HardLore

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. Enjoy.

We dive deep into the origin of the band, the recent loss of Brent Hinds after his dismissal from the band, Bill discovering extreme music in Rochester, NY and linking up with Brann first in Lethargy & Today is the Day, Mastodon’s humble but competent beginnings, and we break down the entire Mastodon discography and accompanying tours and tales in between.

Featuring special guest co-host, engineer & producer Taylor Young of God’s Hate, Twitching Tongues and more.

For the very first time on HardLore, the interviewer becomes the interviewee…

Myself, Brody King and Taylor Young of GOD’S HATE sit down with Anna Zanes, who up until just days ago was the editor in chief of Alternative Press, to deep dive into the development and intention of our brand new 12” EP, WON’T BE DISGRACED.

In our own words… Won’t Be Disgraced is a dense, urgent collection of 3 songs driven by grief and the state of the greater hardcore community and beyond.
Your mind can be your most powerful tool or a weapon used against you in your darkest moments, and the only guaranteed way to fail yourself and your loved ones is to quit.

As the world continues to be destroyed from within by greed, religious extremism, and 24 hour news cycles of division and violations of human rights… It has never been more apparent that all we have is each other. Use your hate to make a change. Don’t be disgraced.

Dedicated to Bohan Daniel Lueders.

You can stream all three songs and pre-order the record now: https://www.godshate.us

HardLore is joined by Ryan George & Todd Jones of CARRY ON for a thorough deep dive into the complete history of the band, following their long awaited return this past June at Tied Down fest, and on the eve of their hometown return at Sound & Fury festival.

From beginning as a metallic band called Persevere in Atascadero, California, to changing their name (and their many lineups), recruiting Todd, Corey Williams and Nick Jett in the band, finding their musical identity on their Roll With The Punches 7", refining it on their one and only album A Life Less Plagued, and Ryan infamously deciding to stop being straight edge, quickly ending the band...

This is a fascinating window into a band Bo and I grew up listening to and loving for 20+ years, and it was honor to be in the room as these two shared so much about such a beloved band. X's always win.

HardLore and special guest co-host Brody King are joined by TERROR founders Scott Vogel & Nick Jett for a special excursion all around the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.

We learn all about the origin of the band, which started from the ruins of Carry On, and visit a few key hotspots around our mutual hometown that played an integral role in Terror’s story.

We eventually meet up with Martín Stewart to discuss all things Terror and all things STILL SUFFER, their 10th and newest LP that released in this past April.

This was something scheduled for Bo and I to do together, and I can’t thank of a more appropriate way to finally make it happen than with my LEFT hand man, Mr. Brody King. Thank you to Terror for joining us for this first special episode like this in a long time.

This is another piece of HardLore history in the making, as we’re joined by our first ever actor, the great Brooke Smith of Silence of the Lambs, Grey’s Anatomy, Bates Motel and more!

I am once again joined, very appropriately, by Alec Faber of Holy Blade, Twitching Tongues & God’s Hate (and formerly of the Reel Deal podcast with… me)

Long before she graced the silver screen as the iconic Catherine Martin in Silence of the Lambs , you could find her romping around all over the lower east side as one of the infamous WARZONE WOMEN, and a staple of 1980’s New York Hardcore. She spent the golden decade of NYHC taking legendary photos of bands like Agnostic Front, Bad Brains, Cro-Mags, Underdog and more, as documented in her incredible book Sunday Matinee.

We get into her life as a legendary publicist’s daughter, befriending and falling out with the Cro-Mags, the informal formation of the Warzone Women, growing out of hardcore just as acting started to become more serious, her life changing by being in one of the greatest movies of all time, AGAIN with Grey’s Anatomy, and everything in between…

An incredibly fun conversation with a genuine legend. Thanks to Brooke for joining us.

We're joined his week to by Chris Conley, the founder, vocalist, and songwriter of Saves The Day for a comprehensive, career retrospective conversation… Featuring special guest co-host, Dr. Britty Drake of Pity Sex.

In this true 3.5 hour epic, we start from the beginning and deep deep into Chris and STD’s entire history… From discovering punk through free tickets to a Rancid show, instinctively writing music the second he touched a guitar, Sefler’s humble origin and demo quickly evolving into Saves The Day, working with Steve Evetts and Equal Vision records, Lifetime’s influence on the early days and Can’t Slow Down, dropping out of school to tour on Through Being Cool, taking a leap into the mainstream with Stay What You Are, the harsh reality check of In Reverie, all the way up to feeling “resurrected” by his family in 2026 and finding new ways to handle his lifelong battle with depression.

