Episode Description from the Publisher

Episode 175 Deran of Sacred Path AZHC Deran Martinez grew up in the Gila River Indian Community, finding hardcore very much the way many of our guests' have. As he was coming up in the Reservation, he was introduced to having to take care of things with his hands. This would come to help him as he was playing shows and finding his path to the mats and ring with MMA. One of the coolest parts of the interview for me was Deran offering to get music from the other bands in his area out to the world. So we attached Two Guns and Heresy AZ songs alongside Sacred Path's track Alot of hardwork has been laid by Deran and others to uplift their community and bring hardcore back in a strong way in Arizona. Recent shows and new kids have shown the world what a show at a boxing gym can be. I had a great conversation with Deran and his experiences gave a deeper look into the indigenous hardcore kids and their lives on the reservations. Check out and follow the bands.
