Episode 41 - Interview w/ Johnny Grimes of Furnace Fest
2026/10/07
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This is Furnace Fest Week! Furnace Fest will always hold a special place in the dads' hearts because it's where Nate and Jesse were reunited after years of living apart and the idea to team up on the podcast was born!
This week, we're joined by Johnny Grimes, one of the key leaders in Furnace Fest. Johnny has been involved with the festival from its early years, to its recent revival, to its recent buy-out by a larger festival company. Johnny lets us in on his advice for dads out there, as well as behind the scenes on the story of the birth and re-birth of the festival and the events that led to the recent changing of hands. Johnny speaks on the spirit of Furnace Fest and how it remains to this day, no matter who is running things, and gives us a sneak peek into what could be coming down the line for Birmingham's ultimate heavy music festival. Will things stay the same? Will they change? And the biggest question of all...will there be a barrier in The Shed? All that and more on this Furnace Fest Week episode of Dads Who Mosh!

Episode 40 - Interview w/ Leave No Doubt (Sam Trapkin of Trapped Under Ice and Cole James of Grief Recovery Method)
2026/09/23
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
In this very special episode, Nate and Jesse are joined by the hosts of Leave No Doubt, a podcast about fatherhood, Sam Trapkin (Trapped Under Ice) and Cole James (Grief Recovery Method).
The dads have a great conversation about what it takes to really be a man for your family. Doing what's best for your family means taking care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. We do our best as dads and husbands when we become someone who is able to be physically strong for their family, but also emotionally available. It's also so important for guys to have brothers around them who they can be open with about their mental and emotional struggles, and know that they won't be pressured to just "get over it", and trust that someone is there to listen and be there for them.

Episode 39 - Interview w/ Carl Severson of Ferret Music and Nora
2026/09/16
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
Nate and Jesse discuss football season, how much fun it is to discover and share new bands in the hardcore scene, and the struggle as dads to find a balance between allowing your older kids to make their own decisions and have fun while they're still young, and also making the hard decisions for them because you know it's what's best.
This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Carl Severson, owner of Ferret Music, vocalist of Nora, and all-around scene legend.
Carl chats with the guys about the history of Ferret music, including some of the legendary albums they put out from bands like Converge, Killswitch Engage and Every Time I Die. They also talk about passing on the love of heavy music to our kids and how his sons have both grown up to love the scene and have their own involvement in it.
Towards the end of the conversation, we spend time talking about Carl's friend, and one of the kindest souls in hardcore, Andy Williams.

2026/09/09
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Adam Hussler, vocalist of Power Play and past "Shed-Daddy".
Adam chats with the dads about what it's like making music in Florida, and building the hardcore scene in a place that has been overlooked in the past. No matter how big hardcore is getting, and despite the business aspects that are part of it, it is still a scene where people are required to respect one another, and put in the work to build the art that we love.
He also talks to the guys about how great of an experience it is to engage with people at hardcore shows, and lets us in on some of what's next for the band.
Check out Power Play's single, "Liberosis" featuring Andrew Neufeld of Comback Kid and keep an eye out for tour dates.

Episode 37 - Interview w/ Brad Moxey of Evergreen Terrace
2026/09/02
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Brad Moxey of Evergreen Terrace.
Brad shares his story of playing drums on and off-again for the band over the years, a wild ladder injury, and what led to him finally deciding to rejoin permanently. The dads talk about Evergreen Terrace's history and the fact that, as a band, they've never really done things the "right way", but have always just done music the way that they've wanted. Brad also gives an update on where the band is with new music, and a sneak peek on what's in store.

Episode 35 - Sound & Fury Recap
2026/08/19
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This week, the dads recap their weekend at Sound & Fury. There were unforgettable sets from legendary bands, fresh sounds from new bands, and collabs that will be burned into our memories forever. We hung out with friends, made some new ones and already can't wait for next year.
One thing that stood out during Sound & Fury, with no barriers, was the massive stage pile-ons. While hardcore has always been interactive, and the best shows are no-barrier shows...are pile-ons becoming too much? Are they getting to a point where it's ruining the experience for bands and the rest of the crowd? Nate and Jesse break it down.

Episode 34 - Sound & Fury Preview
2026/08/12
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
It's Sound & Fury Week! Nate and Jesse get stoked for the festival by going over each band for both days of the show and highlighting the ones they're most excited for. Can't wait to see everyone there!
In Dad world, the guys talk about what it's like to slowly turn into a dad and start having your own "dad-isms". Eventually, we all get upset about the thermostat. Becoming dads has given us the ability to learn more about our own dads and continue to be the best that we can for our kids.

Episode 33 - Interview w/ Joe Musten of Advent and Beloved
2026/08/05
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by Joe Musten (Advent, Beloved). The dads talk about the state of the scene in North Carolina and how Advent is among a whole list of hardcore bands that continue to shape the scene.
Joe also shares stories about touring, the impact that Beloved has had on people, Furnace Fest, and almost getting into fights at shows with other bands on the lineup.
The dads also talk about how being a dad and a son or daughter requires a ton of grace. Parents don't have it all figured out, and you really start to understand that when you become a parent yourself. The best we can hope for is to be the best we can possibly be for our kids.

Episode 32 - Full Warped Tour '26 Review and We Debate Circle Pits
2026/07/29
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This week, Jesse recaps Warped Tour in Long Beach! The vibes, the bands, the people there, were all great and made for a great weekend.
Later, the moshing debates continue as the guys talk "rowboats" in mosh pits, the level of skill required for a circle pits, and bands calling out moshers during shows.
The dads also discuss how dad life can often be very much like the punk/hardcore scene. Dads today have to choose to go against the grain, and put aside the self-serving nature of our current culture, and do things that don't make sense to a lot of people around us who don't have families to take care of. No matter what we give up to help raise our families, we wouldn't trade it for the world!

Episode 31 - Interview w/ Jay from Bayway
2026/07/22
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This week, Nate and Jesse are joined by a very special guest, Jay from Bayway!
Jay hops onto the podcast while on the road with No Cure, Big Ass Truck and Boltcutter. The guys talk about live shows, the energy that Bayway brings to each tour, despite often being the "odd duck" on the ticket. Jay also talks about Hellfest, and how the payoff after months of planning and re-planning was so huge and those who made it this past year know how special of a time it was.
As a dad, Jay has made some major decisions for the benefit of his family, including making the decision to get sober, almost three years ago now. It's not an easy thing to switch from "Jay from Bayway Mode" while on tour, fronting a hardcore band, to "Dad Mode" when he gets home to mulch the lawn and get the backyard ready for graduation parties, but Jay's here for every minute of it.
At the end, Jay makes his honorary addition to the Dads Who Mosh Playlist with the song "Anger" by Downset.
This was a very special episode for us, and we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had recording it.

Episode 30 - Old CD's and New Evergreen Terrace Song
2026/07/14
Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!
This week, Jesse and Nate are back from their family summer vacations! The dads talk vacations, visiting family, and road trips. They also discuss the reviewing hardcore releases and albums, and whether critic reviews are helpful, or if it's too hard to put some sort of a "grade" on a form of art that can be completely subjective.
The guys also go over the differences between introverts and extroverts, and how dads can be both, although putting labels on people is usually not helpful. One thing is for sure, both introverts and extroverts can be secretly dealing with emotional or mental issues, so be sure to check in on all of your friends, no matter what they're like!
