🎙️ This week on Late For Load In, we’re joined by Scott Lee — artist manager, longtime promoter, and the founder of the legendary New England Metal & Hardcore Festival.

Scott has been a driving force in the heavy music world for decades, from booking gritty hardcore shows in the Northeast to helping launch some of the most influential bands in the genre. He’s also the mind behind NEMHF, one of the most beloved festivals in hardcore and metal.

We get into his journey, the evolution of the scene, behind-the-scenes challenges like merch cuts, launching a VIP ticketing company, and how this year’s stacked festival lineup came together.

If you’re into hardcore, metal, or just love hearing the stories that built the scene, this is one you don’t want to miss.
