In loving memory of Andy Williams. Originally airing May 11th, 2022, HardLore’s fourth ever episode and second ever guest featured the late great @andycomplains. He told tour story after tour story long before this show had any kind of format, structure (or a single listener really) and spoke on the similarities between wrestling and music before finally addressing the breakup of Every Time I Die for the first time publicly. This episode has been restored and partially upscaled to 4K to be preserved in the highest quality we could currently achieve and is out now. Rest in peace, Butch. youtu.be/Gl0YeBfZH6s?is=N2sZ…

Rest in peace, Andy Williams of ETID, Atomic Rule and All Elite Wrestling. When it comes to leading by example, Andy was THE ultimate example to follow from the moment you met him. A beacon of kindness, the benchmark of cool, and an unbreakable pillar of love and support to everyone in his life. You’re going to read story after story over the next few days (and forever after that) of Andy being the coolest person in the room, having an experience or words of wisdom about every possible scenario you were going through. To know Andy was to love Andy, but more importantly, to know Andy was to feel loved by Andy. I’ll have much more to say another time. I can only hope that this year relents soon and that everyone takes care of each other and themselves the way that Andy helped us do time and time again. My heart is with Hana, Pepper, his band mates, Buffalo, and the millions of people whose lives were touched by Andy’s gentle strength. Andy was our second guest on HardLore, and in his honor, there will be no new episode this week. Andy’s episode will be upscaled and restored to its original quality to be released tomorrow. Love you all. - Colin
