TIED DOWN 2024 STAGE MANAGER, TD ALUMNI AND ALL AROUND COOL DUDE! Doesn't get more exciting and fun than the energy Greg brings. Show up early Sunday to catch them! 

Absolutely one of the hardest bands to ever do it. Glad to have Pete on the show and share stories and stuff about 100 Demons and his other band Forced Reality and Murmur.   DO NOT MISS THEM AT TIED DOWN.

Luck Runs Out Bandcamp https://luckrunsout1.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2023   The hardest to come out of Grand Rapids baby! 

Some episodes don't need a description.  

Spotify Link https://open.spotify.com/artist/1niaaKFuvCppc3r9UThPLF?si=Z0hAD15iTt-tqukkZOWHFQ   Apple Link https://music.apple.com/us/artist/vigilantehc/1715799173   Vigilante consists of members of the old and new school Detroit Hardcore. Throw in a little Nashville/Atlanta you get this badass band Vigilante. With members from Big Deal, xTYRANTx, Love is Red, and Reckless, you get this CHAOS.    Can't say enough about these dedicated dudes. Great times, fun podcast. Tater pulled the shit...

MERRY CHRISTMAS The headlining band of this years Black Xmas is Detroits own Earthmover. We are fortunate enough to be able to get them back to do another show! Anyone who is unaware should definitely look in to them. You can find all audio on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify and elsewhrere.   There is a giveaway in this episode so listen to the instructions in the intro to try and win an Earthmover windbreaker and a ticket (1 SINGULAR TICKET) to Black Xmas presented by Black Iris Booking

https://www.instagram.com/moralpollution/ https://setterwindrecords.bandcamp.com/album/moral-pollution   Been a long time coming getting Jeremy on the podcast! He's been around for quite a while and used to front a band called Fight it Out. Moral Pollution is filled with talented musicians that have been in many Michigan hardcore bands. I can't list them here because there is a contest where if you can name 7 of the bands first you'll get a free pair of tickets to the black xmas show Dec 30th. 

Listen to Fools game new split out w/ Risk from Boston! PAHC at it's finest! Listen to the split here. https://open.spotify.com/album/2vdUCEHAIPQrOFlv6ribS4?si=t7UtH_LpSr6v8wsHgBsNyw

https://upstaterecords.bandcamp.com/track/revenge-doesnt-sleep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xchZxt1YggE (TAKING RESPECT WWHC)   Absolute fun episode to do with the NJHC giant, James STIKMAN of Fury of Five. At this point, if you're in to hardcore and you dont know who FOF is, you might as well turn around and leave. Jokes aside, they are heavy as f**k and bring their own style to hardcore that is untouchable and irreplaceable. One of a kind, and very unique in my opinion,    Check em out...

https://deadhang.bandcamp.com/   Long time friends dusting off to bring you a sick throwback style of a heavy hardcore. So glad this band exists and if you like them, you can support them on almost any platform. Just listen and share their shit! That's all we ever ask for!

This is a bit different of an episode. I love the idea of having the whole band on to introduce them and we get to hear a small portion of their history in Detroit and how this amalgamation of Cold as Life came to fruition.  Ramona (Black Iris Booking) has been booking shows in Detroit and all over the place for over 2 decades at this point. She has a looong resume of top tier bands today that were just getting their foot in the door when she was their agent. She's done so much over the years...

This is another mileston episode and huge honor for me. Obviously you know who Freddy Madball is so just dig in and hope you enjoy it!    Catch Madball playing Oct 7th in Detroit with Cold as Life and plenty of other heavy hitters. So blesssed,

Ohhh shit! I don't even need to say anything on this about Aaron. If you don't know Death Threat. stop what you're doing and go play them Until Oct 7th.

https://dazestyle.bandcamp.com/album/a-breed-apart   https://www.instagram.com/poweroffearpahc/   Hit those 2 links above! Great time chatting w/ Barker from Power of Fear from Pittsburgh, PA. Peep all their shit and come check them out in Detroit on Sept. 9th. With Pain Clinic, Ante Up, Bitter Truth, Under the Knife and Poison Tongues!!

Bayway Bandcamp https://baywaynj.bandcamp.com/ Bayway Daze Asbury Nights cassette https://daze-style.com/collections/bayway Bayway Newport Sessions https://ridethefury.bigcartel.com/product/bayway-the-newport-sessions   Anything relating to hardcore and the letters NJ resignate with almost anyone and it is normally safe to assume it's going to be total bad ass shit. That's exactly what you get with Bayway. You can find links above for their bandcamp and merch! 

Here we are. Cant believe this years Tied Down has came and gone already! The hype was amazing and it was all that we could have asked for as far as I'm concerned.  Shout out and a big thanks of course to Curtis and Jimmy and the whole team involved. It was great to see the tweaks made from last year and how they turned the volume way up to reach this potential. Can't wait to see what's in store for next year!
