Over five years and three albums, Fiddlehead have traversed through loss like no other band before them. Pat Flynn wants you to know that all is full of love.
Sometimes you read something, a book, a play or in this case an interview, at the right time and the right point in your life. That was today, thank you.
I was so excited to read this interview, knowing already how good it would be. It truly did not disappoint. Flying down to see the band in Singapore tomorrow - it’s a great week to be a Fiddlehead stan!
Mr. Brannon (I was going to call you norm but we have never met in the physical world and feel uncomfortable calling by your first because of that) But I was watching this great documentary about the the d.c. hardcore scene of the 1980s directed by Scott Crawford called Salad days. And Scott interviewed one of the members of marginal man about their song “forever gone” which came out in 1985 and when marginal man who perform that song (which is about the suicide of the best friend of the singer) the singer would “lose it” ever time they played that song that marginal man would have to stop performing that song live. So when you say, “ It used to be that if you were a hardcore kid who wanted to process the death of a loved one through music, you probably needed to find another genre” is that true?

"Striving to live life, not just endure it" - a line I'm going to be thinking a lot about today.

Always love hearing Pat speak. Really great interview and fantastic record!
Beautiful interview. I am just in a process of discovering Fiddlehead, and I wasn't that excited about music for a long time. And I am old.
What a great read. Excited for this record!
Patrick Flynn is truly a one of a kind. His love and passion for hardcore is abundantly made clear, and it's infectuous
