Louder Than Life not only continues its reputation as America’s Loudest Rock & Metal Festival with the 2025 edition, but the 11th year of the event also marked the biggest festival in the history of DWP, and breaking rock festival records in North America. There were a number of once-in-a-lifetime moments over the course of the four days that added to the specialness of Louder Than Life.

In addition to music performances, this year’s edition of Louder Than Life featured various partner onsite activations, award-winning beverages and delectable eats from partners including Acathla Clothing, Al Capone, Angel's Envy, Basil Hayden, Beatbox Beverages, Black Shades, Blackcraft Cult, Bud Light, Cutwater Spirits, Demons Behind Me, Dimebag Hardware, Drew Estate, Eargasm, Elijah Craig, Fxck Cancer, Huber's Starlight Distillery, Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Knob Creek & Rye, KREWE, Kroger, Maker's Mark, Middle West Spirits, Milagro Tequila, Old Forester, Park Community Credit Union, Voices for Consumer Choice and Citizens for Tobacco Rights, Parlor Root Beer, Red Bull, Strüng, Take Me Home, The Music Experience, The Taylor Foundation, Tito's Handmade Vodka, To Write Love on Her Arms, U.S. Army, U.S. Marines, Voices for Consumer Choice and Citizens for Tobacco Rights, White Claw, and Willett Distillery. According to Louisville Tourism, it is estimated that Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life together generated nearly $43 million in local economic impact in 2025. The back-to-back festivals also drove some of the highest hotel demand of the year, with overall occupancy reaching more than 80% citywide. These preliminary estimates highlight the tremendous tourism and economic value of the festivals, which bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Louisville and fuel spending across hotels, restaurants, bourbon attractions, and local businesses.

That was a good way to do it. I liked it. Okay, First,

I want to just go off your shirt.

8
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.679
I just saw them the other day here at Lower

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:39.479
in Life and May were fucking killer.

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:40.280
Yeah.

11
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:44.079
These are some of our probably our best friends in bands.

12
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:47.799
We toured with them. And the drummer Connor, he is

13
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.359
kind of like a little bit of our fourth member.

14
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.320
He writes and records our music and has since we

15
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.280
were a band. So love everybody in that band.

16
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.840
Yeah, very cool. And then I'm gonna go your hat.

17
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.920
And I have a question for you because I'm from

18
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.439
New York in New Jersey, okay, and I go all

19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.680
over the world and everybody wears Yankee hats.

20
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.519
So are you actually a Yankee fan or are you just.

21
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:12.040
Anyway?

22
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:13.920
Let's move on to the next one's what else the

23
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.120
follow up question that you got for me?

24
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.120
As long as you're not a Mets fan? Okay, So

25
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.400
you're here at Louder in Life. How badass is that?

26
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.799
It's the coolest thing in the world.

27
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.519
We've done a handful of these a couple of years ago,

28
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:28.159
and every time we pull up, it's just the most

29
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.040
exciting getting to see all the buses, all the semis,

30
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.400
getting to see bands walking around, like physically bumping into

31
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.040
heroes of yours at catering, and it's just the coolest

32
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:38.640
thing in the world.

33
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.879
And then every time you've been here, it's gotten bigger

34
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:41.920
and bigger, right, you know.

35
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.879
Yeah, I think this is like the biggest here, right,

36
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.239
Like this is the breaking.

37
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.640
Yes, two days ago was announced, like two days in

38
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:55.000
it was announced the biggest rock festival in the United States.

39
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.640
That's so cool. Yeah, we're honored to be here for sure,

40
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:58.519
right yeah.

41
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.959
And what I always like to add ask the bands,

42
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.879
and you've had a few experiences, has Danny Wimmer treat

43
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:05.879
you as an artist?

44
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.680
We haven't met him personally, but it's like the you know,

45
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.759
I mean, the whole experience is catered towards the artist

46
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.680
for sure. Like we feel very well taken care of

47
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:14.759
anytime we play one of these.

48
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.680
Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.

49
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.719
Like everybody I've ever talked to in sixteen years never

50
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.439
has anything bad to say, And That's so important to

51
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.680
me because you come into a festival, it's not really

52
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.800
your venue, it's not really your stuff, and it can

53
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.319
be super fucking stressful, to be honest. Yeah, you know, sure,

54
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.039
and that's not good for a set. I find love ours.

55
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.840
Tell me like it's so stress fit free that they

56
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.639
really can have fun when they get up on stage.

57
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.759
Yeah, it shows, yeah.

58
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:47.840
And that's key.

59
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.080
If you're not having fun, I'm not having fun, don't

60
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.639
know what I mean. And you can see it. So

61
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.439
I was listening to your newest music. It's pretty fucking badass.

62
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.960
It's gonna be blunt, Okay, I'm just gonna be blunned.

63
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.680
Oh yeah, I know, right.

64
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.000
So tell us about the new music and how you

65
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.599
think it has evolved from your beginning.

66
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:10.599
Good question.

67
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.439
It was like kind of the first time that we

68
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.680
set out with a specific sound in mind. We have

69
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.080
collections of music previously. Some people are calling it like

70
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.199
the New World Heat is our sophomore album, but we're

71
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.240
kind of looking at it as our debut album, just

72
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.840
because this is the first time we had intention on

73
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:26.520
setting out a.

74
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.159
Writing music with a purpose.

75
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.120
And yeah, we tried a lot of stuff that we

76
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.080
haven't done previously, and I think it shows and we

77
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.280
had a blast writing and it comes across in the record.

78
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:37.080
See.

