We have a new singer, we have parted with Mad Joe. After many years, and many albums that we are really proud of, we’d like to welcome as our new frontman Frankie Puopolo @frankiepapalow of Death Before Dishonor. If you are not familiar with Frankie, check out the @thisishardcorefest podcast, his first show with his new band will be This is Hardcore. We have known Frankie forever, some of us have been in side projects with him, he has done guest vocals with us on a song called ‘My Promise’ in the past, Richie was is a side band called Trust in Few with him, and Mad Joe did guest vocals with Frankie’s acoustic stuff. You will love him, and we are getting to work asap, writing and recording. All our respect to Mad Joe, who we consider one of the best lyricist in the game. He has a project called @cooltonebrown that everyone should check out. Anyway, check out Frankie on the This is Hardcore podcast and check out an interview Richie did with No Echo @noechodotnet … MORE MUSIC SOON.
