We had the honor of being interviewed by the fine folks behind Horns Up Podcast. The two hosts (Animesh and Peter) sat down with me yesterday for about an hour and talked about all the things that I’ve been up to – King Ly Chee, Regret, Dagger, and of course this website Unite Asia. They asked amazing questions and clearly did their research which was VERY much appreciated because then I could go deeper with my answers.
Huge thanks to both of them for including me in their AMAZING podcast series! 126 episodes deep folks! DAYUM!
“The hardcore, punk and metal scene in Asia owes a lot to HxC-punker, metalhead, journalist and teacher Riz Farooqi. Be it setting up Unite Asia, a website that is widely regarded as the voice for Asian hardcore, punk and metal, or through his bands King Ly Chee, Dagger, and the latest, Regret. Peter and Animesh chat up with Riz about his hardcore roots, why Regret was born, life in Hong Kong, and more. It’s a cool, casual, comprehensive chat.”
