#158 Today's Boondoggle- with "Florida" Frank Novinec of Hatebreed.
from Todays Boondoggle Podcast · host Today's Boondoggle Show
Photo credit D. Randle Blythe. In this episode Bill talks with his longtime friend, "Florida" Frank Novinec of Hatebreed. We go old school in our conversation talking about Franks early influences in music and what led to him playing guitar. We talk about forming Ringworm in High School and how that led to his time playing for Integrity. We also talk about the hustle of the early days of Cleveland Hardcore music and how bands would book and promote shows before the internet, and how trading tapes, shows, and even living room floors with out of town bands helped build and grow a scene. We also talk about how these connections made the friendships that led to playing in Terror and the growth process he went through when the door opened to play with Hatebreed. We also get into KISS Kruises, making and branding his own Hot Sauce, the infamous Super Bowl parties, getting out and playing with Megadeth in the new "normal", what happened to childhood creativity, plus so much more.
