Aerial View

Don’t miss a very special crossover episode as Chris T. introduces his new Newsletter & Podcast documenting the process behind writing his upcoming book NIHILISTIC: How a hardcore band saved my life… then nearly killed me. “A memoir with guitar,” NIHILISTIC is a coming-of-age cautionary tale following two forlorn, friendless, dead-end suburban “Lawn Guyland” fat kids who form a band and end up on the legendary stages of the NYHC (New York Hardcore) scene. We see how each interpret the lessons of their particular moment and the way success in their milieu warps their friendship until one tries to murder the other. 

This special Aerial View contains the first installment of NIHILISTIC Pod, recorded July 4th on my stoop as people streamed up the block in an attempt to see Macy’s fireworks. It includes an update on the progress of the NIHILISTIC book and – bonus – a recording of an old phone call with Mike from the Nihilistics, who denies threatening my life. Then I’m at the Meadowlands Flea talking about Saturday’s Nihilistics show in Hazlet, NJ. Listen for the second episode of NIHILISTIC Pod documenting the trip Keith Hartel and I took to Bulletproof Music Studios to see The Nihilistics on a bill with Fear Gods. What a strange damn night (I write all about it for today’s installment of the NIHILISTIC Newsletter).
