Ep. 092: Uprise w/ Matt Molnar

Uprise was a hardcore band based out of Northern Jersey.  I heard about them when Mike Z joined the band because he was a classmate of mine at Jefferson Township High School and it was the first time I ever saw a local band put out a 7in which blew my mind. I talk about this in the interview. You may also remember the Morris County Youth Crew from back then which Matt formed. That name has come up a few times in previous podcast interviews. Especially Episode 23 with Brian Molloy who talks about the Morris County Adult Crew. Which, btw, I made merch for. You can check that out on thiswasthescene.com in the STORE. https://thiswasthescene.com/product-tag/mcac/ I got Matt on the phone and this is what we talk about: Hair metal Growing up in Morristown Straight edge Gorilla Biscuits His band Downfall The Music Den in Jefferson The NJ Impossibles Replacing Fortitude with Uprise on a show THE Morris County Adult and Youth Crew Ben from Dillinger Escape Plan being in the band Frank Cappuccio Their 7 in being pink Weston Hello Bastard's artwork ripping off another album And a ton more Check out Matt's other band Dead Nation on Spotify.
