Ok Desmonds we are back with a brand new episode. This week I talk to @petexabordi who for some reason still likes hardcore and has just put together volume II of the This Is Australia compilation and we premiere a brand new @milesawayhc song off the comp. I also sweat the number 1 Desmond and box head @crafterxxx who is turning 40 today. Like, share and comment xxx

My guest today is one of my all time best friends, we share some stories of how we met and life back before we had to become adults then johno talks about his transition from pub bloke to full blown fitness legend and non drinking advocate. This episode will hit home if you are hitting the beers every single day/weekend and want that inspiration to make a change. Nothing good comes easy and johno has been putting in the work, dropped 20 kgs and feels the best he ever has. i play some songs...

What happens when you turn 40, you invite some friends over and give them a sausage don't ya? Maybe you have a huge piss up, grab some bags of cocaine and go hard trying to forget about the fact you are now 40. Well not me. Find out what went down at the biggest and only gig worth attending in 2021. Thanks to everyone involved and happy 1 year anniversary to the shinfo x desmond podcast.

This episode is about mental health and dedicated to the friends we have lost due to suicide. Pete bloke and Crafter give their thoughts on the current tragic events that have been occurring far too frequently. I play songs from the bands these guys used to be in and want to highlight the importance of a strong friendship group that has your interests in mind. Stay strong. As one, we'll make it count, as one we'll make a difference.

Me and pete caught up with our long time friend Russ from the punk bands GOOD RIDDANCE & ONLY CRIME. This bloke is punk rock royalty, i have been listening to his band since i started high school and he is a super nice vegan straight legend that we can now call friend. We talk all about the start of his music career, US politics, touring and life in 2021.

Today i spoke with Northlane's guitarist Josh Smith, we chat about the music industry, early tours and the struggles that touring from an early age can have on your life down the track. Ive been a big Northlane fan for years, hugely because of them being influenced by my all time favourite band that is MISERY SIGNALS. i play some songs, we talk shinfo, you know the deal by now. share, like and subscribe. 

The most metal dude to ever grace the podcast and the biggest guitar shredder i've ever seen. Mick is in Aversions Crown, and i used to be his room mate on the gold coast. He has been coming to byron bay shows since the early days and is a full blown yes man legend that gets himself into interesting situations by just saying yes. Listen to his stories and see what happens.

Today my special guest is Joel Attenborough, this guy has been in plenty of great hardcore and punk bands in his time, and is the guy that gave me alot of help starting this podcast because he runs his own much more professional sounding podcast called Myage Podcast. i should say the word podcast again i think. We have known each other for years and we talk about life, music and burritos. what else would you want to listen to huh.

start your year off right by listening to 2 sad desmonds talk about their year and the predictions they have for the future. i play 4 rock songs for no particular reason and be warned. MY MICROPHONE IS HORRENDOUS DURING THE INTERVIEW, but hey whats new. happy 2021 shinfoxdesmonders. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shinfoxdesmond0/message

Gday desmonds, we are back again with another legend from one of Australia's heaviest bands Her Nightmare.

THE SELF CONFESSED SHINFO LORD RETURNS with another load of shinfo for you all. i crank up the extreme burn-o meter for this one as i have my second face to face interview ever. This guy is a long time mate that can handle a burn or two and loves a burger or 4. i play Confessions new song and a few from Sienna skies too. if anyone else wants to get interviewed just come join the tourists in the byron bay traffic jam and hit me up.  --- Send in a voice message:...

We talk about something that has shaped our life and made us the men we are today. We are still as proud as ever to be straight edge even though it is pretty unforgotten in the scene these days with many people moving on becoming the people they originally rebelled against. ill never understand it however if you want to hear our extremely strong opinions on the straight edge lifestyle then you've come to the right place. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shinfoxdesmond0/message

Back by popular demand, forced out of retirement by the hardcore community. The podcast that the scene never knew they needed or wanted has returned with the 2 biggest legends in Australian hardcore. Firstly my co host and hardcore enthusiast PETE BLOKE is back to talk about life after the first SMASH show, and secondly Voted biggest legend and biggest d******d of the year for pretty much every issue in the Blunt magazine poll its CRAFTER. Him and pig are the only 2 guests that have cracked...

