    Get ready for one of the most ferocious Metal Maniacs Podcast episodes yet. In Episode 146, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down with Blaythe Steuer — frontman of NO CURE, the Alabama‑based heavy‑hitting unit leading the charge in straight‑edge metallic hardcore. Signed to SharpTone Records (2024), No Cure represents the next generation of the Deep‑South hardcore and Southeastern DIY metal scene — equal parts discipline, aggression, and conviction.


    From blistering riffs to lyrical realism, we dive deep into the story of No Cure — a band birthed in chaos but driven by purpose. We cover everything from their early days and DIY ethic to touring life, recording sessions in cabin studios, and the grind of staying true to straight‑edge in a region where substance culture runs deep.


    🧱 Inside This Episode

    Balancing Southern grit with metallic hardcore precision

    Recording vocals for “The Commitment to Permanence” while recovering from broken ribs (yes, really)

    Straight edge as rebellion and responsibility in 2026’s hardcore climate

    What’s next for No Cure — rumors of new music with Will Putney, tour plans, and creative evolution


    The Cobra Incident – setbacks, scars, and stories that fuel the music.

    How SharpTone helped launch the band after turning down earlier offers.

    Blaythe’s production style: “clean, heavy, and dirty at the same time.”

    Favorite and worst show memories from the road.
