Episode 143 - Charles Cure (Spiritkiller, Endicott, Hush)

Josh and Greg interview Charles Cure from Albany, NY's @spiritkiller_hc on episode 143. Spiritkiller  is classic 90s style hardcore with detectable post-hardcore and metal influences, and will appeal to fans of Integrity, Helmet and Orange 9mm.

Charles has also been in a number of notable hardcore bands over the last twenty years including Endicott, Hush, Crisis Actor, Jaws, and Hush.

Charles discusses his introduction to the mid-90s hardcore scene in Albany, NY and his experiences booking shows in the small, rural college town of Potsdam, NY. We hear about the formation of Endicott, how the band came to be affiliated with Equal Vision Records, and some of Charles' experiences touring with the band in the early 2000s.

Charles spends most of the time discussing Spiritkiller, their writing and recording process,  some of guitarist Tom's former bands (You & I, the Assistant, This Ship Will Sink), and their EP released on @protaginc.

Spiritkiller has an upcoming weekend tour with @easyblame and will be performing at @thelosthorizonsyracuse in Syracuse, NY on Friday, November 17th and at @californiabrewhaus Rochester, NY on Saturday, November 18th.

Checkout the Spiritkiller track "Kaleidoscope" after the credits. Additional recordings by Spiritkiller can be found at spiritkillerhc.bandcamp.com.
