making any music at all until life (and death) forced their hand. The hardcore band, which features members of scene veterans Have Heart and Basement, was formed around frontman Pat Flynn\u2019s need to purge himself of grief following the loss of his father in 2010. Living with guitarist Alex Dow in Boston in the im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te aftermath, the pair began working on songs that would eventually become 2014 EP <i>Out of the Bloom<\/i> and then their to 2018 debut album <i>Springtime and Blind<\/i>. Alongside guitarist Alex Henery and drummer Shawn Costa, the group create emotional hardcore with emphasis on the emotional catharsis of voicing the pain that sits deep inside the soul. Their songs hum and thrash in all the right places but are always moored by Flynn\u2019s introspective lyrics and raspy vocals. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Despite the arrival of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.runforcoverrecords.com\/artists\/fiddlehead\/products\"><i>Between The Richness<\/i><\/a>, released May 21 via Run For Cover Records, being anything but guaranteed, its existence feels essential. Joined by new bassist Casey Nelson, the band has doubled down on its anthemic sound while Flynn looks to the future in his lyrics for the first time. This turn toward optimism was inspired, in part, by the arrival of his first son in 2020, 10 years on from the loss of his father.  Songs like \u201cThe Years,\u201d \u201cGet My Mind Right,\u201d and \u201cDown University\u201d pack the same heart and power as those Fiddlehead established themselves with but are also buzzing with a new hopeful energy and the sense of moving through grief and finding life in death. <\/p>\n<p>            Speaking via Zoom last month, Flynn explained that the new album is not just a second record but a whole new chapter for the group. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to build a career out of this,\u201d the frontman, who also works as a high school teacher, explained. \u201cThere\u2019s none of the baggage that comes with the commitment. It\u2019s just natural. I remember being surprised that people had a connection with the first record, genuinely surprised. And it felt nice to kind of capture that thing that people liked and to offer a little more with our second album. At the end of it I was again, like, \u2018I\u2019m never doing another record\u2019 But we\u2019ve more or less now just finished writing what will be a third LP.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Stream <i>Between The Richness<\/i> below and read on for our interview with Pat Flynn and Alex Henery on playing hardcore for little kids, making their sunniest music to date, and the hardcore scene\u2019s desperation to get back to performing live. <\/p>\n<p>            <iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 836px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=355119466\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/tracklist=true\/tracks=3376599932,613777990,724400858,4038232725,3001337255,3014503994,1246572278,286200794,3860063265,1071137523\/esig=365273387a564da048f8bb0cfd588536\/\" seamless><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fiddleheadma.bandcamp.com\/album\/between-the-richness\">Between the Richness by Fiddlehead<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>            <b>The FADER: Was there a pivotal moment that you can recall where you thought, \u201cThere is going to be a second album.

It\u2019s a very tiny record store and it just felt like the entire room was very wildly engaged with the lyrical and musical presentation. I just simply didn\u2019t expect that at all. And it almost shined a green light to the public that, \u201cYes, you are allowed to go wild. You\u2019re allowed to treat Fiddlehead like they are a punk and hardcore band.\u201d I just didn\u2019t expect it, because some of the songs are very subdued on that first record. And I just never expected anyone to be going physically wild for a song like \u201cUSMA\u201d when we were writing it. That was a big turning point. I remember at that point thinking, \u201cOh, there\u2019s public interest here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Henery:<\/b> I think that it was just, for me personally, never thinking that I would have a natural chemistry with another group of people, since being in a band and creating that dynamic is pretty rare. And I had that in the previous band that I\u2019m in. So to have it again was like, \u201cWhy would we not meet up? Why would we continue not having practices?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>            <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fiddlehead - &quot;Heart to Heart&quot; (Official Audio)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZebfDTMNSz8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            <b>\u201cHeart To Heart\u201d closes the album and is written as a letter to your infant son, Pat. I wondered if you could explain what you wanted to say to him with the lyrics?