A true feast of information for any fan of the band, Chris, hardcore, punk, emo or beyond… Thank you to Chris and Britty for joining us.

In this highly anticipated next chapter with one of our favorite bands, HardLore is finally joined by Jade Puget: the man who was instrumental in defining the iconic AFI sound. Featuring special guest co-host Alec Faber of God’s Hate, Twitching Tongues and Holy Blade.

Following our legendary two part special with Davey Havok, we’re honored to share Jade’s side of the greater AFI story… Starting from the beginning with Jade discovering punk & hardcore in Ukiah, CA alongside his brother Smith, his days in Redemption 87, joining AFI and creating their definitive sound with his work on Black Sails in the Sunset, the surprising legacy of the All Hallows EP, his (and the band’s) frustrations with Nitro Records, the opportune timing of Art of Drowning, the cultural phenomenon of Sing the Sorrow and continuing success of Decemberunderground, the agony of Crash Love, the triumph of Burials, all the way to re-defining the AFI sound with Silver Bleeds the Black Sun.

It was an honor and a joy to finally chat about all things AFI and hardcore with Jade, and we can only hope you enjoy this 3 hour chat as much as we did.

It is my tremendous honor to be joined by Patrick Walker of Warning and 40 Watt Sun for what is not only first ever non-print interview, but also HardLore's first ever 1 on 1 interview with a guest.

In this appropriately intimate chat, we discuss his humble upbringing in Harlow, Essex UK.From the Jackson 5 and Tears For Fears to Revelation and Saint Vitus, we discover how Patrick's emotional connection with music flourished, and how he evolved into someone i've always considered to be one of the most personal and deliberate songwriters in the world.

We learn the canonical standing of Warning and 40 Watt Sun in Patrick's point of view, the 20 year lasting legacy of "Watching From A Distance" and why now was finally time to return to Warning for "Rituals of Shame."

After years of championing Patrick's work both on and off HardLore, it was an honor not only to have this chat, but to share more about someone whose work I admire so much. Thanks for watching.

Destiny has come: After being officially crowned the hardest hardcore band of all time in our official tournament bracket… We’re finally joined by the great Pete Morcey, vocalist of 100 DEMONS for a long form, sit-down interview.

We’re ALSO joined by special guest co-host Dan Seely of King Nine, for his historic 5th full-length appearance on a HardLore episode.

We start from the beginning of Pete’s nearly 40 year musical career, from making the “definitive American oi record” in Forced Reality, spearheading heavy hardcore in Connecticut with Higher Force, joining 100 Demons and writing the iconic self-titled record, his dark folk masterpiece that is Murmur’s The Boundless Black, all the way to now singing for Blood For Blood, and making 100 Demons’ first record in 22 years, Embrace the Black Light.

Thanks to Pete, Dan, and the Detroit Masonic Temple for having us.

We’re back… HardLore returns with a very special episode in honor of our late co-host, friend, and brother, Bo Lueders. Youth of Today was Bo’s favorite hardcore band of all time, and a constant through-line on this show since the beginning. Now, we’re finally joined by YoT/Shelter vocalist and trailblazer of straight edge as a movement: RAY CAPPO, for a 3.5 hour career retrospective interview.

It doesn’t end there, as our first ever guest co-host is also extra special, we’re joined by Harms Way vocalist James Pligge (aka “Youth Crew James”) to round out this perfect tribute to our fallen friend.

We start from the very beginning in Danbury, CT, where Ray and Violent Children got a historic head-start from an opportune visit to a radio station, discovering Hare Krishna through Harley Flanagan, meeting Porcell and evolving into Youth of Today and spreading straight edge all around the world, thoroughly BREAK DOWN the Youth of Today discography, founding Revelation AND Equal Vision Records, and the spiritual path that lead to the end of Youth of Today and the humble origin of Shelter.

The goal remains the same, carry on the love and dedication for our favorite bands that we’ve shown every week the last 4 years… But with the new mission of honoring Bo every step of the way. Enjoy.

The time has sadly come for our final episode with our beloved late Bo Lueders...  

