Hi everyone. Bradley here, the new host of the Bury Me in New Jersey podcast. Welcome back for the second episode of our sixth season where we’re talking with musicians about grief, music, and how we can imagine and build a more liberated world.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Noel Petrie (vocals) and Joseph Gough (guitar & vocals) of the Philadelphia hardcore punk band Disappearances. In the interview, Noel and Joseph talk about their newest album, Harrowgate, and how grief is a unifying theme throughout the record. We also discuss how the punk scene has the potential to be a welcoming community and refuge in a world filled with so much suffering and oppression.
Stick around after the interview to hear an excerpt from “The Last One” by Disappearances. You can hear the full song on their album Harrowgate (released in Janaury 2025 on Council Records).
