  • Episode 180 Andrew Vacante of Combust
    Aug 6 2025
    Episode 180 Andrew Vacante of Combust A story long in the making. The young kid from staten island worked diligently in many bands, honing and crafting the songs and musicianship over years with little notice from the world. Yet once Combust took off, the energy and fury of classic New York Hardcore bellowed out of this new band and in the last few years finally started to get the notice and attention they deserve. They've crushed many solo tours, countless fests and we are happy to have them at TIHC 2026. www.instagram.com/combustnyhc

  • Episode 179 Jorge Rosado of Merauder
    Aug 1 2025
    Episode 179 Jorge Rosado As we close in on TIHC 2025, I got to speak with Jorge who is back once again playing This Is Hardcore. We start at his beginnings, finding music and like minded individuals in the most NYC way possible. Over the course of the last 30 + years, Jorge has fronted a few lesser known bands and we talk a bit about it and then his joining Merauder for the legendary recording of Master Killer. Alot of emotion came out of this conversation and at times we touch back on things that may conceptually not be in line with the modern hardcore scene, but it all lays out the path and history of Jorge and what he went through. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed laughing and talking about older bands, metal and Jorge's many bands and aspirations.

  • Episode 175 Deran of Sacred Path AZ
    Jul 9 2025
    Episode 175 Deran of Sacred Path AZHC Deran Martinez grew up in the Gila River Indian Community, finding hardcore very much the way many of our guests' have. As he was coming up in the Reservation, he was introduced to having to take care of things with his hands. This would come to help him as he was playing shows and finding his path to the mats and ring with MMA. One of the coolest parts of the interview for me was Deran offering to get music from the other bands in his area out to the world. So we attached Two Guns and Heresy AZ songs alongside Sacred Path's track Alot of hardwork has been laid by Deran and others to uplift their community and bring hardcore back in a strong way in Arizona. Recent shows and new kids have shown the world what a show at a boxing gym can be. I had a great conversation with Deran and his experiences gave a deeper look into the indigenous hardcore kids and their lives on the reservations. Check out and follow the bands. Support Deran in his MMA bouts www.instagram.com/sacredpath.az www.instagram.com/twogunshc www.intagram.com/heresy.az www.instagram.com/chukud_mma opening track (s) of the episode Sacred Path " Malice" Two Guns "Strike First" Heresy "Say Less"
