We learn all about Shapel's origin from being a young Mesa, AZ hardcore kid at the Nile Underground discovering the wonders of Black Flag, to University of Louisville cheerleader trying comedy on a whim at an open mic night, touring with Bert Kreischer on a bus and then headlining rooms on his own, all the way to his finding his latest love of modern hardcore in 2020 and beyond.

Shapel rules and we had an incredible time getting to know him in real time as this episode progressed, and we think you'll all enjoy it just as much as we did.
