What does a lifelong hardcore punk rocker do when the band life ends? You start an art gallery, travel the world, become a Dad, and keep on tapping into your creativity. At least that was Jason Hamacher's answer.  On this episode we talk hardcore punk, being young, thinking different, and finding the most honest version of ourselves in mid life. I met Jason at the Punk Rock Museum. He was at the base of the steps "high fiving" guests as they ventured upstairs to check out Rikki Ercoli's never before seen iconic rockstar photography exhibit.  This is Jason Hamacher's amazing story and lessons to share.  Learn more about Jason's gallery here.  lostorigins.gallery

Our friend Jason Hammacher recounts the story of how a completely innocent and peaceful photography expedition turned in to harrowing, "holy shit, I might not make it out of this alive" detainment by the authorities in Syria.  This Bonus Episode is taken from our January 18, 2021 Episode, "Jason Hamacher's One Weird Trick."

Jason Hamacher‘s professional efforts are shaped by passion, motivation, and vision. He is an internationally recognized musician, photographer, writer, public speaker, and massage therapist. His work has taken him across the globe documenting the sights and sounds of culture, music, people, and food. Hamacher’s diverse clientele ranges from Vidal Sassoon to an NBA dance team, from the Syrian Embassy to some of the most popular heavy-metal bands in the world. He exhibits his photography frequently and is currently finishing both a book on Aleppo, Syria and a CD of ancient Christian chants. Hamacher’s passion for the arts was recognized early when he began playing drums at the age of ten, performed his first concert at fourteen, and recorded his first album at seventeen. His interest in history and culture unfolded as a youth while touring Europe and Asia with his band. He continues to write, record and play music internationally. In addition to running Lost Origin Productions, Hamacher is a happily married father, plays drums with two bands (Regents and Frodus), and leads the massage therapy department at RENU Med Spa in Chevy Chase, Maryland.   Photographer Links:    Education Resources:   Candid Frame Resources   Download the free Candid Frame app for your favorite smart device.

Episode 11 features Jason Hamacher (drummer of Regents, Frodus, and Combatwoundedveteran, among other bands). Jason’s experience in music, as well as his Christian beliefs, have lead him to many unlikely adventures and research including finding himself working in Syria with the ancient Aramaic speaking Syrian Orthodox Church, and collaborating with the Smithsonian. If punk, Christian, and academic aren’t adequate enough adjectives to describe Jason, he is also a licensed massage therapist. Mix all of these unlikely backgrounds together, and you’ll find a hilarious, refreshingly open-minded conversation that somehow always finds its way back to hardcore and punk ideology.

Jason Hamacher moved from Florida to Fairfax County, excited to be there because of a reference from a Scream album and its proximity to Minor Threat and the DC hardcore scene. He met Shelby Cinca on a Christian retreat and a video of him shirtless, banging out a Sepultura song sealed the deal of securing a spot in his band. This launched them on a ten-year odyssey of touring around the world and recording with three bands, from Frodus to The Black Sea and most recently Decahedron. This episode also features music from Jason’s straight-edge band, Battery, and his screamo project Combatwoundedveteran. Jason developed skills promoting his music and booking tours, almost securing Frodus a gig playing a lab in Antartica, and utilizing some of the same talents to preserve ancient Syrian chants. Jason has accomplished so much musically, but never takes himself or his achievements too seriously, and was more than happy to to give us insight into his Northern Virginia roots.

For many, living in Brooklyn is an easy choice to make. But for those who have come to Brooklyn fleeing war and seeking asylum, the story is more complicated. On this trip through Brooklyn, USA, journalist Sriyanka Ray brings you the stories of three Brooklynites who are here not by choice, but by necessity. In the first, a 16-year-old from Yemen traverses international borders and high school girl-dom. In the second, a physician who misses his family in Libya dreams of raising his children in the United States. And in the third, a young Syrian activist living in Bushwick is caught between wanting to remember and trying to forget. This episode features audio from the Sacred Voices of Syria, recorded by Jason Hamacher for the Lost Origins Sound Series. https://soundcloud.com/lostorigins ••• Brooklyn, USA is produced and edited by Sachar Mathias and Emily Boghossian.

Hello Everybody! In this episode The Gersch and I had a great time laughing and talking with Jason Hamacher of Frodus, Battery, Regents, and a handful of other punk and hardcore bands. Jason was in town giving a talk at The North Door about his experiences in pre-war Syria. You can go to Lost Origin Productions to view his photography and find out more information about the archival recordings that he produced as well. This episode is all over the place. Jason came over and brought the funny. Jason was also able to get The Gersch to engage more than he normally would.

Jason Hamacher has spent the years documenting vanishing culture of Armenian Christians of Aleppo Syria. He is full of fascinating stories about a very interesting subject that is especially important given the current situation in Syria and he also played drums in the bands Battery and Frodus.

Jason Hamacher was a drummer in several punk rock bands that had a positive message. Setting out to write heavy metal music to old Christian chants, Jason was surprised to learn that precious little had been done to preserve the ancient prayers, hallowed rituals, and sacred music of Syria's religious minority communities. Beginning nearly 10 years ago, he began his travels to Aleppo, Syria, and has been working on several preservation projects through Smithsonian Folkways, Yale Institute of Sacred Music, and the Sephardic Heritage Museum. The kind archbishop who provided Syrian entre' to Jason has since been kidnapped by rebels; and Aleppo is in shambles. His company, Lost Origin Productions, has preserved the music and photos of a life that barely exists today. For more information about Jason's projects, go to lostorigins.com.

Now that your taxes are a thing of the past you can finally relax and start planning on how to not pay them next year. While you wait for that, here is a brand new episode of Edgeland to have fun with. This week Bill plays a loving tribute to his loving mother that will be celebrating a birthday this week. In the interview portion of the show things are a little bit different. Jason Hamacher of Battery and Frodus returns to talk about his company Lost Origins. Jason gives a super sized interview on how the company started, what led him to break edge, and the power of hardcore. A fascinating interview from start to finish.  

Jason Hamacher was the drummer for the band Frodus who formed in 1993 and was part of  Tooth and Nail's early hardcore roster.  Frodus toured with The Refused witnessed their breakup first hand.  Jason is now involved with recording the oldest Christian music that exists, chanting in Syria that dates back to 190 AD.   Webinar Link: 5 Myths About Women, Sex and Porn http://x3.cm/BadChristian

The deep freeze has set in for most of the country, but it is always warm in Edgeland. This week on the show Bill talks about how he is a dirty cheater unworthy of respect, hopefully this apology is enough to make up for past mistakes. In the interview portion of the show Bill talks with Chris Bavaria of Mindset and Praise about Pennsylvania punk, joining up with Mindset and Praise, and his photography career. In the non edge column Bill talks with Jason Hamacher of Frodus, Battery, and the production company Lost Origins about growing up in Florida, being the son of a preacher, and how he got his start playing in his various bands.

"The kids will have their say" when Jason Hamacher (drummer of Frodus/Decahedron/Combatwoundedveteran/Regents/Battery) shows up "at the Wilson Center" with a literal suitcase full of super-memorable worst gigs.  From infiltrating Latino biker gangs in Montana to playing high school graduations in Nebraska to gutting skinheads in DC to what lead to the break-up of Frodus, Jason delivers the goods.  Not content with a buttload of killer 90's punk/hc tales?  We also discuss Jason's time in Syria and his work documentating ancient religious prayers and songs.  If you're not now you never were on this week's WORST GIG EVER!
