We're finally joined by Floorpunch vocalist Mark Porter for an in-depth, comprehensive conversation about the entire history of the band. From the first time Porter witnessed someone Floorpunching at a show, to their initial formation after being collectively frustrated at a Snapcase show while lamenting what hardcore had become by 1995, all the way through to their legendary "last show" at CBGBs with Breakdown and the Cro-Mags. Grab your copy of Shining Life Press' incredible Floorpunch book, follow along and enjoy this amazing episode all about one of our favorite straight edge bands of all time.
