HardLore's Day in Chicago with HARMS WAY, THE KILLER & HOLD MY OWN

It's a momentous day in HardLore history as we finally explored the hometown of half of our show: Chicago, Illinois.

We visited a few places around town (hand picked by Bo) where we were joined by very special guests for one on one conversations before finally all converging together at the legendary Fireside Bowl, Chicago's most iconic hardcore venue of the late 90s and early 00s.

Featuring Shane Merrill from The Killer, Chris Mills from Harms Way, and Anchit Chhabra from Hold My Own (and many other bands)

Thanks to Electric Mud, NADC Burger, Reckless Records and of course the Fireside for having us.

Reckless browsing music by Kevin MacLeod.
