LIVE LOCAL MUSIC: Side Over record release show at Gallery of Sound in Wilkes-Barre (recorded 6/12/26)

The NEPA Scene Podcast is LIVE with recently reunited Scranton melodic hardcore band SIDE OVER! They're releasing their first new music in 33 years, an EP titled "Loves You," on Friday, June 12, so we're talking about their history from 1989-1994 and what the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre hardcore scene was like then versus now; re-recording their original demos and creating a new song from a practice tape all these years later; remembering Brian Craig, Neil Husvar, and Christopher Pawloski and what they contributed to their music and lives; playing locally as well as in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey throughout the '90s; show highlights that include the infamous Life Of Agony performance at the Pancake House in Lake Ariel that brought the ceiling down; their other musical projects in various genres; their upcoming record release shows at Gallery Of Sound in Wilkes-Barre on Friday, June 12 and The Bog in Scranton on Saturday, June 27 with A Constant Murder and Loading; what it felt like to reunite at Hardcore for Husvar last year and their plans for this year's installment on July 25; the hardcore "banana man" incident that's making headlines; and much more.
