What seems like a lifetime ago, and before ascending to the level of don of all things digital marketing, social media, and web 2.0, Mitch Joel was a music journalist of note writing for Hour Magazine, a Montreal based arts and culture weekly magazine. Given his consistent keen insights in the digital landscape, it's not surprising that Mitch also brought the same vim and vigor to his reviews and music journalism. In a recent phone interview, Mitch sat down with me to discuss the band Anthrax and their finest moment Among the Living and how it stood out from the pack of 80s metal excess and big hair and consequently bridged the chasm between hair metal and skate punk.
Also, on an editorial note, the format of the Sound, It Resounds is slowly evolving to a more interview driven audio podcast format. Hopefully this will accomplish two things: Create a lively and engaging discussion with some really interesting people and secondly publish more consistent and regular features.
Enjoy!
