  • Great podcast

    ‘125 Miles South’ is both interesting, and an insightful too at times look into punk and hardcore music, and the people in and around it, in the USA and from around the world. And at times a good laugh as well. Well done guys.

  • Best Hardcore Punk Pod

    Maybe it’s an ol head bias, maybe it’s old school 619, but this is my favorite genre pod. They cover old stuff that makes me reconsider my prejudices about certain niches in the early eras. They pull my coat on new favorites (shout out NightFever: Kopenhagen HC). Keep up the work lads. Thank you for the show and the effort.

We were up and playing and we just thought it was a better opportunity to get more gigs and get more exposure, really.
