As Friends Rust is an American melodic hardcore band based in Gainesville, Florida.[1] The original line-up, which included vocalist Damien Moyal, guitarist Henry Olmino, bass guitarist Jeronimo Gomez, and drummer Matthew Crum, formed in Davie, Florida in September 1996. After recording a demo tape but failing to secure a record deal, the band parted ways in February 1997. Check out their latest album Any Joy which was released last year and is available wherever you get your music.  I got Damien on the Skype and this is what we chat about: Starting Shai Hulud Why he was in so many bands The reason for multiple lineups in the beginning My band playing a show with them on tour Signing to Doghouse Records Not having a specific sound for the band Narrowly avoiding dying on multiple occasions The Polish Mafia gig Annoucing new songs in 2008 with no delivery Which does he like better, Fest or Furnace Fest And a ton more Lastly I started doing whiteboard animations so if your marketing department has said recently “Hey, we need a whiteboard animation” then email me at mike@drive80.com Feel free to support  the podcast for as little as $1 a month through Patreon

Dustin Wallace from With The Punches joins us to chat about what they've been up to since the band "ended", their early days and being on Doghouse Records, joining Keep Flying, being a Pens fan in the Hudson Valley ++ way more! Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey and Tom talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 15 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are also diehard New York Islanders fans, but as we like to say we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are! NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY!

In our 79th episode, we're joined by Damian Moyal, vocalist of As Friends Rust (among many other notable bands including Shai Hulud, Culture, Morning Again, Bird of Ill Omen, and most recently — Damien Done). We talk the mid 90s, Damien's start with As Friends Rust, the Doghouse Records years, a 20 year look back at ‘Won,' and much more. This was a special conversation for us, as ‘Won' is one of the best melodic hardcore/punk records of all time. Come for the “Won” discussion, stay for the Greta Van Zeppelin rants! We chatted with Damien for nearly 2 and a half hours — the last hour or so will drop later this year. Keep an eye out for a 2nd episode. We'd love for everyone to hear this episode!

After talking a little Drive Thru Records with Joe Reo of Hidden In Plain View last week, I decided to talk about the best punk and alternative record labels. All the way back to SST to more current day ones like Fat Wreck Chords. I get in to why these labels matter and how they become as important as the bands that they sign. Check out the Power Chord Hour radio show every Friday night at 10 est on 107.9 WRFA in Jamestown, NY, stream the station online at wrfalp.com/streaming/ or listen on the WRFA mobile app Stay connected with the show! email me for FREE Power Chord Hour pins - powerchordhour@gmail.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/powerchordhour Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/powerchordhour/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/powerchordhour/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6jTfzjB3-mzmWM-51c8Lgg Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/user/kzavhk5ghelpnthfby9o41gnr?si=4WvOdgAmSsKoswf_HTh_MgBig thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

With an infectious personality and a flashy style behind the drums, Jon Phillip has laid down beats for nearly a dozen different bands since he first picked up the sticks in the early '90s. Phillip's first bands — Tralfez and Spank Child — were based in the rural town of Grafton, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He then joined the up-and-coming power-pop group the Benjamins, who would go on to sign with Drive-Thru Records and tour the country several times over. Following the Benjamins, Phillip briefly played in the Nice Outfit before forming the roots rock band the Obsoletes with Justin Perkins and Tim Schweiger, who previously played together in Yesterday's Kids. Phillip went on to drum for the alt-country band Limbeck, of Doghouse Records. And the prolific drummer has since played with a string of other nationally known acts, including Berwanger, the Wildbirds, Screeching Weasel, Paul Collins Beat, Trapper Schoepp and Tommy Stinson. Stinson, of course, is known for being a member of both the Replacements and Guns & Roses.     Phillip is now fronting the punk group Mini Meltdowns, which features Scott Schoenbeck (Promise Ring, Dashboard Confessional and Rx Drugs) on bass. Phillip also runs Good Land Records, an independent record label, from his Nashville home.

The band is celebrating 20 years of The Moon My Saddle with a few select shows and it was time to get David on. This podcast episode is a lot about redemption and letting things go as times pass. One of those is an amazing quote on The Moon My Saddle when it first came out in Alternative Press. It says “David Moore on this record makes Huey Lewis sound like the king of the Delta Blues.” Then, 10 years later, Alternative Press does a big feature/interview on the band. Some things are ahead of their time. David’s father drove his motorcycle across the United States to Los Angeles, California to try and make it as an actor. It never materialized and he came back to Indiana to raise his family. David also made that same decision after Chamberlain broke up, deciding to hang up the music and stop chasing the dream and get on with his life. It wasn’t entirely that simple as you’ll hear. We talk about David’s approach to music, the initial response to “The Moon My Saddle,” the band’s downfall and what David did after that. Also how he’s looking at the upcoming 20 year anniversary shows from that album as an adult versus the boy that first toured those songs. “If this was just about nostalgia, we are self-aware enough to know that we wouldn’t want to do it.” Not a bad way to think about it.

Los Angeles-based musician Andrew Samples arrives by way of Nashville, TN. He is debuting his first solo record of songs, The Alchemist, which he wrote, produced, and performed all himself. This indie rocker introduces his style of personal revelations in uniquely-crafted song structures. His messages are meaningful and urgent, though sometimes quirky, because these are also pop songs. Andrew began his career playing bass for Doghouse Records pop/rock group, Feable Weiner, where he toured all over the U.S. and Europe for over three years. They signed a publishing deal with Universal U.K. and recorded a brand new album before losing traction after label disagreements behind a name change. That record, 2FNHOT, eventually came out under the band name, Mondo Primo. Andrew went on to play bass for Nashville-based piano rock group, Parachute Musical, and continued to tour extensively for almost four more years. They co-wrote and released an e.p., No Comfort, and a full length, Kill It Cut It Down, both completely independent, before Andrew decided to relocate to Los Angeles, where he initially did stand-up comedy. Secretly honing his songwriting craft from his bedroom for roughly fifteen years, Andrew says The Alchemist is his dream come true. "This record is the most honest part of me I've ever shared. Taking on this project all by myself has been the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's also the most rewarding." Andrew released The Alchemist on 5/15/15 on his label, APS R=CORDS.
