Maybe it’s an ol head bias, maybe it’s old school 619, but this is my favorite genre pod. They cover old stuff that makes me reconsider my prejudices about certain niches in the early eras. They pull my coat on new favorites (shout out NightFever: Kopenhagen HC). Keep up the work lads. Thank you for the show and the effort.

This show was pretty cool . They interviewed a lot of old hardcore/Nardcore /punk people. Then that stopped. It became about lists and discussions of lists . Not sure about the direction change. I haven’t listened in a year or two . I always check it tho .

What did Rick ta Life say is about the best thing ever!

It’s been said a few times already cause it’s true. Listen to this, like now!

Just moved to the 805. Oxnard is the sickest. This pod does a great job capturing that energy and beyond past and present.

To make a long story short, I work a lot and have a lot going on. Also, I’ve always loved hardcore. This podcast has helped streamline my music listening with the playlists and with the references to similar or influential bands to the ones being highlighted. It’s not an exaggeration to say there’s a before and after this podcast as far as my ability to keep up with the fast paced world of punk and hardcore. Example- someone mentions offhand the band Irate on their workout playlist, and now, that’s one of my favorite bands.

I love the various segments and the conversations with the various guests and some of the new bands I am exposed to. Great stuff to get me through the work day.

A bunch of cranky, but fun, “old dudes” talking about the best genre ever. Great listen. Keep it up!!

A treasure. - Chef Josh

Dope podcast is an understatement. Very knowledgeable group of dudes. You can tell their grasp on hardcore and its history from just listening to a couple minuets of a random convo they have. Besides that they have guests from within the scene, they review music, talk about different periods and sub cultures within every era of the hardcore scene. Plus, every episode comes with a playlist so you can hear the songs and artists mentioned.

This pod is ill

You into Cali style HARDCORE? Here you go fool! Now Listen!

The thoughtful reviews, history, and interviews are great.

If you love hardcore, you have to listen to this pod. The “super 7’s” are the best. Love the regulars and the guests. Learning more about the bands I’ve loved for 20+ years and new perspectives on classic albums (as well as new bands) is awesome.

Absolutely great!

If you don’t know, now you know. When it comes to punk and hardcore deep dives, this pod is da best!

The best hardcore related podcast!

I wish I could say I’ve been listening since Episode 1 (The Legend Joe Rivas), but having hopped on at Episode 6 (the best dressed man on the pod, Dan Sant), I can safely say this is one of, if not da best hardcore punk rock podcasts out there. Now is a great time to jump on. It’s a good mix of structured, very informative interviews and more loose and fun talk about punk and hardcore in general, old and new. But do yourself a favor and dig in the archives. Zack has some great interviews with people spanning different eras and areas of Southern California, with an emphasis on his hometown Nardcore scene. 185 has something for everyone. If you were into hardcore in the 00s and lived on the west coast, you should enjoy the cast of characters. If you’re a historian or music nerd, you’ll probably learn a thing or two. And if you’re still actively into punk and hardcore, it’s not all “back in my day.” They still talk and push new bands and records all the time.

Zack brings true punk/hardcore knowledge in this podcast, you need to listen and learn!

is a legend.

Funny commentary and interesting historical dives into your favorite punk and hardcore scenes. Awesome interviews and i always go down the super 7 playlist rabbit hole. Find new songs or relive the songs that shaped your younger years!

This is a real fun listen, the interviews are well done and come from a place of passion so there don’t seem to be too many blind spots or omissions in the question dept. The group discussions are great, seemingly simple topics or trivia is SO MUCH FUN when these guys dive in. An interesting collection of ppl w/great insight to how hardcore works and why we love it so much.

A great in depth doscussion every week on hardcofe music. i havent found a better podcast deficated to genuinw discussion and hving better chemistry than this podcast. i enjoy how lowley it is and

Awesome hardcore punk rock podcast…‘da best’. US hc, west coast hc, Cali hc, SoCal hc and of course Nardcore. Zac and co. are super knowledgeable from the beginnings and prior, up until present day. Great guests sharing amazing stories. Lots of interviewees you won’t find any where else.Different cool segments also big just interviews. From reliving old moments to learning new stuff there’s always quality content. Highly recommend.

The best hardcore podcast

Killer interviews building a nardcore timeline and diving deep into the history of the scene. Love it, one of my favorite music/punk focused podcasts.

The pod is epic

Such an awesome podcast. I love hardcore.

Always a fun time!

Awesome listen every episode!!

I love this podcast. If you’re interested in the hardcore scene or have been involved in it at any given time, this is a GEM! A lot of back stories, a lot of insight on some amazing events through out the years. Thank you for putting this on!

This is an epic podcast for anyone that has been involved in or is interested in the hardcore punk scene.

I’m from Raleigh NC and never realized how little I know about west coast hardcore. Obviously love black flag and circle jerks, but I honestly don’t know a lot of the bands you guys name drop which makes me excited. There’s still some digging left to do. Only really been hype to Cali hc as of recent. Cali been killin it lately.

This is one of the best Hardcore podcasts. Great conversations that are often California related but go way beyond that.

Great podcast for fans of hardcore.

Great pod

Great interviews with cool folks

I enjoy this podcast.

Love it! Fun to reminisce!

Great podcast with the legendary Eddy Numbskull! Loved the history of how Numbskull started and the influence it’s had in the music scene for the past 31 years!

Started from the beginning with episode 1, the legend Joe Rivas. This podcast is a great in depth documentary of hardcore punk rock music from my local hometown of Oxnard California. Taught me a ton of stuff I didn’t know and re-enforced the knowledge I had. If you’re interested in old school hardcore music from Southern California definitely check this out!

This rules.

Zack Nelson is a true music historian, always digging to get to the bottom of the stories behind legendary hardcore punk bands from the So Cal scene. 185 Miles South is an indispensable resource for any fan of the genre. 6 stars.

Nardcore wasn’t just a punk rock scene. To many it was a way of life. Zack does an excellent job at depicting that lifestyle, with the music at its center.

The concept of this podcast and the people on it are fun. Love hearing the stories and interviews. Can’t wait for more!

Amazing pod cast about real so cal hardcore!

This podcast is a great listen if you’re over 40 and like to get nerdy about the core for over an hour or two. My teenager says “you’re such a dad” when I listen to this. Rest assured that there are no Fugazi deep dives and I hope that continues, even after January 15th. - Jarrod (@casualtyofthecore)

Great listening each week. No shortage of in-depth discussion and funny stories!

This pod is sick. I like it.

Great pod if you love punk rock / hardcore music. Dives deep into the history of the music scenes of Oxnard/Ventura County and San Diego. Highly recommend!
