HardLore's Day In Manchester (Featuring Jimmy from Higher Power)

In this very special HardLore episode that's the first of its kind, Colin and Bo spent an eventful day in Manchester, United Kingdom and put it all together into one great big deluxe video presentation, featuring three chapters...
Chapter I: They walked through Manchester with Jimmy Wizard, Higher Power's vocalist prior to Outbreak Fest 2023 and learned about Jimmy's entry into hardcore, Higher Power's evolution as a band, and much more.
Chapter II: They sampled the apparent best of the best iced coffee that Manchester has to offer.
Chapter III: They toured the menu at a British McDonald's and compared it to what they're used to at home.

The Manchester worker bee is one of the best-known symbols of Manchester and has been an emblem for the city for over 150 years. The bee denotes Mancunians' hard work ethic and the city being a hive of activity. It has also come to represent the sense of unity in our great city.

[@drvoncheezit]

The first 5 tracks of 27 Miles Underwater is an insane run. Super stoked for this episode.

[@DazzzTube]

First 5? At least 6, passenger is one of their best tracks! 😂

[@kefs123]

Agreed, Drag The Line is a heavily underrated closer as well.

[@andymansell1052]

Bo's reaction to McDonisseurs was the most wholesome thing ever!

[@_antisocial__]

Hardlore be thy name

[@DrummerEvan1]

Never thought I’d see this episode! It’s Hardlore time!

[@jbasti227]

Knocked Loose/The Acacia Strain/Harms Way/Higher Power tour sounds INSANE. So bummed I missed that

[@Dann1303]

Jimmy is the man glad to see this!

[@TheAnglishDire]

Always need more content featuring Top Shagger Jimmy Wizard, bring him back!

[@kimthaelf]

I LOVE JIMMMYYY!!!! AND HIGHER POWER!!! they are absolutely amazing

[@armandobueno6888]

Never heard of this dude or band. Thank you for spreading the word. Probably one of the best 90's influenced modern bands I've heard

[@kevxxxedge]

Yep, they're incredible.

[@diazable]

it really feels like you hanging with the homies when hardlore is one

[@holey-stone]

jimmy looks like the english version of mac demarco

[@withafrown]

The "A little too.. East Germany for me.." off the cuff was crazy 😂

[@CH-ml4rz]

Ecstatic to hear the intro done CORRECTLY. Thank Lore!

[@bengreenbank]

Can't believe you got a southerner to show you around.

[@andymansell1052]

Leeds?

[@bengreenbank]

@@andymansell1052 Not in a million years is that a Leeds/West Yorkshire accent. Guy is a southerner who moved to Leeds as an adult.

[@Vb98765]

​@@bengreenbankwell he was in Abolition first who were a London band

[@InvisibleTormentor]

Oh yeah it’s Hardlore time baby!

[@jacobdent7884]

Boys, I watched the sode and checked Higher Power out. Ho Lee Shet, they’re awesome. Thanks y’all.

[@numbertwelvefan93]

So surreal seeing my city here. Sad I didn't get to say hi to you's on the first day of Outbreak but I did see you guys while I was queuing to get in

[@andytuck99]

who up harding their lore rn

[@JjsWorld77]

The lore is strong. Kinda uncomfortable with how u used the word "hard"😂😂😂

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

Just woke up my lore is as hard as it could be

[@EditorJord]

my lore rock hard 24/7

[@sMoKEy131]

"The McWrap tastes like East Germany...." 🤣btw. Great Episode (like always) ! greetings from Germany!

[@SBeckerDTD]

What a perfect day off.

[@Robv93]

Jimmy is the MAN. Super nice guy who makes fantastic music. Need a follow up to 27 Miles Underwater, lads!

[@jlayton2335]

Not the crumb of mcflurry biscoff on Colin's chin the whole last 3 minutes of this episode. Bo didn't help ya boi

[@colinyovng]

You can SEE him looking down at it and not tell me about it…. Scum

[@Bobaruski22]

It’s hardlore time!

