    Episode 39 - Interview w/ Carl Severson of Ferret Music and Nora

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! Nate and Jesse discuss football season, how much fun it is to discover and share new bands in the hardcore scene, and the struggle as dads to find a balance between allowing your older kids to make their own decisions and have fun while they're still young, and also making the hard decisions for them because you know it's what's best. This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Carl Severson, owner of Ferret Music, vocalist of Nora, and all-around scene legend. Carl chats with the guys about the history of Ferret music, including some of the legendary albums they put out from bands like Converge, Killswitch Engage and Every Time I Die. They also talk about passing on the love of heavy music to our kids and how his sons have both grown up to love the scene and have their own involvement in it. Towards the end of the conversation, we spend time talking about Carl's friend, and one of the kindest souls in hardcore, Andy Williams.

    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!

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.

    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.

    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.
