Episode 159 Pete Morcey. the Mayor of Brass City

Pete Morcey is an American Hardcore Punk Legend. From his earliest days at the Anthrax Club, to founding Forced Reality, one of the early great American Oi! bands. He would go on to front Higher Force, the first "heavy" hardcore band in Connecticut, which as a scene would become known for heavy bands like Hatebreed and others including 100 Demons, which the Higher Force guys would start up later in the 90s.
Pete would eventually join 100 Demons in the mid 2000s, where they would release one of the genre defining metalcore records of that decade via Deathwish Inc.
He along with friends would found Brass City Tattoo, as well as Shogun ScreenPrinting, Brass City Boss Sounds and the TNT Music Festival, which was a decade ahead of the current trend of Oi! /Hardcore.
He has been there through all of this and still running strong. He has a few more shows with 100 Demons and plenty of new ideas for books, releases and more things to come.

Episode 158 Sam James Velde of Future Management and much more

According to my brother Mexi Mike, Sam Velde may be the Forrest Gump of the Hardcore scene. He happened to be at many great moments throughout the last 4 decades. He also takes all that he has gleaned and put it into his current focus as a manager for Scowl and partner with Ricky Singh of Future Management.
His journey is a great one and a fun story he got to retell.

Episode 157 Josh Grabelle of Trust Kill

It goes without saying New Jersey Hardcore and beyond would be in a much different situation if he hadn't found hardcore and make it the driving force for most of his life.
His story is incredible, and I'll save you paragraphs.
Listen and enjoy.
