HardLore

A few weeks ago, Bo & I had the special privilege of traveling to Nashville to get an inside look into the making of DRAIN's "...Is Your Friend" U.S. tour with No Pressure, Haywire and Secret World, via our friends at Monster Energy. This was our first OFFICIAL "assignment" on behalf of Monster since we started working with them officially in January, and it's a bittersweet example of what was to come of this dream partnership. We're so grateful for the memories that this has created since losing our beloved Bohan Lueders, for what has now become his penultimate HardLore episode ever. We spent several days with the band & their crew made up entirely of hardcore musicians from bands like Rotting Out, Cosmic Joke, One Step Closer and more to give you all an inside look at their gear, production, and touring crew made up entirely other hardcore musicians. We hope you enjoy this unique episode that was a first and last for us as a duo, where Bo’s passion unique knowledge and passion for gear was on full display. Go see them near you soon. Head to hardloremerch.com to grab a Bo memorial t-shirt for an amazing cause that we can't wait to tell you more about soon...

On April 2nd, 2026, the world lost Bo, and I lost my best friend. I will have much more to say over time... But this episode was something that, upon time of recording (January, 2026), we decided was too intimate to post. We reviewed the initial cut (thank you Steven), and feared that once something so personal was out there, we couldn't ever take it back. We decided to store it and save it for off chance that we might some day feel comfortable posting it. That day sadly came much sooner than either of us ever expected... This conversation, that I am now so thankful for, is a thorough look into our lives before & during the show. We came up with something like 100-150 questions before narrowing it down to this intimate conversation wherein we interviewed each other for the first, and last time. The goal was not only to get to know each other in ways we didn't, but share something new and unique with you all. Now, all things considered, it is an absolute miracle. I expected going back through this to be painful and impossible, and it turned out to be some of the only comfort I've found since his passing. Suddenly he was here, back in the room with me, as he now is with all of you. I am writing this in haste basically on the way to his memorial, so I will let him speak for himself here now. For Bo, Forever. _______________ 00:00:00 - Start 00:05:32 - Where were we born? 00:14:18 - Who had the most influence on us? 00:19:46 - Chris Mills 00:21:47 - What did we learn early about money and survival? 00:27:11 - Childhood memories that shaped us 00:34:10 - What kind of kids were we? 00:44:50 - What was expected of us growing up? 00:53:19 - When did you first feel misunderstood? 01:05:12 - Our first bands and first shows 01:11:09 - When did we first feel like ourselves? 01:16:56 - Did we feel like we belonged anywhere? 01:21:45 - Anger, sadness & anxiety 01:28:43 - When did we know we wanted something more than normal life? 01:32:20 - What were our first escapes? 01:36:17 - Mistakes that taught us the most 01:38:10 - Who were you trying to impress? 01:40:55 - What did music give you that regular life didn't? 01:41:38 - First real jobs, and what they taught us 01:56:20 - What did failure look like to you? 2:00:15 - What part of adulthood do we feel unprepared for? 2:05:24 - When did you first feel competent at something? 2:07:36 - Do we feel any guilt about HardLore? 2:10:58 - When did we first feel this could work? 2:12:03 - What part of HardLore came naturally/unnaturally? 2:16:15 - What almost stopped HardLore early on? 2:17:21 - Honest first impressions of each other 2:20:41 - What do people get wrong about our dynamic? 2:22:31 - What we learn about ourselves through each other? 2:25:18 - What part of the show don't we talk about? 2:27:19 - Public perception 2:29:16 - How do you deal with criticism? 2:31:16 - What do we believe in more strongly now than ever? 2:32:43 - What responsibility do we feel towards our audience? 2:33:11 - What do you hope outlives you, what scares you the most about being remembered? 2:35:11 - What would feel incomplete if it ended now?

