Hello, welcome. It's Hardlore Time. How are you, Bo?
I'm a resident. I live here.
You live in Van Nuys, California. Now, welcome to Hardlore H.Q. We're here together for the official
Hardlore Sound and Fury post-game report. It was a legendary weekend.
And if you went to Sound and Fury and you're coming to listen, welcome.
Yeah.
If you missed it and you've got, if you're a big old FOMO,
Sapien right now. I saw so many tweets.
Like, Ah!
Out of Fury FOMO.
So to the FOMO sapiens out there,
we're here to tell you what happened.
You know, we're here to show you some highlights and
just talk about it from our eyes, you know, from our noses, ears,
lips.
Let's, you know, it's the week started with our
our Hordor Live thing, which you can see.
That was our episode last week.
This has been Collins' busiest week of his entire
followed by the busiest month of your entire life.
Yeah.
August is fine.
No, I'm sorry, I meant to say
preceded.
Oh, yeah, preceded by.
June was fucked.
But yeah, this week was absolutely insane.
It started with our beautiful live thing.
And if you watch that, if you went to it,
thank you so much.
That's probably our favorite thing we've ever done.
Touching.
We were honored to sit down with Martine
and kind of kick off Sounding Furious week.
Strong.
And maybe there's more in the text.
And maybe there are.
We did a lot this week.
It's all good stuff.
But let's, you know, let's get to the fest itself.
That's really what we're.
That's what we're here for.
Saturday.
Let's think.
You got there super early.
Got there very early.
This was the triumphant return.
Yeah.
So, you know, we had the idea Thursday night to do the kill them all.
The, the twitching tongues gods hate, like joint mall and hard.
Mall and Hardlore Mall.
Our buddies, John and Richie, had that banner made one day later.
Unreal.
Good to go.
Just, we're, you know, just having fun.
But Saturday.
What time did you get there?
I got there at probably 11, 11 a.m., which, like, so did the showgoers.
Okay.
You know, band started at one.
C4 being second band is amazing.
That's hilarious.
The Triple B, the Triple B.
backing band
I will say
so at this point I no longer had a rental car
and was reliant on Uber
and this is as
anything would go
was just pure chaos
because we're there with
merch boxes and
all the the Uber
lift drop-off point was like one spot that was
the opposite corner of the entrance
So what's awesome about Santa Fury
for if on the artist
perspective.
Yeah.
Is when you arrive, there's
guys there and gals there with golf carts
or they'll just say,
hey, take your van over here and load all your stuff
like straight onto your stage.
You know what I did?
What you do?
Rented a lime scooter.
Oh, that's smart.
And I walked with it.
It's very smart.
And walked our boxes all the way around.
That's genius.
Day one, I mean, you saw we had a lot of merch boxes
and that was a task.
I was sweatier just from that
than either of the sets
at any point in my life.
climbing over the table and getting hardler stuff ready,
I was drenched.
I didn't do anything.
It was wet.
It was a rare,
humid day in Los Angeles.
But let's talk about the day itself.
The first few bands,
C4, TruthCult, crushed, scalp from O.C.
These were highlights to a lot of people.
Scalp especially.
A lot of people said that scalp,
scalp and big boy were the people's answers
for a favorite California band,
like current favorite California band,
scalp and big boys straight up.
Took the cake.
Big boy from San Jose.
Yes.
We found out.
They,
so this was when...
We got to talk about it.
Yeah, let's talk about it.
Yeah.
This was when,
you know,
we could talk about it or
we could share
Martin Stewart,
our guest last week,
co-promoter of Sound and Fury,
typed up some words for us to share to you directly,
the full story on what happened with the bike racks on stage for Big Boy
and in front of the stage for a lot of the other bands.
He couldn't record his voice for us.
So here is artificially intelligent Miley Cyrus
with Martine's words on what happened Saturday with the bike racks.
Okay.
is a long story, but I'll try to keep it as short as possible, which means leaving out some
details. Basically, when you want to accommodate 5,000 people at an event, you have to leave the
comfort of a conventional venue. And with that comes, it's some changes and rules that insert
themselves into the equation. In a perfect world, we would just do whatever we wanted and everything
would be perfect, but too many people in this world want to sue you for everything. So people
like us end up facing the backlash. So a new fire, Marshall got his job this year, and he was doing
his best to prove himself to his superiors while flexing his power over sound and fury. And everyone
attending, he made a serious threat to shut the event down on Saturday immediately after witnessing
the intense day. The only thing that would ease him enough to allow the show to continue was putting
up the bike racks to keep the crowd on the deck we built for action, stage diving, and off of the actual
stage. We did our best to encourage anyone in the bands with a microphone to go down on the
stage dive deck to bring the action there, but sometimes it would just get a bit too
while. We finish up today with an amazing vibe. Still thanks to those who attended not letting
a small obstacle get in the way of an otherwise incredible time. On Sunday, we were able
to call in some favors, some medical professionals, which allowed us to remove the bike racks
and things were back to normal, with the exception
of a few backstage and on-stage
restrictions. I don't want to
focus too much on the fire marshal and dwell
on his negativity, but
I will say that without his interference
there would have never been any sort of issue
whatsoever. There were a couple of
times where the park staff
acted on direction of the fire marshal
and cleared people out of certain areas.
But that was in no way any sort of request
coming from any of the guests that were at the festival
and especially not anyone on the
and Fury team, despite what you might hear or read.
Either way, we all experienced another magical weekend and had the time of our lives,
even the few people I've seen experiencing that flash of negativity that compels them to say
something online.
Anyways, I hope that wasn't too long.
Big Boy is incredible to you until I die.
And Glit will not be disgraced.
It's not going to happen.
Thank you so much, Martine, and thank you so much, Miley Cyrus, Nicole Kidman.
Dally Parton hybrid
for those words.
So for anybody who didn't see,
I believe starting with Big Boy,
there were these bike rack
kind of metal things put up.
Okay, Sound and Fury,
I don't know if it started with Sounded Fury.
I have no idea.
But the little mini stage
in front of the big stage
is like the coolest
and having experienced it finally this year
and like used it in its intention,
it's fucking perfect.
It's unbelievable.
Just as like a dive platform.
And I can, this is my first time singing.
Right.
So I wasn't really, the only time I just, you can't be on state.
If you're on stage, the people in the way, way back can't see.
Right.
That's really the only negative side.
But the people in the front participating, you were like among them.
Yes.
So I really liked singing on that.
And getting for anyone curious, my old ass knees getting onto that platform is just like a little step.
You don't have to do the who.
Right.
Which that, that's a momentum killer.
And you know, I got, what's, if it weren't for that barricade, I wouldn't have had that fun moment where I got to lean up on it.
We'll get there.
We will get there.
So for Bad boy, there was.
Big boy.
Big boy.
For Big boy, there was the, the barricade, like, loosely placed in front.
And, of course, it was immediately gone.
They handled it well.
They handled it very well.
And I, you know, and I like that, like, obviously, Sound and Fury did not.
want that there. They feel
they are punks. They're cormon.
They do this because they're
part of it. Martine played.
You know? Madison played.
Riley is very tall.
He's so tall. So tall.
It was a hot shot
fire marshal. That's the whole
story. Obviously
next year
there's going to be some conversations
in place beforehand. Yeah.
And you know, it's one of those things it's like
do you want to have as many people able to come to this thing as possible?
Yeah.
Or no.
Then there's going to be some,
there's going to be some incidents,
and they're going to do everything they can to solve them,
which they literally did.
And kudos to Big Boy.
I'm not sure who else dealt with that particular stuff.
Yeah,
it was mostly the yellow stage.
I think maybe only Big Boy had that,
because during Big Boy,
it got completely knocked out.
Immediately.
Which I like, I'm sorry, guys.
I loved it.
Yeah, of course.
I love, and that's the thing is, like, the ethics of the people on the stage and in the audience are the same.
Of course.
So the people on the stage want it gone.
The people on the audience want it gone.
And, like, there's no other circumstance other than hardcore where that is the case.
It's a public park.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, there's going to be rules and blah, blah, blah.
So whatever.
Everybody handled it very well.
Very well.
Restraining order.
Connecticut hardcore, baby.
Punk rock and roll.
Phew.
Great set.
New record.
Yeah.
New release.
I don't know if it's something.
Keith Freeman.
New release.
Keith, if you're listening,
you know.
You're incredible.
Strangy or,
yeah,
I love them.
Love scalp too.
If I didn't,
I didn't talk about that long enough.
Scourge from Texas,
locking out.
They had that locking out shirt
with like the thorns on them.
That's right.
Yeah.
A lot of good shirts,
man.
You know?
You can,
I'm human.
I mean,
I'm flushing blood.
I love a good shirt.
sometimes you see a design that just speaks to you.
Yeah.
And then you find out it's printed on like your favorite blank.
Oh,
isn't that nice?
Which I need to talk to you.
I,
yesterday,
yeah,
wore a Bayside Union made,
which Jimmy Edgeman was explaining to me
is like a specific style of,
like how Comfort colors is Gilden
or Gilden Hammer or Gilden-Henve-Henve-Bek-Wed.
What's Bayside?
Bayside, I don't know.
But it's like,
I was texting you about it.
It fits like comfort colors a little,
thicker doesn't stretch out.
So think about all I did.
How did you like that LA apparel once I ripped your neck a little bit?
Once you ripped the neck, it was better.
I'm still cutting her out.
It's a gym shirt as it is.
Oh, okay, yeah, true, sure, sure, sure.
But anyway, that's the goal.
The Bayside, by the end of the day, Sunday, you would think would have been ruined.
I wore it all day, sweat in, all day, participated at God's hate all.
Wow.
I wore it the whole night.
Something there.
Okay, well, I'll check it out.
There's something there.
But the whole bit with those
The gold's gym shorts
I was gonna cut the sleeves off
For people at the table
I couldn't find my left-handed scissors
On the way to the show
So I'm sorry to
But that didn't get that
You need the form with like
Like a
Shhh-Sh-Sh-Sh-
Like the sharpest
I cut one with a knife
On the spot
And it didn't go well
So it was the first time
Is your your New Age Man shirt
That's right
New Age Man
New World Man
Jesus Christ
Which I went to that show
show. Yeah, yeah. He didn't. Yeah, it was busy. So I'll, I'll, I'll miss pronounce their name.
Okay. That was a really good pre-show. Like, something that, that's crazy about Sonny Fury is like, there's so much going on. Monday was us. Tuesday was Cosmic Joe. Wednesday was the Flat Spot showcase, which was insane. Thursday was. Oh, dear. Something. Something. Yeah, because we couldn't go. A Hive is.
Oh, Hives of the lodgering, which sold out in five minutes. Yeah.
And people were clamoring.
People were texting me for tickets.
What am I supposed to do?
Friday was the official pre-show, which was gridiron, never-ending game.
New World Man, initiate.
Something.
Spine-breaker.
The boys, dude.
The boys are back in town.
Yeah, I really wish I could have gone to that.
And that was a strange evening.
Friend of the show.
Oh, friend of the show, Miss Kayla got a mic stand through the doggin.
Got needed eight stitches in her brow.
spent, they spent, I was there for five,
they were there for eight hours at Cedars,
Sinai.
And then she was just biving at the third,
she was, dude, she's a warrior.
Warrior, dude, Miss Kayla, you're a warrior.
Unbelievable.
The Runtz were next.
The Runts was one of my favorite sets of the weekend.
Can we?
Yeah, dude.
The singer of the Runts was just diagnosed with cancer.
Postponed his,
his surgery is tomorrow.
If you're listening to this, it was two days ago.
canceled a tour
postponed the surgery to play
a sound of fury
the first thing he does is he starts ripping
off the like no stage diving
signs
because there were signs on the barricade
in the front there were like no something
first thing he does is rip him off
so people are going apes shit
the runts and was this
forgive my ignorance
but is this public knowledge
did attendees know
of his situation
yeah they've
posted a whole thing about like beautiful but like i would have assumed from that statement that they
weren't playing santa fury but he was like fuck it i'm playing um the nicest guy uh i think his name

Actually crazy.
They're two years in a row.
They played last year.
They played last year.
Yeah,
they played last year and they crushed.
You know,
who didn't play last year
is a pain of truth.
Dude.
