Bar Down Breakdown

Mike rides solo on this episode as we gear up for Bardown Break Tour, Elder Emo Night, and Bardown BreakFest. Plus we throw it back to Episode 100 when we had Derek DiScanio from State Champs on! Wild to hear him talk about recording Kings of the New Age over a year ago and how some of those tracks are now our new favorite State Champs songs! Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey and Tom talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 15 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are also diehard New York Islan
