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 162 James Aloisio.of Ends Of Sanity and Unchained Mgmt.
We had James on earlier this year to talk about Overcome Fest but I wanted more time to go over his story. From Long Island and some early bands, he would rise to be one of the more influential behind the scenes booking agent and later manager to some of the most talked about Hardcore and Punk bands of the current day.
This is a great story about just finding opportunities, growing as a person and learning new skills and having the balls to give up a day job and just go for it.