Okay,
you have to save the,
the Michael thing.
Dude,
you have to save it
because it's so good.
You have to save it.
I'm not,
I'm not going to say,
I'm saying,
Michael is one of the great
hardcore frontman in the world.
Like he solidified.
And that moment was like,
yeah.
Like not only are you good at that.
You get it.
You get it.
You fuck.
I can get it.
Okay, I'm excited to talk about that.
It was amazing.
Pay the Truth are the biggest band on the planet.
But as they should be.
As they should be.
They've cracked the formula of like what a new hardcore band should be.
Tell the breadcrumb thing.
EP, EP, single,
EP, little single.
Little tastes.
And then still people are going, please.
Please, Payne Truth.
Give us LP.
Give us 30 minutes.
Give us 30 minutes of music.
And then not only are going to,
they're going to do 30 minutes of music.
They did it like a fucking hip-hop record.
where everything has a feature.
And it's some guy from some cool bands,
some that are bigger than others,
that they're going to get people into bands,
and fans of those bands are going to come listen to this record.
It's the coolest shit ever.
It's brilliant.
It's hard to sustain as a touring band.
Yeah.
Because you've got to have guys doing them parts,
which I'm sure for Fest, it's great,
because the guys, I'm fucking there.
You've yet to miss.
Did you do it this one?
They didn't play it because we talked about it,
and it was like, yeah, I can't.
You can't blow your voice, yeah.
But man, what a fucking band.
What a group of guys.
Modern Color, that's my boy, Vince, from Military Gun.
This is his kind of baby.
Gotcha.
He's the drummer-singer, dude.
Oh.
Gangster.
What does Vince do in military gun?
Drummer.
He's the drummer.
And he's like one of the best drummers in the game.
I remember you saying that.
He's my fucking, my guy.
I love watching and play drums.
So watching and play drums and sing, even better.
Modern Color was great.
rate gel.
For the freaks, babe.
Lord.
Lord, they brought them again.
They gel did it again.
I feel like the gel spied rock block.
Wasn't it the same at LDB, if I'm not mistaken?
They're always back to back.
And it's like they're always talked about in the same sentence.
So I'm sorry for doing it again.
Sorry.
But you're back to back here.
And you're rocking.
And you're rocking.
So who?
Huge energy.
Gold jacket, green jacket.
Who gives you shit?
Yeah.
Jell and spy both, man.
for like they're
they're now carrying the torch
of the do-gat-d-g-d-g-d-g-d-g-g- Which I'm
that's my bread and butter.
And that's, at the end of the day, that's hellhammer,
you know?
Dude, it's like that.
That is such a good.
It's real, man.
The dominoes are all.
It's all there.
So like that's,
you go back,
Keltie-Frost does not exist without do-gut,
do-d-d-d-d-d-so.
So the caveman B is, is right here.
Oh, can you shed some lore on this?
because Harmsway had a joke for a long time that later Celtic Frost and
Helpticon tripticon
drummed with like the biggest thickest drumsticks possible and I saw a picture.
It's probably a marching stick.
Of like Hellhammer or Celtic Frost where they are just like marching sticks.
They're dope, dude.
I mean, I love a, I'm a 2B guy, which which is a very,
very thick stick, but it's still probably only half the size of a merchant.
Is it somebody's signature, or you just...
Oh, I use the fucking Lombardo.
It's a long to be.
I think Chris uses either Josh Freeze.
I mean, he's a fucking...
No, no.
Corn guy, corn drummer.
Oh, the homie corn.
Dave.
Dave Corn.
Dave Corn.
I believe that's what Chris uses.
I can't remember.
The home is going to do.
But no, Hamsmo used to joke about, like...
Like branches.
They feel good.
Using a huge stick feels so good.
You beat the hell out of your drums.
I'll tell you what.
Do what?
Dude,
standing behind you when you play is really scary
because I worry about a stick going
and just straighten the eye.
That's a good thing.
Alex, the guy who did,
so Alex Salter did front of house
for only twitching tones
in God's hate this weekend.
And he said he,
like, for the second day,
he was like, you hit her,
so it's easy to mix.
Which I,
you never know.
As a drummer.
You never know.
As a drummer who does crazy Phil,
that has to feel good.
We'll get there.
Fury.
Non-straight-edge youth crew,
which is difficult for me.
But God, do they rock?
No, and that was, this was,
this was one of the sets of the day.
Yeah, yeah.
Closing out the green stage.
Closing out the green stage,
you know, like Madison,
Alex Samioa, dude.
All those boys in that, Danny Samuel,
the entire band is guys
that I grew up going to shows with.
And I was there probably for their first show, second show, third show.
So it was nice to be back to back with them in like a showing of like dual California solidarity.
Oh, that is.
I didn't even think about that.
That is cool.
It was very cool.
And Madison has has been putting on for Hard Door a lot recently.
Yeah.
So he was like 100% instrumental in the brain dead thing even taking place.
So the biggest thanks to Madison.
straight up, dude, Madison.
Gangster.
Madison Woodward, when I first got his number years ago and his email, he was, I was like,
what's your email, man?
He goes, Madison, you know what?
He might not want his email on this.
Maybe not, but bleep it out and it'll pop me either way.
Okay, Madison six, nine at gmail.com.
Because without the T, it's just.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
He was just like,
nine.
Why did you do that?
I knew I was going to pop.
How old is that?
That has to be his first email.
It was awesome, dude.
But yeah,
switching tongues was next.
Damn,
we're blowing through this.
Yeah,
we're cruising,
but we'll be right.
Yeah.
I'm going to talk about twitching
for quite a while.
Are you?
Well,
a chunk.
Twitching tongues,
my name,
Twitching tongues is,
I can't call.
myself a day one tonguehead.
Like a day four? I'm like a day. Yeah, I'm in the
week. I'm week one.
Yeah, yeah. You know, because
I didn't, I, I wasn't probably even aware
of the demo. I was
made aware by sleep therapy.
And I was like, I kind of get it.
And then preacher man. Yeah, yeah.
And then seeing you guys play sound in, or
this is hardcore, 2012 on a Sunday. Last band we
we watched before we got back in the band and went back to Chicago.
Wow. It was like,
got it. New, like,
I'm in, you know what I mean?
That was what got, and plus the close casket,
yeah, 2012.
This is all, I'm fucking kidding.
It's all one thing.
And obviously, you know, the lineup from that time to today to this weekend has changed
and things have changed.
Several records came out between that and now.
Yeah.
Seeing, I was there for practice on Wednesday.
Sitting and hearing those songs played.
And I, because you guys.
practice at the pit.
I was able to hear Colin and Alec and all the instruments.
And I was like getting emotional.
Some of these songs, like Preacher Man is such a, I've told you this, but we've never
really talked about this.
I told Taylor this too.
I didn't have the same exact experience as you two, obviously, what the song is about.
But I knew my dad before becoming a born again Christian and Al.
after. Right. And preacher man with a little artistic licensing. It applies to me. Who the fuck is
this guy? Wow. And we had, you know, there was like a 10 year period where I didn't talk to my dad
because of these differences. So that song, when you started playing it, booked me up. Wow. That's
crazy. Um, you guys sounded. Isadjust sounded so fucking good. Alex Salter, dude. So huge. He did,
he?
He?
Gangster.
Did such a good job.
It's unbelievable.
There's, okay, for you tone heads out there,
there's a thing, the bass is the base,
and it demands a frequency range.
Right.
And if you are playing drop-tuned music
and you allow the guitars in,
like your EQ-wise to get in there,
it gets muddy.
You've got to let that bass be the bass.
Right.
And you've got to let the guitars
have little mids in them
to be the music.
Right.
to lie where they're supposed to lie.
You guys sound so,
so fucking good.
Well, thanks, man.
Because the lead in with Eyes of Just is like a high thing.
And then the wind and gan and gunker
once it kicks in.
Has to be thick.
I was able to hear the layers.
And I was staged left because there was some confusion
with security and stuff and kind of got moved.
So I watched mostly from out front.
Okay, well, that's a relief.
Sounded.
never know. I know, of course. And especially, I always would have assumed that doing outdoor sound was like really hard.
Me too. And doing Warp Tour, the guy who did sound for every time I die. And that can't? No, the, uh, the homie, Gino.
Gina. Gino, he told me, he's like, no, it's actually the easiest because there's zero obstructions.
Oh. There's no venue, no bouncing. You're just out. Wow. Interesting. So you guys sounded great.
Well, thank you.
There was a lot of, like, long-term visions that I had from that, you know?
How's it?
Oh.
Like, like, like, the vest and the gloves and the hood and stuff was like, I've known that for two years.
Oh, okay.
It was like, okay, whenever it comes again, I'm going to have a vest.
It's going to be blood up.
It's going to be cut off.
It's going to be spiked.
But my buddy, friend of the show, Shy Snyder, legend, did that.
cut off the sleeves of my old leather jacket that I used to wear
spiked it up got it all fucking sexy made my little X-ed-up gloves
the TT on the back of the vest that was screen print that was the first time 518
prints ever screen printed on leather that was done in 2011
so that I've had that since that's the same jacket that see these these are this is hard
lore yeah it's the same jacket there's this man doesn't do anything without a reason no
There's really nothing.
No, I'll give you, and I'll give it to you all.
The gloves were so sick.
I'm never playing with that.
They were so sick.
Dude, can you?
Would you ever drum it with gloves?
I'm not saying those gloves.
I thought about it.
But like if you're doing Lombardo sticks.
I know, I thought about it, but they were a little, they're pretty tight.
No, but I'm saying, if you got camo glove drums?
100%.
Your drum gloves?
100%.
But we, so, you know, we spent a few weeks practicing the, the lineup.
of the guys. And obviously, like, it's easier
to spend a little more time talking about
sets that I play because I can let you in on,
you know, what winning on. And also, I'm
just being honest with you, you have
this one of the top
three sets
of the day, I would say. So there's
nothing, there's nothing wrong with focusing on
one of the biggest sets of the day. So don't. Well, thank you.
What else do you like about?
We, you know,
Quint spent quite a bit of
time practicing. The lineup
of guys is the same exact group.
as our last record.
So we're very comfortable with each other,
very, very comfortable with the songs.
Once we kind of started coming back,
it was boom, dead on.
The first practice back with me
was really scary
because I haven't done it in so long.
It was like, I don't even know
if it's still in there, if it's still sustainable.
Dude, because you can listen to
in love there isn't a law, and you're,
that's a different person.
Different guy.
Sleep therapy?
another different guy.
Another, yeah, right.
Disarmony, another different guy.
Vocal chords changed.
They changed.
They've changed five times,
much like the rest of my body.
My vocal cords have been fatter,
skinnier, disordered.
Yeah, the,
and then, of course,
we had the incredible Sarah Gibson
doing the acoustic interludes for us,
which.
When you explained this,
I was a little,
I'll be honest, I was apprehensive.
I didn't know.
I knew.
How was it going to go over with that crowd is all I mean, you know?
That didn't matter to me because, like, I know how talented she is.
So it was like, once she starts singing, there's no way to deny it.
Her bravado?
Dude, she hit this one run where she hit the like, eh.
And I was looking at Caleb going.
That's like the most.
She's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
And that was, you know.
Probably scary to get up there.
with an acoustic guitar.
But she's so pro, dude.
So pro.
You might know her from, so let me break down the lore of Sarah here.
Please.
Sarah years ago did an acoustic cover of Insincerely yours in her bathroom.
It's so easy to simply grip your neck and twill.
In the bathtub?
In the bathtub.
Yeah.
I saw it.
Like she and I had corresponded.
I met her at a show in Salt Lake years before that.
Saw it.
I was like, holy shit, please record this so we can use it as like a live interlude.
A different reaction from the Preacher Man acoustic version that I once sent Taylor.
Well, it probably wasn't playing it.
It wasn't good.
Sarah's was fucking crazy.
And it's still on internet.
So here, you know, I'll play both of them here, obviously.
So she records that in studio and InSatial Sin just as like, hey, I did this for fun because she's a fucking gangster.
And then since then, she's become a TikTok phenomenon.
You may know her from,
from assuring small penile men that size don't matter.
Just in scale, where is that going?
Not in here, okay?
So you got that going for you.
So thank you, Sarah, for joining us.
