Jeff Casazza of Run For Cover fame joins us to talk about WHAT'S NEXT FOR HARDCORE. Has heavy hardcore reached its tipping point? Is there enough labels in hardcore right now or are we all super doomed? Quick aside: does anyone care about Fugazi? Also... Pearl Jam. Bonus: Deathcore Patrick emerges.
Jeff Casazza of Run For Cover Records joins us on a very special episode of Off The Record. Jesse, Jeff, and Zack spoke about Run For Cover from the early days to present time, running a business, the roster growing with age, and so much more. And while it didn’t make the cut, Jeff asks Zack, “Has your Skype screen name always been armyofangelsx182?” It has been. Have questions?

This episode was a long time coming but our schedules finally matched up and I was able to chat with Jeff Casazza, the owner of Run For Cover Records. We get in depth about failing miserably at the beginning of the label, being a "boss" and how the internet played a huge part in Jeff's upbringing. Jeff was very forthcoming in his answers and it was a real pleasure to shed some light on areas of the label that often get overlooked.
