Episode 180 Andrew Vacante of Combust
A story long in the making. The young kid from staten island worked diligently in many bands, honing and crafting the songs and musicianship over years with little notice from the world. Yet once Combust took off, the energy and fury of classic New York Hardcore bellowed out of this new band and in the last few years finally started to get the notice and attention they deserve. They've crushed many solo tours, countless fests and we are happy to have them at TIHC 2026.

Episode 161 Melissa Mastrangelo of Denied and All Shall Suffer
Melissa grew up in Queens at a perfect time for find herself at the beginning of a new age of NYHC. From Bulldoze to Denied and others, the beginning of a heavier focus brought about the foundation of what alot of modern hardcore kids and bands are focused on, the "Beatdown" sound. Her story is awesome and she is at the right place at the right time for so many great moments.
She has been a high school teacher for years but found time to start All Shall Suffer around the pandemic years and is playing This Is Hardcore this summer with Denied as part of their Reunion.
This is a fun conversation and lots of great memories come back having her on the show.
