Ep. 243: Victory Records w/ Paul Friemel

Victory Records was a hardcore label based out of Chicago. According to their website it says following Concord’s 2019 acquisition of Victory, Craft Recordings is now proudly managing the legendary genre-defining catalog. As the catalog division of Concord, Craft is working closely with Victory’s artist alumni on a variety of high-quality reissues and special content to honor the label’s 30-year legacy and cultural impact that wouldn’t be possible without the artists behind it.

I did an interview with Monika Ebly Episode 206 who worked there and it went so well that I decided to interview another alumni employee to get his take on the behind the scenes. 

She introduced me to Paul Friemel who I got on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

• Applying to work at Victory
• Meeting Double J
• The Spitalfield mess up
• Hawthorne Heights
• Santa Mosh
• VicTorV
• Pants Off Dance Off
• The Ramsey Manifesto
• Thursday
• And a ton more

Check out his friend’s company https://www.seibertron.com/ where Paul participates on their podcast.

Lastly I started doing whiteboard animations so if your marketing department has said recently “Hey, we need a whiteboard animation” then email me at [email protected].
