It sorta doesn’t matter I don’t know a lot of the bands these guys talk about, because I love to hear them talk. Great personalities and have opened me up to the hardcore scene. Keep up the good work.

Love tuning in every week. Bob, Tom, and Patrick’s hardcore (and general music) knowledge is mind blowing at times— just straight up encyclopedias. Love the dynamic they have. Anthony (Podioslave Podcast)

I’ve been on this Amtrak since, I dunno, maybe day 3, but very early on. And what a great ride it’s been. I think I’m probably not alone in saying this pod helped reinvigorate my love for hardcore, and more importantly, it keeps me up-to-date and excited for new music. There’s no real format, just Pat, Bob, and Tom talking about hardcore. Even if you’re not interested in the subject matter, a lot of the time they’re just shooting the shoot about random whatevers. IMHO, I like it best when they are focused on a topic and go hard, whether it’s taking about a certain year in hardcore, going through a band’s discography, or breaking down a subgenre. So, if you like super nerdy hardcore talk, it’s here. If you like listening to dudes just talk, that’s also here. Certainly worth listening to either way.

I’ve heard every episode every Tuesday since episode 2, one of the best podcasts period and markedly the best hardcore music podcast. No one’s encyclopedic knowledge and charm is gonna turn me into a Beatles/Led Zeppelin/U2 fan any time soon - but this podcast, until someone else does this good of a job for 3+ years in a row, is THE authority on hardcore.

This here program is alive with pleasure.

YOUR HOT TAKE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IS HERE! LOOK NO FURTHER!

Really enjoy this pod. Helps the work day go by. Get into it - Greg Polard

These dudes said they’d rather listen to Aerosmith than the Ramones.

Amazing starting this episode off with Afghan whigs ! Thanks for always turning me on to a new band and keeping me up on new hardcore bands .

Found A2G roughly 2 months ago and now never miss an episode. I’ve dipped in and out of hardcore since 1995 but now more than ever I find myself listening to the music as A2G has re-inspired me. Pat, Tom and Bob...with their hot takes on music and band culture keep me laughing and coming back. Much respect. Hop on board with their Patreon for even more sick content as well.

Tom, Pat and Bob cover hardcore music past and present, with hilarious “hot takes,” lots of “energy” and plenty of “cheat codes.” Occasionally they pick a year in the past and talk about hardcore records that came out during that year, which I’m particularly fond of. A+

Hola cariño cómo está bien no sé 🤷‍♀️ qué 😯 no lo tengo claro si estoy hablando gato 🐱 tengo gatos 🐈 ja ya no puedo dormir 😴 no hola 👋🏽 no no no hola gente ha dicho

Lots of yes. Best hc conversations. Kickass, honest and hilarious.

Listening to this gets me nostalgic due to the non stop Albany NY talk. I don’t know anything current musically they are talking about but the listening parties can be cool. Also dig the years in hardcore they do. This always brings a smile to my face because it’s more than just a hardcore podcast.

The best podcast that brings together great banter and candid conversations about hardcore of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If you’re just getting into the world of hardcore music, this podcast is a must listen!

Instant 5/5 for talking about Ink & Dagger. Great pod!

Why am I just finding out about this podcast? I’m giving a 5 star alone because they mentioned Never Ending Game and I gave a listen and have been hooked since.

tho

Initially enjoyed the podcast until it took a weird turn down Tangent St. I only listened to hear the boys talk about Hardcore/Metal/Punk etc. Not interested in Pat(an agoraphobe weirdo), Bob(a pretentious bore) and Tom(who has the charm and charisma of a date rapist) talk about anything else except music.

Listen to guys tell it how it is about hardcore and sometimes other stuff.

Long enough to burn through most of my shift, competent hosts that don’t hawk CBD oil (looking @ u Jasta), and some genuine takes from Lil P Cashless, Bob & Tom that get people conversing in REAL life. THE hardcore podcast.

Would give 10/10 Choco Tacos if I could

I hope neither of these guys ever find true love because I want them to live together forever and do this podcast until the end of time. Hands down the funniest podcast

While their names may sound like the leading cast of a 90s sitcoms rest assured it is just as entertaining as a 90s sitcom. There are twists, there are turns, there are sports related tangents, comic book references only 4 members of their audience will understand, and of course there is Hardcore. It’s fun, fully backed.

Look forward to listening every week. Four stars because I just had to listen to three grown men cry and lecture their audience about the right way to vote on a contest. Come on.

This is the best pod cast ever. Patrick is Always the bad cop. He’s neurotic as well. Tom is funny and gives a lot of one-liners which I personally enjoy. And Bob just kind of keeps it all together and keeps it moving. Amazing amazing amazing thank you XOXO Brooklyn

How does this motley crue do it every episode, taking a wandering and relaxed conversation and churn it into podcast gold? There is a secret alchemy here of forces, insights, and deep nerdery that is hard to deny. Cannot wait each week for a new episode, and I hope the awesome guests just keep coming. Bless up

Turned on to the podcast from my buddy Carlos (No Echo). Great stuff, keep it going!

These gentlemen are consistently putting out great content to get me through night shifts. Not only do they turn me onto new music, but the long form banter is genuine. High five.

Strap those headphones in or blast the best hardcore podcast on full blast. Nothing can prepare your senses for the experience of listening to three angels lay down the truth on THE #1 hardcore podcast.

The minutiae that old hardcore kids want discussion of everything related to the hardcore experience. Every episode makes me laugh and want to punch one of the hosts.

also get that patreon. lil p ka$less is a god.

I can’t say I even agree with 50% of what is said, but this is great. I’m 45 and remember some of the bands discussed fondly, others I don’t know a fn thing about and others I absolutely LOATHE. But, entertaining nonetheless. Awesome job!

Super awesome podcast!

Thank you for pulling me into the podcast world! Never been a listener but A2G content was just too interesting to not be sucked in. Now I make time for several because of how excellent A2G is! If you’re into hardcore, especially if you’re and older hardcore head like me (43), there’s something for you here.

I listen to this constantly through out my day at work when I’m driving around, I’m always engaged and never bored! Thanks for that and keep it up.

Found this thru Noecho.net and so glad I did! Just a fantastic listen! Too many items to mention, but discovering new bands, new old bands and just listening in on buddies talk about hardcore is great! As an old dude who always likes this stuff but never realized the depth and breadth of this type of music it is a must listen!!

“Hardcore adjace”

The only podcast I actually listen to (without a visual). Please make a YouTube and film the episodes if possible! Still the sickest podcast either way. Keep it movin.

good show cheers from malaysia -faraz

As a casual fan of hardcore music and long time punk niche music fan, this is the greatest podcast around! It’s great to hear this about music I love when I have no one else to talk to about it!

Finally a podcast about something important!

Great podcast. Makes a semi old dude like myself who isn’t actively involved in the hardcore scene, feel like I’m back in the saddle and involved again. And makes me want to check out new music.... thanks dudes keep up the great work.

Finally a podcast about hardcore recorded by older gentlemen with intact brain cells, speaking thought out sentences into name brand microphones. The level of quality and intellect in this show is rare in a new podcast so JUMP ON EARLY. Great guests, great hosts and great topics. Let’s all hope they don’t break up and do a reunion episode in four years!

A good time love it

Great Podcast, really dig the longer episodes that help my work day move faster. Grind more axes!

Best HC podcast going. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

I am absolutely addicted to this podcast. Hearing these dudes and others on this pod is like listening to my friends and I’s conversations at our local coffee shops or at shows. I appreciate the diversity in opinions and the honesty as well as their willingness to not only back new bands and appreciate bands of the past. As a 20something year olds right in The middle of the Orange County Hardcore scene in Southern California my friends and I can’t get enough of this pod and we want to start our own. Every time I listen I wish I could jump in to the conversation! If you like Hardcore past and present and everything in between listen to this Pod!!!

This is such a good podcast with educated opinions on Punk and Hardcore music and I have loved every single episode so far.
