When I first got into hardcore I witnessed some pretty wild events. There were fights with skinheads, suburban dudes acting as "crews," countless stage dives, a full scale riot, black eyes, a broken nose, and a broken window at a gig in a second story loft courtesy of a guitar amp. There was also the time we all had to wait it out because someone pulled a gun out in the parking lot. This all transpired within my first two years in the scene. Needless to say I was hooked. This podcast will serve as not only a memory of all of those events, but also a look into the future. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/enterprise-hardcore-podcast/support

Episode 161 - Into the Light
On episode 161, Greg is joined by Rob Antonucci of Achilles fame to discuss his latest project, Into the Light.
Into the Light is a post-hardcore band that will appeal to fans of Quicksand, but you can also detect influences from bands like Hum, Pixies, Nirvana, and Deftones.
Greg is joined by his Worldpurge bandmate, Sean Bailey, who was in Building on Fire with Rob 20 years ago. Sean provides the necessary technical background to keep up with Rob's substantial guitar knowledge and abilities, which Greg (sadly) lacks.
The group discusses the song writing process and band's influences before moving on to a discussion of the gear, amps, and pedal boards Into the Light employ to create their unique sound.
People who are familiar with Rob's other bands will know that the artwork is as much a part of the finished product as the songs. The guys discuss the symbolism behind the artwork used by Into the Light, and the meaning behind some of the lyrics.
Catch Into the Light at the upcoming Roses are Red reunion show in Rochester, NY on September 21st.
