Thanks for checking out the Neanderthal Society Podcast. On today’s episode we’re talking with Matt Cox, a former member of the legendary Bay Area straight edge bands Rely and Strength By Strength. Alongside his twin brother Mike, he would later go on to form the highly influential and underrated melodic Hardcore band Towards An End in the late 1990’s. Over the course of the conversation we discussed growing up in San Ramon, the origins of the Felluz, his love of Guns N’ Roses, skateboarding with brother, finding Punk and Hardcore, his favorite Weezer albums and much more… We also covered a ton of amazing Bay Area Hardcore history and got nerdy about all things Rely, Strength By Strength and Towards An End. To coincide with the interview, Matt and his brother Mike recently compiled brand new digital discographies for Rely and Towards An End, coming soon to various streaming platforms (they should both be available shortly after the episode is released). Thanks for listening, enjoy the episode and please remember to follow us on Instagram. Hardcore lives.
