185 Miles South

251. Al Barile (SS Decontrol)

We're back and talking hardcore. This week, I'm joined by Al Barile of SS Decontrol for a lengthy conversation. We get into early Boston hardcore, recording The Kids Will Have Their Say, who Al thinks played fast hardcore better, the shifting sound, playing California, and tons more.
