This week on Riff Worship we’ll explore the Louisville hardcore scene with a deep dive into Breather Resist and their seminal 2004 album, Charmer! We’re joined by guitarist Evan Patterson (Jaye Jayle, Young Widows, Future Heart Works) to discuss the band’s evolution from projects like The National Acrobat and Abscise, the recording sessions at Downtown Recording with producer Kurt Ballou (Converge), working with legendary labels Deathwish Inc. and Jade Tree Records, and the influences that ultimately paved the way for Young Widows.
