THEE Hardcore Podcast, hosted by Tom, Bob, and Patrick.
AXE TO GRIND PODCAST & Sound Talent Media
The AXE TO GRIND PODCAST is an absolute gem for hardcore music enthusiasts. Since its second episode, I have been a loyal listener and it continues to impress me every Tuesday. This podcast is not only one of the best podcasts out there in general, but it also stands as the top hardcore music podcast. The hosts, Pat, Tom, and Bob, bring their encyclopedic knowledge and charm to each episode, making it an authority on the genre.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to introduce listeners to new bands and keep them up-to-date on new releases in the hardcore scene. The hosts have a knack for turning listeners onto fresh sounds while also providing entertaining commentary on band culture. Their hot takes on music and their banter keeps me coming back week after week. Additionally, I appreciate their episodes where they focus on specific years in hardcore music history and discuss albums from that time period.
However, one minor drawback of the podcast is that sometimes the conversations can be too focused on Albany NY, which may not be relatable to all listeners. Additionally, if you're not familiar with current musical trends or specific bands they discuss, it might be hard to fully engage with those segments. Nonetheless, these are minor issues that do not detract from the overall quality of the podcast.
In conclusion, The AXE TO GRIND PODCAST is an absolute must-listen for anyone interested in hardcore music. Whether you're a long-time fan or just starting to dive into the genre, this podcast provides hilarious banter, insightful discussions about past and present hardcore music scenes, and endless recommendations for new bands to check out. The chemistry between the hosts is undeniable and their passion for hardcore shines through in each episode. Don't miss out on this incredible podcast!