[@joshuampayne]

Mina Freat

[@ThronezOfBlood4262]

36:48, No matter where you are in the world, whatever city or country, you can guarantee that Onslaught - Power From Hell record will be right in the front of the punk/metal section of any record store.

[@grendelson]

What a saga! I laughed, I cried, I got hungry and I cried again. Truly groundbreaking journalistic work with a guide who clearly knew everything there is to know about ol' Manchester.

[@death_crusher]

Love Colin's 'andelma' shirt. Nightfall is a great album.

[@LBOTrecords]

Abolition was popping off when I lived in London. Shit was hard.

[@shredfacelift]

jimmy in the iration steppas shirt !!!! sound system culture meets hardlore

[@MundaneBacklot]

This was a masterpiece.

[@dollyfarton666]

im from long island. "you good' means like 15 different things

[@andylyon3859]

I’m always down for some stories from tour 🙂

[@VitrificationOfBlood]

Hell yeah it’s hardcore time baby

[@mitchstevens4789]

Noel Gallagher just said the other day that Definitely Maybe was the "last great punk album"

[@bluenitriletouch2842]

Hardlore is my favorite food-themed podcast

[@Ayres724]

Lore be Hard AF

[@MattXIIXCurtis]

Manchester Bees: Industrial area - busy as a bee.

[@jaimesuffering]

starting the 1st ever straight edge stoner gang who with me

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

I’m up for that

[@JjsWorld77]

❤❤ this show. Middle aged HxCx rules. For reference I am 48. But Hardcore is a way of life. You never outgrow it

[@casualt1927]

Check out Hawkesmoor next time you're manchester. Beautiful place, locally sourced meats, and a killer burger. Definitely one of the best examples of a british steakhouse done right. But if you just want a big dumbass burger head to Burgerism in Escape To Freight Island, it fucking GOES

[@keagsface]

HARDLORE HATES LITTER. Didn't think I could love you dudes more.

[@gnarxy]

That "andlema" tank is dope

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

The British vernacular continues to bemuse me. I’d only say “you good?” if I was genuinely concerned about someone’s health and safety. But between this and the Chubby episode I feel extremely educated on the intricacies of British culture. Also Bo describing the foundation coffee as milk reminds me of a traumatic experience in which I asked for a black iced coffee at Tim Hortons and they gave me what I can only describe as a glass of milk

[@straitshooter88]

as a 13th generation South Carolinan it's hardlore time

[@Carlo.WTF416]

Fellas, the key to black iced americanos is going to a place that has single origin beans. Trust a former cold brewman who drinks these consistently now.

[@_arfarf_x]

my dad was spitting facts about tears for fears, shit changed me when i finally realized he was right

[@kevxxxedge]

For the people interested in the origin of the bee-symbol: "The bee is the symbol of Manchester and this city of industry is rightly proud of its link with the hard-working insect. In 1842, the early city fathers had to decide on a coat of arms that would tell the world who we were. It was a Victorian branding exercise. They included a globe with seven bees to show how we worked and traded across the seven seas. The Manchester bee was born of industry. Manchester’s bee is a worker bee, reflecting a city made by the workers; made by the people, not a city that has grown from royal patronage or easy natural resources. Mancunians have worked hard to make this place thrive. The standard bee on our street furniture has been around since the 1970s but most of our bees are 19th century creations. Bee-spotting is a good way to spend time in the city. When you’re strolling the streets, look up, look around and you’ll see them everywhere.3

[@mpa719]

Just wanna point out I got a Jet’s Pizza ad during this 🫡

[@wtfbrblolbbq]

Bo, what is the overshirt/jacket/shirt? I love that color.

[@sweepxcore]

The flurry machine used to be there, but with the reduction of plastic use, no longer being used.

