About this episode
It's a momentous day in HardLore history as we finally explored the hometown of half of our show: Chicago, Illinois.We visited a few places around town (hand picked by Bo) where we were joined by very special guests for one on one conversations before finally all converging together at the legendary Fireside Bowl, Chicago's most iconic hardcore venue of the late 90s and early 00s.Featuring Shane Merrill from The Killer, Chris Mills from Harms Way, and Anchit Chhabra from Hold My Own (and many other bands)Thanks to Electric Mud, NADC Burger, Reckless Records and of course the Fireside for having us.Reckless browsing music by Kevin MacLeod._____________________________________________________________Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf)HardLore: A Knotfest SeriesJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef___________________________________________________________Cool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comGet 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/___________________________________________________________FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe______________________________________________________00:00:00 - Start00:00:44 - Shane Merrill/Electric Mud00:01:44 - Evolution of Chicago Hardcore00:04:58 - Breaking Cradle of Filth's Keyboard00:06:01 - Shane Meeting Bo00:10:44 - The Birth of Fest Culture00:14:30 - The Killer00:23:36 - Booking Shows is Gambling00:27:46 - Shane's Four Favorite HC Records00:33:50 - Anchit Chhabra/NADC Burger00:40:30 - Chicago Hardcore Changing During His Time00:41:13 - Shouting Out Local Bands00:43:17 - Reckless Records00:46:40 - Anchit's Four FavoriteHardcore Records00:53:36 - Browsing The Reckless Shelves00:55:30 - Chris Mills/Margie's00:58:29 - Meeting Young Bo01:07:02 - Beginnings of Harms Way01:11:43 - Chris' Four Favorite Hardcore Records01:13:10 - Young Bo and Chris Stories01:19:30 - The Fireside Bowl01:21:38 - Legendary Fireside Gigs01:38:30 - STRIKE(S)
