On this very special FM Punk interview, the legendary frontman James "Stikman" Ismean of the most infamous New Jersey hardcore band Fury of Five calls in to the show to talk about the first new Fo5 record in a long time Half Past Revenge, how he's honed his craft as an artist and inspiring future generations of New Jersey hardcore. We talked about their upcoming record release show and about cool up and coming bands! I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone as passionate about their local hardcore scene as Jim is about New Jersey's hardcore scene! He provides a lot of sage advice about performing and musicianship in this interview that I think we'd all benefit from hearing!

Back with another episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace. This time around, I have my friend, Mike Valente on. Founding member and guitarist for Brick By Brick. He also founded the Extreme Music Awards, which will hold its 2nd annual award show on January 10th, 2025, at Empire Live in Albany, New York. We talk some Brick By Brick history and their upcoming EP, which will be released by Upstate Records. How he got the idea and created the Extreme Music Awards, and he delves into the decade-long pseudo-feud with Chris Jericho from Fozzy. Mike is a great guy, and I always enjoy seeing him and shooting the shit. This episode is hilarious. Much Respect. Enjoy.
