Episode 40 - Interview w/ Leave No Doubt (Sam Trapkin of Trapped Under Ice and Cole James of Grief Recovery Method)
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! In this very special episode, Nate and Jesse are joined by the hosts of Leave No Doubt, a podcast about fatherhood, Sam Trapkin (Trapped Under Ice) and Cole James (Grief Recovery Method). The dads have a great conversation about what it takes to really be a man for your family. Doing what's best for your family means taking care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. We do our best as dads and husbands when we become someone who is able to be physically strong for their family, but also emotionally available. It's also so important for guys to have brothers around them who they can be open with about their mental and emotional struggles, and know that they won't be pressured to just "get over it", and trust that someone is there to listen and be there for them.

Episode 39 - Interview w/ Carl Severson of Ferret Music and Nora
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! Nate and Jesse discuss football season, how much fun it is to discover and share new bands in the hardcore scene, and the struggle as dads to find a balance between allowing your older kids to make their own decisions and have fun while they're still young, and also making the hard decisions for them because you know it's what's best. This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Carl Severson, owner of Ferret Music, vocalist of Nora, and all-around scene legend. Carl chats with the guys about the history of Ferret music, including some of the legendary albums they put out from bands like Converge, Killswitch Engage and Every Time I Die. They also talk about passing on the love of heavy music to our kids and how his sons have both grown up to love the scene and have their own involvement in it. Towards the end of the conversation, we spend time talking about Carl's friend, and one of the kindest souls in hardcore, Andy Williams.

Adam chats with the dads about what it's like making music in Florida, and building the hardcore scene in a place that has been overlooked in the past.

Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Brad Moxey of Evergreen Terrace. Brad shares his story of playing drums on and off-again for the band over the years, a wild ladder injury, and what led to him finally deciding to rejoin permanently.

Episode 35 - Sound & Fury Recap
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, the dads recap their weekend at Sound & Fury. There were unforgettable sets from legendary bands, fresh sounds from new bands, and collabs that will be burned into our memories forever. We hung out with friends, made some new ones and already can't wait for next year. One thing that stood out during Sound & Fury, with no barriers, was the massive stage pile-ons. While hardcore has always been interactive, and the best shows are no-barrier shows...are pile-ons becoming too much? Are they getting to a point where it's ruining the experience for bands and the rest of the crowd? Nate and Jesse break it down. Additions to the Dads Who Mosh Playlist: Jesse - "The Product is You" by Incendiary Nate - "Be Harder" by God's Hate Upcoming Shows: Jesse - Division of Mind, Mongrel, Bloodshed - September 11th, San Diego, Corazon del Barrio Follow us!

Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! It's Sound & Fury Week! Nate and Jesse get stoked for the festival by going over each band for both days of the show and highlighting the ones they're most excited for. Can't wait to see everyone there! In Dad world, the guys talk about what it's like to slowly turn into a dad and start having your own "dad-isms". Eventually, we all get upset about the thermostat. Becoming dads has given us the ability to learn more about our own dads and continue to be the best that we can for our kids.

Episode 33 - Interview w/ Joe Musten of Advent and Beloved
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Joe Musten (Advent, Beloved). The dads talk about the state of the scene in North Carolina and how Advent is among a whole list of hardcore bands that continue to shape the scene. Joe also shares stories about touring, the impact that Beloved has had on people, Furnace Fest, and almost getting into fights at shows with other bands on the lineup. The dads also talk about how being a dad and a son or daughter requires a ton of grace. Parents don't have it all figured out, and you really start to understand that when you become a parent yourself. The best we can hope for is to be the best we can possibly be for our kids.

