Season Two - Episode 11 "Wiley's Worst Self Hiatus"

Author: Coffee And Hardcore November 30, 2021 Duration: 2:05:22

It's a new episode of the Coffee and Hardcore Podcast so you know what that means. It's a sad and happy episode because it's Wiley's last show until April of 2022! He's taking maternity leave to be with his wife Libby and welcome their baby boy into the world. But have no fear because the one and only Stephen Scopa from Straight Edge for Christ is stepping in to help. He's actually jumping in on this episode to introduce himself and help Mic with our interview with Joel Otte from Worst Self. We talk about their brand new, just shy of 15 minutes, behemoth of a single "Servant of Death" and also about sobriety, fatherhood and the future of the band. Wiley jumps back in the mix and we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of the coffee picks we have for this month. Wiley also grills Mic about the Prompt Journal he put together called Reflections. We also review 3 new albums and bid Wiley adieu as he and Libby start their new adventure. It's a jam packed episode, so buckle up buttercup. Here we go! - Don't forget the Coffee & Hardcore Setlist featuring bands and artists mentioned on this episode.

Coffee & Hardcore Setlist


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.
