Border Boss

We conclude our first Connecticut Cycle with very locally influential dose of official mosh and I'm talking like the jun jun jun jun mosh that you probably thought you were kidding about but this is NO JOKE. It is time to suffer in the crumbling blood of decay with DIVIDED BY HATE.

This week we dust off another artifact of Mike's yung hardcore journey - Thenceforward "From Within" on Phyte Records. This canary walked into the coalmine of early metalcore and didn't quite survive, but will it's dying screams echo into future ears? Only our amorphous rating system can decide.

Together we journey through a deep spiritual obligation Mike felt about a record that he is provably the first and only person to have ever purchased online. Industrial-ish angry metal frozen in time, cursed to forever be locked in the non-memory of people who experience Connecticut in 1994.

We discuss the Time's Up 7 inch "Discernment" on Chainsaw Safety records. This mathy metalcore amuse bouche contains at least one possibly two members of the band Burnt By The Sun when they were just wee babbies.

Mike and Scot soft launch a bold new project. Join the First Seven Inch Club as we analyze music that didn't make it too much further than one 7" record. In this episode, we tackle the 6th release Hydra Head records ever put out - Age of Reason.

We return because the boss of Taco Bell did Zoom humor. Plus the return of a very special segment. Warm yourself on our hot takes about Weekend Nachos and Bloodlet. I'm sure there was more!!

An episode from March, roughly a week before things POPPED OFF, so we discuss covid with very cavalier language and then tell you about fast food stuff you do not remember because it was the old world. We fill our holes with Pallbearer, Husker Du, UFO, and Pro-Pain PLUS we launch a piece of official merch now that the podcast is barely alive. CHECK BORDERBOSS.RIP FOR DETAILS.

LOST EPISODE: We recorded this months ago then gave up but here it is. We chat about things we were missing during the pandemic circa May 2020 then charge directly into the main event - an All Holes Filled strictly about bands and musical projects featuring well known wrestlers.

We delete an episode to bring you a special dispatch from the same awful reality you are currently inhabiting. We predict the restaurants least likely to survive this setback and then chill out with some Animal Collective, open a pit way the fuck up with Disembodied, then drop out of life with Uncle Acid AND Acid Bath, totally unplanned I swear.

We discuss thermogenic cocktails, loopholes for imprisoning rich people, rubber eggs, and get to the bottom of fast food desserts. We fill holes with Suicide, Nitzer Ebb, Orville Peck, and Jimi Hendrix.

We discuss the tragedy of the Taco Bell in Kodiak, Alaska then think long and hard about the Papadilla, the Buffalo chicken, the sexual french taco and McMillions before filling our holes with My Bloody Valentine, Talk Talk, Black Flah and My Dying Bride

We enter the 27 Club by mixing stimulants and depressants then discuss a wrestling theme that's close to home, food made from electricity, internet food reviewers, tiny tacos, pig heads, then discuss Bon Iver, Janes Addiction, Morbid Angel and POWER TRIP.

We for some reason talk about Star Wars and then talk about presidents HOUSING corn dogs and turkey legs and cast our ballot except we recorded it months ago before the NYT made everything super dumb so who knows... anyway we discuss Quasimoto "The Unseen", Cop Shoot Cop "Ask Questions Later", Clutch "Transnational Speedway League" and Fishbone "The Reality of My Surroundings" and my haunted bloodthirsty basement walls.

We come in two weeks late with a christmas episode talking about some stuff you've probably already forgotten like Yoda memes and christmas carols. Luckily we fill such timeless holes as Alkaline trio, Bastard noise, Trail of Dead and Christian Death. Happy holidays, stupid!

Just in time for Thanksgiving we almost completely fail to talk about Thanksgiving but we do discuss Bang, Reign, Legendary fast food items that deliver, legendary fast food items that fall short, and fill our holes with Midnight Oil, Television, AFI and Type O Negative.

We quickly become experts on the entire width and breadth of fast food and junk food based board games before listening to all the scum rock you can handle - Vampire Weekend, System of a Down, Exodus and Guns 'n F'n Roses.

We freeform it on some space shit and some cooking shit and discuss tabletop RPG's from Wendy's before filling our holes with Vision of Disorder, Trouble, Blind Guardian and U2.

NYC Water, SWATting, financially supporting witchcraft as protection, best fast food promotional campaigns, and the soundly filled holes of Comeback Kid, Iron Age, Magnetic Fields and Insane Clown Po - NO WAIT DON'T GO... COME ON... COME BACK DUDE, COME ON...

We uncover the fake alcohol conspiracy, Wendy's wide-boy breakfast take 7, the toasted cheddar chalupa, fantasize about other casual food tropes taco bell could mutate, and fill such holes as The Selecter, Glassjaw, Primus and Wu-Tang Clan.

Mostly we talk about the British Three's Company antecedent Man About The House but we also discuss chicken and un-chicken. Strap in for the filling of Guided by Voices' holes... and Lucero's holes... and Meshuggah's holes... AND THE WHO'S HOLES.
