Εp.103 Κλείνουμε το πρώτο τρίμηνο του 2026 με μια εφ’όλης της ύλης κουβέντα γύρω από νέες κυκλοφορίες, δίσκους, εγχώριες συναυλίες και οτιδήποτε σχετικό με το χαρντκορ/πανκ, και όχι μόνο.

Our guest in this episode is none other than Bjorn Dossche, from Belgium, the singer of one of the best European hardcore bands ever, aka Rise & Fall.

We take a deep dive into his hardcore history (including bands like The Deal, Chain Reaction, and -currently- Wrong Man), and emphasise on Rise & Fall, discussing everything from the first days of the band, in early 00s, till the recently announced comeback show, later this year.

Enjoy!

In this episode, we have the honour of hosting our friend yaar-e-Aly, from Utrecht, Netherlands. As the lead singer of the hardcore band Snake Eater, and a member of the collectives Silent Call and Zalzala, he talks about how it was like growing up as a Pakistani in the Netherlands, how he got into hardcore, and his band, Snake Eater.

We also discuss his perspective of Islam, how he experiences religion as a Muslim, and the relationship between the punk/hardcore scene and anti-imperialism & orientalist theories.
