On this episode, the gang goes on another musical journey as John, Dan, and Sausha discuss their personal entry points to the bands associated with the New York hardcore music like Gorilla Biscuits, Agnostic Front, H20 and others, how the music of that scene acted as bridge to other hardcore and metalcore bands, and how important compilation records were to their musical discovery.
