Interview with Michael Falzarano from NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE/HOT TUNA; Playing Syracuse 10/5/12!
Time to toss in a classic to bring on the nostalgia. Syracuse, NY is in for a rare treat on October 5th when New Riders Of The Purple Sage come to town! For those unfamiliar, meet the other band that Jerry Garcia, Mickey Hart, and Phil Lesh performed with. You know, The Grateful Dead guys? Don’t you feel silly, now?

Interview with WARBEAST; On tour with haarp and DOWN
Texan thrash metal monsters WARBEAST almost killed me once. Seriously. The volume and bass projected from a stage can stop a person’s heart in a split second. It isn’t necessarily how I planned to leave this world, but it has to be better than falling down a cliff sneaking into a Nickelback show. WARBEAST were, hands down, the loudest band I saw during my time at SXSW 2012. If I weren’t wearing earplugs that day, I’d probably have permanent brain damage. More so, anyway.
BATTERY Reunion show in DC 10/10/12; FREE ticket link below.

Interview with Freddy Cricien (@freddymb) from MADBALL; Playing @ECTsunami Fest this weekend!
In my humble opinion, NY Hardcore is where it all started. There may be a few of you out there who think D.C. did it first, or Boston is better, or ask what about California, but whatever. New York Hardcore not only helped to form the foundation of most scenes around the world, but is also one of the only scenes on the planet that still remains true to where it all started… The streets. And one cannot bring up a conversation about NYHC without mentioning the band that made it cool for little kids to scream into a microphone… Madball.