But very poetically, it is one where perhaps his passions and interests were all on display like never before, and that he describes as the day he's been waiting for his entire life: We visited the historic site in Dallas, TX where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963.

We hit all of the local relevant hotspots in the area, he shares his theories & breaks down the historical facts (and fictions) we talk to a few lifetime Dallas locals about their views on one of the biggest news stories in American history... and then we walk off into the Sunset together, after 4 beautiful years of fulfilling our mission.  

This episode has nothing to do with hardcore music, or really music at all, but hardcore music brought us together to share our passions with the world and I'm so grateful that we got to capture this one for him as the perfect final sendoff.

Stick around 'til the end. Love you Bo.

A few weeks ago, Bo & I had the special privilege of traveling to Nashville to get an inside look into the making of DRAIN's "...Is Your Friend" U.S. tour with No Pressure, Haywire and Secret World, via our friends at Monster Energy. 

This was our first OFFICIAL "assignment" on behalf of Monster since we started working with them officially in January, and it's a bittersweet example of what was to come of this dream partnership. We're so grateful for the memories that this has created since losing our beloved Bohan Lueders, for what has now become his penultimate HardLore episode ever. 

We spent several days with the band & their crew made up entirely of hardcore musicians from bands like Rotting Out, Cosmic Joke, One Step Closer and more to give you all an inside look at their gear & production. We hope you enjoy this unique episode that was a first and last for us as a duo, where Bo’s unique knowledge and passion for gear was on full display.

Go see them near you soon.

Head to hardloremerch.com to grab a Bo memorial t-shirt for an amazing cause that we can't wait to tell you more about soon...

On April 2nd, 2026, the world lost Bo, and I lost my best friend.

I will have much more to say over time... But this episode was something that, upon time of recording (January, 2026), we decided was too intimate to post. We reviewed the initial cut (thank you Steven), and feared that once something so personal was out there, we couldn't ever take it back. We decided to store it and save it for off chance that we might some day feel comfortable posting it.

That day sadly came much sooner than either of us ever expected... This conversation, that I am now so thankful for, is a thorough look into our lives before & during the show. We came up with something like 100-150 questions before narrowing it down to this intimate conversation wherein we interviewed each other for the first, and last time.

The goal was not only to get to know each other in ways we didn't, but share something new and unique with you all. Now, all things considered, it is an absolute miracle. I expected going back through this to be painful and impossible, and it turned out to be some of the only comfort I've found since his passing. Suddenly he was here, back in the room with me, as he now is with all of you. I am writing this in haste basically on the way to his memorial, so I will let him speak for himself here now.

For Bo, Forever.

We're back with the second half of our conversation with one of hardcore's all time greatest frontmen: Freddy Cricien AKA Freddy MADBALL.

We discuss their hectic, but iconic performance at the legendary Dynamo Open Air 1995, the evolution of the karate mosh, the classic NYHC Documentary, Demonstrate my Style, Look My Way, Hold It Down, Madball initially breaking up in the early 2000s, New York Hardcore after 9/11, and so much more... 

Thank you all for joining us for both parts of this incredible chat, thank you to Freddy for joining us and for paving the way. Hardcore lives.

Madball's next LP "Not Your Kingdom" is coming soon.

We’re joined by one of the marquee vocalists and frontmen in all of hardcore music: MADBALL vocalist Freddy Cricien, known to most simply as Freddy Madball.

In part 1 of this two-part 5 HOUR conversation, we discuss Freddy and Madball’s history from 1983 to 1994 - Discovering hardcore via his brother Roger Miret of Agnostic Front, starting Madball when he was just 11 years old, the “mad science” behind Ball of Destruction, following up with Droppin Many Suckers years later, and the massive endeavor of signing to Roadrunner Records at the height of the 90s hardcore boom for their debut album Set It Off… Much more to come next week.

A true landmark conversation for this show andone we’re thrilled to finally have made happen and to share with all of you. Thanks to Black Heart Barber Co. in Nashville for having us!

Happy 311 Day to all who observe... We're joined by 311 co-founder and vocalist Nick Hexum at his home studio, deep in the old Topanga Canyon.

We break down his roots growing up punk and listening to funk in Omaha, Nebraska, 311's formation taking place just to open for Fugazi, the whole band moving to Van Nuys to try to get a record deal, the breakout success of "Down" and the whole self-titled record, the even bigger success of "Amber" and the 50 First Dates soundtrack, and thoroughly breakdown how bands like Bad Brains & Helmet influenced them from the beginning.

