<p>A few weeks ago, Bo & I had the special privilege of traveling to Nashville to get an inside look into the making of DRAIN's "...Is Your Friend" U.S. tour with No Pressure, Haywire and Secret World, via our friends at Monster Energy. </p> <p>This was our first OFFICIAL "assignment" on behalf of Monster since we started working with them officially in January, and it's a bittersweet example of what was to come of this dream partnership. We're so grateful for the memories that this has created since losing our beloved Bohan Lueders, for what has now become his penultimate HardLore episode ever. </p> <p>We spent several days with the band & their crew made up entirely of hardcore musicians from bands like Rotting Out, Cosmic Joke, One Step Closer and more to give you all an inside look at their gear & production. We hope you enjoy this unique episode that was a first and last for us as a duo, where Bo’s unique knowledge and passion for gear was on full display.</p> <p>Go see them <a href="https://drain831.com/tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">near you</a> soon.</p> <p>Head to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hardloremerch.com </a>to grab a Bo memorial t-shirt for an amazing cause that we can't wait to tell you more about soon...</p> <p>________________</p> <p>00:01:44 - Chapter 1: DRAIN, Before The Storm</p> <p>00:06:29 - Chapter 2: HardLore Hardware Highlight, Drain's Gear</p> <p>00:48:25 - Chapter 3: They're The Crew, Meet Drain's Touring Crew</p> <p>01:17:24 - Chapter 4: Drain & Co.'s Top 4 Hardcore Records</p> <p>01:22:10 - Chapter 5: Day One of Tour in Dallas Texas</p> <p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>HardLore: A Knotfest Series, Fueled by Monster Energy</strong></i></p><p>Edited by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamonenineseven/" target="_blank"><strong>Steven Grise</strong></a> • Title sequence by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/marzluf/?hl=en" target="_blank"><strong>Nicholas Marzluf</strong></a></p><p>Join the <a href=" https://patreon.com/hardlorepod" target="_blank"><strong>HARDLORE PATREON</strong></a> to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes.</p><p>Join the <a href="https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef" target="_blank"><strong>HARDLORE DISCORD</strong></a><strong> </strong>for community discussions and to participate in our future Q&amp;A episodes.</p><p>FOLLOW<strong> HARDLORE</strong>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM,</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hardlorepod" target="_blank">TWITTER</a>, <a href=" https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrp" target="_blank">SPOTIFY</a><a href=" https://apple.co/3IKBss2" target="_blank">, APPLE</a></p><p>FOLLOW <strong>COLIN</strong>: <a href=" https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a></p><p>FOLLOW <strong>BO</strong>: <a href=" https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM, </a><a href=" https://www.twitter.com/bosxe" target="_blank">TWITTER</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For sponsorship opportunities, email us! <strong>[email protected]</strong></p></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
