Anthony Russo & Big Rob Castoria (The Mamaluke Show)
The Mamaluke Show starring Anthony Russo, Rob Castoria, and yours truly. After recording separate episodes with these guys, we had a text thread going on and decided to combine our idiotic behavior and do an episode with the three of us. So here it is. A bunch of nonsensical banter, along with a couple of serious topics as well. We talk a bit about the All day Barbecue/Benefit show I am currently putting together at Lucky 13 Saloon for Robs mom, as well as touch on the fact that our friend Lou Koller is currently cancer-free. Then, we dive back into insignificant ramblings of mental patients. Enjoy.

Craig Setari (Sick Of It All)
My friend Craig Ahead is the guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast (Group). He's been on several times in the past, but it's been a while.
We pretty much catch up on what's been going on with him since Sick Of It All is on a temporary hiatus due to the unfortunate situation with Lou. We touch on his run with Marky Ramone and JUDGE for a moment and head right back into some nonsensical banter about food, his ancient Chinese secret meatball recipe, and some boxing talk. Always one of my favorite people to hang and bullshit with. Enjoy.

Nate Holly is my guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace. A short, twenty-second video that came across my feed caught my attention. It turns out the clip was of their first ever show a couple of months ago. I needed to know the story behind this band and the heavily tattooed man singing with a buck knife on his hip. So, I reached out. Vile Mind is just a few months old, and they've been making noise in the Huntington, West Virginia area, and due to that video clip, a lot of people are aware of them now. Nate couldn't have been a nicer, more gracious guy. A tattoo artist at Prestige Tattoo & Piercing, a father as well as a man with over a dozen years of sobriety under his belt. He helped create the Huntington Music Collective, which is a grassroots, DIY movement that brings hardcore shows to the area. An area that has been decimated by drugs over the years, he has created a positive space for kids and adults alike to come and hang out without drugs or alcohol. I'm glad I reached out to him. I'm sure he'll be back on with another member of Vile Mind once their first EP drops next month. The utmost respect to him and what he is doing in Huntington, West Virginia.

Anthony Russo Jr. (A Breed Apart NYHC)
Available now everywhere here:
https://linktr.ee/thebrooklynblastfurnace
I have no idea why he hasn't been on the show several years ago, at least a couple of times. This was way overdue. My guest is my boy Anthony Russo, Jr. He is the singer for New York Hardcore band, A Breed Apart.
We go on and on about hardcore, how social media ruined a lot of shit, the days from when I was booking shows at Lucky 13 Saloon and a ton of other banter. We probably could've babbled on for another couple of hours easily.
One thing is for sure, there's not many of us left. So, sit back and listen to how neither of us has a Brooklyn accent whatsoever.
