All Time Low is back! They just dropped a new song, "Sleepwalking" and Alex Gaskarth checks in with Roche to discuss the track, the longevity of the band, and more!

The Black Keys are back! The new song, "Wild Child" is a straight banger and a great appetizer for the new album, Dropout Boogie, available for streaming on May 13th. Dan Auerbach of the Keys enters the Sphere to discuss "Wild Child" and Dropout Boogie, watching Quentin Tarantino movies with your kids, and cupcakes at the 9:30 Club. Then, Dan gives his thoughts on being a Jewish rocker, the inspiration he draws from being Jewish, and being a role model to young Jewish musicians.

Roche is joined by Alex of All Time Low in a Then And Now edition of Sphere Of Roche. The two go way back as Roche had the band in studio as part of DC101's Local Lix way back in 2006! In segment one, Alex discusses the success of "Monsters" and how it has changed the trajectory of their career, the background on their latest single, "Once In A Lifetime," and the band's tour plans(!) for 2021. Then, in the second segment, we go back to 2006, when the band had just graduated high school! It's a rare glimpse of a band at their peak vs when they were just getting started.

BONUS: Alex performs a never before heard version of "Coffee Shop Soundtrack"

I love talking to Ashe! She's funny, smart, irreverent, and most of all, down to earth. I've been lucky enough to speak with her twice in the last 12 months and both conversations were so great, I decided to post a mega episode featuring both of them. The Beach Boys, One Up Ashe, rescue dogs, Billie Eilish, and my pitch to manage her are just some of the MANY things we discussed.

Roche got a chance to catch up with his friend, Brent Smith of Shinedown, as part of #DC101AtHome. Brent is social distancing in Cali as he and Zack Myers had started work on new music when the pandemic hit. Hear Brent discuss how he was moved to act and start raising money for Direct Relief and why the unreleased song, "Atlas Falls" was the perfect song to help raise money for our healthcare workers. Then, Roche and Brent discuss suicide prevention and what it means to them.
