Happy new year! This week I hop on the phone with Gavin Van Vlack who is the guitarist for the much respected and revered bands Burn and Absolution. It was a very inspirational chat that hits on New York City hardcore, being a movement enthusiast and how to say engaged and inspired. A crucial listen. - - - -This weeks show is brought to you by Level Up, by Loot Crate which wants to hook you up with all of the coolest pop culture gear.
