PUNK IN AFRICA (and a Stevie Ray Vaughn cover band just down the street)

07/12/21 • 90 min

Attention Docs-Till-Death-Heads! Break out your passports ‘cause we’re heading overseas to spend time with Punk in Africa. That’s right, it’s our first international doc! And not only did this movie introduce us to a significant cultural moment in early 80s South Africa, it also made us question whether we can say that we truly understand the term “punk.” Listen now, and get lost with us in the swell of floating signifiers!

How Much Interview Can You Take? Our chat with Drew Stone

Bonus Episode Alert! Matt and Pete sit down with Drew Stone (the director of All Ages, The New York Hardcore Chronicles, and Who the Fuck is this Guy?; the singer for Antidote NYHC; the host of The New York Hardcore Chronicles web series; and the mastermind behind a number of other interesting projects). After taking our lumps, we talk Drew’s intro to HC, his career in filmmaking, what he’s currently up to, as well as too many other cool things to list here. In an effort to not say too much about what else we discuss, the Docs Till Death crew will leave it at this: sit back, crack a can of Faygo, and enjoy the interview!

STRIFE: Geoff's ONE TRUTH

In this one, we discuss Strife’s early tour video (VHS!!!), One Truth. In the process, we confront one of the chief podcaster paradoxes: “Can a superfan suspended in reverie take on an analytical posture?“. While Geoff waxes nostalgic, Pete re-evaluates his own tour behavior and Matt says “no more!” to mid 90s Oakleys. It’s definitely a weird one, so you probably want to 1) x up, 2) break out the madeleines, and 3) give it a listen.
