Episode 201
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
We finally sit down with one of the greats at FYA Fest: Walter Schreifels of Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Youth of Today, Rival Schools and MANY more.In this long awaited discussion, we discuss the danger of NYHC in the 1980s and how surviving it to tell the tale was all just part of the fun that kept him coming back, Gorilla Biscuits being his first hardcore band/writing “Start Today” at 19 years old, the effect on his writing that being in Youth of Today had on him, expanding beyond hardcore for the first time with Quicksand, producing Title Fight’s “Shed” and much more.A true legend in hardcore, punk and beyond and we’re honored and grateful to have shred this time with him. Thanks to Walter and all of you.