It was unreal.
It set the tone.
I just wanted it to feel like,
because I, you know,
we've learned so much about,
about music and since we've not played music and since we've talked about music professionally
for a year, that just like you want to give somebody something that makes you go, I'd like
to see them again or somebody online that didn't get to see us, say, I got to go see them.
And this was your way of incorporating disharmony.
It was the only disarmony representation in the set.
Unfortunately, IMO, but you only got so much time.
You only have so much time.
Exactly.
It's in there.
It's in there with her.
you had an interesting dilemma in my opinion
the barricade that was sticking up
that was scary to me
watching you I was scared
in the front I was scared about your back going over this barricade
I loved it you loved it I mean you got the
literally got the like howdy bitch
the the cool I had a good time
getting back up the first time I did it I like
gracefully glassed
I did over.
And when I went to do that again, I was like, ooh, I'm going to do that.
Because the second time I had to be like, and then I realized you could just kind of go up from the side.
There's, I mean, there's a vid that you, I think, posted to of you just kind of leaning back, given the, the.
Because that's their time.
That's their time, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
When it's like, when it gets to the pit after three minutes of melody, that's their time to do the thing that, like, I'm asking them to do.
So that's not, like, that's me being like, okay.
Yeah, here it is.
Here it is.
Here you go.
And then I have this gorgeous bit of this thing where I go, ooh.
Yeah.
I've never had a thing to lean on.
So let me ask you, you played eyes adjust.
Yeah.
Obvious opener.
IMO.
Started with the walkout theme, real motherfuckers know.
Oh.
Was Ludwig's Holy Blade, Bloodborne.
And it works so well.
Dude, I mean, that's crazy.
I could cry talking about it.
But if you.
watched the cutscene
that that part was from
god damn
dude jesus christ
oh i wept several times during the set you would have never known because you
because i was like also having like hair product get in my eyes
so it was both
is there anything worse than that no dude
but this essentially in the cutscene you fight this like horse monster
mm-hmm
is that funny
you fight this horse monster's name is ludwig but then you realize that he's the
first hunter ever
to hunt the beasts in the
blood more world. Okay. And
you kill his horse form,
right? I know this sounds silly, but
people who play blood more are listening to
this with tears in the house right. They're like,
yep, it's so true.
And you kill his
horse form, and then he
finds his humanity because of this
sword. You're literally,
the monitor just undimmed
and this man has tears
in his eyes. The sword, the moonlight great sword
is there. And he realized like, oh, my humanity is in the sword.
Ah. Huge. That's the tongues for me.
Got. All right. Now, slow down. Let him cook. That was good. It's good. It fits. Sonically, it works.
I's adjust. And then straight into.
Felt and Gracie v. Fee first. Yeah. Felfth and Gracie first. Yeah. First song we ever wrote.
Which, in my opinion, got a bigger pop than Eyes Adjust. I don't know. Well, I was just. I was just with
pure mom.
But I'm saying singing along.
Right.
I was right there watching.
It's like a new song again.
It is like a new song.
What's crazy is it that song historically never got anything.
Any kind of reaction passed the first verse.
This is my point.
Hit me, dude.
How did that?
You wrote that when you were 18.
Music was written when I was 17.
So.
First piece of music we ever wrote as a band.
How did that feel?
Is that the biggest reaction?
I don't know that I've processed it.
Okay.
Because because when you're down...
We're still going.
We're still going.
We're still in sound of your...
Yeah, I'm...
Yeah, exactly.
I still haven't processed any of it.
But when you're down on the lower platform,
you can really only focus on, like, your eye line.
Yeah.
And your eye line is the people singing at you.
And that's like, you know how I am.
Yeah.
People are singing.
I'm like...
Yeah, yeah.
I'm right here.
So I'm focusing on who's right in front of me.
And like, I look for it's like, I look for a guy or a girl.
or anything, any person.
And I see it's like, okay, is this the right words?
Yep, here they can have it.
If they're doing it right for one second, they can have.
They got it.
So I don't know.
I think one's, I don't like to watch videos,
live videos that I've played.
I've never really do it.
I'll watch this one.
Yeah, you should.
Just to take it in.
You should.
There were points in time where people were singing so loudly,
I could not hear you.
I like that.
Dude, I saw a video from the audience of,
maybe it fell from grace
that was like shot from somebody's phone
and somebody was singing along so well.
It was unbelievable.
Where I was say,
it was like they sound better than me.
They should be the singer.
The set was great.
The vibe was great.
Yeah.
How did it feel?
How relieved were you to be done?
I mean,
I was very relieved.
I was really trying to actively stop
and like ditch the fucking tunnel vision
and just be like,
take it in.
It's a lot of people.
This is good.
Oh,
something interesting happened with Preacher Man
where the first verse, I was in a different tuning.
Oh, explain it.
So I would use...
You deserve this redemption.
I do, I do.
I used in-year monitors for the first time.
First time ever.
For the first two songs, was awesome.
Then.
Once the first interlude happened with Sarah singing,
I think she played...
She had a capo on.
The cable on because, on the record,
insincerely yours, is in C.
So she probably was like, I should play it in C.
Makes the perfect sense.
Boom.
So my...
Imagine being like, I should go higher.
Well, is it?
No, C is low.
Well, if she's got a capo, oh, right.
Yeah.
Oh, you're absolutely right.
Yeah.
So she sings it perfectly in tune the way it is on the album.
Right.
And now my brain is in C.
It.
The human mind is a piece of shit.
It's crazy how shitty it is.
It sucks.
So my mind's in C and I'm singing the first verse.
I'm like, why is this wrong?
Yeah.
What is happening?
And like I'm harmonizing with Alec on the,
I didn't notice until that.
Alec was on.
Alec was dead on, dude.
Alec did great.
He's amazing.
Well, we'll get there, but vocally.
Vocally, amazing.
He did great.
He did great at that thing, too.
He gave his body.
And then first chorus, I was like,
okay, here it is.
Second verse was fine.
But it's crazy.
I've never had that happen
where something happens
and I can't.
Like, the brain is like,
no, this is where you're supposed.
So I guess in the future,
in your modders,
you shouldn't have her at all.
No, I just think maybe she should just do it in C-Sharp.
Or that.
Interesting.
And then what happened to your mothers?
Because she'll be, because we're playing New York October 1st and she'll be there.
So that'll be sick.
And then what happened to your monitors?
And to Preacher Man, I spin kick so hard that spun cut so hard that the transmitter pack exploded.
To the point where my foot is midair.
I feel I just hear dead silence.
Oh, my God.
And I'm like, oh, something happened.
Oh, I got shot.
And my leg was like here.
And I looked past my leg and I just see two batteries.
Into the sunset going into the abyss.
So if anybody got hit by batteries, there was me.
And I was just like, okay, this is off.
Game over.
Had to rip them out.
Were there side fills or anything for you?
No, I was flying blind for the rest of the time.
Fuck.
Yeah, I had nothing.
So there you go.
Pro.
So the first half monitors.
Second half, nothing.
Yeah.
That was, yeah, that was so, I liked them.
They work.
Yeah.
But you'll be, you'll be.
I'll be taping some shit to me.
Yeah.
In the future, I'll be, I'm wrapping a condom around my leg, full of, full of fucking monitors.
So.
So, when did Alec?
So end of, and after preaching around, we did the feeder disease intro into giving purpose.
That's his.
That's his moment.
That's his big moment.
And look, he earned it.
He was.
He looks cool as fuck.
He really did.
He started doing it.
He started strong.
He's skanking his ass off, dude.
He, and then he hits a jump, lands funny, boom, tears his whole shit.
Fucks his leg up.
His good leg.
Blows out, well, it's like, if I'm not mistaken.
Blows out his knee for the third time.
This poor guy, man.
He gives his body.
But what did he say today?
As, while Colin looks this up, as somebody who also has given his body while on stage,
and I've been very fortunate
knock wood
that is
that is so scary
and I hope for a speedy recovery
Alex's official statement
amazing weekend
two incredible sets
I love my friends my family
and hardcore music
I will never stop
be harder
well and then privately
when we asked
Alec are you okay
his response
quoting Jackie Chan from the rush hour two
bloopers. Alec always okay.
Chiqui. Always okay.
Gangster. Legend.
High Viz. Dude.
The lads. The fucking lads.
Congrats to Graham
and my dear friend Marina
Inouye engaged to be married.
Oh. First tattoo I ever got.
Really? Mazzle. That's amazing.
My lad, Martin, beloved.
High Viz is the fucking shit.
They're, straight up my favorite current.
The future of rock music.
My favorite current.
Yeah.
I love that fucking man.
I've had talk for hours stuck in my head since they played it.
But at this time, so now it's all yellow stage.
Yeah.
Sun's gone.
So the other side of the, of the whole park where merch is, behind merch is like where
the artist section is.
Right.
Now everybody, that place is fucking empty.
Ghost town.
Everybody's by the yellow stage now to watch high-vis minority unions.
at Cold World.
Yes.
Let's talk about how it is for a bit, man.
Please.
They played the lodge room.
They played a show in L.A.
Two days before, it's fucking insane.
It looks awesome, yeah.
They play a set in the same city.
It's fucking insane.
Yeah.
They got something.
That's something, man.
They got it.
Special band.
Special.
I like that.
With some special guys.
I like that.
You know, like, you warm up with Oasis.
You sound check with Oasis shrifts, and I like you.
Simple as.
It's the rules.
Yeah.
The rules.
Very special band.
I'm very excited to see them prosper and doing it, like, for real.
You know what's funny, too?
I haven't talked about this.
The way in which I became aware of Hy-Biz was I saw like a, either a tweet or a TikTok
or a tweet of a TikTok, something where it was like a melodic punk band,
melodic rock band.
And people are singing like it's a hardcore show.
Yeah.
And what's funny is I knew they were British
simply because of Graham's voice.
Of course.
And I was like, I should check this band out.
Also, we talk about that all the time.
So much, dude.
That is literally how I got into them.
Give me a British accent.
I'm pressing play.
100%.
Also, like I said in the LDB one,
when I saw malevolence from behind,
I could tell they were British.
You can tell Graham's British.
I could tell Graham, just from the shape of his eyes, mate.
I knew he was a Brit.
Just a gorgeous band.
Yeah.
Playing incredible tunes.
The catchiest.
Yeah.
I get them caught in my head all the time.
So up next.
And I'm going to, here's the thing.
Anthony.
Anthony Anzaldo, ceremony.
This is the call-up.
You fucking bastard.
You son of a bitch.
We could talk about.
Yeah, let's do that.
So Ceremony is next.
It's a secret set.
It's top secrets.
Top secret.
You never knew.
We never knew.
I'll tell you why I never knew.
Okay.
Why I would have sworn to you.
I would have shot you in the head if you told me that you thought it was them.
Ceremony, we did this unbelievable full day in L.A. episode with Anthony coming out soon.
You'll see it.
It's amazing.
Don't worry about it.
At the end of the day, I drop his ass off at his homestead.
and I say, and I, you know, I know there's a secret band playing.
I'll be honest with you.
I did know.
As a guy playing, I knew.
I didn't know who it was.
They wouldn't tell me.
Martin, the guy in my own band.
So this is, this is a, Martin is really good at keeping safe.
Steel trap.
He's full of steel.
Never told me.
Anthony, at the end of the day, I go, are you playing Sound of Fury?
And he looks at me and he goes, why would you think that?
Which was like, that's a pretty good tell right after that.
and I'm like, oh, I know there's a secret man.
Is it you?
Like, it makes sense that it's you.
You said there was going to be a record and a long sleeve available there?
Yeah.
And he was like, it's not us.
So at this point, I've played wolves with the guy.
So I'm like, I'm like, he could be lying.
He for sure could be lying.
I ask him 50 times to the point where at the last time I asked him, I go, Anthony, tell me straight.
Are you playing Santa Feary?
He goes, we're not fucking playing.
to the point where I'm like,
there's no way they're playing.
He would never say that.
He would never lie.
He would never lie that well.
You know,
nobody can.
I don't know if he said fucking,
but in my brain,
he was like,
we're not fucking playing,
you dumb piece of shit.
Fucker.
And then,
of court,
yeah,
they played.
They,
there was,
they got golf carted in
right before the set.
