Today's episode features an interview with one of the premier hardcore groups of the Rio Grande Valley, Reinforce. The band is on the verge of releasing their first full-length album, Blemish, which is a milestone for the band, who've previously only released smaller collections of songs such as EPs. In this interview, I speak with Danny, Levi, and Pat--the vocalist, bassist, and guitarist from the group respectively--about the new album, their journey as a band, and as musicians themselves. It proved to be a very informative and revealing conversation, as members of the band have seen and experienced several waves and generations of goings-on in the Rio Grande Valley music scene, and wear those experiences on their sleeves. It was a privilege to speak so candidly with them for an evening, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
