Author Eddie McNamara joins us this week. Necro Co-Host and old friend Mike Scondotto introduced me and Eddie recently when his new novel “Brooklyn Hardcore” was released. Tghough the novel takes place in the early 90’s NYHC scene, it’s not the primary subject of the story. Instead the story is a gripping, hard-boiled crime drama similar to the work of Richard Price or George Pelecanos, a self-styled “punk rock noir.” Good stuff.
Intro: “All THE Dark Things” – Mike Hill
Outro: “We Gotta Know” – Cromags
