Mixtape 14: Al Dimalanta of Dead Ends and Throw

Mixtape 14: Al Dimalanta of Dead Ends and Throw by Dreams Of Consciousness on Mixcloud

Here is the 14th installment of the Dreams of Consciousness podcast, featuring an interview with Al Dimalanta of Filipino punk pioneers Dead Ends and Throw. We delve into the early days of the Filipino punk and hardcore scene, as well as Al's thoughts on the present scene.

The interview was coordinated by my buddy Ian from Brimstone in Fire. We recorded it at his studio in Makati while I was visiting the Philippines last week. Once again, my thanks to him for making it happen.

Also many thanks to Konspira Zine's Jep Peligro for his Shock&Awe article, which provided the lion's share of my research for this interview.