Dude,
walked in all sexy,
purple smoke coming,
sexy looking badass
He's playing shirtless
Shirtless
Shades on
Purple smoke
Corbett
Drives by real fast
Unrelated
Yeah
Their stuff's already set up
And then the way that he walked on stage
With the wireless
Just doing the
I
Neen
I'm
It was iconic
So when it was
About five minutes
before.
Yeah.
They confirmed with like friends that they were playing.
Yeah.
Sierra was next to us.
Sierra Stark, friend of the show,
vocalists of no right.
Right.
Next to the Killedamall was doing merch for ceremony all day.
Right.
She didn't even know.
Right.
She's doing merch for it.
Didn't even know.
Brody goes,
everybody's ceremony's about to play.
People ran.
Really?
I'm no hyperbole.
That's awesome.
Dropped like got out of line for whatever.
sprinted. That's an incredible bit because he had he had no idea that that was true and he
just said it and it was 100% right. The man is a soothsayer. He says a sooths.
They had, I've seen ceremony a bunch, toured a ceremony a little bit.
When you see a band, it's kind of like terror. When you see terror play here, it's a different
thing. They also played OG. Oh, they played H.C. Quick set.
dude. It was gnarly.
It was so, the crowd was so
fucking loud I could hear it from the merch
stand. I couldn't believe it. It was amazing.
So, you know, Anthony, we got
nuclear heat.
But you did great.
You did so good.
I, you know, and we, Anthony
were walking around the venue
the next day. Anthony and I
and I had to, like, there was a second
where he's in his like
fucking pirate
Jerry Seinfeld shirt and I'm like
looking like the biggest piece of shit.
Yeah. Just wondering
like, what do people think
when they see the two of us
walking next to each other?
Like, there's no way this is,
these guys.
Our friends.
There's no way.
Yeah.
Maybe they're right, Anthony.
Heat.
King.
That's fine.
Minority unit up next.
A straight edge.
A straight edge, dude.
This was bonkers.
I mean, in all seriousness,
the last four,
five bands.
Yeah.
Like from Fury on, again,
I can't emphasize enough
how loud the crowd was.
Yeah, it was awesome.
I mean, in this,
the last show they played
was Sound and Fury
11 years ago.
Shit, you're right.
So they're coming back
at Soundifurie in their hometown.
2012 was the last one?
Yeah.
Wow.
We played that one.
Yeah.
I'm sorry,
it was a good one.
And that shit was crazy.
This was crazier.
Yeah.
Which, you know, a lot,
there was a lot of singers,
all my fucking boys,
Caesar,
Aldo,
Goosey,
Walter.
etc
Omar
I like the thing
Omar said about
Edge Breakers
What do you say
Where he's like a lot of your uncles
pressured you to drink like
Micholadas
But like not me
Or whatever the fucking word
Yeah
I like that
It was like me too man
Yeah
I didn't break edge
I'm a coward
Yeah this was insane
Dude
I mean
Minority Unit
Think about that
conceptually, possibly the coolest thing.
Yes.
Yeah.
And straight edge.
And fucking straight edge.
Like,
you motherfuckers.
Come on.
It's all we have.
So I like that.
You know,
like hopefully some kids see this go up.
They see me in the fucking gloves.
They go,
okay,
there's a goth freak guy,
horny as hell up there with the gloves on.
I can be straight edge too.
I'm super horny,
even though they don't know.
Anthony, Straight Edge.
Anthony, Straight Edge.
I know already in it.
Straight Edge.
Cold World, who knows?
Cole World closed out day one.
They're an eternal.
They could headline Santa Tury
every year forever, and it will be good.
They have established themselves as, like, an all-time,
hardcore legacy band.
We talk about this.
It's similar.
It's just because of, like, the generation that we kind of came up with.
You see the,
reactions that trapped in our ice cold world the blacklisted shows were announced this morning
these were banned out instantaneous these were bands who when we were coming up we saw a lot all the time
and it wasn't that way well i mean and it's you know cold world is a little different because
they toured so seldomly and dan wasn't a resident dan moved to the uk yeah um so it's it's still
kind of an event every time cold world plays but yeah like blacklisted announcing that they're
playing again and selling out in 30 seconds is is fucking awesome and it's the same like we look at that
and go damn i've seen blacklisted a thousand times yeah but then you see people how many people we
talked to in the last six months who are like i've never seen t y never seen never seen cold world never
seen cold world never seen like twitching how many thousands of people there had never seen twitching tones
i would imagine we was we was everywhere yeah dude yeah straight yeah straight up uh so yeah that cold world
still absolutely smoking it um
timeless hardcore music.
Yeah.
I guess that's,
that's really the way.
That should be the goal.
And I'll tell you throughout this day,
bands like scalp,
big boy,
Runts,
Pain of Truth,
jail spy.
That fucking timeless hardcore music,
dude.
Straight up.
Then we went.
Hardcore done right restraining order.
Punk is fuck.
C4.
So awesome,
dude.
The gimmick of C4,
like what they,
represent.
They sound,
the gridiron says that they're like a band that started in the,
the call of duty lobby,
you know?
C4 sounds like a band that was started in the call of duty lobby.
Like,
we should just fucking start a band,
you know?
Like that's,
and I like that.
I like the vibe.
I love it.
Let's see if any last minute anecdotes that come to mind.
That he'd had a new record that came out.
I think the day they played or the day before they played.
Yeah,
which is fucking insane.
The sun is my enemy.
Son is a real piece.
to be stopped.
It's gone on long enough.
It felt,
it felt much better day two.
Day two was fine.
Day one,
I was hurting.
I showed up with Tagaderm on a new tattoo that Heather Bailey did.
The Tagadern melted off in this.
Oh, really?
I was sweating so bad that it just went,
came off immediately.
You know,
we're curious what your experiences were for day one.
to me as as like kind of a half attendee you know um there was much more shade little fucking fish
good god heavy water good god little fish and heavy thank little fish and heavy water kept me
kept me going alive this weekend i only ate both days yes only ate little fish and only drank i drank
about two gallons of water a day and heavy water and still had golden brown piss when I got
home. Dude, I think I legitimately the first day, because I have a 32 ounce Yeti that I carry
with me. And I drank it clean at least four times. But you're sweating so much that's a
gallon. You're not, there's zero hydration. I never peed. Oh, I didn't have to pee. Yeah,
that's true. Just pissing out of your pores. It's just gone. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy that
Worth. Little fish, incredible.
The best.
Heavy water.
You know what my favorite thing about heavy water was?
Only cold brew.
Yeah.
That's all they had.
It's fucking a thousand degrees.
Sean probably still would have gotten a hot car.
You know what?
Sean liked the mid-element, though.
Awesome.
Yeah.
I got him into it, dude.
You just got to show them the good stuff.
Afterwards, where do we go?
Brody loves it.
Oh, how surprised.
How surprised?
We got the spaghetti.
I for sure got,
food poisoning.
100%.
100%.
100%.
This is about me, shit.
People got,
people got food poisoning.
Yeah,
got food poisoning
our house of pies before day two.
But the pesquetti was real good.
Yeah, it was good.
It was like a sweet sauce spaghetti.
I didn't get a pie because I didn't want to fuck my voice up before day two.
Yeah.
But day one,
um,
yeah,
the bar,
the bike rack stuff at the beginning was a bummer.
But,
dude,
It's always, I mean, you got, you work with what you got.
And in hardcore, you have the actual festival itself being like, hey, here's a solution.
Yes.
Just go down here and sing with them.
Yes.
And then, you know, you have the bands who go, who like, I figured it out right away.
Yeah.
It was like, okay, if I'm up here, they can't sing along.
So I got to go down there.
Perfect.
And everybody did the same thing.
The mini stage rocks, if there, if there's any, dude, this, I will say this, by the end of day two.
which we're about to start.
Sound and Fury solidified itself
as my favorite fest.
Yeah.
Solidified.
Easy.
Easy.
Even in the heat and everything,
the accommodations in the back
are still fucking awesome.
The catering was dope.
The vending is great.
There's water everywhere all day.
The merch world just being separate
so that you can go and have a little respite.
It is good.
You know,
I do apologize for the line.
I don't know how.
We'll figure out a way.
Maybe the next year.
We'll try this app.
We'll try the app.
Day one, I'm not even joking.
Brody was on his feet selling for 12 hours.
What a trooper man.
I promised him I would help him.
And then I was just panicking about the set.
So it's like I couldn't.
And I felt I was talking to people, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Because when we're doing ourselves, like,
I'm going to chat to everybody who fucking buys something.
Yeah.
And I could feel my voice going out a little bit just from talking.
No good.
And it was like, I got to get out of here.
Yeah.
We understood. Everybody understood.
I appreciate that.
Yeah, dude, this was an amazing day.
Historic, for me personally, this was like one of the greatest days of my life in playing live music, if not the best one.
You know, I didn't get to say anything during the second.
I noticed that.
Taylor jumped the gun on one part.
But he was like, man, it was sick.
And I was like, yeah, it was sick.
But, you know, I guess I was.
cool to just be like, I do, I mean, I know you said five fucking years right at the beginning.
Yeah.
But it is kind of cool to just be like, hey, what's up?
Yeah.
Yeah, we never left.
We never, we never missed it.
You didn't break up, you know what I mean?
No, we never did.
That's the thing.
We didn't, we only came back because we haven't played in a while.
But like, at the end of the day, we are, we are twitching tongues.
There's no reason to ever break up.
There's no reason to play the last show.
As long as one person out there wants to fucking see us.
Yeah.
We're going to do it.
Went back to the hotel.
took the best shower.
Slept so good.
Oh, I slept terrible.
Really? I'm sorry about that.
I just, you know me?
It's like a dog bar.
Well, you know what?
I slept in a little bit.
When the sun is beating me off,
beaching me off,
I sleep so good.
Nothing.
The sun destroys me.
How do you feel right now?
Feel great.
You know why you feel great?
AG1.
Age 1.
is something that we have, we've been working with them for quite a while now.
And let me tell you, I think, I think I would not have survived this weekend without AG1.
I took mine every day.
I took mine, I brought, I've been here for, I'll be here for a total of 12 days.
I brought 12 packs.
Every single day.
And I think, you know, we might sound a little congested because of the dust.
There's dust when you're in.
But other than that, like physically.
I'm, I know joke.
I feel great.
I'll do some push-ups right now.
Right now.
Dude, I haven't worked out once.
But anyway.
Age you one.
A lifesaver.
Yeah, it is a daily
Greens supplement.
You mix it up, little powder,
one little scoop
and a little bottle
with some water,
cold water.
You shake it real fucking good.
And then you suck it down
and it's so good.
It's prebiotic,
probiotic,
a bunch of vitamins,
some fiber.
It rocks.
Athletic greens.com
slash hard lore
for five free travel packs
and a year's supply.
of vitamin D.
Are you kidding me?
By the mom, my way, just bought that.
Your mom did?
Yeah.
She used the code, got her packs, got her free stuff.
My mom was there this weekend.
I met her.
I met her on this day.
What did you think of her?
Can I do the handshake that we did?
Oh, God.
Sure.
So, Lana introduced me.
People are going to skip this because it's bad.
It's pretty funny.
So is that?
I don't care.
Yeah, I don't care.
So Lana introduced me.
And I was like, oh, my God,
because you know, anyone's mom.
like the utmost respect. It's mama.
You know, like at the end of the day, it's mama. So I was in the middle of something.
Right. And I immediately was like, ah, so good to me, you know. And I held up my hand for a
handshake. Give me a high five. And I was like, it's so good to meet you. I've heard so much
about you. And then we did this for about 30 seconds. She's insane.
Age you one. Dude, my mom today. So both they,
One, I had to drive her to the fest.
And she, like, parked at my house,
and you need a parking pass to park near where I live.
And today she's like, she lives 10 minutes from me.
Today, she's like, I'll mail your parking pass to you.
The elderly are just...
They're out of control.
Mom, thanks for coming.
That was nice.
That was very nice.
I don't think she's seen either.
She's never seen God's hate ever,
and has only seen Twitching Tongues play the Colbalt.
During World War 5, she was like,
when you fight,
when you fight.
Like on the downy?
On the downy?
A music teacher.
Yeah,
yes, exactly.
