Blynd Submyshynz Episode 15: Armand Majidi of Sick of it All

This week we bring you a legendary chat/listen with a legendary NYC hardcore pioneer, Armand Majidi, drummer for Sick of it All. We had some serious “moist talk in the jam room” covering how he got started in music and the beginnings of New York Hardcore and Sick of It all. We went all the way from Iranian politics in the 70s and 80s and the links between refugees and the spreading of culture (food mostly) to touring with Korn. And trigger warning, there is a ton of beer and pizza talk, including Armand’s thoughts on the best pizza in all 5 boroughs. We also forced Armand to listen to Kvelertak. And in two moments of serendipity, we randomly picked a German stoner band (Samavayo) who’s lead singer sings in Farsi (which Armand recognized), and how he’s actually been to one of our favorite tiny breweries in Santa Cruz - Sante Adarius! Enjoy it!
