Bardown Breakdown – Episode 162 - Bardown BreakFest

We here at Bardown Breakdown have had the pleasure of sharing over 150 episodes with you, spanning nearly 3 years and talking hockey and music across the world. We’re indebted to our listeners and the artists who have taken the time to share their stories with us. We’ve never been satisfied with the status quo, and wanted to showcase the best that Bardown has to offer! We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Violent Gentlemen, Smartpunk MFG, and Revival Recordings to bring you the inaugural Bardown BreakFest! We’ve gathered twelve of our former guests and quite frankly some of the best artists in the country right now to join us in Orlando, FL on June 25th, 2022 for an incredible festival, spanning two venues - Will’s Pub and Uncle Lou’s! We couldn’t be more excited to share this magnanimous event with everyone, and we can’t stress enough the hard work that so many people put into organizing this. In a word, or rather a short phrase, this is a dream come true for us. Tickets are available NOW, so grab them while you still can, because you won’t want to miss this one. It’s going to be filled with great music, great hangs, and maybe even a surprise or two! Again, that’s June 25th in Orlando, FL for the first ever and unbelievably wild Bardown BreakFest! #BardownBreakFest #PopPunk #Hockey #ViolentGentlemen #RevivalRecordings #SmartPunkMFG Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey and Tom talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 15 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are also diehard New York Isla
