    Episode 35 - Sound & Fury Recap

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, the dads recap their weekend at Sound & Fury. There were unforgettable sets from legendary bands, fresh sounds from new bands, and collabs that will be burned into our memories forever. We hung out with friends, made some new ones and already can't wait for next year. One thing that stood out during Sound & Fury, with no barriers, was the massive stage pile-ons. While hardcore has always been interactive, and the best shows are no-barrier shows...are pile-ons becoming too much? Are they getting to a point where it's ruining the experience for bands and the rest of the crowd? Nate and Jesse break it down. Additions to the Dads Who Mosh Playlist: Jesse - "The Product is You" by Incendiary Nate - "Be Harder" by God's Hate Upcoming Shows: Jesse - Division of Mind, Mongrel, Bloodshed - September 11th, San Diego, Corazon del Barrio Follow us!

    Episode 34 - Sound & Fury Preview

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! It's Sound & Fury Week! Nate and Jesse get stoked for the festival by going over each band for both days of the show and highlighting the ones they're most excited for. Can't wait to see everyone there! In Dad world, the guys talk about what it's like to slowly turn into a dad and start having your own "dad-isms". Eventually, we all get upset about the thermostat. Becoming dads has given us the ability to learn more about our own dads and continue to be the best that we can for our kids. Additions to the Dads Who Mosh Playlist: Jesse - "FFWAS" by Peeling Flesh Nate - "Element" by Vision of Disorder Follow us!

    Episode 33 - Interview w/ Joe Musten of Advent and Beloved

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Joe Musten (Advent, Beloved). The dads talk about the state of the scene in North Carolina and how Advent is among a whole list of hardcore bands that continue to shape the scene. Joe also shares stories about touring, the impact that Beloved has had on people, Furnace Fest, and almost getting into fights at shows with other bands on the lineup. The dads also talk about how being a dad and a son or daughter requires a ton of grace. Parents don't have it all figured out, and you really start to understand that when you become a parent yourself. The best we can hope for is to be the best we can possibly be for our kids. Additions to the Dads Who Mosh Playlist: Joe - "Anchor" by Turmoil Jesse - "Hey John, What's Your Name Again?" by The Devil Wears Prada Nate - "Calling Hours" by Bane Follow us!

    Episode 32 - Full Warped Tour '26 Review and We Debate Circle Pits

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Jesse recaps Warped Tour in Long Beach! The vibes, the bands, the people there, were all great and made for a great weekend. Later, the moshing debates continue as the guys talk "rowboats" in mosh pits, the level of skill required for a circle pits, and bands calling out moshers during shows. The dads also discuss how dad life can often be very much like the punk/hardcore scene. Dads today have to choose to go against the grain, and put aside the self-serving nature of our current culture, and do things that don't make sense to a lot of people around us who don't have families to take care of. No matter what we give up to help raise our families, we wouldn't trade it for the world! Bands You Should Know: Nate - Qwan (@qwanhc) Jesse - Start Today (@starttodayhc) Hardcore News: - Spiritbox front-woman, Courtney, calls out violent fan in crowd - A storage unit belonging to Andrew Wetzel, drummer of Attack Attack! is broken into, but thief leaves band merch and albums untouched - Knocked Loose, Denzel Curry and Combust announce free show in Brooklyn -Haywire, Fiddlehead, Colin of Arabia and more announce free show in Boston with donation of school supplies New Releases: - Boundaries, "Yearning: The Unbeautiful After" (LP) - No Pressure, "NP Style" (LP) - Pain of Truth, "Unforgiven" (single, feat.

    Episode 31 - Interview w/ Jay from Bayway

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by a very special guest, Jay from Bayway! Jay hops onto the podcast while on the road with No Cure, Big Ass Truck and Boltcutter. The guys talk about live shows, the energy that Bayway brings to each tour, despite often being the "odd duck" on the ticket. Jay also talks about Hellfest, and how the payoff after months of planning and re-planning was so huge and those who made it this past year know how special of a time it was. As a dad, Jay has made some major decisions for the benefit of his family, including making the decision to get sober, almost three years ago now. It's not an easy thing to switch from "Jay from Bayway Mode" while on tour, fronting a hardcore band, to "Dad Mode" when he gets home to mulch the lawn and get the backyard ready for graduation parties, but Jay's here for every minute of it. At the end, Jay makes his honorary addition to the Dads Who Mosh Playlist with the song "Anger" by Downset. This was a very special episode for us, and we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had recording it. Follow us!

    Episode 29 - Beatdown Bands, Big Festivals, and Being a Dad

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Jesse and Nate talk about Jesse's love for beatdown, swim meets in Tucson and a pointless story about an old lady that Nate used to know. The dads also talk about how when it comes to men's mental health, it's not just talking and not just action that helps guys, but it's both. Guys need to be able to freely talk about how they're feeling and what they're going through, but we usually need something to actually do as well.