A truly great conversation and we thank Nick for having us, and for joining us.

Brought to you by BRAIN DEAD, check out their new collaboration with Cannibal Corpse and to see what's playing at the iconic Brain Dread Studios this month!

After years of build up... We finally sit down in person with our good friend & Touché Amoré vocalist JEREMY BOLM in-person at The Pit Recording Studio.

We talk all about Jeremy's upbringing in Burbank, CA, and how he went from Nirvana and Michael Jackson to Sepultura and Earth Crisis... From facing adversity growing up due to his unique speaking voice & his early bands, to finding the courage to sing for Touché Amoré, breaking down their entire discography, including their now 10 year old landmark "Stage Four", grieving to the masses via the albums lyrics, working with Ross Robinson, and much more.

This is one of our most requested and anticipated guests of all time, by you and by us, and it lead to a conversation where I learned a lot about someone I've known for over 20 years.

Whether you like Touché, HardLore, or anything in between, there's something for everyone in this episode. See you at the Stage Four anniversary gig.

We're joined by Bad Religion co-founder and Epitaph Records founder Brett Gurewitz at Brain Dead Studios in Hollywood, CA.

We discuss growing up in the West San Fernando Valley, discovering the Ramones in the late 70s, meeting Greg Graffin and Jay Bentley at El Camino Real High School and starting Bad Religion in the quad, founding Epitaph to put out the Bad Religion 7", the entire BR discography, leaving the band right before the overnight success of Offspring's Smash, rejoining for Process of Belief, his thoughts on streaming as it dominates the music landscape today, and his favorite hardcore records ever.

A genuine honor with a genuine legend and one of the best punk songwriters to ever live.

Check out Colin's hand picked Bad Religion playlist of hits and deep cuts and enjoy: Spotify & Apple Music.

Well, the day has finally arrived... After nearly four years of consistently praising Merauder's debut album, Master Killer (one of our favorite records ever) we're finally joined in person for a full length episode by vocalist Jorge Rosado.

We discuss his early life in Brooklyn, the Sunset Skins, meeting the late great Javier "Sob" Carpio, being asked to eventually join Merauder (& recording Master Killer just a few months later), the complicated timeline of Five Deadly Venoms, his love for the Eddie Leeway versions of the songs, the rejection of not landing the Sepultura gig and much, much, MUCH more.

A loaded episode that's been a long time coming. Thank you Jorge for joining us as we all celebrate 30 years of one of the best albums ever. Enjoy.

We're joined by a titan of American metal (everybody calls him that): Randy Blythe of Lamb of God.

We dive deep into Randy's life and musical history, from young punk rocker hopping freight trains, blowing off singing for the band that would become Burn the Priest, battling alcoholism from the early days through the glory days of Lamb of God, getting sober on tour with Metallica, his experience in Czech prison, and much, MUCH more.

This is a loaded episode with a true legend in extreme music, who practices what he preaches and lives up to all of the kind things you hear about him.

Go see Lamb of God on tour, check out their new record "Into Oblivion" on March 13th, and grab a copy of Randy's latest book "Just Beyond The Light" wherever you get your books!

It's another historic day on HardLore, as we're joined by Frank Novinec (AKA Florida Frank/Frank 3 Gun) of Hatebreed, and formerly of Ringworm, Integrity, Terror and more.

We've often lauded him as having one of the best resumes in the history of the genre, and now we hear all about his introduction to music and eventually to hardcore. From raiding his parents' record collection, his lifelong connection with heavy metal (mostly KISS and Blue Oyster Cult), growing up in the Cleveland hardcore scene and starting RINGWORM, joining INTEGRITY during Systems Overload, playing TERROR while they were on the rise, all the way to now celebrating 20 years of being in HATEBREED.

An amazing insight to one of our favorite guys. Enjoy.

We finally sit down with one of the greats at FYA Fest: Walter Schreifels of Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Youth of Today, Rival Schools and MANY more.

In this long awaited discussion, we discuss the danger of NYHC in the 1980s and how surviving it to tell the tale was all just part of the fun that kept him coming back, Gorilla Biscuits being his first hardcore band/writing “Start Today” at 19 years old, the effect on his writing that being in Youth of Today had on him, expanding beyond hardcore for the first time with Quicksand, producing Title Fight’s “Shed” and much more.

