"Moshing with tears in my eyes" perfectly describes my experience during the entire Have Heart set in Detroit.

[@beartyler]

Can't believe the Hardlore discord isn't called Hardcord

[@blakesmith8293]

Atlanta has a great hardcore scene right now. Kongstyle, Knife Wound, Deal With It, Can’t Keep Up, Strangle You, Numbskull, Ballistic Ax, Symbiote, Living in Fear, Turn Cold, Die With Me, the list goes on. Great smaller venues in the area as well. Hardcore is alive and well in Atlanta boys.

[@benkohler4360]

I'm from Virginia but I heard them say smaller HC in Atlanta is having a rough patch and I went "what??" out loud. Lots of good shit coming from there over the past couple of years, especially in the Designated Moshers Unit realm

[@andresperez1151]

Turn Cold and Living in Fear are haaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrddddddd.... So much fun, I can't wait to see them again .... I'm 49 and I'm going to spin kick and risk it all for Turn Cold

[@jyuhasz]

shout out Knife wound, always playing Jacksonville

[@xwinterxendsx]

agonize dudes from savannah rock

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

Makes me happy to hear that. When I was in high school in the early 2010's and hanging out in Little 5 Points, it was hard getting exposed to "real" hardcore in a time dominated by Rise Records bands. I still remember some of the old heads in the scene who exposed me to Terror and TUI, and that music stuck with me. Come 2019, I check back in, and the scene is vibrant in a whole new way. Beautiful. Hardcore never dies.

[@flormbis]

Hardlore and Elden Ring DLC in one day, one of the most blessed Thursdays of all time

[@jonathananderson5135]

The Madi clip gave me chills. So amazing.

[@geitruck]

meeting bo on this tour made me realize that Colin is not the 7 foot giant I envisioned him to be in my head

[@kaylonsinghurst]

lol wat

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

How tall ??

[@RjSlash1990]

I'm happy that Bo tried cookout, he knows what's up now

[@LBOTrecords]

My favorite part of this podcast is when you gave Ringworm their flowers. 💐

[@hclyrics]

Hardlore has to be my current favorite food podcast on KZbin.

[@oyepvokadub6522]

spooky intro. Bo is becoming a believer. the end is near guys.

[@corycourtney8923]

Smoothest transition to the AG1 public service announcement yet. Can't wait till they drop AG2. It's gunna be lit.

[@kierenbuckley370]

it does feel like hardcore music is in a boom period right now

[@bitterthings6216]

Remember that person referred to Colin as “Cloin”? Still on that.

[@Debbrasaurus]

Haywire getting people going side to side during the sweet Caroline intro will always be sick

How bout nooo!

lol random, prolly would never happen

Need a Hardlore x Ian Fidance crossover

[@KrisButt]

maybe if ian would stop bein a hatin POS on sonny

[@joshuaclouser1415]

So that Ian can laugh at himself the whole time and talk over everyone?? This is a terrible idea.

[@zaevho]

@@joshuaclouser1415 I feel like Colin and Ian would riff and it would be hilarious. What podcaster doesn’t interrupt and talk over everyone?

[@thechantz666]

7:29 “you got a fast car” Colin you are stooooopid 🤣

[@abscesstooth6922]

colin having stage freight with pissing is so funny to me.

[@tylerjacobs2200]

Bo, we've had like 2-3 tornados in the city limits of Chicago in the last couple of years. They happened during daylight hours, so you're forgiven if you were asleep at the time, but you might want to work on your weather radio setup.

[@MrTrap-xo2my]

Dang, no wonder they didn't have my size in ATL.

[@ashleyschafferbmw8711]

Bell Witch literally a couple tracks

[@bigsleep1340]

🤣

[@morganfannon7936]

I missed the Memorial Day show at Soundstage because of the tornado. Sooooooo devastated! My brother was there and had the best time

[@morganfannon7936]

Next time you’re in the DC/MD/VA area I’ll take you to Fogo 😂

[@misterbaker9728]

I’m old head. 47 Already got my Kublai Kahn tickets for Cleveland and of course I am going to see Harms Way when they come here in November with carcass and hatebreed. I’m from Cleveland

[@SomeCallMeSven]

Fantastic episode! For as awesome as Momentum, Judiciary and Sunami were, I was bummed Harms Way wasn’t on the first leg. Woulda been so cool. I’ve gotten into all your bands from watching Hardlore and hopefully will be able to see you guys live at some point. Really looking forward to that Vinny Stigma episode btw!

[@BeagleThirteen]

Great episode as usual. Can’t get enough hardlore! One thing I’d like to correct…I did in fact go to the 10 for 10 hxc tour at the metro in Chicago. But you’re right in the point you were saying. It definitely wasn’t at capacity back then. I also went to the good good tour day 2 at the metro in Chicago and that mother fucker was packed. Phenomenal show by all. ❤

[@M2HSINGER]

John Edwards is a homie of mine. Love seeing the homie getting his flowers

[@waknart3559]

brooo yes thank you for speaking on 40 watt

[@Paralyzedtapdancer]

By any chance does anyone remember what episode it was where they explain the origin of couple tracks?