She found the one.
She's hilarious.
Thanks for coming, mom.
What more is there to say about that?
You know, dude,
Brody doing merch for 12 hours is insane.
What a,
what a trooper.
Mac doing merch for Twitching.
Dude, Mac,
let's say, Mac.
Mac, I don't know.
What the fuck I would have done without Mac?

He held it down.
He's a gangster.
Brittany Miller, moral support.

Bo Thompson, singer of Donnybrook and Snake Eyes,
took care of that. It was awesome.
Let's get today, too.
Yeah. We're already an hour in.
Yeah, we're killing. It's crushing.
It felt like we were, like, really moving, but then when we get to talk about your shit.
Yeah, and I feel weird talking about that.
You shouldn't, because the insider stuff is cool.
Just think of yourself as a guest.
Yeah.
It's fun. People want to hear it.
Is there anything else you could think of from that that I would maybe, I should
maybe talk about um yeah is there brodie taking the mic out of your hand when you weren't
finished united we've and then it was immediate i mean if he wanted to use the the main mic that would
have literally been the only second to do it right yeah it wasn't done that was awesome and then it was

like they do a lot
of, I think, I don't think they would take any offense to me saying that, like, they do a lot of
metalcore stuff. They do stuff that's like adjacent. Yeah. Yeah. You know, um, next door neighbor type
stuff, cousins. And to come home to a hardcore fest. Like where they all grew up as, as, as, as, as, like,
true cormant. And to get such a reaction. It was awesome. Has to feel so good. And dude, it's, it's,
it's crazy how, how pro they are. They are thing now. Dude, they're already like,
Like a year ago, like furnace fest, I was like, they're wireless miced up.

Valley girl.
Wow.
Tath tie, maybe.
Marissa, happy birthday.
Fleshwater.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful set.
Next up was this.
Set of the day for me.
You and I watched this from opposing sides.
You were staged left.
I was stage right.
Man.
And explain what you saw.
And this is what we were referring to earlier with Michael from being the truth.
So cruelty.
This happened before I got there too.
So I missed this part specifically.
Right.
So cruelty's set up.
Taylor is their actual band manager.
So he's up there like helping them with their gear and stuff.
Making sure they're good to go, got everything they need.
You know, there are four piece.
Band now. Zuma plays guitar
and sings. His wife plays
bass. They have a stage ride guitar,
drums. Yep.
They start, it's sounding, they hit
the first note and I was like, this sounds
fucking insane.
I think Anthony might have done
in front of house. He did.
He did, indeed. He posted
about that. On his birthday. On his birthday.
Happy birthday, Anthony. Happy birthday,
a lot of people. Happy birthday, Josiah.
Every birthday, Dom Barks. Everybody
having birthday.
But I haven't
This year.
Cruelty starts and then he has something wrong with his pedals.
Yeah.
And dude,
this was like
This,
this made me feel
I could fucking rip the world in half.
Zuma's pedals are fucking up.
You can see he's stressing out.
He goes to fix them.
Taylor's scrambling to fix them.
Michael Smith is on the side.
Singer of Pain of Truth.
He's in the way.
the side watching it happen.
And like he sees kind of the mosh start to slow down a little bit.
And he gets on the mic and says like,
motherfuckers,
you better pick this shit up and show some respect.
Like hard.
Like go harder.
Yeah.
And everybody was like,
yes,
sir.
And five,
like two pits activated right in that moment.
Like everybody was like,
okay,
we get it.
This is,
this is the moment we have to.
It's up to us.
Michael straight up.
Like,
it was incredible like saved it yeah and then guitar was back on everybody applauds and what's crazy
is he went direct into the head it's still hard and it was and like because he has a lot of
i say unfortunately but i only mean for for you know the sonic experience yeah he has a lot of parts
where it's just him no no no no and they're dry yeah there's no saturation there's no gain
when he had to go direct in at first so it's just like king king king king
And it's just like, and
didn't matter.
Didn't matter at all.
Everybody got it.
And I was so proud.
Dude.
Of the people,
like the attendees.
And this is when,
right after this is when me and Brody got up there.
And he was like,
I'm watching a band from Japan
who only one of them speaks English well.
And God does he speak English well?
We did a mini with him and it fucking rocks.
It's what I'm believe.
It's so fucking good.
It's so good.
And I'm watching them have multiple pits.
I'm watching people.
It's,
I would describe it to someone who has never heard of them as
bull thrower with even more intentional pit parts.
Yeah.
And,
and like,
it's like bolt thrower meets Zabalba.
Yes.
And they're fucking ripping.
Yeah.
And it felt so cool.
Yeah.
And I love that when we talked to Zoom about it,
he was like,
yeah,
I had some technical difficulties,
but it didn't matter.
It was still.
sick.
It's just like,
in my head,
I'm a piece of shit
and I suck.
I need to give up music.
And like that's,
the fact that he's immediately
has the foresight to just be like,
this is the biggest thing we've ever done
and people wash,
it was fucking awesome.
He said it was the,
the biggest crowd he's ever played to
in his musical career.
And they got that reception.
Well deserved.
And they're on tour literally right now
with sang with Sugabog.
So,
quit fucking around.
Go see him.
Go see him.
Um.
Glitter.
I,
I just like I can't this this I mean you know we'll get the glitter.
Cruelty was was probably my personal set of the day just because I felt it felt deeply personal.
I got choked up watching their reception.
Yeah.
Knowing how difficult like it's difficult for for American bands to go over in other countries.
Yes.
It is far more difficult for foreign bands to get over here.
Yeah.
For them to get that at the like a.
Like, they got a set time of honor.
Yeah, big time.
Five o'clock, middle of the day.
That's when you want to play.
People are still fresh.
They're ready to kill.
And he just kept saying like, come on.
We're from Japan.
Fuck shit up.
Yeah.
We're like, yes, sir.
I want to see some crazy shit.
And they got it.
Dude.
Woo.
It was, it was beautiful.
Exactly.
Glitterer.
Full band now.
Full band.
Dude.
I didn't.
I had no idea.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was cool.
It was cool.
Crazy, man.
I feel bad bringing up title fight every time.
Yeah.
Clear plays because he's clearly trying to do his own thing,
and he's very clearly succeeding at his own thing.
So fuck that.
Yeah, the Russ and bros are H.C.
Legends at this point.
Yep.
So, Ned, keep doing what you're doing, man.
Don't worry about what they're saying.
No, no, no.
You mean don't worry about the title fight.
Don't worry about, yeah.
That's what I mean.
I'm not saying.
They're not, that's, I'm saying, of course.
Don't worry about like, broombacked Donofut.
Just keep doing you, dude.
Yeah.
Keep being that.
And all you guys out there, let it happen when it's going to happen if it's going to happen.
Don't do that.
Keeps, it's fine.
Model actress next.
The, the standout breakout act.
Okay.
Not to sound like an asshole.
Yeah.
I had no idea who this band was.
Yeah.
I had no idea what they sounded like or anything.
I knew exactly who played in this band.
by seeing them walk around.
Oh,
of course.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And then I watched a little bit.
Yeah.
Dug it.
Yeah,
of course.
You know what I mean?
Like, it was cool.
I like stuff like,
I mean,
all of us,
nobody likes to be typecast.
Nobody likes to like blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
But like,
if you're going to dress
a particular way or whatever,
you're intentionally dressing,
how are you dressing?
Yeah, of course.
You have your vibe.
Own it.
You stumed up.
We know.
You know what I mean?
And you're fucking rocked.
Like,
come on.
This was the,
this was the,
they got the Colo boy pop of this year.
Yes.
Oh.
You see Colo boy walking around?
Oh,
I didn't see him.
Oh,
I would have loved to see him.
I saw the shit out of him.
He's the goat.
Love Colo boy.
Yeah,
model actress was the,
was the kind of,
was the pallet cleanser this year.
Because it was model actress,
Soul Search,
Sing was like a mom.
Right, right, right.
Wow.
Soul search.
Back for blood, dude.
I saw Omar for a brief moment.
Again, we did a mini with Dorian,
the drummer of Soul Search, and it's fucking awesome.
He's the best.
He's the best.
It was all badass.
You know, I grew up with Soul Search,
musically, personally.
They're, like, this is my era of hardcore.
It was like, these were my peers.
So knowing that this is,
this is what the people think of Soul Search now.
This is where they're right where they belong.
You know, we're fucking back-to-back destiny.
It was beautiful.
We have a long-storied history with Soul Search.
Yeah, dude.
I don't want to give away too much from the mini.
We talk in depth about the LP.
So if it seems like we're skipping over this, don't worry.
There's a lot in there.
But yeah, the LP is real.
it exists.
It's
it
it's it's had several birthdays
it's had many birthdays
it's in great school
yeah it's in
fifth grade
it's great
it's great
congrats to the LP
for fifth grade
huge middle school next year
mm-hmm
dude next is the homies
you know what's so funny
again I got lost
in time-wise
and then I heard
yeah
and I was like oh
the bog
sangos songabong
there was, we were setting up while they were playing.
Right.
Which was incredible.
Isn't that the coolest?
I've never had a better soundtrack setting up.
Yeah, so that's how a warp tour would be sometimes.
They'd be across.
And if we got lucky, it would be like Kubla Khan.
Yeah.
And it would just be like fun.
Because you're watching your pals just smash.
Well, there was, what kept happening was like,
I would hit the drum part that I knew was coming.
Or like, and Anthony would just like play along to one of the wrist while a line change.
while line checking.
It made it for a very fun.
Very fun.
A few moments.
Dude.
This was insane.
They did the ex-Tyrant X murder ball.
Yeah.
I saw.
Fucking awesome.
Dude.
And I feel bad because I saw Devin walk around,
but I was always like in the middle of a conversation or something and I couldn't go and say hello.
He was in the zone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As he should have been.
So Devin, if you're listening, I apologize for not saying hello.
But you ripped.
You sounded great.
They, yeah.
The fact that they,
did their full soundtrack. They had their full
stuff. They were ready, dude. So ready.
They really, really delivered. I
wish I got to see this up close and personal
but I was setting up. But everything
I heard was, they are so
fucking tight. Yeah, they're on tour.
They're sharp. That's the best time to play
a big fest like this. I mean, you know, no
offense. Because you're just
the machine's going.
They're on tour for another two weeks. I'll be
joining them next week.
Excited for that.
Sangua Suga Bog, cruelty, dead body.
Gates to Hell,
motherfucking vomit,
fourth,
dude,
that's a sick tour.
That's a sick tour.
Gates to hell from Louisville,
Kentucky.
Friends of LDB,
LDB extraordinaire.
Ryan.
Can't wait to see cruelty for four days.
Can't wait to see
Vom Forth for four days.
Trey.
My little,
my young,
my young boy.
Sweet boy.
All right.
We played,
the gods,
played next.
This was,
so I'm your Mike Tech.
Yeah.
So I'm there.
Were you stressed out about that?
I mean, the lady legitimately stopped me.
I had to tell her.
I work with this band.
Yeah.
I had three wristbands on, whatever.
Oh, dude, that's the thing I forgot from day one.
What's that?
Was that the stage security got so tight because of this fire marshal stuff that I'm in my full thing.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the same woman.
Same lady.
I have got my leather vest on.
Dude.
A fucking, like, crazy dramatic hood.
A mask.
A mask.
Leather gloves.
And I, I don't know.
I look like.
In your monitors, which maybe she couldn't see.
But your gimmick.
Something's, this guy's doing something.
And I walk.
And so say you're me just walking up to the stage.
She just goes.
Dude.
And I whispered through my little mask.
I'm the singer.
Oh.
And then after she was like, fine.
Let's be.
Yeah.
And then my buddy Maxine is like, what is wrong with you?
Like why?
Yeah, why are you like this?
Why would you stop him?
And her response was, how was I supposed to know?
Well, I just look insane.
The last, I think starting with the last four bands, they started doing like a wristband thing.
Yeah, got tight up there.
Well, because it gets out of control.
Listen, the hot bands, the hot local bands, yeah, there's going to be a ton of people trying to watch.
Whatever.
I get it.
But, geez.
Yeah.
So anyway.
Yeah, we, we, we, we had a plan from the RIT to do the Guinness book of world record,
most camos ever on stage ever.