A true legend in hardcore, punk and beyond and we’re honored and grateful to have shred this time with him. Thanks to Walter and all of you. Enjoy.

Welcome to HardLore.fm… Years in the making, we’re joined by longtime friend of the show Anthony Didio, vocalist of Vein and Fleshwater. We learn about his introduction to music, and how finding The Carrier early on lead to cutting his teeth at Anchor’s Up in the Merrimack Valley.

We discover his evolution as a musician: starting Vein, making the landmark instant classic “Errorzone” and their mature follow up “This World is Going to Ruin You,” and ending suddenly shortly after upon the meteoric rise of Fleshwater immediately after their breakout debut LP “We’re Not Here to Be Loved”

Now fresh off a tour with Deftones, their enormously ambitious sophomore LP “2000: In Search of the Endless Sky” and their biggest headlining tour ever, Anthony finally joins us for a long awaited (from us and from you) in-person sit down interview. Enjoy.

The time has come… After crowning the best 1980’s and 1990’s hardcore bands in heated tournament brackets, we are now crowning the best 2000’s (2000-2009) hardcore band of all time…

We lived through this era so we’re finally qualified to weigh in (lol), so sit back, don’t relax, and be prepared to yell at the screen as we put 64 of the best bands of the new millennium head to head to battle it out.

We're joined by one of the most iconic bass players in the history of hardcore music, Craig Setari AKA Craig Ahead of Straight Ahead and Sick of it All, and formerly of Youth of Today, Agnostic Front, Rest in Pieces and more.

We talked in depth about the short history, but long legacy of Straight Ahead, including their upcoming reunion on April 25th, 2026, why he chose to quit Youth of Today, joining Agnostic Front for "One Voice," and ultimately his career defining role for over 30 years in SICK OF IT ALL.

This is our first ever single full three hour sit down with a guest, and it’s for damn good reason. There are only so many pioneers of this genre, and Craig is one of the greatest to ever do it. Enjoy.

We're finally joined by Floorpunch vocalist Mark Porter for an in-depth, comprehensive conversation about the entire history of one of the best straight edge hardcore bands ever.

From the first time Porter witnessed someone Floorpunching at a show, their initial formation after being collectively frustrated at a Snapcase show while lamenting what hardcore had become by 1995, all the way through to their legendary "last show" at CBGBs with Breakdown and the Cro-Mags.

Grab your copy of Shining Life Press' incredible Floorpunch book, follow along with this extensive firsthand account of Floorpunch from 1995-2000 (and beyond) and enjoy this amazing episode with a bucket list guest for us and a band we love.

We're joined by alternative music legend Anthony Green, former vocalist of Circa Survive & Saosin and currently of L.S. Dunes. 

We sit down in person on the S.S. Neverender to discuss his life in music, from being in bands like Jeer at Rome and Audience of One as a teenager, to joining and quickly quitting Saosin after leaving his permanent mark on the band and an entire genre, starting Circa Survive immediately upon returning home, their recent (definitive) break up, the unexpected shock of being asked to join L.S. Dunes, and battling addiction through it all/balancing fatherhood for the last 15 years. 

Thank you to Anthony for joining us and to all of you for watching this incredibly honest, thorough discussion with a truly one of a kind artist. ______________________

We're joined in Cozumel, Mexico for a very special, long awaited conversation with Coheed & Cambria vocalist/guitarist: the great Claudio Sanchez. 

We discuss Claudio's journey through music discovery and picking up the guitar long before Coheed, how a trip to Paris birthed "The Amory Wars" concept, the real life events and tragedies that inspired each album's concept, existing outside of genres and scenes, the immediate impact of "Welcome Home" and the writing/recording processes from "The Second Stage Turbine Blade" all the way to "The Father of Make Believe" -- a truly phenomenal episode with one of modern music's greatest guitar players and songwriters. 

Thank you to Claudio for joining us and for having us on the S.S. Neverender. We are one among the fence.

Ahoy mateys, we were fortunate to have set sail on Coheed & Cambrian’s S.S. Neverender last week, their five day music festival cruise featuring our own Twitching Tongues and many more. We talk all about our experience at sea and the many bands we saw and spoke to.

Features mini interviews with Foxing, The Callous Daoboys, Kaonashi, Softcult and Twitching Tongues. Thanks to Coheed, Blaze and Sixthman for having us.

