The Hardcore Archive Podcast

On episode 150 of the Hardcore Archive Podcast Josh and Greg interview Vennie, the vocalist from south Florida's Spit Truth. Spit Truth will appeal to fans of bands like Guns Up!, Carry On, Have Heart, and Down to Nothing. We hear about how Vennie made the transition from an angsty teenage metalhead to a more positive outlook through hardcore punk, and how his early life experiences and childhood adversity influenced his love of hardcore. Vennie speaks at length about how his career as a therapist intersects with hardcore, and the importance of maintaining one's own mental health. Greg and Vennie discuss mental health struggles, PTSD, and their own experiences with therapy. Towards the end of the episode we hear the latest news concerning south Flordia's hardcore scene, and get the scoop on some local and regional bands that are worth checking out.
