The Pitch of Discontent

Angel Du$t might be ‘Cold 2 The Touch’ off the back of their latest (and greatest) LP, but you know when vocalist and golden-toothed hypeman Justice Tripp rips the mic, what you’re about to witness is destined to be straight fire.
Justice joins the show for a quick chat to rundown the important beats for Angel Du$t in 2026: coming back Down Under with Run For Cover Records alumni Superheaven, penning trauma tangents for the new record, adding the esteemed Jim Carrol to the AD team for a legacy hardcore link-up, his Mount Rushmore of real rockers, and why finally seeing the dentist ain’t so bad.

All good things must come to an end, and in many ways, every death is just a new beginning.
Friend of the show, big riff lifer, and returning champion Nate Garrett joins the pod this week to chat about bringing his incredibly prolific run with American metallers Spirit Adrift to a close, playing the perfect final* show with Crowbar and Eyehategod, and why the band’s last-ever LP, ‘Infinite Illumination’ (out now through 20 Buck Spin), is both spiritually heavy and heavily spiritual. (Just don't call him a practicing Christian.)
*You can now catch the band’s last-minute farewell shows as part of the Decibel Magazine tour across North America this April/May.

For our next guest episode, Xavier Morris and returning champion Alex Bertuna of Naarm/Melbourne sonic aggressors Melting jump on the show to chat about the upcoming release of the group’s sophomore EP, the hefty ‘A Pathetic Excuse For a Life’, out May 29th through Greyscale Records.
We chop it up about refining their sound and doubling-down on heaviness, capturing the look and feel of iconic 90's metal videos, the tension between fandom and challenging art, and why Crowbar are the GOAT's and Kirk Windstein is still the undeniable riff content king.

Despite their long-awaited fifth studio album being born from the subconscious pit of desire, loss, and personal struggle, UK alternative juggernaut Don Broco still know how to have fun. Frontman and all-around legend Rob Damiani pushes through an early AM start to join us for our ongoing Dispatch Bay series to chat about the impending release of ‘Nightmare Tripping’, out this week through Fearless Records.
Rob recaps Broco’s rapid growth and success over the last five years, how anxiety and writhing tension made for the group’s moodiest album yet, collaborating with Nickelback on the record’s killer title track, and why dream logic makes for surprising (and rewarding) creative fuel.

On their first studio album in seventeen years (!), Poison The Well sound aggressively triumphant. Rather than an empty vessel for the nostalgia of their glory days, ‘Peace In Place’, the group’s sixth LP and debut for SharpTone Records, distills their heaviest tendencies and melodic sensibilities into yet another expansive entry in the metalcore canon.
As part of our ongoing Dispatch Bay series, founding member and guitarist Ryan Primack joins the show to chat about ideas of legacy, searching for creative sanctuary, working with producer Will Putney, outside influences, and why tortoises deserve more goddamn respect.
