Description: We were joined at The Pit Recording Studio in Sunland, CA by Nitisart “Mike” Chaiburi and Kitti “Ole” Suwan of the great WHISPERS, all the way from Bangkok, Thailand.A truly unbelievable group of people both personally and musically, they’ve broken through every barrier imaginable through their undeniable spirit, infectiously unique and hard and passionate love for hardcore music.Being the first band from Bangkok to achieve so much of what they have achieved, we’re honored to talk to Whispers about their origin from local band in Bangkok who evolved into the definitive band that represents not only their city, but all of Thailand around the world. We can’t think of a better group or a better band for the job, and just five minutes of this conversation is all you’ll need to hear to understand why.______________________________________ Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepodJoin the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef_____________________________________ Cool links:HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.comTry AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free 1-year supply of vitamin D and 5 travel packs of AG1.Get 15% off MADD VINTAGE with code HARDLORE15! https://maddvintage.com/___________________________________ FOLLOW WHISPERS:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/whispershc/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/whispershc FOLLOW MIKE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/mikelaw307/ FOLLOW OLE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/oletalifez/ FOLLOW HARDLORE:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepodSPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrpAPPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/ColinYovng FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE 00:00:00 - Start00:01:02 - Introduction00:02:20 - Finding Hardcore in Thailand00:08:25 - 555555555555500:10:19 - Their Many Many Vintage Stores00:12:15 - Friendships before Whispers00:13:33 - H8000 Bands00:15:45 - Finding European Hardcore00:18:17 - Activities Outside of Whispers00:20:13 - Mike’s Vocal Style00:21:19 - Whispers Through the Years00:24:34 - Bangkok During Covid00:26:00 - Relax Time00:27:57 - Stories With Stéphen Kickback00:31:02 - Pardon This Interruption00:33:40 - Meeting Gap00:37:01 - First Whispers Tour Ever00:39:00 - Asian Countries Played00:39:42 - Response To Whispers Across The World00:41:00 - Linking Up with Speed00:42:09 - Touring Europe00:43:16 - Yom Ma Lok00:47:24 - Flatspot Records00:48:15 - First US Tour00:51:00 - Future Aspirations for Whispers00:51:59 - Tied Down Fest00:53:41 - Tour Essentials (Hot Dogs)00:54:49 - US Food vs Thailand Food01:00:18 - Sound and Fury01:03:21 - Top 4 HC Records01:06:38 - Ghosts?01:10:45 - Patreon Q&A01:11:38 - Top 4 Thai HC01:12:38 - Greatest Breakdown Of All Time01:14:50 - Inspirations / Influences  HardLore: A Knotfest Series, Fueled by Monster EnergyEdited by Steven Grise • Title sequence by Nicholas MarzlufJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes.Join the HARDLORE DISCORD for community discussions and to participate in our future Q&A episodes.FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, SPOTIFY, APPLEFOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAMFOLLOW BO: INSTAGRAM, TWITTER For sponsorship opportunities, email us! hardlore@knotfest.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
