Border Boss

This week we are giving it everything we got... Going hard as hell on the music choice, tricking a guest star with the bait and switch, dropping a brand new Patreon exclusive concept - no one in history has ever worked this hard. Liam O'Donnell of Cinepunx podcast joins us to discuss all the eggs in the 90s Krishnacore pop crossover basket aka BABY GOPAL.

This episode we discuss unsettling folk music, unsettling old man fests, and unsettlingly bland dudes online before unsettling ourselves by analyzing a beloved band that all of you definitely know better than us.

This episode we talk about all the coolest corporations like Ticketmaster and Nike and how great it's all going before getting into one of the most low-rent but high impact splits of all time... Pittsburgh's tech-lords CREATION IS CRUCIFIXION vs Phoenix misery metal masters UNRUH.

So it's come to this... we have a special announcement that feels like putting on an enormous clown nose. A clown nose big enough to fit a Godzilla. A Godzilla which may or may not have, at one point or another, fought a fellow kaiju named MONSTER X, which is also the name of some guys we know.

This week we discuss some NORMY hardcore news like some ordinary hardcore podcast and it feels so good we might just keep doing that from now on. It's so easy to just tell you about hardcore internet. I'm not sure why you usually come here, but from now on it's to hear about hardcore internet only 3 days old. We also talk about Haymaker.

This week Mike slam dunks a Letterboxd goal and Scot discusses a completely ordinary situation that thousands of people experience routinely as though he is the first man on the moon. Eventually we talk about SWING KIDS, a record that marks the birth of jazz and I mean real jazz not that toot toot horn pervert bullshit.

Today we confront mortality in its many forms - the life or death choices of a horrific body puzzle in rollercoaster form; the sheer weight of being trapped in a body that spends 80 years dying unless it gets pasted by Rambo; the forbidden landscape of trash bags and tires under the spicy mustard sky of TRAGEDY.

This week is ALL REVIEWS: Two capsule reviews of our Secret Santa gifts - records by Boston noise weirdos Spore and Hudson Valley's Apocalypse stompers All Out War. Then we embark on a journey deep into the tangled roots of Long Island hardcore where we screw up ROYALLY in examination of CLOCKWISE. Bonus Taco Bell scene report for old headz.

This week we get a little too close for comfort talking about everything related to the show Webster except Webster then opening our Secret Santa gifts before wading into the weird smelling waters of the Hudson Valley to mosh in our big comfortable running shoes to the rock hard throb of DROWNING ROOM.

No, you didn't accidentally click on Spin.com, we are really reviewing a major label release of a famous alt rock band with expensive rock videos but you know... there are pics out there of almost all of these guys x'ed up so IT COUNTS. Also some beyond-crucial Telephone Auction chat.

We take you out of the post christmas hangover and get you on the road to 2023 with some fast facts about the dreariest parts of the 70s and 80s before turning hard, and I mean bootlegger turn hard, into the dreariest parts of the 90s with Louisville moodsters supreme - GUILT.

It's Yuletide so we decided as a gift to ourselves, we would spend one whole week punching down. That's right it's another Dutch straightedge band. This episode is also about timing... watching the right video or seeing the right meme at just the right time to light up the synapses you only reserve for hauntings and deja vu... the constant synergy of thinking everything is significant because you are old and dying. Oh this episode is about PRODUCT X.

It's the whole Chekov's Gun thing... we dipped into some stories many episodes ago that should have given you ample foreshadowing that we would eventually get around to the blu-ray two-disc deluxe version of one of the greatest stories in all of hardcore lore - this one's for the worms.

This holiday season we continue to swirl around in our own personal cesspool of hangups by taking on our first business partner, facing the truth of the first ever taco bell themed hardcore band that sadly doesn't involve us, and ultimately confronting a band made up of good friends and BLOOD ENEMIES - Albany NY's own GIVE UP.

In honor of finally hitting 14 listeners we decided to do a face reveal. Our true faces. No more facade. It's time for us to turn over the final joker card and proclaim the truth... OUR truth... that it's been a deathcore podcast all along.

Thanksgiving is upon us and in gratitude to our listeners, we are eliminating nearly ALL that chatter and digging immediately into our very first split 7" built from the local flavor of both of our homelands... a hard lesson in Troycore reality from WAR-TIME MANNER b/w a hard lesson in mosh grammar from Connecticut's TWO BY FOUR.

We overcome all the technical difficulties of 2022 to talk about likely impending conclusion of a racist barber from 2010's powerfully dumb storyline before guiding you through our deep dark thoughts on what it means to hear a single man from 2004 simulating the work of four or five men from 1986.

This week we CUT THE CRAP and dig directly into a topic that we predict will have a geographic reach of maybe like 100 miles, but all the 40-55 year olds within that 100 mile radius will be tripping over the snowdrifts of SAM BLACK CHURCH stickers still piled up in their homes to post about how Jet once jumped off a giant fiberglass weed leaf and landed on them so hard that they still have to sleep sitting up and can't hold a ball in their left hand.

2 days 2 late 4 Halloween but timed perfectly for Day of the Dead we bring you spices that can kill, habits that can kill, and a band who can never die... feel ghoulish energy all the way from your pallid undead skin right down to your personal spooky skeleton with the nocturnal sounds of INK & DAGGER.

This week we undertake a live physical challenge by eating a moldy old chip then attempt to talk about burgers, big boys, bar mitzvahs, and Buffalo's unimpeachable DOODLY DEEDLY core legends, SNAPCASE.
