Episode 54- Michael Honch (Nuns on Death Row, Hunger Artist, Powerline) - a podcast by Enterprise Hardcore Podcast

For Episode 54, Greg Benoit (Rochester Hardcore History) and I had the privilege of interviewing Michael Honch about his time in the very early days of Rochester Hardcore. Michael played in local bands Nuns on Death Row, Mr. Clean, Hunger Artist, and Powerline. After that, he moved to DC for Graduate School. The conversation primarily centers around Nuns on Death Row and Hunger Artist. It's a very interesting discussion and I would think anyone who cares about knowing the roots of our local scene could gain something from this conversation. Most of the bands Michael has played in have music available online for you to listen to, including the bands he has been in over the last decade in DC. I'm including links to all of them below, as well as a couple other things related to the interview. We will have Michael back on the podcast at some point when the unreleased Hunger Artist LP sees the light of the day via Rabbit Rabbit Records. As always you can support the podcast on patreon. Thank you to everyone who helps keep this podcast running.


Due to some scheduling and technical issues, we recorded this interview in two separate segments. The second segment picks up around the 39 minute mark.