[@JoSHFARRox13]

the caesar wraps are good

[@joelharb9088]

why the birmingham slander jimmy cmon

[@georgedeacon3527]

Trust me

[@JDG2112]

10/10

[@andrewmoore1136]

late to this party- i'm not from manchester but have lived here for 25 years, and jimmy's talking pure nonsense when he says there's never been a big hardcore scene here. mid-late 90s, through to late 2000s it was thriving and definitely on the map amongst other cities/places/scenes across the UK. what happened? life. loads of people came and went, people moved away, got families and whatnot but there's still a few of us around that go to shows from time to time although many of the venues we used to use/frequent are gone. also, that sheff edge day- there's actually loads of us still edge that were there that day. just not as active in hc (or at least, in the more visible hardcore circles of today) but there was a distinct, tight group of people who are still edge from those days because we were in it for the right reasons, and not just for scene points or whatever. check out Eyeteeth if you want to see what some of the real edge lifers from those days are up to now.

[@hughemungus5237]

Now I gotta get McDonald’s after work

[@AVANTRecords]

31:00 Iron Maiden in the Top5 of that discussion

[@metal-gods]

Can't believe there was nothing about Satan's Hallow

[@heavyfriends9981]

Living for the Foundation Coffee slander

[@tyrizzle8834]

The grandest of wizard's. 😂😂😂

[@cheezdip420]

What was the guy’s shirt!!

[@kevxxxedge]

Did you go see Salfords Lad Club, and Morrissey's old home?

[@Jerrid_8675]

Nobody noticed the Subway behind them

[@XhavepurposeX]

“A little too east Germany for me” is crazy

[@seansayproductions]

This episodes was & is biblical

[@kylopat1652]

25:10 anyone have that clip?

[@MikeCreeper714]

Colin not rocking a sleeveless tee is throwing me off.

[@jordancornell9364]

[@RandomPandaX78]

Columbia is the goated Oasis track

[@xPidgexSmithx]

It’s not hard to be Edge in the UK at all 😂 the culture has no bearing on it, it’s down to the person.

[@user-hu8gy4fu6u]

Portland has roses for some weird reason. Not bees

[@gnarxy]

Hope we get an episode about UK beatdown scene while you're there

[@throwjr]

THE BOYS ARE EAST hit a diner

[@matmedrano8004]

[@kekethebasedcat]

subtitles for British guests next time please

[@CH-ml4rz]

He’s really into Nile

[@urmumsbaps]

You could try being less dumb? It's really easy to understand accents if you aren't a total dummy

[@kierenbuckley370]

"Birmingham is a sad place" I take offence to that

[@thecheesefilledllama]

Work of art destroying the McDonalds wraps. They are truly awful, part of the problem is the chicken "selects" could be cardboard and they would taste the same

[@jordancornell9364]

Personally ill never understand why brits claim nandos as their own haha, we have it in aus too it was in like most of asia and afrrica before them haha though in saying that, jimmy fucking rules

[@szefula]

Paprika is not made out of bell pepper…

[@gregbradshaw7220]

When Beau missed the props 😂😂😂😂😂

[@BREN153]

70$ worth of McDonald’s isn’t bad at all 😂.

[@gtownpunx6553]

next episode rob a bank and film it

[@jacktaylor5977]

the gap tooth killer

[@Slaveternal]

No sauce except ketchup….violation of taste smh. Condiments make the food.

[@urmumsbaps]

Yeah that threw me, how tf is he eating nandos 4 times a week and he's never tried any of their sauces?

[@chrisp464]

bell peppers are astringent trash

[@Paul-rt4ix]

Manchester isn't nowhere near as good as it was in the 80/90s.

[@antoniodevelasco6616]

Eating at McDonald is one of the most unpunk things you can do. Being a carnivore and edge is an oxymoron. McDonald’s is worse for you than smoking weed. Buncha posers.

[@petermicanovic7956]

Found the burger king burner account

[@roastbeefdinner]

He is 100% correct about cheese, unless its a grinder, then provolone goes on a regular.
