First Seven Inch Club (AKA Border Boss)

First Seven Inch Club (AKA Border Boss) offers a unique blend of music criticism and comedic banter, hosted by two self-proclaimed "dying old men" from the Albany hardcore scene. The podcast primarily focuses on rating and reviewing obscure metal and hardcore 7" records, providing a nostalgic and often cynical look back at a specific subculture. Beyond the music, episodes feature rambling, humorous discussions on a wide array of topics, from personal anecdotes and societal observations to an occasional appreciation for Taco Bell. This show appeals to dedicated fans of punk, metal, and hardcore music seeking deep dives into niche releases, as well as listeners who enjoy irreverent humor, unscripted conversations, and a distinctive, self-deprecating tone. It's a journey through music history and cultural commentary, delivered with a unique, darkly comedic sensibility.