I expect to see the plaque.
I want that fucking plaque, Guinness.
Yeah.
Guinness, if you're listening.
Uh, shit, man.
We, we, we wanted to keep this one like short and sweet, just all hits, all new songs,
and Master Killer.
We were like, what old song should we play?
And I said, Master Killer.
Like what old songs from our old records?
Yeah, yeah.
And everybody was a unanimous sure.
And everybody kind of learned it separately.
Yeah.
And then converged it at practice to be like, you know, what's, what's this part?
Like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
I've been doing that wrong.
Oh, okay, yeah, I got that.
And then I just started playing it once I set up just to be like, okay, how's this feel?
And then everybody kind of joined in one by one.
And then we just ripped through the song.
And there was like a, it was like a funny thing where we all stopped and just kind of looked at each other and went, pretty good.
It's ready to go.
I obviously I love that song.
Yeah.
I look.
I pray there are other songs that you cover from that record, too.
We've done it before.
Yeah, I want to see more.
I don't think so.
That was a one time special thing.
Man, this was the best God's Sade set ever, I would say.
What was the very, the intro sample before the?
Oh, we made, so we, I don't want to.
We're going to use it again for something.
at some point.
Okay, okay, gotcha.
I got you.
But there's,
there's something cool.
It said,
this was,
we got this,
it was a Peter Seal quote.
It was,
we do not,
God's say does not condone violence.
We demand it.
And that was,
it was a carnivore.
Does not,
does not command violence.
Unbelievable.
Or condone,
whatever.
Yeah,
that,
that made me feel,
fucking,
I was full,
I was fueled by rage.
Stop fired up.
Yeah.
I was very fired in.
We didn't have time to check monitors or anything.
Didn't do any of that.
Just ripped.
Rich fucking went.
Dude.
Intro sample.
This was,
this was the,
I mean,
like I said earlier,
best God's said ever.
Yeah.
And that's,
you know,
so much of that is in part to the people.
Like Nate is in his,
Bertie's in his fucking element.
Yeah.
He's,
he don't have,
even have to do anything.
You motherfuckers are just doing it for him.
So sometimes,
this is interesting.
Sometimes this happens where you guys had a viral, a few viral things from last year.
Yeah.
The jump was like.
The jump, the Alex dive.
Yeah.
Or Alex, excuse me.
Alex.
Alex.
Alex dive.
Yeah.
A thing can happen where it's scary.
Where when it's the, okay, here's the next one.
Yeah.
People try to recreate stuff.
And sometimes it falls flat.
Right.
That did not happen.
People are so fucking pumped.
Yeah, I was blown away by that.
It was palpable.
The energy was literally...
It felt really cool.
We had a few minutes, like, extra.
Yeah.
It was like, we could have waited,
but we were just like,
nah, let's rip.
Martine was wearing those fucking crazy gauntlets.
Yeah, the gauntlets and a jacket with a hood.
Crazy.
Brody had the double, triple-layered Stone Island.
Well, we all had, it was most camels ever.
Let's count the camels.
Okay.
Martina had the Warman camel on.
Taylor had snow camel on.
I had on, like, a red...
UK type camo and a
vest. It was a double RL
camo vest obviously.
Alec had a bucket hat. Alec had a camo bucket hat on and a
digia camo jacket.
Anthony had on a full
digi camo suit and a
camo face mask
13. Brody's had the purple
yellow one. So there's the 13 camoos. That's 13 camo.
13 camels on stage.
Guinness.
Fuck off.
And then the camera we did on our face.
And then your faces, that's another six, so 18.
Well, different camos, I mean.
Oh.
So 14, 14.
Because that was one.
Gotcha.
Shit, man.
I mean, what anecdotes can I provide from this set?
My favorite moment where I, you know, look, again,
I don't like to be a guy side stage trying to.
to like take any attention away.
There was a moment when the,
da-tik-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d.
That's my favorite, like, riff.
Nice.
Just my favorite part because it's like such a like,
ugh.
It just hits right where I wanted to hit the song.
Yeah, very much.
And I was just head-bang.
I was behind you just full on.
Like, I, like, lost it.
I lost myself in the moment.
Yeah, I'm, never going to let it.
I, I, this sixth group of guys,
being just a band that I get to be in
makes me feel very lucky
that we've all found each other in some way.
Everybody's got their thing.
And it took us, you know,
seven years of existing
to like kind of figure out who we were.
I love...
I think all of us just
were texting each other after
with just like gratitude, you know,
towards each other and towards the reaction.
beautiful and the fucking merch line
one thing I had malice towards
was that first mic stand
yeah yeah the mic stand sucked
it kept falling you kept
I realize it's your left hand
yeah it's your left hand yeah
and the stage manager
Paul Paul gangster hey
save the moment he said I'm just gonna get a new one
like while you're playing genius so me
and who was who is the bald fellow
Brad dude Brad
he's the
general of the young bros mafia.
There you go. He's the Don.
The Don. Brad. He and I were
just like holding it. Yeah.
Swapped it out. You gave me the
cue that you didn't need it. We swapped it out.
Switched it got you the new one. Perfect.
Dude, seamless. You guys are unbelievable. The new one
was perfect. It was a perfect mic stand.
It's really, so we
practice as a band like
twice for that, you know, which
most of those songs are muscle memory.
They're dialed in.
Brody does not have a way to practice at home.
right he just i think he just sings in his car and hopes for the best uh he's doing great
he's been great he was warming up backstage yeah he's warm up backstage he's he's rass
on on tv still finds a way to root yeah all day you guys played i knew master i knew you were playing
master killer but i had forgotten just in the chaos of the week chaos of the week
the second you started i immediately dove lost it
I lost it because I really realized that like...
Well, you know what's funny is you said,
are you singing in this?
And I said no.
And I just saw you go,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I need to make...
Yeah, he's...
Again, I'm the mic tech.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't fucking forget it.
But I literally realized as soon as you were about to play it,
I was like, this is a special thing.
Yeah.
This is never going to happen again.
No.
This is a special moment.
You know, if you search Marauder on Spotify,
God's hate and hard lore come up as, like,
suggestive results.
This is all synchronicity.
Yeah, dude.
There is a thread holding lots of people together during this.
Yeah.
Big dive.
Big dive.
Got a, got a mic from Brody.
Got a big, big sweaty mitt, just all in my mouth.
As it should be.
That's what you deserve.
Loved it.
You guys played it.
We did man on the street with him, too.
Ah, before this.
A little fish together.
Talk to the people.
So if you're in that, thank you.
for joining us. He chopped. He chopped this shit out of some poor fucker, dude. That was brutal.
He got fucked up. Yeah, that was fun. I didn't. Broke skin. That made me uncomfortable because
like this guy asked for that. And I was like, what are you doing? Because the thing is,
Brody cannot, he's on TV every week. He has a reputation to protect. You up. Yeah, he's got to protect
the business, brother. So he did it. And I asked him after, as I said, how hard did you go? He said 100%. I can't
pull any punches.
Yeah.
So if you're,
if you think,
oh,
I'm going to get him,
just be mindful.
Stop asking him.
I mean,
I'm sure it's fun for him
because it looks insane.
And it sounds even,
sounds crazy.
I thought people came out of the woodwork
just because they thought like,
a natural disaster had taken place.
Some kind of tornado of sorts or something.
You close with finish the job.
Yeah,
I think that's the closer.
It's,
it's so fucking sick.
Thanks, man.
I truly that was, I think, and there's no disrespect to earlier release stuff from God's Hate.
That was your best set list.
I mean, I agree.
I mean, it was just like, and obviously you can, there are other songs you can put in place of Master Killer.
God was that sick.
Yeah, I felt good.
Well deserved reception.
Well, deserved time slot.
You know, it feels, it felt nice.
We were the last hometown band of the fest.
And that feels, it feels very special.
Like obviously we're the,
we're the hometown band in the valley because everything we do is,
is,
is,
we were,
we were born,
we were created here,
we will die here.
Me at least.
So to be the last LA band on,
on the fest,
uh,
was extra special.
I think I'm only really realizing that now.
Yeah.
And that like the,
because any band I've ever been in kind of took,
the longest here
to have to work.
So the fact that God is known.
So the fact that
the fact that God's hate is now
representative of this
area in any way is
very special. You know and it like
Taylor records every fucking band here.
Martine is a
hardcore music legend at this point
as we've gone over
at length last week. The first time I met Brody, he was doing
merch for writing out.
Doing merch for writing out.
A young, a young, a job.
journeyman, dude. Alec is the only non-California.
He's a Great Lakes head. He's a great lakes guy. But Anthony,
born and raised in the valley, the only one in the band,
born and raised in the valley. Oh, really? Yes.
We necker.
So, Jeff, you know, we feel we're, we're fucking,
we love doing this thing that we're doing. This,
this formula we've created of playing a few times a year and going
as hard as we possibly can every single time.
We didn't, and we didn't mention our, the, the trooper Alec standing dead still.
Broke ass knee standing out at the base cap doing the samples, which he hates.
Yeah, I know, I know he does.
I could do the samples.
Yeah, you could.
Moving forward.
You're generally there.
But man, I'm proud of these guys.
He's a trooper.
We just, we thank you because you're hurting each other.
You're saying in.
this whole fest
depends on the people
like the bands are secondary.
Secondary.
The thousands of people in the audience
choosing to use that
that's what you're doing with your time
therefore this can exist.
Yeah, band secondary.
We are third area.
Straight up, dude, we're four, fifth, sixth.
We're just guys talking about.
We're just hanging out.
It's all about the people
and much like last year.
And also I was talking about this earlier,
something I want to bring up
that I mean,
and this is not me trying to like virtue signal or anything like that.
I swear.
Even just down to the friend group level here,
this scene is so diverse and so inclusive.
Like,
there's all walks of life at this fest.
You don't see that everywhere.
You really don't.
No pressure.
How many fucking times have we seen them blow the roof off?
An indoor or outdoor experience in the past year.
Dude, they have one song, and I, I want to, and this isn't even a call out,
I just want to know if the inspiration, the melody is,
if you want to, I can save you.
Well, dude, that's a hit.
I can take you away.
Yeah.
This was a backstage sellout, dude.
The backstage was like flooded of people just watching.
Oh, really?
These last three bands completely, I would say.
This is when we were.
kind of starting to scramble to do some minis.
So I was way back.
I was in the artist's world.
I was fucking vibing.
People were skanking back there.
Yeah, it's really cool how quickly no pressure has become the like melodic,
melodic punk representative of this world.
Harry played this set with like a fractured wrist.
I saw that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which having done that, I know how fucking hard it is.
just to hold a damn drumstick.
And that's fucking 16th notes.
He's going, you know.
He's doing this the whole time.
Yeah.
With his,
I think it was his right wrist.
It was his right wrist.
That's his high hat.
That's his high hat, exactly.
The snare hand being broken is the worst.
Okay.
It makes it like impossible.
Because you have no power.
No power, dude.
You can't hit it.
So, man, kudos to him for that.
But that's also a band where it's like floor time.
Yeah.
No, big time.
So it's crazy.
So that's like that's, yeah, I don't want to get to,
like personally anecdotal, but like, dude, when you're playing with a broken hand or a broken limb or
anything, you have to completely like rewire how you do it.
Dude, I, I fucking get, I'm a little baby when I get the palm muting cut on my little, my
poor little hand.
Like, I'm like, oh, no, so I can't even imagine.
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
Yes.
Man, I really wish, I saw some videos from Regulate at the, the Flat Spot World thing.
I wish they played the main cast.
what?
I don't know if I can share.
Seb shared with me that he blew his other ACL.
No way.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
But he was in the pit all weekend.
He's a mania.
He's built different.
I gave him ibuprofen.
Unreal, dude.
He wasn't doing well.
He isn't.
And he's got that gene.
He's a star.
I feel like if we ever have a third man,
a New York representative of Hardlore,
it's got to be said.
You think so?
Yeah.
I would love that.
He's the third man.
Okay.
He's Hulk Hogan.
He's the third man.
But whose side is he on?
He's on ours.
Yeah, God.
Okay, speeds up next.
Jesus Christ.
These Aussies.
These motherfuckers, man, they've done it again.
They did it again.
They had the viral moment last year, and this year they get Travis Barker.
