HardLore is joined by Ryan George & Todd Jones of CARRY ON for a thorough deep dive into the complete history of the band, following their long awaited return this past June at Tied Down fest, and on the eve of their hometown return at Sound & Fury festival.From beginning as a metallic band called Persevere in Atascadero, California, to changing their name (and their many lineups), recruiting Todd, Corey Williams and Nick Jett in the band, finding their musical identity on their Roll With The Punches 7", refining it on their one and only album A Life Less Plagued, and Ryan infamously deciding to stop being straight edge, quickly ending the band... This is a fascinating window into a band Bo and I grew up listening to and loving for 20+ years, and it was honor to be in the room as these two shared so much about such a beloved band. X's always win.____________HardLore: A Knotfest Series, fueled by Monster Energy.Shot, Mixed & Edited by Steven GriseTitle sequence by Nicholas Marzluf • Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episode.• Join the HARDLORE DISCORD.• Get 10% off GUILTY PARTY site-wide with code HARDLORE and grab some of our favorite clothing brands of all time.• Get 10% off MILLS VINTAGE site-wide with code HARDLORE.____________00:00:00 - Start00:01:13 - Hello Welcome00:02:18 - Ryan Finding Hardcore & Meeting Todd00:07:19 - Becoming Straight Edge / Strife's Influence in the 90s00:12:37 - Persevere / Ryan's First Band00:16:14 - CARRY ON00:23:44 - Revisiting Carry On Lyrics / The Line Is Drawn 7"00:31:07 - Pickle Patch00:32:04 - Roll With The Punches / Todd Joining Carry On00:40:57 - Off My Chest00:46:14 - Pardon This Interruption...00:48:15 - American Nightmare & Signing to Bridge Nine00:52:25 - A Life Less Plagued01:16:27 - Ryan Questioning Hardcore & Straight Edge01:19:37 - Breaking Edge01:22:56 - Terror01:24:02 - Reconciling Post Edge Break01:26:42 - Ending Carry On01:28:58 - New Carry On Material?01:31:40 - Carry On Ends, Terror Begins01:33:35 - Hearing The Terror Demo01:34:19 - Last Shows At Showcase Theater01:41:30 - Youth Code01:44:24 - The Carry On Coke Lines Shirt01:46:22 - Carry On From 2005 - 202501:52:48 - Expectations Going Into the Upcoming Sets01:54:53 - Tied Down, Returning to the Stage01:58:28 - Theoretically Giving Up On Music02:01:18 - Youth Code And Getting Into Industrial Music02:09:55 - Veganism02:13:29 - Top 4 Hardcore Records
