My guest is a writer, director, producer, and musician. His new movie, "Director's Cut," is now up on all streaming platforms. Ladies and gentlemen, Don Capria. Owner and founder of OneTenCrew films and 110 Artist Management.
We talk about his awesome new film and the horror genre as well as his book, Colombo Book. He played drums in Blindside and Skarhead, and we delved into a discussion about hardcore. 

Being a huge fan of everything horror, serial killer, and mafia related topics, this was a lot of fun to do. Go check out "Director's Cut" now. The cast is great, and Louis Lombardi kills it. Respect.

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.

Nate Holly is my guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace. A short, twenty-second video that came across my feed caught my attention. It turns out the clip was of their first ever show a couple of months ago. I needed to know the story behind this band and the heavily tattooed man singing with a buck knife on his hip. So, I reached out. Vile Mind is just a few months old, and they've been making noise in the Huntington, West Virginia area, and due to that video clip, a lot of people are aware of them now. Nate couldn't have been a nicer, more gracious guy. A tattoo artist at Prestige Tattoo & Piercing, a father as well as a man with over a dozen years of sobriety under his belt. He helped create the Huntington Music Collective, which is a grassroots, DIY movement that brings hardcore shows to the area. An area that has been decimated by drugs over the years, he has created a positive space for kids and adults alike to come and hang out without drugs or alcohol. I'm glad I reached out to him. I'm sure he'll be back on with another member of Vile Mind once their first EP drops next month. The utmost respect to him and what he is doing in Huntington, West Virginia.

My friend Craig Ahead is the guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast (Group). He's been on several times in the past, but it's been a while. 
We pretty much catch up on what's been going on with him since Sick Of It All is on a temporary hiatus due to the unfortunate situation with Lou. We touch on his run with Marky Ramone and JUDGE  for a moment and head right back into some nonsensical banter about food, his ancient Chinese secret meatball recipe, and some boxing talk. Always one of my favorite people to hang and bullshit with. Enjoy.

The Mamaluke Show starring Anthony Russo, Rob Castoria, and yours truly. After recording separate episodes with these guys, we had a text thread going on and decided to combine our idiotic behavior and do an episode with the three of us. So here it is. A bunch of nonsensical banter, along with a couple of serious topics as well. We talk a bit about the All day Barbecue/Benefit show I am currently putting together at Lucky 13 Saloon for Robs mom, as well as touch on the fact that our friend Lou Koller is currently cancer-free. Then, we dive back into insignificant ramblings of mental patients. Enjoy.

After a little hiatus, the podcast is back with my guest, my man, Chris Fist. Chris has been in the hardcore scene since the first wave of bands in New York City. A founding member of Clenched Fist NYC, as well as playing in everyone from Life's Blood, Mental Abuse, Breakdown, and The Wilding Incident. He was in a bar in Brooklyn with a special appearance from our friend Zak. This isn't even an interview at all. It's a crazy funny conversation that constantly goes off the rails. So strap in and know beforehand that this one is chaotic. Much respect!
