About HardLore

Hardcore + Lore = HardLore.

Starting in April 2022, HardLore: Stories From Tour quickly became one of the top music podcasts in the USA.

Featuring stories from the touring lives of musicians and other friends from the world of hardcore/punk/metal music, the show evolved into mini-biographies of many notable weekly guests.

By July of the same year, HardLore established their presence at hardcore festivals and shows around the world, documenting the growth of hardcore and finding new ways for audiences to get to know their favorite bands and grow the genre and community they love.

Hosts Colin Young (Twitching Tongues/God's Hate) & Bo Lueders (Harms Way/xWeaponx) took the HardLore name and goal a step further by creating a record label in early 2024 by co-releasing Cosmic Joke’s debut 12” with Triple B Records.
