In this engaging conversation, Chris Enriquez (On the Might of Princes, Spotlights, New Noise Magazine) shares his journey from being a fill-in drummer to a full-time member of the band Spotlights, discussing the challenges and triumphs of being a musician in today's music landscape. The discussion delves into the importance of community, the role of media in promoting underground music, and the resurgence of emo and DIY music culture. Chris reflects on the evolution of emo and post-hardcore, the impact of social media on music discovery, and the significance of DIY venues in fostering local music scenes. The conversation concludes with reflections on the legacy of influential bands and the future of music culture.
Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!
