Join Chris and I as we conclude our chat with this portion really focusing on the Chris and his career in the music industry. We get into how Hillhaven came to be, and REALLY get into the weeds on how the band chose to operate with Chris really pulling back the curtain on the types of things newer bands need to ask themselves when starting out. We get into when bands should be looking for a manager, what that person should be able to do for you, as well as what they should be asking for in compensation. We talk revenue streams, branding and so much more in this conclusion to our epic 5 hour chat.

Join Chris and I for part 1 of this EPIC 2 part episode as we take some time to get to know one another. I kick things off talking about how much I've enjoyed lying to people by making up "facts" on the spot and how it's taught me that as long as you do something with enough confidence and timing, people will pretty much believe anything you say, to hilarious results. Chris and I recount his time in Ice Nine Kills, and how that experience was as well as doing the never ending Trinity of Terror tour, and some funny memories from seeing each leg of that tour and more in this first part of my EPIC chat with Chris.

Join Travis and I as we catch up from the bands latest international tour.

Travis and I talk a bit about a recent guitar centric interview he and Dan did where they share some of their favorite riffs, and how it's interesting to see professional musicians doubt their own abilities. We talk about how he ended up going with Balaguer guitars, and how Travis picks how his custom guitars look.

We also touch on the band moving on as a 4 piece and how productive the band has been over the last few years with writing songs, and a bit more of the process of that.

We also touch on reimagining their old songs and doing a few covers for their upcoming Pronoia Sessions album, what's In store for Fake Figures and 20 years of The Curse and more in this chat with the Atreyu guitarist.

Join Alan and I as we catch up from the most recent international shows were for Life of Agony.

Alan and I also talk about his upcoming adult coloring books, and how it is to create a blank canvas that allows for others to come in with their creativity. Alan shares how cool it is to see how fans choose to color in his art, and how it maybe inspires him to do something beyond his own ideas.

Alan also shares how he got into art, and how his musical career is really one he fell into, and how he has been doing both while out on the road with LOA, and then took over once LOA went on a bit of a hiatus.

We also get into some horror stuff, how we feel horror is starting to break into the mainstream again and how that helps push he genre forward. How the horror/art space isn't as dissimilar as you'd think from the music world that Alan is most known for and more in this chat

Join Bryan and I as we chat about the bands latest album Death Card.

Join Rory and I as we catch up with him while the band was in Chicago on tour.

Rory and I talk about the bands latest album, Megafauna, and what the mindset of the band was having to follow up such an ambitious concept album like Jettison.

Rory also shares how it's been for the band to try and make a point to explore the cities they tour in and explore the local culture, and we get into the real question....where were they eating while in Chicago.

We talk about maybe there being a companion to Megafauna down the road, and more in this quick chat with the ASIWYFA guitarist.

Join Matt and I as catch up on the world of Rain City Drive.

We get into the decision to change the bands name, and how it was actually something he wanted to change before their last album came out. Working with Rory from Dayseeker and how that collaboration came to be.

Matt also shares how the approach to this album was different from To Better Days, how being more comfortable in who he is and what he does allowed him to lose the chip on his shoulder he had previously.

We also talk about the process for putting out new music out, the reaction to the bands newer music when the bands on the road, and some of the more creative merch items the band has been selling as of late and more in this chat with the Rain City Drive frontman.

Join Mark and I as we chat about the bands latest album, Carnal over a couple of bru's.

Mark talks about the making of Carnal, how this album came along a bit quicker than Spirits, and how this album might be more of a return to the sound long time Nothing More fans enjoy compared to their last.

We also talk about the few beer collaborations the band has done, most of them I was literally drinking, and what else Mark would like to do in this space.

We also talk about family and finding the time to balance out work and home life. Mark shares how he's able to impart some wisdom of making his passion a career and the sacrifices that come with it to his son, who's a few years into doing gymnastics.

All this and more in my chat with the Nothing More guitarist.

Join me for this bonus episode as we go back in time to this years Upheaval Festival to chat with Jason Hook of FlatBlack, Austin Meade and Christoper and Walter of Stabbing Westward. Jason and I talk about FlatBlack's debut album, which had dropped that day. How it's been getting out on the road to play songs no one really knows, adding a live album to the deluxe edition of the vinyl, and how important it was to make this feel like a band versus Jason and hired guns and more. Austin and I get cozy in the bands locker room dressing area, and talk about his tireless work ethic. Balancing out being a new dad and marriage in addition to all the writing and touring he does, and how it's been to own your own bus and fixing it when it breaks down and more as we catch up with Austin following his set. Lastly, get in the van with Christopher, Walter and I as we chat with the Stabbing Westward guys before their set, and talk about the band kinda being back now, the resurgence it seems they are on, and getting to bed a part of a lot of various festivals. How some have been tagging them as nu metal, even though they were around before that. Chris and Walt open up about what got them back together, and what we can expect from them moving forward.
