Join Mistress as she interviews the Singer fro NJ Hardcore band Chokepoint and discusses Danzig Misfits
Originating in South Plainfield, New Jersey the original riffs, lyrics, and ideas for Chokepoint’s
debut EP began in 2017 when guitarist Anthony Frascino and vocalist Liam Glynn first met to
jam. It wasn’t until early 2023 that Chris Papaleo and Tim Wilson (also of Against All) came in
and brought the band from riffs to reality. Chokepoint has made it a mission to blend genres
and cross the generational divide that is so evident in today’s hardcore scene. Chokepoint draws
inspiration from some of the most innovative names in heavy music such as Folly, Walls of
Jericho, Hatebreed, and Black Flag. With ear splitting riffs and socially conscious lyrics,
Chokepoint provides music you can party and resonate with.
SPHC is the first single off the upcoming EP Manifesto. The EP was recorded and mixed in
Scranton, PA with Cliff Evans and Dr. Chud, formerly of the Misfits. Cliff has worked with notable
acts such as Lifer, Breaking Benjamin, and K.C. and the sunshine band. Dr. Chud helped the band
discover their own sound by lending his expertise in producing, recording, mixing and
mastering. Chud is a veteran touring musician and producer having recorded several albums and
done several tours with the Misfits he has gone on to work with Michale Graves, Doyle, and The
Karens.
The five track EP spans metalcore, modern hardcore and the original hardcore punk sound.
Manifesto is truly a heavy album for the future generation. Not quite punk, not quite metal, and
not quite hardcore. Chokepoint chooses to break boundaries in order to truly express
themselves.
