Show notes

Hardcore, We live it. We breath it. Nerds can’t stop what can’t be defeated! This week, Chris is called away on a last minute mission for the core, so Dave It Up steps up to take the mic & spit that hot fire in his absence. Listen as the two dissect Kerrang’s Hardcore Geography & of course the godly Sam Beam’s 90’s sludge/doom/Stonerrock/ connection.
