Aftershock 2025 Draws Record-Breaking Crowd Of Over 164,000 Fans, The Largest In The Festival’s History

The West Coast’s Ultimate Rock, Punk & Metal Destination 115+ Bands • 4 Unforgettable Days • Fans From Every Corner of the Globe

Danny Wimmer Presents’ record-breaking 2025 festival season concluded October 2–5 with the largest Aftershock in history — drawing over 164,000 fans from all 50 states and more than 30 countries to Sacramento’s Discovery Park, generating an estimated $35 million in local economic impact.

The West Coast’s biggest rock, punk, and metal festival reached new heights in 2025.

Debuting in 2025, Aftershock introduced several new fan-favorite experiences that elevated the festival weekend to new heights. The Capitol Club offered an all-inclusive oasis with premium amenities and elevated views of the main stage, while Tremors Dive Bar kept the energy high with a pop-up set by DJ Rock Feed with surprise guests My Darkest Days, and a special Sunday takeover by Sacramento’s own The Jungle Bird. Fans also discovered spontaneous performances at Beatbox and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it speakeasy hidden beneath the underpass — each adding to the sense of discovery and excitement that defined this year’s festival.

To celebrate DWP’s cultural and economic impact to the region, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, Senator Angelique Ashby, and Assemblymember Maggy Krell honored Danny Wimmer Presents with official recognitions from the City of Sacramento, the California State Senate, and the California State Assembly. The proclamation and resolutions celebrate Aftershock’s decade-long legacy, recognizing its profound cultural, economic, and charitable contributions to the Sacramento community and beyond, and highlighting how the festival has firmly established the city as a premier destination for live music in California.

The 2026 dates for Aftershock will be announced in the coming months along with early bird tickets, allowing fans to lock-in lower level pricing and maximum payment plan options. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to the festival’s official social media channels and AftershockFestival.com.

In addition to music performances, this year’s edition of Aftershock featured various partner onsite activations, award-winning beverages and delectable eats from partners including Animal Place, Astral Tequila, Beatbox Beverages, Black Shades, Blackcraft, Body Art Express, California Army National Guard, Coors Light, Don Julio, Eargasm, Freak On a Leash, Fxck Cancer, Golden State Cider, Hyatt Vacation Club, Jack Daniel's, Jeffree Star Cosmetics, Little Rocker Clothing, Mortus Viventi, Nowhere Fast, Parlor Root Beer, Red Bull, Sierra Nevada, Strüng, Take Me Home, The Pretty Cult, Tito's Handmade Vodka, To Write Love on Her Arms, Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, and Waterloo Sparkling Water.

Aftershock is proud to partner with Visit Sacramento and is produced by Los Angeles-based Danny Wimmer Presents, one of the largest independent producers of destination music festivals in America.

1
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.679
Hi, you love then too?

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.679
Yes, that's true.

3
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.000
Why for you?

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.199
You?

5
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.000
This is pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man

6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.960
W four C Y Radio and I'm here.

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.079
With Franz from a Tilla Nice.

8
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.840
A little Birdie told me or I overheard it. I

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.799
was eavesdropping that you're like the only unsigned band at

10
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:40.920
all of Aftershock. Is that true? Oh?

11
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:41.759
Yeah, for sure.

12
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:46.560
So we've been unsigned for several years and we do

13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:52.280
our own operations, our own recordings, our own production. Everything

14
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:57.119
is fully in house. So it's kind of rare these days,

15
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.759
which is weird because it would make more sense for

16
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.799
band to do what we're doing. But bands are locked

17
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.480
into these label contracts and Attila is unsigned and we

18
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.640
self record, so everything is fully in house. Like we

19
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.680
have a we have a full studio house that we

20
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.799
purchased in Atlanta, Georgia. We have a full studio. We're unsigned.

21
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.680
We do everything fully alone and independent. All of our

22
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.120
music is unbiased, like there's no one influencing us to

23
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.760
make something. We only do what we want to do

24
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:32.480
and if we don't want to do it, we don't

25
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.959
do it. I love it and it's crazy, man, Like

26
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.159
we're the most free you could be and.

27
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.000
It's crazy that you're the only one like that, because

28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:43.879
that's the way it should be.

29
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:44.959
Way it should be.

30
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.599
I have this philosophy. I have somebody that sat backstage

31
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.079
during eighty sunset strip days and watch these record labels

32
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:54.879
tell bands how to play their music.

33
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:55.480
Yep.

34
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.120
The business people should stay to business people and the

35
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.519
artists stay to creative people.

36
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.000
So I'll go ahead and say that there was a

37
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.159
point in time where I feel like labels did provide

38
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.759
an extreme amount of support, whether it be monetary or promotional.

39
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.479
So there was a point of time where labels were

40
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.680
a very integral factor of being in a band. But

41
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.479
for Attila, there is nothing a label could provide unless

42
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.879
you want to just drop millions of dollars on us,

43
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.639
Like yeah, okay, cool, we'll take it. But unless you're

44
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.159
gonna do what we want, yeah, exactly, Like, there's nothing

45
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.080
you can do to appease us. We're unsigned, we're independent,

46
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.000
we self record, We do everything on our own. We

47
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.000
make everything that we want to make, and it's really

48
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.319
fucking fun. It's cool that way because we don't have

49
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.159
a deadline. We don't have to release an album at

50
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.800
this day. We don't have to make this kind of song.

51
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.479
We don't have a label coming into the studio saying

52
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.199
oh we don't like this song, like make it different.

53
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.680
We just do whatever the fuck we want. And that's

54
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:01.560
what's fucking cool.

