B9 Podcast v.3 Episode 3: Luke Garro (Piebald)
Right before Piebald performed in the Bridge Nine warehouse on June 13th, drummer Luke Garro sat down with Chris Wrenn for a brief conversation on the B9 Podcast.
Luke reflects on his early beginnings in Glastonbury, Connecticut, the supportive nature of the Boston scene, and the organic process behind Piebald's first new record in nearly two decades. The conversation also covers: The Power of Showing Up: How Garro’s proactive approach—from volunteering to play drums for Fastbreak to witnessing the "fifth member" dedication of modern tour managers—highlights the importance of initiative and community contribution. The Multigenerational Cycle of Hardcore: Observing the enduring vitality of the scene, where modern teenagers cover foundational bands like SSD and Madball, proving that the energy and passion of the music remains constant across decades. Organic Songwriting and Modern Recording: The non-linear path to Piebald's latest album, Tales For The Rages, which was pieced together over several years without label deadlines, contrasting with the high-pressure, two-day drum sessions of past recordings. The Changing Bar of Entry: A look at how the shift from limited vinyl and cassette releases to instant digital distribution has exponentially increased the volume of available music, making it both easier to create and harder to stand out.
