Patrick Cozens from Restraining Order
from 100 Words Or Less: The Podcast
In this episode, we sit down with Patrick Cozens, frontman of Restraining Order, the Massachusetts/Connecticut hardcore band known for blending classic early ’80s energy with modern urgency. Patrick talks about growing up in the New England scene, how Restraining Order first came together, and the balance between being easygoing offstage and all-out intensity onstage. We dig into how both he and the band have grown over the years—from sweaty DIY shows to playing some of hardcore’s biggest stages—and how the scene itself has shifted since he first got involved. Patrick reflects on the changing spirit of hardcore, the lessons learned through touring, and what personal growth looks like when you’ve spent years living and breathing this music.