[@HoldenSXE]

Jasta I’m pretty sure

[@VitrificationOfBlood]

Rip Lou Reed, couple tracks😂

[@Paralyzedtapdancer]

@@VitrificationOfBloodneed a Todd jones episode 😂

Bad albums by great bands is the one I think

[@LowendNate]

I'm glad to hear you guys rep Houston loved seeing you play and glad to see you understand how us Houstonians Live in this wet seasson thats barely started LUL

[@user-ym1iw2eo9v]

Disorder Vinyl is helping keep Atlanta HC strong!

[@blainetidwell7446]

The other big Quiet Riot banger is Metal Health. You’ll know it for sure

[@OscarLedesma-ep6jj]

Being from SoFlo, it’s super cool to hear the shoutout to Equinox. Jeff has always been a hardcore hustler for us down south.

[@lynnpehrson8826]

Good luck is so good.. my favorite TT song

[@jacob7741]

lifetime Louisiana resident here, hearing bo say he loved the deep south made me smile. One day we will have a good enough hardcore scene down here for the bands to regularly come thru. Also with the southern prom kids venn diagram being a completely different circle, there is probably some sleeper hardcore kids in there. With it being such a foreign scene to the deep south alot of us had to keep that side of us hidden to avoid being ousted from involvement, bc we had nowhere else to go if so lol

[@TheRooster04]

Ngl I was shocked when I found out about Capra. I was like “where the hell were these guys??” I feel like heavy music in general is in a slump when it comes to Louisiana, especially for like mid-tier bands. I’m sure we have some local heavy bands and that shows are happening but I imagine it’s a lot better for them to hit the grind out in Texas than over here.

[@bulldog97-du2ij]

Bo probably saw Luka Dončić, not Nikola Jokić. Jokić plays for the Nuggets, and the Nuggets were eliminated to early to play the Mavs.

[@bomonttyler]

i was gonna say. I was flabbergasted but I don't expect Bo to know the ins and outs of the NBA

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

KublaiKhanTX taking out Sunami, Judiciary, and Momentum was one of the best shows I have ever been too, as well as my lovely fiances' first hardcore show.

[@the_real_tay_loud2072]

People sleep and hate on Momentum

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

​@@the_real_tay_loud2072it's a damn shame too. They not only have incredible riffs, but they are incredible songwriters too.

[@PoorBoyMinorKey]

Went to the Boston and Baltimore shows. Thought the Boston show was much better. Both ruled, though.

[@heyitsf1eeb]

As a STL native, I would agree that the fubar area is the only part of town, aside from the duck room on the loop

[@jackbarrett8065]

cookout’s banana pudding shake is the ichor of the gods. s tier shake.

[@cjklemonski1938]

Next year is 20 for justice replaced by revenge not 25th. I wrote the riffs for devils kiss and went over it with them in April 2004, went back to Cleveland in October and heard the unfinished mix

[@boofinmid4047]

Kublai Khan has to be one of the hardest working bands in the world currently.

[@kaylonsinghurst]

Their set from LDB 2024 is my favorite of theirs on KZbin.

[@BenBelty]

No one outside of Cleveland will understand Mushroomhead and their relationship to HC. You ain’t a Cleveland hardcore kid if you didn’t have to sit through literally 40 numetal bands at Peabodys to see Ringworm play at 2am on a Mushroomhead headliner show and be prepared do brawl with some of the wackiest people in the world.

[@xile_hc]

I pressed 👍 right on the suggodeez

[@ChaseKalandia]

Shout out Matt! Buffalo local

[@steez93]

South Florida Equinox Booking mentioned. SFL is popping off in the DIY space right now. Shout out Above Death, Brainwashed, and All But One booking.

[@WillBratt]

Brothers, a gizzard isn’t what you think it is. The thing you referenced is a wattle. A gizzard is part of the digestive system

[@HoldenSXE]

It’s hardlore time

[@Debbrasaurus]

King Nine also played Boston

[@DCLXVI-di3jz]

warmed my antipodean heart to hear GC dropped on an American podcast

[@LeftySupreme]

I was at that Little Rock show and that sounds guy was straight ass cheeks. Could barely hear guitars all night. Still a killer show but you all should have sounded massive in that room!

[@roccomastroianni6153]

@@JohnnyGingyas someone who’s currently going through the same thing right now, I doubt Matt’s first thing he wants to do with his “down time” is be on a podcast. Also you have to think that these guys have shit planned out for weeks and weeks at a time.

@@roccomastroianni6153 yeah true you never know everyone is different. I know he’s said in the past he likes to stay busy. He’s always got something going… music, hair cutting, tattoos.

colin how did you forget about king nine ?

[@89PunkWhite]

Just wanted to give a correction. The mural in Dallas was for sure Luka Doncic not Jokic. No hate but wanted to contribute 😂

[@anthonyletitin]

Referring to yourself as a Cherubic Angel is fucking crazy

[@alexmartin51]

I really hope you recorded an episode with Aaron!

[@samvanharen2382]

Colin should hit up Olympia Washington for coffee, he'd love it

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

Based on his coffee shop specifications, I’m shocked he doesn’t play the PNW more often. That’s pretty much every single coffee place up in Vancouver too lol
