Who are the Hooligans
We started all of this as a way to create a community, almost an army, if you will.
Join us and grow with us as we build the Hooligan Nation

"Black Diamond Dave"
Black Diamond Dave is a proud dad of two, husband to his incredibly patient wife Kalli, dedicated vinyl collector, classic movie and old-school TV enthusiast, and a lifelong member of the KISS Army. His fate as a KISS fan was sealed at age 9 when the Easter Bunny delivered a copy of Double Platinum—a moment that launched a lifetime of loud guitars, questionable amounts of KISS trivia in his brain, and strong opinions about which album is actually the most underrated. When he’s not digging through record bins or rewatching movies most people stopped talking about decades ago, Dave is behind the mic as a podcast cohost talking all things KISS—albums, tours, history, and the endless debates that come with being a die-hard fan. Armed with humor, deep fan knowledge, and a love for the hottest band in the world, Dave helps keep the conversation fun, passionate, and just the right amount of ridiculous for the KISS Army.
