Before the spotlight. Before the headlines. Just a bunch of kids in a van, burnin’ daylight and borrowed gas, hell-bent on makin’ the leap from Cleveland nobodies to LA legends.

This episode follows Heartstrike’s move west—equal parts swagger and uncertainty—as Razor watches the band he once called family step into something bigger, louder, and more dangerous than they ever imagined.

Featuring the defiant anthem “All In (This Is the Moment)” and the raw urgency of “Frame Your Shot,” Razor remembers diner napkins turned lyrics, parking lot breakdowns turned into songs, and the first time he realized the dream might leave him behind.

Because goin’ all in feels like power—until you realize what’s on the table.

Before the wreckage, before the mythology, there was just five kids from Cleveland with busted gear and a dream too big for their zip code. In this debut episode, Razor Chandler—former roadie and reluctant archivist—takes us back to the birth of Heartstrike, and the basement recording sessions that gave rise to their breakout debut Strike First.

Featuring the anthemic “Fire in Your Heart” and the reflective “Roll the Film,” Razor recalls late-night Waffle House napkins, dive bar gigs, and the moment the band stopped being “the guys” and became the band.

This is where it all began. Welcome to White Lines & Feedback—a transmission from the edge of memory.
