491. Kris Dawson (Bury Tomorrow) Mar 23, 2025

Show notes

Join Kris and I as we catch up from our last chat where Kris shares that he has since deleted all of his social media in the last few years. We get into how that has been for his personal and professional life, as well as the decision to step away from being a barber.

We also discuss learning to become a fan of things again, reconnecting with the live show experience and finding new ways through old songs as we get older.

Kris talks about how this approach really opened up his songwriting process on the bands upcoming album, Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience. How this album was a lot more collaborative than albums past, the idea of patience being something that can be haunting as well as necessary for growth.

We get into some HIM talk, our favorite pizza spots in Chicago and more in this chat with the Bury Tomorrow guitarist.

490. Lee Jennings (The Funeral Portrait) Mar 16, 2025

Show notes

Join Lee and I as we catch up with him while the band was in the midst of their tour.

Lee and I share some pleasantries from mutual friends of ours, and get into an interview he had done on Good Company with Bowling a few years prior and how I realized that the songs he was working on at the time were what would become "Welcome To Suffocate City".

We get into how there was an obvious shift in how Lee and the rest of the band were taking their careers at that point, how that process was being on a developmental deal at the time when a lot of their contemporaries were being dropped and sticking to their guns in seeing their vision through.

Lee also shares how impactful coming up in Atlanta was for the band in crafting a sound that is just as much a melting pot of influences as the city itself, as well as offering ample opportunities for him to learn the ins and outs of the music industry from working at local venues, touring with other bands as a Tour Manager, driver doing whatever it took to realize the dream of making music his career.

We get into working with Spencer from Ice Nine Kills and more in this quick chat with The Funeral Portrait frontman.

Join Brandan and I as we discuss the bands latest album, Nine.

We get into the departure of longtime bassist Womby leaving the band, how that has been for Brandan and the band to deal with.

Brandan talks about the guest features on the album, and how it was to have some of the bands longtime friends be featured on the album, and reflecting on how everyone's coming back to have fun and approaching their careers from a different mindset.

488. John Kevill (Warbringer) Mar 02, 2025

Show notes

Join John and I as we kick things off discussing how intentional the release date of the bands upcoming release, Wraith and Ruin coming out March 14th via Napalm Records, was.

From there we take a bit of a deep dive into the lyrical content of the album, how a lot of it touches on things that continuously happen over the course of our existence, but we seemingly don't learn from our past mistakes.

John talks about the struggles of putting out one of the groups most acclaimed albums and feeling that the band was on the verge of something big, only to have the pandemic take it all away, and how that really drove him to really up the ante lyrically on this album. All that and more in our chat with the Warbringer vocalist.

487. Nick Goins (The Dark) Feb 23, 2025

Show notes

Join Nick and I as we catch up for the first time in a few years.

Nick and I reminisce about the tour I had booked for his old band, Que Sera. How it was for him to put that band to rest after many years and starting to see some success before the end.

Nick shares how it was for him to step out on his own and becoming a hired gun for a more pop leaning artist, as well as adjusting to life out on the West Coast being from an East Coaster most of his life.

We also get into how Nick ended up joining The Dark, some of the challenges he's faced switching over to bass from guitar, as well as the joy of playing something with a little more aggression. What the band has in store for the rest of this year and more.

486. Sergio Medina (Dance Gavin Dance / Eidola / Royal Coda) Feb 16, 2025

Show notes

Join Sergio and I as we talk about how its been finding himself while working with 3 bands. Sergio discusses how he's really honed in on being of service to not only the other musicians he's collaborating with but to the song itself. We get into where Sergio's sense of style and live show comes from.

We dive into the journey he and Eidola have been on over the last 3 releases, culminating in a double album that went from the bands heaviest, Eviscerate, to the bands lightest, Mend. We talk about how that process was for Sergio, admittedly not being into the heavier side of things, but how that allowed him to really express himself on Mend. We get into what the future holds for the band and where Sergio thinks it could go.

Sergio also talks about how he got involved with Blue Swan Records from the label side of things, and how it has been for him learning the ins and outs or working for and help run a label. Some of the early challenges he faced, and taking a moment to reflect on the successes along the way.

485. Brendan Murphy (Counterparts / END) Feb 09, 2025

Show notes

Join Brendan and I as we talk about him completing Elden Ring and the journey of spending that much time completing something and not being sure if you’re happy it’s over nor if you even enjoyed it due to how long you spent immersed in it.

We then talk about the process of making their latest EP, which in contrast to the video game took significantly less time to complete, and how intentional the band had to be with their decisions given they didn’t have much time to get everything done to be released when they wanted to.

We also get into how this feels like a turning point for the band, not only sonically but with the touring and everything the band is doing, and what has led to the shift in the band becoming a bit more goal oriented and taking risks this far into their career.

We also talk about vasectomies, border crossings and the idea of legacies in this chat with the Counterparts vocalist.

Show notes

Join Matty and I as we discuss how him joining Anberlin came to be. Talking about how he traversed going from being a massive fan of the band to shifting to becoming a part of the band. How his fandom has allowed him to help the band write new material that has that classic sound the fans have come to love.

We also talk about how Matty's been dealing with the super busy schedule adding another band's commitments to his plate. How he's really taken more of an effort to make time for himself and being present in whatever he's doing.

Matty talks about where his work ethic and business prowess comes from, we get into some Memphis May Fire business and more in this chat with Anberlin / Memphis May Fire frontman.

Show notes

Join Kirk and I as we discuss the bands latest tour, which was hitting some rather obscure markets. Kirk talks about touring over the years and the joy in hitting some of these off the beaten path since those fans are a lot more appreciative than others.

We also touch on Kirk updating his live rig and going with an amp modulator on tour, and how it's been diving into new technology to recreate his tones over the years.

482. Pop Evil Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

Join Blake, Joey and I as we catch up with the guys while they were on the road starting their headline tour with Bad Wolves.

Blake and Joey discuss the new music from Pop Evil, working with outside songwriters and if there's a stigma still around writing with other people. We also get into if adding new blood to a band is what helps it stay fresh as well as how they both ended up joining the band.

We take a look at the how music is released currently, and how these long roll outs for albums is from the artist side of things, allowing bands to be a bit more immediate with their songs.

Blake and Joey discuss a bit of their songwriting process, Anchor Bar stories and more.