Travis Barker being like, hey, here's a band.
Here's a band.
I think this is how you take a phone picture.
Here's a band.
Do we talk about the Travis Barker thing?
I mean, Travis Barker came.
and people think that because he was there,
people were cleared out.
I don't believe that.
That's what, I mean, that's what happened.
You think that's what happened?
Yeah, for more 100%.
But it's fine.
You know, what can you do?
Oh.
We'll cut that.
No, I don't care.
Okay.
I'm leaving it.
Great.
Speed was unreal, dude.
You know what's so cool about speed
is just like switching instruments?
Like, they're, what they do is so sick.
It's brilliant.
And that's why.
they are a gang called speed.
I know.
Everybody in the band can do everything in the band.
And it's such a unique way to fucking look at hardcore music.
It's like, of course, why wasn't somebody doing that all along?
Yes.
It's genius.
And like, this is a similar thing, like with cruelty where it's just like,
they're not from here.
I got to go fucking hard.
And then a year later, they're fucking second to last right next to the band that probably
influenced them more than any band.
And they were playing their gear.
I saw Josh was playing
Brad's guitar
Okay
No, it's Sam's guitar
Jesus
So it's just like
How cool is
I mean and then we saw
Trapped Under Ice
At Outbreak
A month ago
Last month I should say
And
The speed were going nuts
Yeah
Diving
That's the thing
I mean
That's how you know
Speed's the real deal
Is there still like
They're here
Because
They're there
their lifers, dude.
They've earned it.
They love it.
They live it.
I'll tell you what.
I'm so excited to go back to Australia with Harm's Way and see what they've done.
Oh, yeah.
See what they've influenced.
It's really what they specifically have done for an entire continent's hardcore scene.
I'm very excited to see that because I know it's going to be like noticeable.
I know it'll be huge.
100%.
Speed rocks.
Good job, boys.
T-U-I, dude.
The lineup?
The, this was trapped under ice, dude.
The lineup.
No disrespect to anybody filling in or anything, obviously.
It's the lineup.
Yeah.
Jared on base.
Brendan on drums.
Trapped under ice, dude.
This felt really good.
Perfect setless.
Brendan hot off a Blinkin 82 tour.
Yeah.
Jumping on the kit.
Absolutely.
Ripping a set.
And he, you know, I would,
expect him to not be maybe as
tight at drums? Well, yeah. After
not, after Rippin's singing for so long.
Jesus Christ.
The boy
done did it. What gives him the right
to go so hard?
Man,
just the most special band.
To every demographic
out there. Every generation,
like there's probably 15
generation, like hardcore generations
of music listeners out there.
You know? Because of the way that
hardcore generations work where it's like two, three year pockets.
Yeah.
But it's 20 years of people who have been listening to hardcore all unanimously going like,
yeah, see who I's the best man.
So we're going to treat them like it.
Yeah.
God damn.
Closing out the stage.
Again, the loudest shit.
Yeah.
So, like, the crowd was so fucking loud.
Every word.
Every word.
And it's like, they played fucking, what is, what is Evelyn on?
Is Evelyn on the demo?
It's either the demo or the seven-inch.
Played Evelyn, dude.
They played deep cuts and people still know the entire things.
They play a Chrome-Ags cover,
and people know that the songs they don't cover way more.
Dude, so I was like that.
I knew what I was hearing.
I was like, man, that's got to be crazy.
And then I saw a video and it was like, hmm.
Because it's just people wanting to hear it to you.
They want to you.
That's fucking impressive, man.
You normally do a cover as a way of like,
Hey.
Hey, like, oh, we don't know what song to play.
here. So we're going to do a cover so that you pop. And I let the record show. I'm, I love when band's
cover songs. Love it. I love a cover. And I love the headlining band of the biggest outdoor
hardcore festival in the history of the state of California doing a cover. And covering
arguably the best hardcore band of all time. Right. One of them. Right. In the conversation. Easy.
But people were more excited for T. U.S. So there you go. That's even fucking cooler to me.
go. The best band.
The best fest.
Overall,
this was the,
this week was like the hardest I've ever worked.
Yeah,
I'm very impressed by
holy shit.
How much you're still doing.
Oh my God.
Monday was the live episode.
Tuesday, Sean's,
Sean Say our incredible videographer
stayed up till 6 a.m.
editing that.
Then I spent the next day
like recompiling that,
adding all the little gimmicks and stuff,
doing the final edit, exporting, making the thumbnails, making the clips, doing all that,
all while recording full episodes every day, working every day.
All while surely being in several group chats of organizing merch.
Oh, I'm doing that directly.
Brody and I handling that ourselves.
There's no, thank God for fucking MacMiller, Jesus Christ.
MacMiller.
I don't know what it would have done.
The dark horse.
Wait on him.

Taylor just recorded it.
Man, it's good shit.
They played a show at Genghis Cohen.
Genghis Cohen, a Chinese restaurant in Hollywood.
Great bathrooms.
Great bathrooms.
Pristine.
Unbelievable food.
I love seeing bands there because I could just roll up with a,
the turn style like Grammy party was there.
The kitchen was closed.
And I asked the front lady, I was like,

Straight up.
It makes you feel good food.
Waiting for the Uber outside,
a gentleman says,
hey,
you in a band?
And I was like,
I had a merch box,
our box with me.
What's the name of the band?
Yeah,
yeah,
you know,
and I said God's hate,
being funny.
Oh my God, yeah.
And he said,
you ever heard of a band
called Black Flag?
And I was like,
yeah.
And he said,
started that band with Greg Gint.
And I immediately,
Gile was like, what?
And I talked to him a little bit.
He said his name was Harold.
I googled Harold Black Flag.
I didn't find shit.
But maybe some OG knows a Harold who played with Black Flagg.
Hey, that's up, dude.
That's some hard-ass lore.
Harold, in and out fan.
In-and-out fan.
So I'm in.
Yeah, straight up.
So that was the last funny, like, yeah, of course.
Really weird.
That is fantastic.
Yeah.
Let's go over to.
It's Q&A time.
Q&A world.
It's on.
I've always wanted to plug this,
and I always forget.
good to. Hey, join the Discord. Hardlore has a Discord that has like 1,700 people in it.
We do Q&A all the time. We hang out. There's wrestling, video game, photography, music, all kinds of different channels. Our boy, Ludens, and my good, good Aussie boy, Dom, are in there. They're watching. Tons of Mr. Brothers in there. It's great to hang out. Join the Discord. There's a link in the description below. It's the fucking best.
All right. Here we go.
Yeah.
Sadd-Sahmy says, do it fart, though.
More than you will ever know.
Holden asks thoughts on barricade day one.
We talked about it.
It was unfortunate necessity.
Made it work.
Yep.
Why is T.I. the greatest?
The eternal question.
Listen to the track.
They got the tracks, man.
They got the look.
They got the tracks.
They got the energy.
They got the pits.
They got the pits.
It's all it takes.
A lot of barricade stuff.
Were you aware Mr. Brother was a prolific stage driver?
I mean, of course I dove.
I dove a few times during God's hate.
I seen him do it.
I did a little move.
I had a great time.
Wow.
Somebody asked,
need to know why you only played on one rack, Tom.
That's valid.
I'm a dual rack, man.
Oh, that's right.
I love a dual rack.
Mostly for convenience sake.
Did it fuck you up at all?
Or do you just switch the floor?
Honestly, it's kind of dope.
But for Master Killer, there's parts.
where it goes
right so you're
tight yeah
so that's
I lost that
so you gotta
yeah
so you gotta adapt there
I didn't love it
but it made my life easier
because I got so many
fucking symbols that
yeah
what set brought the best
style to the pit
style
that's a good question
honestly cruelty
probably cruelty
like it was sick
I think it was like
there being two pits
made it a big spread out event.
So, and it was like, people taking turns kind of.
It kind of was.
And dude, which is very like,
Japanese Mosh style three YouTube video compilation type.
Here's something I loved.
There was just like a slam death metal part.
Yeah.
People are floor punching.
I love that.
And like that, there you go.
Yeah.
If you want to know my favorite actual Mosh move,
it's floor punching to like a death metal grimy ass.
Yeah.
Incredible.
Approximately how long did it take for the barricade to come down?
It was very fast.
There's videos,
you'll see.
Yeah.
And then,
dude,
Joseph did the coolest thing.
I'm not going to get into it,
but you'll see.
Did Bo take out anybody when Mosch?
I actually have a great story.
What's her name?
Presley?
Presley from Midnight Hour.
So on the little mini stage I did.
I did a variant of my Superman move.
Of the killer move.
Yeah.
Taylor saw a video and he was like,
dude,
Bo did the thing.
I pretty much did.
But I did it hitting people, so it's a cooler.
You didn't get wiped out with a...
By Joe Hardboy did not wipe me out.
But as I was coming around right to the end,
when I was going to smash somebody, it was Presley.
And I held, and in the video, you see me, you see me point?
She goes, ha ha.
Because I really, it just would have been her.
She got rocked during God's hit.
She sent me a picture.
It's really funny.
And I didn't want to...
I pulled a punch.
Top three sets of the weekend.
Okay.
Okay. Well, minus your bands. How about that?
Because they're going to, that's two.
That's, that's, that's, come on.
This is family.
Cruelty?
Yes, easy.
T-U-I.
T-U-I.
Speed?
I would say hi-vis personally because like that, I really, truly love that band.
Absolutely.
Parican.
The speed is, I mean, the speed, speed and the ceremony thing, we're had, we're probably
neck in a night.
Oh, I forgot about this.
Because that was fucking crazy.
Yeah, that's fucking crazy.
Favorite song to play during T.C.?
Good question.
And Sanan Humane was very fun.
And that was one that we, like, stopped playing because it became not fun.
Right.
So the fact that we're at the stage now where we can kind of look at the music objectively
and just be like, oh, people want to hear this, that's making our set better.
The Taylor vocal only part?
That's fell from grace.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're right.
I'm mixing up song.
uh saw you ex at my friend salem she oh that was funny yeah yeah uh she came up and a young lady came
to our table bought a shirt and said would you guys x me up it's my first time which hey moving
forward any time happy to do come on up for free happy to do it after five years how do you go
about approaching a set list that spans your entire disgog and also giving crowd pleasers um you know
what really helped is luke wearing the the twitching shirt in that
I think that's just a typo.
Okay.
Great question, Luke.
Great question, Luke.
I think this time the Spotify analytics really helped.
Because I could look at the past, like, I could look at all time and 30 days.
Yep.
And they're pretty similar.
Okay.
So I kind of used, it was like, okay, this is obviously we're going to play these.
Got to.
A couple others to figure out.
Gaining purpose is like our most streamed song ever.
So that's a surprise to us.
Yeah.
but then it popped
and it's very in our wheelhouse
I mean that's one of our hardest pit parts
I love that.
Still don't get it.
Like what's happening?
I still don't get it.
Which is can we, yeah,
can we talk about something that Ian?
We did an episode with Ian from military guns.
He mentioned that when they,
this is fucking brilliant.
Should a gatekeep?
No.
When they're going on a tour, they make a playlist on a Spotify profile of the set list.
Yeah.
Here, listen to that.
Smart.
Which is kind of in line with what you're talking about.
It is, but how awesome is it to see a band?
And they play something you don't expect them to play and you go, oh.
Which, hey, maybe they spice it up.
Yeah.
I love it.
I think that's great.
I chase that feeling.
You have to utilize Spotify, unfortunately.
Got to use it.
Got to do it.
And, you know, like, this is a very good question because after five years, we don't know
what people want to hear.
I have no idea.
So let me know.
Oh, this is a good one.
Need your preset stretching routine.
I would love to share it because James saved me.
I used to get these crazy pains of my knees from jumping around.
There's a thing where you go to a stair or any kind of edge with just the ball of your feet and you just kind of like do this with your heel.
Like you go on your tiptoes and then you let it.
That's mostly calf though.
whatever it helps
and then and then the like
the thing against the wall where you do your foot
helps my knees so so so
so so much and then I do a little
downward dock
and the the cobra
I don't do anything helps my back
I don't do it at all I do a little neck
you were spinning like a motherfucker
yeah I didn't do anything
that's just I'm just I'm different
dude I tried to get over
our merch table at one point I got a
a fucking
cramp in my my quad that was so bad.