Episode 32 - Full Warped Tour '26 Review and We Debate Circle Pits
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Jesse recaps Warped Tour in Long Beach! The vibes, the bands, the people there, were all great and made for a great weekend. Later, the moshing debates continue as the guys talk "rowboats" in mosh pits, the level of skill required for a circle pits, and bands calling out moshers during shows. The dads also discuss how dad life can often be very much like the punk/hardcore scene. Dads today have to choose to go against the grain, and put aside the self-serving nature of our current culture, and do things that don't make sense to a lot of people around us who don't have families to take care of. No matter what we give up to help raise our families, we wouldn't trade it for the world! Bands You Should Know: Nate - Qwan (@qwanhc) Jesse - Start Today (@starttodayhc) Hardcore News: - Spiritbox front-woman, Courtney, calls out violent fan in crowd - A storage unit belonging to Andrew Wetzel, drummer of Attack Attack! is broken into, but thief leaves band merch and albums untouched - Knocked Loose, Denzel Curry and Combust announce free show in Brooklyn -Haywire, Fiddlehead, Colin of Arabia and more announce free show in Boston with donation of school supplies New Releases: - Boundaries, "Yearning: The Unbeautiful After" (LP) - No Pressure, "NP Style" (LP) - Pain of Truth, "Unforgiven" (single, feat.

Episode 31 - Interview w/ Jay from Bayway
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by a very special guest, Jay from Bayway! Jay hops onto the podcast while on the road with No Cure, Big Ass Truck and Boltcutter. The guys talk about live shows, the energy that Bayway brings to each tour, despite often being the "odd duck" on the ticket. Jay also talks about Hellfest, and how the payoff after months of planning and re-planning was so huge and those who made it this past year know how special of a time it was. As a dad, Jay has made some major decisions for the benefit of his family, including making the decision to get sober, almost three years ago now. It's not an easy thing to switch from "Jay from Bayway Mode" while on tour, fronting a hardcore band, to "Dad Mode" when he gets home to mulch the lawn and get the backyard ready for graduation parties, but Jay's here for every minute of it. At the end, Jay makes his honorary addition to the Dads Who Mosh Playlist with the song "Anger" by Downset. This was a very special episode for us, and we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had recording it. Follow us!

The dads also talk about how when it comes to men's mental health, it's not just talking and not just action that helps guys, but it's both.

The dads talk about the issue of "gatekeeping" and what it's like to have so many newcomers to the hardcore scene.

In Dad World, the guys talk about how they budget for shows so that they don't send their family into poverty over band merch. They also talk about the benefits of having a wife who lets you be your weird self.

Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, the dads are joined by Justin Green from Propositions! Justin, Nate and Jesse talk about Justin's new single, "Death Plan, feat. UnWorthy" that dropped 5/18. Justin fills them in on his influences, what it's like building a band on his own, from the ground up, and finding help from his personal heroes in the scene. Projects like Propositions are proof that the DIY spirit of hardcore is still alive and well. Be sure to check out Propositions new single and follow @propositions_hc for more! Later in the podcast, Jesse and Nate go over the final STACKED lineup for Sound and Fury and get excited about the festival in August. In Dad World, the guys talk about how busy life can be, and the crazy demands that are placed not only on parents, but on their kids as well. With life so demanding nowadays, getting away and spending time together as a family, apart from the pressures of life is key.

Episode 22 - From Basement to the Big Stage: What the Future of Hardcore Festivals Looks Like
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This week, the dads talk about the Terror show in Pomona at the Glasshouse and the conflict between security and the fans and the struggle that comes with venues who, in the words of Scott Vogel, want the money from hardcore, without being hardcore. They also discuss the lineup announcement from Furnace Fest and how the future of the festival was finally revealed. While whoever bought Furnace Fest out obviously has deep pockets and is able to bring in the biggest names in heavy music, the fear for those who cherish the spirit of Furnace Fest is that the heart of the festival is now gone. While mental health is a major focus of this podcast, physical health is a big deal too, so Nate and Jesse share their tips on preventing a week of soreness from one night in a mosh pit. This week's segments: Bands you should know: Nate: The Fight is Now (@thefightisnow) Jesse: Piss Ant (@pissant_hxc) Hardcore News: - Furnace Fest drops 2026 lineup and it is received with mixed reviews.
