episode documenting Foundation's beginning, ending, and everything in between. Since their breakup in 2016, Atlanta's FOUNDATION has become a mythical band to new fans of hardcore music, a band who's message carried as much meaning and weight as their now-iconic metallic twist on straight edge hardcore. We discuss Thomas' beginnings as a hardcore kid inspired by frontmen who went above and beyond to use their time on stage as a platform to do good, his bands...

Colin and Bo list their favorite opening tracks in hardcore music. Whether it’s for an LP, an EP or a split, the first song on a record sets the tone for what you can expect from a band and often times can end up defining their entire career. They are the ultimate statement piece for what you’re about to hear, so we’ve paid tribute to some of the greatest ever with our official lists over the next 90 minutes.

We are finally joined by Twitching Tongues and God’s Hate bass player/stage mosher extraordinaire Alec Faber, who fronts the newly conceived Holy Blade alongside one of HardLore’s own.

We are joined live at HardLore HQ by Braxton Marcellous, the charismatic, multi-talented guitar player of generational standouts ZULU. Braxton is not only wildly magnetic and unforgettable as a stage performer, but truly one of the all time greats one on one. ZULU is a band full of hardcore lifers proudly carrying the torch, and are an amazing example of blazing your own path and finding ways to quickly evolve without sacrificing integrity, and reminding the world that in hardcore the music IS the message. We had a blast talking to Braxton getting to the bottom of how he made...

The long awaited day has arrived... HardLore conducts a live tournament bracket to determine the hardest HARDCORE band of all time in a stacked tournament of bands hand-picked by us, in brackets set completely randomly... We swear. We stuck to MUSICAL HARDNESS as our main criteria, but there are a few examples when separating the art and the artist is simply impossible. Enjoy. HardLore is now on Patreon!

HardLore was joined for our first ever interview with a filmmaker by GREEN ROOM writer and director Jeremy Saulnier, who many don't know is a Virginia/DC hardcore OG. As the now cult classic film approaches its historic 10th anniversary, we moderated a Q&A at a sold out screening of the 2015 punk horror phenomenon at Brain Dead Studios. So much of this movie is crafted out of personal experiences, whether they were Jeremy's, or fellow hardcore musicians and show-goers he grew up with. HardLore is now on Patreon!

HardLore is honored to be joined by the Godfather of hardcore himself: Vinnie Stigma from Agnostic Front. A true pioneer of the genre and a living legend, Vinnie took us around his neighborhood in New York City, including the world famous former home of the legendary venue CBGBs. We learned all about his early days as a punk rocker, making the jump to hardcore, how much he misses playing in Madball and SO much more in these incredible 2 hours of the hardest lore yet. There's possibly no hardcore today without Vinnie and Agnostic Front's contributions to the genre, and there's...