The final guest of the final episode is ME. Pete interviews me and i give my hardcore story. Its mostly just talking about touring and name dropping the bands i have worked for and how many gigs Parkway Drive did in the old days. I have a great memory of dates and times so its basically just a time line of my life, with plenty of shinfo as usual. Thanks for the support. See you in hell. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shinfoxdesmond0/message

Here it is listeners, the news you have all been dreading. Is this the final episode? i dont know but if it is me and pete decided to play 10 songs just in case i get shut down again. We discuss a bunch of other bands previously not mentioned on the pod, we talk shit about stuff and i burn him for how much he is on IG..... but more than likely i wont do another episode for a long time!! its been great, thanks for the support, all the best. PS. DON'T ASK ME WHY IM STOPPING, OR PLEAD WITH ME TO...

What happens when you get the 2 biggest podcasts in Australian Hardcore together? You get 4 guys on zoom talking absolute shinfo and saying hardcore this and hardcore that for an hour. i played some songs that got the forge ahead dudes into hardcore and talk about their current bands too. i am extra loud and shit on this conversation and Petes internet connection is so F%CKD that we can barely hear him. Enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shinfoxdesmond0/message

If you haven't heard of the band that todays guest plays in, you don't like Australian music full stop. This bloke has been my friend since high school and has been a huge part in building the Byron Bay Hardcore Scene from the ground up. My co-host Pete and i got on zoom together to chat about the old days, the band he formed with some of my other friends and stories of us on tour. Its filled with shinfo, lots of laughs and plenty of write offs and also a bunch of songs too. My longest...

Today i caught up with a very old mate and suprise suprise we chatted some shinfo. But more importantly we talked about the early days of his band MILES AWAY. Without a doubt they were Perth City's biggest export and paved the way for the scene over there and played that fast posi youth crew sound that hadn't really been done in Australia yet. It was very hard to pick my fav songs so i played 4 of them. This is much more like a casual chat than an interview., spread the word, spread the...

A few weeks ago i wasn't feeling like interviewing anyone and decided to do a solo episode. I wanted to play 10 songs and chat about them. No particular order but definitely all influential bands that shaped my music journey, and the years to come. Hope these songs bring back some memories for you and it doesn't bore you too much.  BANDS PLAYED IN ORDER THINK STRAIGHT, ONE INCH PUNCH, MID YOUTH CRISIS, NOT FOR YOU, THROW DOWN, VOICE OF DISSENT, DOWNFALL, FOUND MY DIRECTION. BARE KNUCKLE...

Todays special guest is not only a legend of a bloke, but I am also proud to call him my brother in law. He was a member of Comeback Kid at the peak of their success with Turn it Around and Wake the Dead being game changers, and on their first tour to Australia in 2005, they not only played at the parkway drive basement to less than 10 kids but he also met my sister which was to become a long distance relationship before Kevin left the band and moved to our country and become a member of our...

Grim Reality are by far the toughest band in Australian hardcore history and todays guest is the frontman DIMMA. He is definitely a man with alot of stories and Pete Abordi had a great chat with him, about the history of the band and the way the scene was back in the early 90's. This wraps up our 3 part mini series of Australian Hardcore Legends, thanks to all involved and hopefully this has inspired you to dust of those old CDs and vinyls and give them another spin. HARDCORE LIVES. ---...

Me and Pete Abordi my co- host decided that you need more shinfo in your life, so today we chat random shinfo together and put together a list of 5 really good songs each of Aussie hardcore pre 2001. You might learn about a few old bands that you didn't know before or if you are OLD like us then you might hear some songs you've forgotten about. We love hardcore and we couldn't leave you hanging for another full week before the next episode so here is bonus weekend shinfo. Enjoy. --- Send...

Part 2 of my Legends of Hardcore Series and today this guest and his band would go down as the longest running active Aussie hardcore band, with an almost 30 year career. I doubt you'll find anyone that doesn't love Mindsnare and thats the way it should be. Matt is an absolute legend and him and Pete have a great conversation talking about things from way back in the day and even chat about Within Blood which were amazing too. I decided to play 4 songs today but i could have played many more....

Part 1 of 3 of my Legends of Hardcore Series. Todays episode is a very special moment for me and if someone told me 20 years ago that id have a podcast with this guy as the guest id have laughed in your face. Even though the interview was conducted by Pete Abordi we have pretty much become the same person these days. I want to thank Luke Dolan for taking out the time in isolation to talk about this part of his life which is now over 25 years ago. Get ready for a history lesson of Newcastle...