Happy 311 Day to all who observe... We're joined by 311 co-founder and vocalist Nick Hexum at his home studio, deep in the old Topanga Canyon. We break down his roots growing up punk and listening to funk in Omaha, Nebraska, 311's formation taking place just to open for Fugazi, the whole band moving to Van Nuys to try to get a record deal, the breakout success of "Down" and the whole self-titled record, the even bigger success of "Amber" and the 50 First Dates soundtrack, and thoroughly breakdown how bands like Bad Brains & Helmet influenced them from the beginning. A truly great conversation and we thank Nick for having us, and for joining us.

After years of build up... We finally sit down in person with our good friend & Touché Amoré vocalist JEREMY BOLM in-person at The Pit Recording Studio. We talk all about Jeremy's upbringing in Burbank, CA, and how he went from Nirvana and Michael Jackson to Sepultura and Earth Crisis... From facing adversity growing up due to his unique speaking voice & his early bands, to finding the courage to sing for Touché Amoré, breaking down their entire discography, including their now 10 year old landmark "Stage Four", grieving to the masses via the albums lyrics, working with Ross Robinson, and much more. This is one of our most requested and anticipated guests of all time, by you and by us, and it lead to a conversation where I learned a lot about someone I've known for over 20 years. Whether you like Touché, HardLore, or anything in between, there's something for everyone in this episode. See you at the Stage Four anniversary gig. ________________ Cool links: • Try AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free welcome kit, flavor sampler kit and a year's supply of Vitamin D/K drops. • Don't miss what might be the craziest rock/metal/hardcore festival in American history at Louder Than Life Festival 2026, featuring our very own Twitching Tongues ________________ 00:00:00 - Start 00:00:52 - Jeremy Bolm 00:02:43 - Growing Up in Burbank, CA, From Michael Jackson to Nirvana to Korn to Earth Crisis 00:23:31 - Finding Community In Hardcore, Hellfest, Collecting Records 00:29:40 - Jeremy's Long, Straightened Hair 00:32:27 - JEREMY'S SECRET VOICE 00:42:33 - Stricken & Thriller: Jeremy is The Godfather of The Worst S*** Ever 00:51:23 - Touché Amoré 00:56:22 - Pardon This Interruption... 00:59:39 - "TA" DEMO...

We discuss growing up in the West San Fernando Valley, discovering the Ramones in the late 70s, meeting Greg Graffin and Jay Bentley at El Camino Real High School and starting Bad Religion in the quad, founding Epitaph to put out the Bad Religion 7", the entire BR discography, leaving the band right before the overnight success of Offspring's Smash, rejoining for Process of Belief, his thoughts on streaming as it dominates the music landscape today, and his favorite hardcore records ever.

Well, the day has finally arrived... After nearly four years of consistently praising Merauder's debut album, Master Killer (one of our favorite records ever) we're finally joined in person for a full length episode by vocalist Jorge Rosado. We discuss his early life in Brooklyn, the Sunset Skins, meeting the late great Javier "Sob" Carpio, being asked to eventually join Merauder (& recording Master Killer just a few months later), the complicated timeline of Five Deadly Venoms, his love for the Eddie Leeway versions of the songs, the rejection of not landing the Sepultura gig and much, much, MUCH more. A loaded episode that's been a long time coming. Thank you Jorge for joining us as we all celebrate 30 years of one of the best albums ever.

