GARZA PODCAST - GUILT TRIP Talk Hardcore, Adidas, and UK Metal Roots

In the latest episode of the Garza Podcast (GP #205), Manchester’s own crossover hardcore heavyweights GUILT TRIP join host Chris Garza for an in-person deep dive into riffs, culture, and life in the UK scene. Featuring Tom Aimson and Jak Maden, the conversation captures the raw spirit and authenticity that have made GUILT TRIP one of the most exciting forces in modern hardcore.

Across the episode, the trio explores everything from growing up in Manchester’s underground scene to the influence of Machine Head and the broader world of metal in England. The discussion also takes a personal turn as Tom reflects on learning drums and guitar, the band’s near-breaking point after deleting their first album, and how those struggles forged their unrelenting sound and drive.

Beyond the music, the chat dives into unexpected yet genuine territory — from meeting through Fortnite, to the impact of Adidas on hardcore culture, and their connection to Jackson Guitars. The chemistry between Garza and the band keeps the conversation flowing with humor, insight, and plenty of passion for the craft.

Episode #205 of the Garza Podcast stands as a testament to GUILT TRIP’s journey — one built on resilience, community, and the enduring love of heavy music. For fans of hardcore, crossover, and honest storytelling, this one hits home.
