Episode 169 - Overthrow

Greg interviews Anthony and Chris from Long Island, NY's Overthrow on episode 169 of the Hardcore Archive Podcast. Overthrow were first active in the Long Island and NYHC scene in the mid-1990s and played shows throughout the northeast with bands like E-Town Concrete, Indecision, Kid Dynamite, Shutdown, and Madball. The guys in ⁠⁠@overthrow_lihc⁠⁠ were all friends before starting the band, and discovered hardcore together while they were in high school. We hear about their experience playing shows in the New York area and how the band came to be affiliated with Triple Crown Records. Anthony and Chris discuss the reunion shows over the past decade that ultimately lead to the band reforming and writing new music. The conversation shifts to discuss growing older while still maintaining connections to the hardcore music community, how hardcore has provided an outlet for grief over the loss of friends and family, and how hardcore influenced them as fathers. We hear about the new songs Overthrow has recently recorded, two of which can be found on the popular music streaming platforms, and the forthcoming record due out this fall. We wrap up the interview by hearing about a few of the shows Overthrow has coming up with ⁠⁠@gridironhardcore⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@e.townconcrete⁠⁠ on August 9th and ⁠⁠@extinctionad⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠@swornenemynyc ⁠⁠on September 8th. Be sure to check out Overthrow's new songs "The Calling" and "Anywhere But Here" on all the major streaming platforms.