We're joined by a titan of American metal (everybody calls him that): Randy Blythe of Lamb of God. We dive deep into Randy's life and musical history, from young punk rocker hopping freight trains, blowing off singing for the band that would become Burn the Priest, battling alcoholism from the early days through the glory days of Lamb of God, getting sober on tour with Metallica, his experience in Czech prison, and much, MUCH more. This is a loaded episode with a true legend in extreme music, who practices what he preaches and lives up to all of the kind things you hear about him. Go see Lamb of God on tour, check out their new record "Into Oblivion" on March 13th, and grab a copy of Randy's latest book "Just Beyond The Light" wherever you get your books! _______________ • Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes • Join the HARDLORE DISCORD Cool links: • Get 10% off GUILTY PARTY site-wide with code HARDLORE and grab some of our favorite clothing brands of all time • Go see Lamb of God with many other great bands at Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple! • HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records STORE ____________________ 00:00:00 - Start 00:03:08 - Approaching the 10th Lamb of God Album 00:05:26 - Logo Change (Papyrus) 00:06:26 - Finding Music (Disco, Rock, Punk) 00:16:15 - Finding Local Music & Community 00:19:33 - Randy isn't a Metalhead, Moving to Richmond 00:28:50 - Randy's First Band 00:30:25 - The Tale of Burn The Priest 00:43:53 - Pardon This Interuption 00:46:38 - Sobriety 00:49:42 - Burn The Priest Self-Titled 00:55:10 - Changing The Name To Lamb Of God 01:00:43 - Panic Attack on a Roof 01:03:29 - Playing CBGBs, Recruiting Willy, New American Gospel 01:12:54 - As The Palaces Burn, Ashes of the Wake & George W.

It's another historic day on HardLore, as we're joined by Frank Novinec (AKA Florida Frank/Frank 3 Gun) of Hatebreed, and formerly of Ringworm, Integrity, Terror and more. We've often lauded him as having one of the best resumes in the history of the genre, and now we hear all about his introduction to music and eventually to hardcore. From raiding his parents' record collection, his lifelong connection with heavy metal (mostly KISS and Blue Oyster Cult), growing up in the Cleveland hardcore scene and starting RINGWORM, joining INTEGRITY during Systems Overload, playing TERROR while they were on the rise, all the way to now celebrating 20 years of being in HATEBREED. An amazing insight to one of our favorite guys. Enjoy. _____________________ • Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes. • Join the HARDLORE DISCORD.

We finally sit down with one of the greats at FYA Fest: Walter Schreifels of Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Youth of Today, Rival Schools and MANY more. In this long awaited discussion, we discuss the danger of NYHC in the 1980s and how surviving it to tell the tale was all just part of the fun that kept him coming back, Gorilla Biscuits being his first hardcore band/writing “Start Today” at 19 years old, the effect on his writing that being in Youth of Today had on him, expanding beyond hardcore for the first time with Quicksand, producing Title Fight’s “Shed” and much more. A true legend in hardcore, punk and beyond and we’re honored and grateful to have shred this time with him. Thanks to Walter and all of you.

Welcome to HardLore.fm… Years in the making, we’re joined by longtime friend of the show Anthony Didio, vocalist of Vein and Fleshwater. We learn about his introduction to music, and how finding The Carrier early on lead to cutting his teeth at Anchor’s Up in the Merrimack Valley. We discover his evolution as a musician: starting Vein, making the landmark instant classic “Errorzone” and their mature follow up “This World is Going to Ruin You,” and ending suddenly shortly after upon the meteoric rise of Fleshwater immediately after their breakout debut LP “We’re Not Here to Be Loved” Now fresh off a tour with Deftones, their enormously ambitious sophomore LP “2000: In Search of the Endless Sky” and their biggest headlining tour ever, Anthony finally joins us for a long awaited (from us and from you) in-person sit down interview.

