Taking the Lead Media Podcast - Episode #180
On this episode, I have guest, Gavin of Ikaika, a hardcore project based on the island of Maui. I got to see Ikaika as a full band during night 1 of the Speed shows back in April 2026. We chat origin stories of Ikaika, hardcore music, the scene on Maui, and touch base on Ikaika's latest EP, Of War and Mana.
