From The Brooklyn Blast: “One of the founding members of two of my all time favorite Straight Edge Hardcore bands… “Youth Of Today” and “Judge” as well as “Project X” and “Shelter”. He’s done stints in “Bold”, and “Gorilla Biscuits”. He ran “Schizm” Records and currently owns a Straight Edge clothing line, “True Till Death”. My guest on Episode 252 of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast is none other than John “Porcell” Porcelly also known as The Hardcore Yogi. This conversation felt like it was 15 minutes long. We start off with his Yoga practice and where you can find him online to participate, then quickly go into how he grew up, his early influences, his first bands, the formation, break-up and reformation of “Youth Of Today”, the same with “Judge”, new music he’s working on with a new band, new “Shelter” music and the indescribable feeling of when you hear that particular song at a specific time in your life that literally changes your entire path. This was an awesome opportunity. Respect.”