And what did it make you think?
Did you think that?
Wow, he's different.
I don't know how you do that.
I just, you just did it like
doing the spin kick thing with your foot
and you held it up and I can't.
Dude, the one, the first time where I went back
over the barricade onto the stage,
even I was like, I bet that would cool.
Did I suggest time up with Buddy's
entrance on collision? Oh. No.
that was
it was like
I was like hey here's this song for you
no no no no 635 Pacific time
oh did collision was airing
so it just depends on what time
the ladder match was that would be very cool question
besides the Brooklyn show
what's next flyover fest
in Tulsa Oklahoma
Wooo see you there
Best thing you ate all weekend
Little Fish Echo Park baby
Easy easy we're little fish guys
Harlow brought to you by Little Fish
Fucking love Little Fish
They're gonna have
have, I don't know, I don't know what I can say.
What, fuck it.
They're gonna have a brick and mortar at some point here.
I didn't know they are, they didn't already.
I'll be there.
Oh, no, they're, they're like, uh, like they'll pop up like brain dead or something,
whoever wants them.
It's fucking awesome.
It's unbelievable.
It's awesome.
I cannot wait to eat that on the rig.
Brody will, will say, well, he says him the thing.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah, you'll see.
A lot, I got, I did not hear one negative remark.
How many RPMs did Bo reach during Master Killer?
Three.
Three.
And three.
Yeah.
And three.
Joke landed.
Woo.
Y2I dream guy
man looked like
Did you see that tweet?
No.
You didn't see that?
No.
Somebody lit, I believe, and this is just funny
because we know.
No, I don't think it was a bit
because I looked at the profile.
Someone said, it looks like
the singer from Turnstiles
playing drums for TUI.
And he was because he does.
Food ranking of your weekend, for sure.
Little fish, anything else.
Yeah, Little Fish in and out, the rest.
Come on.
Bo.
Well, that's time, you know, raging to a band like that.
Gorilla biscuits that tied down.
Listen, I am most, I don't, I hate the term Mosh retirement.
I mostly abstain because, like, I don't have health insurance and I'm old.
That's it.
You're not old.
I'm old enough to where if I get hurt, it could be a lifelong thing.
You know what I mean?
If I, if I fuck my knee up or break something, it could be the rest of my life that I'm dealing with it.
So.
But I, I love participation.
It's the best.
I've been a participator my whole life.
I don't like live music that I can't participate in.
And that's, that's the thing I found.
I've thought I hated live music.
And it's really just that I hate live music that isn't hard for music.
The Switchington's always been in contact with Sarah.
How planned out, planned out was her playing with you guys?
Very planned out.
Very.
out and an instrument cable.
Yeah, we
this was like such a shot in the dark idea.
You know?
Because we've had those, the live interludes
that you can hear in like our LDB set
and the Philly one
that's on fucking 8556.
But to do it live
was just another little element to let you know like,
hey, we, this is very special to us.
This isn't just a show.
We want to give you something memorable.
Was she here or did she come out just for that?
There you go.
She came out just for you tell.
Will y'all let Bo do vocals on the side in what way?
He did.
I do.
He did it.
I've never seen more messages in two minutes.
That's fucking right.
I'd also love to know about your process on designing this entire merch spread.
All the items were hot.
I mean, you.
Let me tell you.
You have an ongoing tweet.
Me and Brody, we get in the kitchen.
We cook.
You are Jesse and Heisenberg.
Straight out, dude.
We do.
We do not stop cooking until we think the meal tastes perfect.
Much like the bear season two, you know?
We just blew my mind.
We truly, the gold's gym thing was like, I was literally at the gym probably three weeks ago.
And it was like, ding.
What the what are we waiting for?
He did.
And then the comic strip thing.
I saw it colorized today.
Somebody did that.
I don't know.
Somebody did that.
I don't know who that was.
No, no, no.
I mean to say that wasn't the...
It wasn't the guy that it was a colorist.
It looks awesome.
It looks crazy.
Yeah, that was his, like, grand plan.
He wanted to do...
We, like, completely went in together on the collab shirt.
The Twitch and Tox shirt.
Yeah, that's a...
I mean, for those of you don't know,
just picture the Twitching Tongues logo, the TT upside down,
with the gods hate...
I can put it in.
Samurai.
Okay.
What's his name?
Oh, his name is Fernando Son.
Fernando Son, helmet on the fucking...
That's right.
So sick.
Shorts are a collaborative, like shorts and the tote bag and stuff are all our buddies, John Bowles.
And, dude, the God, Richie.
Richie is our secret weapon.
Richie, we love you so much.
We would, we would be in the, in the water.
Those damn tote bags, dude.
I love that thing.
They're so sick.
I ain't left home without that motherfucker.
Yeah, the twitching tongue stuff was my buddy James Busma.
and the lazy God
who everybody, he's from France,
he did the Jesus piece last LP artwork
which I loved.
Oh, you can see.
He and I just started talking
and I was like, dude.
And I had the,
so I wanted these shirts
for both Sound of Fury
and something else coming up
because there's a special anniversary
days away.
So they're both kind of in love.
There's a lot.
They're both different takes on that album,
Mark.
The cremated equal shirt is about to be...
Best one ever.
As soon as I wash it, it's going to be my favorite.
That's our best shirt we've ever...
I think it is.
It's fine.
It happens.
Howard Bow's knees, my knees feel fine.
You got to remember.
That was, what, fucking three minutes of me participating?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Thought process going into Colin and Brody's gimmicks for tongues and guns hate.
For Brody, it's like...
It's not a gimmick.
It's the evolution.
of Brody.
That's the real him.
Camo Ski mask,
camera jacket,
camo vest.
That's who he is right here
on the heart
underneath.
And same with mine,
you know.
Rob Halford
demon.
Yeah.
Japanese demon Rob Halford
with like...
Straight edge.
With like,
you know,
uh,
what's the word I'm looking for?
Straight edge.
Straight edge.
Yeah.
Yeah,
straight edge.
Uh,
whose idea was to do Master Killer cover
and when did it,
it's a planning start?
When did it master killer cover?
killer come out. That's what it started.
It was like two weeks before
the fest. We were just like, same
set as tied down. And I was like,
no, Master Killer. And everybody
was like, cool.
Hardest move you saw,
dude, who was Scotty falling?
Dude.
You got to see this. Our buddy
OG Scotty Plagues, California
Mosh legend. Always
getting hurt. Always getting
memed. For the cause, you know.
Straight up. Here he is fucking his life.
Do the Anthony one.
Yeah, this is the one Anthony made.
Oh, my God, unbelievable.
How long do you think until speed headlines could be next year?
I mean, to be honest with you, direct support at a thing like this kind of is.
It's the same thing.
You know?
Yeah.
I think I'll take the stage of front minute after being on base behind the kit for the last few years.
And how hard did you cry after, during, or before the set?
A lot during.
Did you?
Yeah, big time.
There were a couple moments after.
two where I would just find myself by myself, just kind of thinking about it, you know? Oh, and also,
we've glazed glossed, we glazed over this. During a point in time in the set, you, I asked you
this after when we were eating, you, like, looked at Taylor and you were both laughing at each other.
Yeah. Can you talk about that? Oh, sure. Yeah. Insane and Humane. Because it's going to be on some video.
Yeah, it is. And Sanern Humane, historically, the audience sings way too fucking fast when he starts
playing a guitar. So it was like
I was between them. So I couldn't
tell which one was off.
Were your monitors out?
Oh yeah. Way out.
So I was looking at the people
singing going, so I could hear
Taylor and they wouldn't
but then we just all came in at the
but that used to happen all the time.
But on a stage I can generally hear it
and still keep kind of.
But you're in front of all monitors
at this point. You're only, they're your monitor.
my monitor and they're fucking blowing it.
And I saw you look at Taylor.
I heard you laugh.
You do a little like you chuckle.
It was hilarious.
And you're looking at Taylor and Taylor is like ear to ear smiling.
And that,
those are those beautiful like punk DIY moments that still exist in our world.
And it was wonderful.
Two brothers.
Come on.
Yeah.
Sweet brothers.
Did anyone achieve Mosh 5?
I think,
I think the last like,
God's hate speed
TUI
TUI
sang was
like they all had five pits
two
five different pits
yeah
I love
when another pit
opens it's literally
like a cell splitting
in under a microscope
it's so cool
it's so awesome
it's so cool looking
what is your highlight
moment of the fest
like one moment
for each of you
got the godsate
covering Master Killer
I got to do
day by day
and this is not just me
sucking your thing
but like twitching tongues coming back.
As soon as I just started,
it was very special to me.
Gatte covering Master Killer.
Because like you guys don't have,
you didn't have to do that.
No.
You have a lot of songs you can play.
You got some tracks.
You showed respect to this thing
that like we all love so much.
It's so cool.
What about you?
Same.
I can't talk about our own fucking weep.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sick of crying.
How bad did the pit smell?
Not that bad.
Not that bad.
I smelled a worse pit.
The porta potty's behind the stage.
Holy Lord.
That was pure shit.
Holy Lord.
Smelt shit.
There we go.
So many questions in the Discord because the Discord is the best.
And this is how you can talk to us.
Anthony did do Sound for Cruelty.
How did you link up with Alex Salter for running sound?
I think Taylor asked him last year because he was there for Drug Church.
This year it was like, dude, you killed it last year.
Please come back.
And he was like, okay.
I fucking love that guy.
Oh, this is good.
What are your hardcore and metal fest fanny pack essentials?
You don't really carry around a side bag.
You didn't this weekend.
He's getting his, I believe.
With me, I have like a hairbrush because I have the shittiest hair.
Some gum because I hate, I hate, not having gum right now is killing me, but I'm doing it for the show.
a little solid cologne that I always carry on
because I like to smell good deodorant
and my acid producers.
Very nice.
Yeah, my anti-acid pills and ibuprofen
which came in handy.
Oh, we have.
What do we have?
All right, here's my whole kit.
Oh, yeah, the shades and sunglasses.
Oh, no.
Yeah, they got a little bent back.
My sunglasses?
More like wobbly parkers.

Especially for those 102 degree days.
This is a high-all microphone.
This is my favorite microphone.
I thought I lost it, but it turns out it was just in this bag
that I needed to look for.
You just found that out?
Just found it out.
Just now.
I thought it was gone for us.
Show off that bag that I hope is going to be online for you guys.
Oh, so sexy.
Such a good bag.
So yeah, that's what we keep in our fannies.
Soul Search LP, when?
You'll see.
You'll see soon.
Who had the worst crowd participation?
Aw, that defeats the purpose of everything.
That's not what we do, brother.
It's not what we do.
But, man, this was one of the best weeks of my life, I would say.
Most productive.
monumental.
Like this is going to be the kind of thing
where you're going to be like, man, five years ago, that one week.
Yeah.
I was so, you know.
I did so much shit.
You know, I feel bad just talking fucking blathering on and on about
shit that I did at this fest.
But man, dude, like, it was personal.
And you have deeply personal.
You have documented proof that you should be talking about it.
People wanted this and they were excited.
Right.
You know.
I get to go home tomorrow.
Yeah.
First class for the first time ever.
Got a lucky upgrade.
How'd you fucking pull that off?
$200 upgrade.
Oh.
That's going to be a fucking...
It might be a paradigm shift.
That's a car.
That ain't a plane.
That thing is going
into this guy.
$200 first class?
You're fucked.
That's American.
That thing is stopping for gas.
Right.
Just relax.
That's good.
I've been here for so long.
Thank you for your hospitality.
God, you're kidding.
And your patience.
Thank you for rocking this week, dude.
You were just vibing.
I really was.
I was hanging out.
Thank you all for watching and listening and for the kind words week to week.
Yeah, got a lot of, we should say, got a lot of pictures, got a lot of comments.
Also, I want to say personally, I got a lot of comments of congrats on the new record coming out, very excited for Harm's Way, new song rips.
All, like, thank you guys so much.
I shared that with the bandmates who weren't there.
We're very excited.
And by the time this comes out, the day before this,
we will have shot a video with some randoms
who hopefully are listening to us.
Or are in it.
Or are in it, yeah.
So thanks.
Thank you all so much.
