I met German Utria in the 5th grade in 1983 or so. Our friendship was forged on music, movies, food, and more. I also based the Gerry character in my films 1985-1986 and Cool Summer on this person who made (and continues to make) an indelible impact on me. In this interview we discuss moving through school together, shared experiences, the impact of music on our lives, the importance of having a special teacher in the 6th grade, and much more! These videos are part of an ongoing video series chronicling the hardcore punk music scene. They are an addendum to the film Orange County Hardcore Scenester. This is a documentary I made that chronicles the 1990s hardcore punk scene.

On Friday, July 28th, 2023, Beyond Repair headlined Indecision Records 30th Anniversary. This band is essentially an early Throwdown lineup with Keith Barney singing. Their set was an electric mix of the direction Orange County hardcore went in the mid-90s, and, as evidenced by the crowd's reaction, something special for all who saw it. At the start of the set, there was a "china cymbal handoff" between Chase Corum and the Beyond Repair drummer. While only 30 seconds in length, that cymbal, and what it symbolizes to the changing sound of Orange County Hardcore when Throwdown, Adamantium, Eighteen Visions, and other bands were actively on the scene is extremely important. So important that Chase and I sat down and dissected the "china cymbal handoff" for close to nearly 30 minutes. You're welcome.

I had to record all of GAMEFACE'S set and I just couldn't be in two places at once. Lisk once again created a show that not only brought up old memories for all in attendance, it created many new ones as well.
