Scott Vogel is back after about five years since he was last on the podcast. We has an informal conversation about touring, how much he appreciates he quiet downtime after playing over 200 shows on average per year. We touch on how he very rarely drinks and parties anymore and the positive affects it has had on him personally as well as Terror as a whole. His move back to Buffalo from Los Angeles, and we discuss our mutual love for Leeway and a bunch of other random topics. Always cool to shoot the shit with Vogel.

*Disclaimer*
This is a long one!
Strap in, kids. You have been warned.— in Forest Hills.
Lenny Bednarz and I sat down for a marathon conversation... we touch on everything from growing up in old New York City to his bands, Without A Cause, 
Fahrenheit 451 NYHC, 
District9 BXHC, his short-lived stint in the pop-punk band, 
Well, excuse me, Princess into 
Crazy Eddie NYHC. We touched on the part he played in Grand Theft Auto IV: Liberty City. We go back into old New York City to movies, then back to bands, then start discussing our mutual love for cemeteries. Mixed within all of these are random side conversations about how the soul and feel of NYC has either changed or is gone altogether. And of course we mention how our friends parents had the right to slap us and that there was always that one kid that wouldn't tell anybody that he went home and stayed in while playing manhunt, jackin' up the entire game. This was awesome to do, and I'm sure we'll wind up doing another episode. We could've gone for another couple of hours easily.

Lenny Bednarz (Crazy Eddie. Fahrenheit 451. District 9)

long island hardcore has been a huge part of life. I got involved when i was 15 and never looked back. Support your local hardcore scene -- even tho it will never be as good as LIHC...

shoutout my friends matt and andre for getting me into lihc when i was just 13/14 years old. those dudes changed me life. they took a chance on a younger kid and showed me the way of bands like incendiary and backtrack. i wouldn't be who i am today without them

I'm actually in the photo of the pile on (and im one of the main dudes on the pile on). Incendairy 12/16/16. photo creds gryffinpoor on instagram

lyrics:
we at the show
and it's real crowded
if you can't find me
I'm in the moshpit
she said you better be careful when you throw them kicks
so before I go I always give her a kiss

my girl so scared
she so nervous
cuz i hop on stage
and i do front flips
into the crowd 
where they get violent
but thats how it goes
and i love it

she should know 
from our first date
took her to a show
at AMH (Amityville Music Hall)

ever since then
ive been dancing
ever since then
ive been moshing

and im not gonna change
even old age
ill swing my cane
ill fall off stage

hardcore for life
i love my wife
but i love the game

ill go out swinging
with a grin on my face

its my happy place

but its all for fun
and its all love
we fuck it up
in Shakers Pub

theres no bad blood
but there will be blood
but there will be blood
theres always blood

always blood
always blood
someone got fucked

theres so much blood
theres so much blood
thats a lot of blood...

i love Long Island Hardcore 4 life <3 #51631 (kai boo) [hyperpop song]

My guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast is the former drummer of legendary Long Island Hardcore band, Disciplinary Action! Jeff Lanzetta and I take it back to the late 80s and into the 90s, discussing the band, the LIHC scene back then, and reminiscing about hardcore in general. This was a long time coming. Enjoy.

My guest this time around is the guitarist for Fire Is Murder and Damn Your Eyes. He also played with Eddie Sutton in the last few years of Leeway NYC. Ladies and gentlemen... Artie Alexander. 
He's an incredible musician and an all-around good guy. We discuss the aforementioned bands, we talk a little about Eddie, along with the tribute show that I had put together in his honor. Artie played a huge part in that event. We bullshit about how none of the things that we currently do would be possible without being sober. Artie should've been on the podcast much earlier, better late than never. I'm sure he'll be back again. Enjoy.

My guest is a man I've known now for close to a decade. I'm surprised he hasn't been on earlier. He's played in Leeway NYC/The Eddie Leeway Show, Hard Response, The Casting Out, Comin' Correct and besides being a solo artist and collaborating with Keith Caputo, he has a new band called Ritualized.
We are all over the place in this rather long episode. From hardcore to road trips to movies and guilty pleasure songs, we run through a lot! Sit back and enjoy. This was a lot of fun to do. Respect.

I have no idea why he hasn't been on the show several years ago, at least a couple of times. This was way overdue. My guest is my boy Anthony Russo, Jr. He is the singer for New York Hardcore band, A Breed Apart. 
We go on and on about hardcore, how social media ruined a lot of shit, the days from when I was booking shows at Lucky 13 Saloon and a ton of other banter. We probably could've babbled on for another couple of hours easily.

One thing is for sure, there's not many of us left. So, sit back and listen to how neither of us has a Brooklyn accent whatsoever.

Anthony Russo Jr. (A Breed Apart NYHC)

This Is Hardcore Podcast is inspired by the people and culture that make things possible. Interviews, stories and plenty of insight and inspiration in the do-ers, the makers and the people pushing the culture over the last 4 decades. There is an unbelievable amount of great DIY information being discussed and will be disseminated through these conversations, in hopes of instilling a hard work ethic in the new generations and a rekindling a connection to the old ways for the old school listeners.
