Hardlore co-host Colin Young has announced that the Hardlore podcast will be going on hiatus following the release of the final episode with Bo Lueders. Watch the final episode below.
The Twitching Tongues frontman made the announcement on Instagram after releasing what he described as the "final episode" with Lueders. Entitled "HardLore Investigates the JFK Assassination," the episode was recorded before Bo's passing and focuses on one of the former Harm's Way guitar player's deepest non-musical passions. Young has stated that the show was built on a dream partnership, the "beating heart" of HardLore was their core friendship, making it impossible to continue the show alone.
From Hardlore:
The time has sadly come for our final episode with our beloved late Bo Lueders... But very poetically, it is one where perhaps his passions and interests were all on display like never before, and that he describes as the day he's been waiting for his entire life: We visited the historic site in Dallas, TX where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963.
We hit all of the local relevant hotspots in the area, he shares his theories breaks down the historical facts (and fictions) we talk to a few lifetime Dallas locals about their views on one of the biggest news stories in American history... and then we walk off into the Sunset together, after 4 beautiful years of fulfilling our mission.
This episode has nothing to do with hardcore music, or really music at all, but hardcore music brought us together to share our passions with the world and I'm so grateful that we got to capture this one for him as the perfect final sendoff. Stick around 'til the end. Love you Bo.
Hardlore was founded in 2022 by Twitching Tongues frontman Colin Young and Harm's Way guitarist Bo Lueders. Bo Lueders passed away on April 2, 2026.