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            Flynn: I\u2019ve learned the art of defeating grief through seeking life in the smallest things, whether it be the cherry blossoms outside my window or the way that my uncle moves his finger that reminds me of my father. There\u2019s this constant and infinite presence of the people we love as long as we choose to find them there. In the most plain terms, the song is really the idea of that. So in some respects, as much as it\u2019s a letter to my son and my child on the way, it\u2019s also kind of like a meditative overview of the spiritual communication I have with my father, and all the people close to me in my life that I try and communicate with. It\u2019s really just about having a more meaningful moment of remembering somebody.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Have you been able to play the new album for your son yet? Is he too young to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            Flynn: If there\u2019s anyone who\u2019s heard it more than me, it\u2019s him. My method of getting vocal melodies and lyrics out was really just coming home from work, giving my wife a break from being with him all day, and just playing on a ukulele with him, just over and over and over and over. So he knows the record. He enjoys it. And he\u2019s actually, in some respects, even for the newer songs, a bit of a taste tester. If the song pops off, he has a very, kind of, primitive response to songs. <\/p>\n<p>            <b>The perspective from which you\u2019re writing has switched from the first album, when you largely wrote through the eyes of your mother. Now you\u2019re talking directly as yourself. What was on your mind during the writing process? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Flynn:<\/b> One of the things I think I love about this band is that it\u2019s a place for me to process things that are deeply on my mind. But I\u2019ve never been one for listening to the casual themes, just kind of random, vague stuff. I love it when big universal themes come to the front. I was just looking back at the lyrics the other day, and it seems heavy. The opening two tracks are pretty in line with the emotional weight of the first record. But when you go through the rest of the songs, they kind of have this, I don\u2019t want to say sunny orientation to them, but a little bit more joyful. The approach to it was really about the anniversary, the 10 years [since his father\u2019s passing]. And so much as I hate anniversaries, they still have that social element to them that make you unavoidably think that they mean something. That was kind of in the writing process staring me down. And I was looking back on the last 10 years of my life I began thinking about the accomplishments, the changes, and the continuities. <\/p>\n<p>            <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fiddlehead - &quot;Million Times&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2O5CoajpOGI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>            <b>In terms of the sound of the album, were there specific ideas or reference points that you wanted to hit?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Henery:<\/b> Archers of Loaf, Fugazi. Samiam. It\u2019s a blend of all of these different influences that we all like, but never one, like, \u201cWe want to sound like this.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>            <b>Flynn:<\/b> It might be interesting to consider what we tried to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Go for it.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Flynn:<\/b> I was conscious of the live experience. Whereas, on the first record, I didn\u2019t give a damn. So the kids at that Programme show have a pretty profound influence on this band, at least in my eyes. And then, the kids who have turned out to our shows and responded in very open emotion and physicality in the hardcore tradition.<\/p>\n<p>            With this album I was really trying to ensure that the live experience would be as optimal for outward expression of emotion as possible. Not to the point where everyone\u2019s weeping on the floor, but I thought that it might be valuable to keep that in mind, but while also keeping a level of restraint in there.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>With that in mind, how has the inability to perform live in the last year affected you? Hardcore and punk\u2019s soul exists is in the live show.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>            <b>Flynn:<\/b> Yeah, it was profoundly and extremely frustrating. But luckily, the whole record wasn\u2019t written just to make everyone stage dive and mosh. If this was a proper traditional hardcore record, then I would be extremely bummed. But there\u2019s some really meaningful musicality on the record, I think, that makes it something that can go wild at a show, but you\u2019d also want to drive home to it in your car.<\/p>\n<p>            I\u2019ve always believed that one of the things that makes punk music so meaningful is that it does die without the people. There\u2019s this spirit of democracy inherent in there. Maybe I\u2019ve idealized that. But it\u2019s kind of nice for me to see the existence of punk music totally threatened, because it doesn\u2019t have this outward moment of the musicians and the people really interacting. It\u2019s a reminder that the music culture that I\u2019m a part of is totally and entirely predicated upon, not just listeners at home, but interactors in the very moment. It gives it a uniqueness.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>Henery:<\/b> I think live shows, when they return, especially for punk and hardcore bands, will be so, so profound.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
