Dallon Weekes (IDKHOW, ex-Panic at the Disco, The Brobecks) Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

Episode 253 - I Don't Know How But They Found Me frontman Dallon Weekes joins the show! After having underground and critical success with Utah's The Brobecks, Dallon found himself in Panic! At The Disco, a band he performed and wrote in for 8 years. As that started to become a grind, Dallon started IDKHOW with Falling in Reverse drummer (and great dude) Ryan Seaman. At first the band played only in secret, until the hype got so big they both took the plunge and decided to do IDKHOW exclusively. Now, after 3 years of touring success, and a few EP's and singles, IDKHOW has released their first full length album - "Razzmatazz" - which is already popping up on album of the year lists all over the place. We talk about his upbringing, his time in P!ATD, and how they are coping with releasing their first album during a pandemic.
