Axe To Grind is a hardcore podcast. Which is to say, we talk about hardcore music in great detail while recording and then broadcasting to you, the public at large, to consume in an on-demand manner.



We love what we are doing; we started this somewhat haphazardly but with great thought and passion which is somewhat fitting in a "form matches content" kind of way. While we've never discussed a pure mission statement, it comes down to two primary ideas.



1. Discuss hardcore music (and anything under that large umbrella) in a thoughtful, honest way, and should there be a personal bias, we announce this - an "axe to grind" that might taint our attempt at an honest perspective.



2. To showcase hardcore as a living, breathing, active entity. This means discussing current bands, releases, and events while also being able to place things in the context of a subculture that's going on 40 yrs old. So occasionally we will look backwards and discuss the good, bad and ugly, but keep it moving. A2G is committed to a limited nostalgia trip experience. Hardcore lives, y'know what I mean?



Setting up this Patreon will allow us to cover the expenses of putting this together as well as expanding the scope of some what we do. Outside of the normal gear, travel, and production expenses, we are ambitious. We'd like to do more. We want to record more. We want to work on some more long form projects that document hardcore; we'd like to work on some events; we have a couple of opportunities to beef up our content production and also would require some more serious time investments.



In general, we like what we've got going on and think we can do more, better.



We'll need help though.