We're joined by one of the most iconic bass players in the history of hardcore music, Craig Setari AKA Craig Ahead of Straight Ahead and Sick of it All, and formerly of Youth of Today, Agnostic Front, Rest in Pieces and more. We talked in depth about the short history, but long legacy of Straight Ahead, including their upcoming reunion on April 25th, 2026, why he chose to quit Youth of Today, joining Agnostic Front for "One Voice," and ultimately his career defining role for over 30 years in SICK OF IT ALL. This is our first ever single full three hour sit down with a guest, and it’s for damn good reason. There are only so many pioneers of this genre, and Craig is one of the greatest to ever do it. Enjoy. ______________________ Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepod Join the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef __________________ Cool links: • HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com • Get 15% off MILLS VINTAGE site-wide with code HARDLORE: https://www.millsvintageusa.com/ • Get 15% off TIMELESS COFEE site-wide, including coffee subscriptions, cookies and cakes with code HARDLORE: https://timelesscoffee.com/ _____________________ FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepod SPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrp APPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE _____________ 00:00:00 - Start 00:02:39 - Young Craig Setari, Growing Up in Queens 00:06:08 - Dan Lilker & Discovering Bass Guitar 00:11:00 - Meeting Tommy Carroll 00:12:09 - NYC Mayhem, The First Blast Beat 00:22:26 - Straight Ahead (is back) 00:29:06 - Straight Ahead Discography 00:35:17 - Youth of Today, Playing on "Break Down The Walls" 00:49:58 - Quitting Youth of Today 00:53:41 - Recording "Breakaway" 01:03:47 - Craig & Armand 40 Years Later, Looking Back at Straight Ahead 01:08:52 - Daniel Rakowitz 01:11:04 - Lower East Side 01:18:48 - Straight Ahead Reunion in 1988, Pete's Sake Benefit Show 01:22:34 - Joining Agnostic Front, Going in With Sneakers & Leaving With Boots 01:34:27 - Pardon This Interruption... 01:38:26 - "One Voice" & Matt Henderson 01:46:18 - BJ Papas 01:50:16 - Helping Sick of it All with "Blood, Sweat & No Tears" 01:56:50 - Officially Joining Sick of it All 02:01:48 - The Double Bass Strap 02:06:02 - Scratch The Surface 02:08:47 - Step Down Music Video 02:16:46 - Europe Becoming the Hardcore Hub 02:18:17 - Built To Last 02:24:45 - MAFIA 02:27:02 - Touring in 95-99 02:27:57 - Call To Arms 02:37:38 - Mobb Deep Using The Dragon 02:40:21 - Big Foot 02:46:36 - What's Changed for Sick of it All? 02:55:59 - Modern Bands Carrying The Torch 02:57:52 - Stand Out CBGB's Moment 03:00:10 - Fast Food 03:02:38 - Top 4 HC records Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're finally joined by Floorpunch vocalist Mark Porter for an in-depth, comprehensive conversation about the entire history of one of the best straight edge hardcore bands ever. From the first time Porter witnessed someone Floorpunching at a show, their initial formation after being collectively frustrated at a Snapcase show while lamenting what hardcore had become by 1995, all the way through to their legendary "last show" at CBGBs with Breakdown and the Cro-Mags. Grab your copy of Shining Life Press' incredible Floorpunch book, follow along with this extensive firsthand account of Floorpunch from 1995-2000 (and beyond) and enjoy this amazing episode with a bucket list guest for us and a band we love. _______________________ Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepod Join the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links: HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com Visit GUILTY PARTY, our favorite menswear store in North America and get 10% off site-wide with code HARDLORE: https://www.guiltyparty.co Try AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free hat, flavor sampler kit, vitamin D/K drops, and an AGZ sample.

We're joined by alternative music legend Anthony Green, former vocalist of Circa Survive & Saosin and currently of L.S. Dunes. We sit down in person on the S.S. Neverender to discuss his life in music, from being in bands like Jeer at Rome and Audience of One as a teenager, to joining and quickly quitting Saosin after leaving his permanent mark on the band and an entire genre, starting Circa Survive immediately upon returning home, their recent (definitive) break up, the unexpected shock of being asked to join L.S. Dunes, and battling addiction through it all/balancing fatherhood for the last 15 years. Thank you to Anthony for joining us and to all of you for watching this incredibly honest, thorough discussion with a truly one of a kind artist. ______________________ Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepod Join the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links: HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com Visit GUILTY PARTY, our favorite menswear store in North America and get 10% off site-wide with code HARDLORE: https://www.guiltyparty.co Try AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free hat, flavor sampler kit, vitamin D/K drops, and an AGZ sample.
