For Episode 75 I had a conversation with Tom Cavanaugh. We mostly talked about his time playing in bands in Syracuse. The bands we discuss include Blood Runs Black, Hermon Dekalb, Darker Day Tomorrow, and Santa Sangre. This is the first time that I can think of that I've interviewed someone who was on tour over 2000 miles away from home when 9/11 happened. Tom also has a really cool story about becoming friends with the band Overcast in the 1990s. Fast forward about a decade and Mike from Overcast was now playing in Killswitch Engage. Tom talks about how he ended up becoming the guitar tech for Killswitch Engage for many years, leading to him traveling the world with the band. I'm sure I could have made an entire episode just asking him questions about all of the people he met and experiences he had during these years. I also could have spent an entire episode asking Tom about all of the classic Syracuse Hardcore bills some of his bands were on. Blood Runs Black played some pretty legendary New Year's Day shows, among others. Tom has been living in South Florida for about 20 years and has also even played with a couple bands down there. We also talked about how Santa Sangre has taken on a second life some two decades later, with Closed Casket Activities reissuing their LP. I'm including the link for that as well as the limited cassette that Buske also recently released in the show notes. As always, you can support the podcast on Patreon for as low as $1 per month.