55
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.719
What I think is cool about that is it makes

56
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.159
you a true artist because if you can express any

57
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.759
way you want. And like Kean on you said about deadlines,

58
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.560
I think deadlines make for not as good a music

59
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.639
because you, as and rs, you're rushing to put something

60
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.919
out and almost probably one hundred percent of the time

61
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.639
you're like, oh I would have done this, I would

62
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.560
have done this, but you didn't have the time to

63
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.000
really evaluate what you were putting out there.

64
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.199
And we have unlimited time. If we don't like what

65
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.439
we're doing, we don't have to rush it right, So

66
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.439
there's no rushing in our process and making music, and

67
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.039
there's no rhyme or reason we meet up on a

68
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.400
women we're like, fuck it, let's make music because we

69
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.680
want to. And I think that's special because we're not

70
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.919
forced to do it. We do it because we love it,

71
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.639
and that's what separates us from everyone else in this

72
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.240
entire music scene.

73
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.879
I love it, and you're also Kean you said, fun

74
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.439
if you're not having fun in this business. It's the

75
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.719
wrong business.

76
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.560
Oh of course, And I think just I don't think,

77
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.840
I know, but looking at other bands that are signed

78
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.240
to these big labels, they're pretty fucking miserable. Bro Like,

79
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.160
they're pretty fucking miserable. They're not happy, they're not having fun.

80
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.240
They're on tour, they're miserable. They're doing this, doing that.

81
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.879
We don't have to tour unless we want to tour.

82
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:27.879
We don't have to make music unless we want to

83
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.639
make music. So I think it's cooler for a fan

84
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.399
in the audience to see a band that's actually like

85
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.279
happy to be there, right, So that that is the

86
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.759
essence of Attila. We're here because we're happy to be

87
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.240
here and we want to be here.

88
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.040
And it shows like if you're out in the audience,

89
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.000
you can tell when a band is not having fun,

90
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.319
and then you can tell when you guys are just

91
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:53.839
having a.

92
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.879
Blast exactly exactly.

93
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.439
And if you're having a blast, I'm gonna have a blast.

94
00:04:58.720 --> 00:04:59.000
Yep.

95
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.439
I can't tell how many times there's spend times I've

96
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.839
seen bands I know they're not having fun up there.

97
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:05.519
I'm like, yeah, you can look at them and they

98
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.279
look miserable, or they're like worried about their stage sound

99
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.720
or this or that, or they're just not having fun

100
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.279
or they're tired or whatever. It's like, Attilla's here because

101
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:15.720
we fucking want to be here.

102
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:16.600
I love it.

103
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:17.079
That's it.

104
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.639
And how do you feel playing these Danny Wimmer festivals?

105
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:22.759
I fucking love it.

106
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.480
Danny Wimmer is one of my favorite human beings on

107
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.879
the planet, and he has helped Attila so much and

108
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.399
we are forever grateful to him because being a band

109
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.959
in our position, like I said, unsigned, usually, like the

110
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.240
big sign bands get all these cool festivals like Aftershock,

111
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.279
but Danny Wimmer, he's got some place in his heart

112
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.240
for Attila and he somehow will choose Attilla to play

113
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.519
all these festivals. And we are forever grateful for Danny Wimmer,

114
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.639
and we're happy to be here. And it's cool, you know,

115
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.639
it's cool to be an unsigned art is that gets

116
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.680
these opportunities because we're just.

117
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:06.279
Stoked to be here.

118
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.600
And Danny Wimmer is a great person to provide this opportunity.

119
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.120
And I love hearing that because in sixteen years of

120
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.160
doing this festivals, I've never heard an or say something bad. Yeah,

121
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.240
that's exactly because most other festivals that's definitely not the case.

122
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.439
Mm hmm.

123
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.480
And like we always play like Welcome to Rockville, which

124
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.959
is Florida where we're from, and we'll play like Sonic

125
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.240
Temple and Incarceration and all of those festivals that Danny

126
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.720
Wemmer puts on are phenomenal. But we haven't even played

127
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:46.319
California at all. This this is our own no, no no.

128
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.839
We played After Shock two years ago, but this is

129
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.560
our this is our first time playing California all of

130
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.519
twenty twenty five.

131
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.000
Wow.

132
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.600
So we didn't play a single show in California. But

133
00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.600
Danny Wimmer was like, hey, at Tila, come on out

134
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.519
play after Shock. And we're like, hey, it's a lot

135
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:04.240
of work for us.

136
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:04.639
To come out.

137
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.480
We're on the opposite corner of the planet, right, but we'll.

138
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:09.040
Come out and play.

139
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.439
Just can you throw like some cabs on stage for

140
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.680
us to play with? And a drum said and he's

141
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.399
like bet. So we're like cool, we're done, Like let's

142
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.360
go take let's he takes care of us. So he

143
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.439
told him like, hey, we need some shit to play with.

144
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.920
We can't take all of our gear across the country.

145
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.240
It would take like four or five days, you know,

146
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.040
for a singular show, it wouldn't make sense. But he's like,

147
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.560
no problem, and he took care of us, and we

148
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.920
had a phenomenal show today and I'm happy that our

149
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.560
only show in California for this year is today at

150
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:42.480
Aftershock Lo.

151
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.519
It was awesome, And you know that makes you want

152
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.319
to do better too, Right when you're being taken care

153
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.120
of by the person running the festival, it makes you

154
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.680
want to like just go up there and do everything

155
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.199
you can to make everybody happy.

156
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.480
Of course, Yeah, we're here to put on a show,

157
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.959
and we're here to make the crowd and entertain. And

158
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:06.160
that's my favorite thing about the music industry. