Punk Rock Bangkok have been running a cool series of interviews on the site called Behind The Scene looking at the history of hardcore in Thailand. They started with a well-known promoter named Yos the dude behind bringing bands such as Himsa, Agnostic Front, Madball, Sick of it All, as well as bigger bands outside the genre of hardcore.
