Razorcake Podcast 694 Chris

from Razorcake

This summer is more sentimental than previous ones. When I started playing in garage bands in 2006, I started going to backyard shows with generic emo-core bands that were more focused on getting signed to a record label than building a real connection and maintaining a DIY community in Southern California. The current music scene feels different. We have more bands who have embraced the do-it-yourself attitude by self-releasing their music and supporting alternative venues. Plus, many more up-and-coming bands are advancing the screamo/post-hardcore genre while fostering a more supportive and collaborative community. This podcast is a reflection of that journey, featuring songs that have defined my current summer alongside tracks that bring back memories of summers long gone. Enjoy -Christian Valles
