Five For Five With Drew Gardner of Totally Unicorn
Another band from my neck of the woods is Totally Unicorn. They play the sort of aggressive hardcore that will knock your cock in your wash-pocket, should you dig bands like Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan & Daughters.
Five For Five with Josh Francisco of Outsider / BloodRitual & (sometimes) Dead Heat.
Josh shreds in Outsider & BloodRitual. I had the pleasure of meeting him when Dead Heat rolled through Zurich on the last stop of tour as he was filling in on guitar. A nicer bunch of people you will never meet and no shit, Josh is one of the most talented guitar players I’ve seen live.
Five For Five with Greg Bennick of Bystander
If you dig hardcore like Bane, Battery, Trial etc then you need Bystander in your life. If you want to check out Trial, the only think that’s in print is this. It’s all good, so check them out if you are unfamiliar with them. They had an EP out on New Age too, which is included in that compilation.
Five For Five with Mike Gallo of Agnostic Front
When it comes to hardcore bands, there are few, if any, bigger and more important than the legendary Agnostic Front. Every time i've seen them play, they destroy the place. As busy as he is, Mike Gallo (bass) was kind enough to participate in this series. They've got a new record out that you can get here and a new 7inch, that you can get here.
Five For Five with Patrick Durst aka Ricky Lions aka Ricky Cataract of Cataract / Grim Reality Records
If you are from Switzerland and like hardcore music, there's a fair chance you've heard of Cataract. They are legendary in these parts and have a loyal following around the world. Ricky, their drummer is a solid dude who now plays in Safe State and runs a record label called Grim Reality Records. He also jocked Coroner, so he gets mad props for that.
