Axe To Grind 364 - Cave Paintings

Recently, one of the main bridges in my city caught on fire and ever since it has royally fucked traffic. I've never been a podcast guy but I figured I should try to find something to listen to while I slowly go insane on the highway. On a whim, I did a quick search for "hardcore podcasts" and this one came up. It leans into more of the 80's hardcore punk side of things, but it's still very good and entertaining. One of the dudes is the singer for Drug Church and Self Defense Family. And one of the other guys was the singer for some old hardcore band called Indecision. I don't know what the 3rd guy does, but either way, it's great. They've been doing this for a few years but I figured I would just post these when new episodes drop, which is I think every Tuesday. So, give it a try, maybe you'll like it. I'll be posting the podcast via Spotify here, but I'm sure you can get it on one of the million other podcast sources.

Sumu - Self Titled

 

Rec'd this one in my inbox the other day, from the email: "We, Sumu, from Tampere, Finland deliver you the most aggressive and the most fresh hardcore punk around. We like to call our music “sotecore” (social and healthcare in Finnish), because we all have worked in social and healthcare for years and we channel our experiences and frustration from the work field in our songs.  We released our eponymous EP in December 2024 and it includes four songs in Finnish. The songs tell you a story about the collapse of Finnish social and healthcare, our frustration against the raging wars, the crooked relationship between humans & nature, and last but not the least, about the increasing indifference in our society caused by our right-wing government and their decisions. All this in just under nine minutes."
