Back in 1998 my friends that I met in high school that would become my closest and most influential peers got me into punk and hardcore music. We all skateboarded and had similar interests and outlooks on life. I was very sheltered from "secular" music growing up in a strict Christian home. This music, new to me, was the rebellious music of the devil that I had not been able to listen to. This counter culture was underground even in '98 and I was very eager to be a part of it. I was going to local shows and making mixtapes for my friends. We literally used cassette tapes on a boom box to make these. Any one remember what those were? Sometimes my mom would find them and throw them in the trash.
The 70's, 80's, and 90's punk and hardcore music influenced my taste in music heavily. The culture of the punk rock shows also influenced me. There would be fights and drinking and smoking, all the things my mother wanted me to be sheltered from. One of the best things that I went to shows for was the girls. They would be in love with these band members no matter how big or small the band was. I would go in and mosh and skank and dance in the pit with a bunch of sweaty over exerted dudes. The memories are just flowing back to me.
I met Stereofaith this past summer at a gig in Delaware. He was able to take a crowd that was more interested in gossip than the music and get them dancing. I don't believe its an easy task and have seen numerous "DJ's" who just will play the one genre of music that they like. No one else could be feeling what they are playing, but they insist on sticking to their guns. I more recently have met Nadastrom. These two have the ability to make anyone dance with their music and can DJ a party until there is sweat on the walls.
I have been anticipating this mixtape since I first heard about it months ago. Finally, here it is.

"Salad Days" is a hardcore punk mix that Nadastrom and DJ
Stereofaith pieced together. Having been raised by the DC punk and
hardcore scenes in the late 80s and 90s, they give a nod to their
musical roots and continue to refer to the DIY ethos as working DJs and
producers. The "Salad Days" mixtape is a celebration of the energy and
passion of punk and hardcore music.
