“I think people like to portray this image of hardcore is a gateekeepy place where everybody is not welcome, or as this safe space where everybody’s welcome, and it’s neither of those things,” says Angel Du$t and Trapped Under Ice vocalist Justice Tripp. “I don’t care what you know, I don’t care if you’re cool. In fact, I’d prefer if you’re not cool.”
The above quote is from our interview with Justice Tripp on the new episode of the BrooklynVegan podcast. We talk a lot about both of his bands, with a big focus on Angel Du$t’s great new album Brand New Soul, and we also touch on everything from the influence of Prince on Angel Du$t to Justice’s favorite David Bowie album to Sublime haters (“You can gauge somebody [that says they don’t like Sublime]. It doesn’t say anything about Sublime, it says something about you”) to Justice learning to love Godsmack to gatekeeping in hardcore and much more. Listen on Spotify, Apple, Google, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