79
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.400
I love hearing that too, because especially the fact that

80
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.080
you consider it your debut, because what that tells me

81
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.919
is you finally found who you guys want.

82
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.240
Be as artists one hundred percent. What do you think

83
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.439
prompted that to get to that point? Now? What what

84
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.000
did road did you go through to get to a

85
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.919
point where you finally found your sound?

86
00:03:58.520 --> 00:03:58.759
Yeah?

87
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.319
I feel like went through I mean a lot of

88
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.080
shows and a lot of touring. The main thing I

89
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.479
think that really led to the sound was seeing what

90
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.879
worked in previous releases, like in EPs, and then also

91
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.759
just revisiting something like a few years after you write

92
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.680
it and put it out, you kind of get fresh

93
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.639
ears on it of like who do we want to be?

94
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.079
And did this fit?

95
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.240
And did this not fit? And maybe this was popular

96
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.120
a few years ago, but it's not popular now, and

97
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.199
really just what do we want to be? And I

98
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.519
think it was easy to implement the things that we

99
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.519
wanted to add in and then just pick and choose

100
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.079
the things that we had already been doing. And you know,

101
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.160
it's just kind of a perfect storm of tweaking the

102
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.199
sound in certain ways to be exactly what we wanted

103
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.120
it to sound like and have the intensity that we

104
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.879
wanted to have. And we couldn't be more proud of

105
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:45.480
the record.

106
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.639
And what were the components of it that make it

107
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.120
your sound now compared to previous music you've put out,

108
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.360
What do you think are the ideas, the concepts, the creativity,

109
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.879
the experimentation that led to that.

110
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.199
Well, for me, for the lyrics, it was a lot

111
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:07.439
more directly written to be a little more new metal

112
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.639
rather than more kind of hip hop versus. So that

113
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.439
was a big thing for me, while keeping kind of

114
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.759
like we've always had one liners and call outs for

115
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.759
the breakdown everything, but I think writing things in a

116
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:23.000
way that wasn't necessarily verse chorus first chorus like kind

117
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.000
of a rapping verse and a screaming chorus and more

118
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.959
focused on a new metal style of music was definitely

119
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:29.560
something for me.

120
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.079
Cool do you guys have anything you want? Had for me.

121
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:35.399
Instrumentally, I think the.

122
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.920
Difference between the first couple of EPs to this record

123
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.439
was those EPs were written to keep the band floating

124
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.920
to we needed more music to be able to play live,

125
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:49.879
We needed more music to be able to release, and

126
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.240
it was always kind of like, yeah, like we'll go up,

127
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.040
we'll write some songs, we're happy with them, and I

128
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.680
truly like, to this day, I'm very happy with almost

129
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.639
our entire discography. But getting into the studio for this

130
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.720
album specifically was so much more intentional, and we took

131
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.279
like four or five weeks of pre production and writing,

132
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.319
and then we had I think like five weeks of recording,

133
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.160
just going over everything with a fine tooth comb and

134
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.160
making sure that it's exactly what we wanted to present.

135
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.920
And also having a full track list as opposed to

136
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.120
four songs. Yeah, we felt like we could kind of

137
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.319
stretch our legs a little bit more into it's okay

138
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.639
to have this kind of heavy song, because that doesn't

139
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.120
define the record if it's twenty five percent versus if

140
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.639
it's ten percent. Yeah, So being able to do a

141
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.399
little bit more of everything because you can pad the

142
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.519
track list with all the different kind of sounds and things,

143
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:40.879
your influences that you're trying to present, versus being like

144
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.680
we've only got four songs, we have to make sure that.

145
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.120
It's this specific thing.

146
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.879
So that really, yeah, just made space for us to

147
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.639
write in a different way and to present the music

148
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:50.199
in a different way.

149
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:51.279
That's really exciting for us.

150
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.480
I think that's a great answer right there, because I

151
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.560
don't think most people realize that that they think it's

152
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.759
easier to write an EP than an album, and you're

153
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:03.639
proving different.

154
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.680
Obviously, there's pros and cons for everything.

155
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.879
Only having a couple of things you're responsible for is

156
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.240
easier overall and takes less time and money and stuff

157
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.199
like that. But being able to not have to worry

158
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.759
about cutting out ideas nearly as much and shaping something

159
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.199
to be a full presentation as opposed to like, here's

160
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.720
a handful of songs was really exciting and it gave

161
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:26.519
us a lot more room.

162
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.399
And the key word that Floyd in my head is

163
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.839
that experimentation. You can't really experiment on EP, but you

164
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.399
can on an album, and I think all artists should

165
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.079
experiment one percent. You have anything else you want to

166
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.000
tell the listeners that we haven't covered already that they

167
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.560
need to know Number one, Number two toe your socials,

168
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.399
your web, and how they buy your merch because they

169
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.279
can't listen to my show unless they buy your merch.

170
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:56.319
Sure it's a good real foxgband dot Com we've got

171
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.879
all of our tour dates on there. After Louder than Life,

172
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.120
we've got about a month of headliner shows with Kawanashi

173
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.000
does Madre Teeth freaking extortionists.

174
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.839
So I think that's how all let a lineup surface.

175
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.120
Thank you.

176
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.120
I know there's one more in there. It'll be nine

177
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.959
twenty six to ten nineteen, and then we'll be home

178
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.800
for a while and then now with Coban gray Haven

179
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.720
from mid November to mid December, so come check out

180
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:20.360
a show.

181
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:20.759
Nice.

182
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.600
Well, you guys are fucking here at Louder than Life

183
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.160
and to me, your music's louder than life. And thanks

184
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.879

185
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.199