It’s that time of year… The wind is howling, the sky gets darker much earlier… What better way to wallow in the depths of Autumn's despair once again than by celebrating 40 of our favorite “feel bad” (depressing) albums of all time. We each picked 20 records, in no particular order until our respective Top 5s. Look to them in your darkest hour, and they will guide you where you need to go.

We're joined by Nancy Barile, award-winning author of "I'm Not Holding Your Coat", an insightful chronicle of her life as an OG Philadelphia/Boston punk who lived through the golden age of hardcore music as it evolved in real time before her eyes.

 The Ramones, Bad Brains, Misfits, Minor Threat, Black Flag... You name it, she saw it. We talk about the legendary brawl in Kensington, booking the infamous "Gathering of the Tribes" show, cold calling CBGBs to get bands booked, and bumping elbows with just about every legendary figure in hardcore punk, and much more. 

Her husband, the late great Al Barile of SSD, was a pioneer of the straight edge movement and a name brought up often on HardLore throughout the years. He sadly passed away in April of 2025, and we talk all about their chance meeting, his impact on us, and share stories of Al through the years and look back at his perception of how straight edge and hardcore music have grown since his early days in SSD. An incredibly informative and cathartic conversation and an episode we've wanted to make happen for a long time. 

Thank you Nancy for joining us and all of you for watching/listening. RIP Al Barile.

To the victor go no spoils, but we hope you all have fun. Enjoy.

HardLore's spooky spin-off is back... Welcome to HauntLore VII: Where we explore The very haunted Chicago Metro.

This iconic Chicago landmark broke ground in 1927, but transitioned into an all purpose live music venue and dance club in 1979, and the basement's "Smartbar" was one of the earliest regular homes to Industrial music throughout it's infancy...

But a few mysteries and tragedies haunt the walls of the Metro, where a dramatic suicide, the tragic death of a child, and a pair of disembodied legs are said to roam the building at night. Watch as we thoroughly explore the unseen corners of this nearly 100 year old build and learn the sad origins of the spirits within. Thanks to Joe, Kristy, Skunk, Three and the Metro for having us!

HardLore is joined by AFI vocalist Davey Havok in person at Brain Dead Studios for part 2 of this landmark episode.

The second half of this 4+ hour conversation contains all things AFI from 2003 to present day, starting with their historic launch into the mainstream with their 2003 masterpiece, and many people's gateway to punk, hardcore, etc: "Sing the Sorrow", the nearly impossible task of following it up with the 2006 smash hit "Decemberunderground", the sudden end of the commercial success with "Crash Love", the miracle of "Burials", and all things "Blood Abum", "Bodies" and beyond as we prepare for the arrival of their new album and biggest sonic departure yet, "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun..." via Run For Cover Records.

We hope you enjoy part 2 of this incredible conversation and we thank Davey for his time, and Brain Dead for the space.

Make up by the great and powerful Leah Carmichael.

HardLore is joined by AFI vocalist Davey Havok in person at Brain Dead Studios for a landmark episode, weeks before the release of their new album "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun" on Run For Cover Records.

Part 1 of this 4+ hour conversation begins with Davey's origin to punk/hardcore music, and by association, straight edge and veganism. We thoroughly dive into AFI's chronology, beginning in 1991 when he started the band with drummer Adam Carson in high school, to all the twists and turns before finally adding long time bass player Hunter Burgan, and the guitar player that would ultimately define the AFI sound: Jade Puget.

We discuss "Answer That and Stay Fashionable", frustrations with Nitro Records throughout "Very Proud of Ya", "Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes" and beyond, fully coming into their own with "Black Sails in the Sunset", wearing their love of the Misfits on their sleeves on the "A Fire Inside" & "All Hallows" EPs, "The Art of Drowning" being their first record to chart on Billboard, his experience making the Son of Sam record with the 2000 lineup of Samhain just a few years before "Sing the Sorrow" would take over the world, the severe damage done to his voice by singing in his iconic incomparable register throughout the past three decades, and much, MUCH more.

We hope you enjoy part 1 of this incredible conversation and we thank Davey for his time, and Brain Dead for the space. Through our bleeding, we are one.

Make up by the legendary Leah Carmichael, who expertly covered up the most horrific zit I’ve ever had. I’m serious. She’s a magician.
