***Editor's Note***
When we recorded this episode our good friend Eddie "Leeway" Sutton was still fighting in his battle with cancer and you will here the guys encouraging him to fight. On April 19th, Eddie passed peacefully in his sleep. Our hearts go out to Eddie's family, friends and the Hardcore Community. The Kingpin will be missed. Long Live The King!

The One With Spike From Crashdog // Season 5: Episode 1 (02:22:29)
It's 2024 and we made it to a 5th season!!! We are kicking this year off right with a Xian Punk legend: Tim "Spike" Davis from the iconic band Crashdog. If you ever went to Cornerstone you either saw Spike's band or you watched a band he had a hand in getting them on the stage! He's more than just a pretty face, he's a cartoonist and avid outdoorsman to boot. But that's not all on the season premier of the podcast. We have the band Take from not NYC like Wiley and Mic thought but Las Vegas. Take is here to drop their new single which just happens to be a cover of "What If" by Creed. (Yes you read that right, Creed. Just trust us. This cover ROCKS!) Enough Chit Chat. It's Time For The Season Premier of Coffee & Hardcore!!!
