100 Words or Less - Episode 9

Punknews.org happy to present a new episode of 100 Words or Less, host Ray Harkins' successor to the First World Problems podcast. 100 Words delves deeply into what makes creators of independent culture tick. Each episode of the show will focus on an in depth conversation with a particular artist that strays away from many of the typical interview questions and tries to get up close and personal.

On the latest episode Ray had the pleasure of speaking to Chris Bruni, the owner of Profound Lore Records, about his label, the concept of hipster metal and how buying records doesn't support satan.

The previous episode of the show featured a conversation with Buddy Nielsen, the vocalist from Senses Fail about everything from his bands journey in and around the mainstream, being successful on your own terms and how he still keeps the excitement for new bands.
