Grab your favorite mug and cue up your latest vinyl obsession, because Coffee and Hardcore is where two passionate worlds collide. Hosted by a crew with deep roots in the scene-Mic Cox, Wiley Willis, Stephen Scopa, and Jacob Landrau-this podcast feels like hanging out in a friend’s kitchen after a show. The conversation flows as easily between the nuanced notes of a single-origin brew as it does dissecting a classic hardcore record or the latest punk release. You’ll hear genuine, often hilarious conversations with musicians, artists, and other rad folks who live and breathe this culture, far from polished corporate interviews. It’s a mix of informed coffee reviews, passionate album chats, and the kind of unpredictable shenanigans that happen when friends get talking. Each episode is built on a shared love for the details, whether that’s the grind of beans or the breakdown in a song. For anyone who finds equal comfort in the ritual of a perfect cup and the chaotic energy of a punk chord, this is your audio home. The Coffee and Hardcore podcast is a welcoming, knowledgeable, and occasionally unhinged look at the things that fuel us, literally and figuratively.
