In this episode, we have the honour of hosting our friend yaar-e-Aly, from Utrecht, Netherlands. As the lead singer of the hardcore band Snake Eater, and a member of the collectives Silent Call and Zalzala, he talks about how it was like growing up as a Pakistani in the Netherlands, how he got into hardcore, and his band, Snake Eater.

We also discuss his perspective of Islam, how he experiences religion as a Muslim, and the relationship between the punk/hardcore scene and anti-imperialism & orientalist theories.
