Episode 180 Andrew Vacante of Combust
Episode 180 Andrew Vacante of Combust A story long in the making. The young kid from staten island worked diligently in many bands, honing and crafting the songs and musicianship over years with little notice from the world. Yet once Combust took off, the energy and fury of classic New York Hardcore bellowed out of this new band and in the last few years finally started to get the notice and attention they deserve. They've crushed many solo tours, countless fests and we are happy to have them at TIHC 2026. www.instagram.com/combustnyhc

Episode 179 Jorge Rosado of Merauder
Episode 179 Jorge Rosado As we close in on TIHC 2025, I got to speak with Jorge who is back once again playing This Is Hardcore. We start at his beginnings, finding music and like minded individuals in the most NYC way possible. Over the course of the last 30 + years, Jorge has fronted a few lesser known bands and we talk a bit about it and then his joining Merauder for the legendary recording of Master Killer. Alot of emotion came out of this conversation and at times we touch back on things that may conceptually not be in line with the modern hardcore scene, but it all lays out the path and history of Jorge and what he went through. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed laughing and talking about older bands, metal and Jorge's many bands and aspirations.
