This was probably the greatest podcast we have ever put out. Who would've thought on our 10th episode we interview music legend, THE legendary, underground music pioneer Ian Mackaye. Ian Mackaye has been in a huge amount of bands starting off in hardcore group Teen Idles to the greatest punk band in the world Minor Threat. After, in Alternative Rock group Embrace, Post-Hardcore band Egg Hunt, soon to the very expiremental Pailhead with the dudes in Ministry making a hardcore punk/industrial metal genre, and returning in 1992 with his fellow bandmates to release material from Skewbald. Ian Mackaye has left a landmark on music in general. His words and actions have inspired me throughout my whole life (maybe not Matt's but certainly mine.) Whenever I feel like a piece of shit or go through a rough day one listen to Minor Threat will cure me right away. Fugazi is one of the most experimental bands to come out of the punk scene (not to mention one of the greatest.) Embrace was one of the earliest pioneers for post-hardcore music, and currently playing some of the most intellectual music to date with his lovely wife, Amy Farina in The Evens. Dischord records is my personal favorite label or all time (note: this is Shawn, Matt likes his A-F Records) and has carried on the DIY ethics like no other. Dischord has put out some of the most influential records to date with no help from greedy promoters. I hope you enjoy this one. We have much MUCH more surprises from here.
