One of the most consistently requested guest since the beginning of HardLore: THOMAS PEARSON, vocalist of Atlanta's FOUNDATION finally joins us for an epic 3-hour episode documenting Foundation's beginning, ending, and everything in between.Since their breakup in 2016, Atlanta's FOUNDATION has become a mythical band to new fans of hardcore music, a band who's message carried as much meaning and weight as their now-iconic metallic twist on straight edge hardcore. We discuss Thomas' beginnings as a hardcore kid inspired by frontmen who went above and beyond to use their time on stage as a platform to do good, his bands before Foundation, how writing evolved when Hank joined the band, putting everything they had (at the time) into their one and only LP, and finally going out on their shield with their best record.This was one of our favorite conversations in the history of the show, enjoy.HardLore is now on Patreon!
