HardLore & The Downbeat (Craig Reynolds): Live at Blissmas
For the very first time... HardLore and The Downbeat (Craig Reynolds) together at last.
Two podcasts finally collide LIVE at a sold out event in Buffalo, New York before Better Lovers' second annual Holiday show: Blissmas.
Filmed live by our good buddy Rob Menzer (New York HardLore series) and edited in record time by our main man Steven 197, enjoy this incredibly special live episode of both shows in one. We do all our stuff and bits and things. It rocked.
Thanks to Tom Williams for making it happen and Craig for being awesome/accommodating with getting this video out ASAP.

Leah Massey (Pest Control)
This week on HardLore features special guest Leah Massey, vocalist of the United Kingdom's absolute best and brightest new band: PEST CONTROL.
The crossover band inspired by classics such as Anthrax and Suicidal Tendencies also draws from some of HardLore's cult favorites like the Crumbsuckers, and Leah walks us through her journey from young emo kid, to discovering hardcore in Leeds' vibrant hardcore scene, to taking the natural next step to singing for multiple bands.
...Now she's on the cover of Kerrang, they've played Outbreak Fest multiple times, and Metal Hammer called Pest Control "The UK's most exciting new band."
We're proud to welcome Leah to the show to tell her story in this fantastic conversation.
