COLIN YOUNG | HARDLORE, HARD WORK, AND GOD’S HATE
2026/09/30
My guest on the podcast this week is Colin Young. You might know Colin as the host of the wildly successful heavy music podcast Hardlore but he’s also the vocalist in Twitching Tongues AND the drummer in the hardcore supergroup God’s Hate. Colin has an incredible work ethic for everything he does and his friendship is something I cherish often in doing what I do.  After the loss of his friend, co-host and general legend Bo Leuders, Colin hasn’t slowed down. He’s continued Hardlore in memory of Bo and channeled all those feelings into the new Gods Hate EP ‘Won’t Be Disgraced’. Colin also recently signed to Zildjian cymbals. This, along with the EP has reignited his passion for drums. That passion is something I personally really needed to feel right now, so I hope you feel it too.

Despite being a band for almost 10 years, 156/Silence really got people’s attention on 2024’s ‘People Watching’. We talked about why he thinks that is, and how their new album ‘From A Distance’ is truly its successor in more ways than one.
