Frank "Florida Frank" Novinec: Hatebreed, Ringworm, Integrity, Terror (& The Kiss Army)

It's another historic day on HardLore, as we're joined by Frank Novinec (instagram.com/floridafrank?igsh=a3llc2xodmgwZTFw) (AKA Florida Frank/Frank 3 Gun) of Hatebreed, and formerly of Ringworm, Integrity, Terror and more.
We've often lauded him as having one of the best resumes in the history of the genre, and now we hear all about his introduction to music and eventually to hardcore. From raiding his parents' record collection, his lifelong connection with heavy metal (mostly KISS and Blue Oyster Cult), growing up in the Cleveland hardcore scene and starting RINGWORM, joining INTEGRITY during Systems Overload, playing TERROR while they were on the rise, all the way to now celebrating 20 years of being in HATEBREED.
An amazing insight to one of our favorite guys. Enjoy.
