28. JOHNOXBLOKE
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MAY 16, 2021 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. My guest today is one of my all time best friends, we share some stories of how we met and life back before we had to become adults then johno talks about his transition from pub bloke to full blown fitness legend and non drinking advocate. This episode will hit home if you are hitting the beers every single day/weekend and want that inspiration to make a change. Nothing good comes easy and johno has been putting in the work, dropped 20 kgs and feels the best he ever has. i play some songs from GODS HATE and NASTY too cause hardcore lives.
27. MENTAL HEALTH
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MARCH 13, 2021 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. This episode is about mental health and is dedicated to the friends we have lost due to suicide. Pete Bloke and Crafter give their thoughts on the current tragic events that have been occurring far too frequently. I play songs from the bands these guys used to be in and want to highlight the importance of a strong friendship group that has your interests in mind. Stay strong.
26. RUSS RANKIN XVX
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MARCH 2, 2021 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Me and pete caught up with our long time friend Russ from the punk bands GOOD RIDDANCE & ONLY CRIME. This bloke is punk rock royalty, i have been listening to his band since i started high school and he is a super nice vegan straight legend that we can proudly call our friend. We talk all about the start of his music career, US politics, touring and life in 2021.
25. JOSH SMITH
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON FEBRUARY 22, 2021 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Today I spoke with Northlane's guitarist Josh Smith, we chatted about the music industry, early tours, and the struggles that touring from an early age can have on your life down the track. Ive been a big Northlane fan for years, hugely because of them being influenced by my all-time favourite band which is MISERY SIGNALS. i play some songs, we talk shinfo, you know the deal by now. share, like, and subscribe.
24. MICK JEFFERY
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON FEBRUARY 11, 2021 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. The most metal dude to ever grace the podcast and the biggest guitar shredder I've ever seen. Mick is in Aversions Crown, and I used to be his roommate on the gold coast. He has been coming to byron bay shows since the early days and is a full blown yes man legend that gets himself into interesting situations by just saying yes. Listen to his stories and see what happens.
23. JOEL ATTENBOROUGH
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON JANUARY 21, 2021 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Today my special guest is Joel Attenborough, this guy has been in plenty of great hardcore and punk bands in his time, and is the guy that gave me alot of help starting this podcast because he runs his own much more professional sounding podcast called Myage Podcast. i should say the word podcast again i think. We have known each other for years and we talk about life, music and burritos. what else would you want to listen to huh.
21. BAINA
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON DECEMBER 1, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Yo desmonds, we are back again with another legend from one of Australia's heaviest bands Her Nightmare. Amongst all the other bands he has done, it has been nearly 20 years of doing music and everything he does is sick. Currently doing personal training and meal plan programs check out @trainingbybain on the gram for more. Like, share and subscribe and keep an ear out for more in the future.
20. JOSH WADE
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON OCTOBER 23, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. THE SELF CONFESSED SHINFO LORD RETURNS with another load of shinfo for you all. i crank up the extreme burn-o meter for this one as i have my second face to face interview ever. This guy is a long time mate that can handle a burn or two and loves a burger or 4. i play Confessions new song and a few from Sienna skies too. if anyone else wants to get interviewed just come join the tourists in the byron bay traffic jam and hit me up.
18. ALRIGHT, WE'RE BACK!
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON AUGUST 8, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Back by popular demand, forced out of retirement by the hardcore community. The podcast that the scene never knew they needed or wanted has returned with the 2 biggest legends in Australian hardcore. Firstly my co host and hardcore enthusiast PETE BLOKE is back to talk about life after the first SMASH show, and secondly Voted biggest legend and biggest dickhead of the year for pretty much every issue in the Blunt magazine poll its CRAFTER. Him and pig are the only 2 guests that have cracked over 1000 listens so i thought id get him back to get some popularity back. Exclusive SMASH news is announced plus i play the entire EP for you at the end. buckle up the shinfo lord has returned
17. XCHODEX
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON JULY 9, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. The final guest of the final episode is ME. Pete interviews me and I give my hardcore story. It's mostly just talking about touring and name-dropping the bands I have worked for and how many gigs Parkway Drive did in the old days. I have a great memory of dates and times so it's basically just a timeline of my life, with plenty of shinfo as usual. Thanks for the support. See you in hell.
15. FORGED X DESMOND
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON JUNE 27, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. What happens when you get the 2 biggest podcasts in Australian Hardcore together? You get 4 guys on zoom talking absolute shinfo and saying hardcore this and hardcore that for an hour. I played some songs that got the forge ahead dudes into hardcore and talk about their current band SPEED. I am extra loud and shit on this conversation and Pete's internet connection is so F%CKD that we can barely hear him.
14. LUKE PIG
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON JUNE 25, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. If you haven't heard of the band that todays guest plays in, you don't like Australian music full stop. This bloke has been my friend since high school and has been a huge part of building the Byron Bay Hardcore Scene from the ground up. Pete and I got on zoom together to chat about the old days, the band he formed with some of my other friends and stories of us on tour. Its filled with shinfo, lots of laughs and plenty of write-offs, also a bunch of songs too. My longest episode yet so get ready to hear how it all began in Byron Bay.
13. NICK HORSNELL
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON JUNE 18, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Today I caught up with a very old mate and surprise surprise we chatted some shinfo. But more importantly, we talked about the early days of his band MILES AWAY. Without a doubt, they were Perth City's biggest export and paved the way for the scene over there and played that fast posi youth crew sound that hadn't really been done in Australia yet. It was very hard to pick my fav songs so I played 4 of them. This is much more like a casual chat than an interview. Spread the word, spread the shinfo.
11. KEVIN CALL
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON JUNE 4, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Todays special guest is not only a legend of a bloke, but I am also proud to call him my brother-in-law. He was a member of Comeback Kid at the peak of their success with Turn it Around and Wake the Dead being game changers, and on their first tour to Australia in 2005, they not only played at the parkway drive basement to less than 10 kids but he also met my sister which was to become a long distance relationship before Kevin left the band and moved to our country and become a member of our family. Here is my first face to face live unedited interview with Kevin as we chat shinfo and find out about his life.
10. DIMMA (GRIM REALITY)
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MAY 29, 2020 ON THE SHINFO X DESMOND PODCAST. Grim Reality are by far the toughest band in Australian hardcore history and todays guest is the frontman DIMMA. He is definitely a man with alot of stories and Pete Abordi had a great chat with him, about the history of the band and the way the scene was back in the early 90's. This wraps up our 3 part mini series of Australian Hardcore Legends, thanks to all involved and hopefully this has inspired you to dust of those old CDs and vinyls and give them another spin. HARDCORE LIVES.
