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.
