Kiwistyle Podcast - Terminal Sleep Origins & International Touring
I met up with Todd, Dustin, Will and Alessio from Starve filling in on guitar at the Kublai Khan, Gideon, Gates to Hell Manchester show at New Century Hall in Manchester earlier this year.It was their first tour of Europe & the UK and even some of the members first time in the northern hemisphere. The venue surprisingly had a studio underneath it which we quickly asked if we could use for a podcast, the rest is just some old mates catching up. Sorry the audio is not at its normal quality, we used our phones as microphones.

Jordan Brothers - Hamilton HC in the 2000'ss
Dave and Ryan Jordan, two brothers jump on the pod to talk about their beginnings in the Christian Hardcore scene of the mid 2000's in Hamilton, New Zealand. It's an awesome insight into how religious families can get into objectively extreme music and navigate those sides of life. They've both gone on to front many bands as vocalists from One Must Fall, 21 Guns, Bad Medicine, Regime and now Dave sings for the Break In. In the podcast they their define their own influences and styles and I think this podcast shines a different light on NZHC then previous conversations, I had a good time.Thank you for supporting the channel, I couldn't do it without you!Listen to The Break In’s new EP “They are watching us” here on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/32qr37IG7ho7cFPTEazaJU?si=30eJDbGqQ-CQKJ-Be1T67QSupport the channel and join the Kiwistyle podcast Patreon, for only a few dollars you’ll get new episodes weeks early.

[…] It destroyed my hands though because we did it at the studio. It was Nolly's idea to up them. So I had to reset the guitar up and then my – Obviously the calluses on my fingers are used to a 49 and not a 52. And even that little bit of difference, the tension just destroys your fingers, especially when you're playing like six hours a day. So yeah, don't do it at the studio or do it before if you're going to change. You get used to it. Yeah. All right. What about drums, Tom?
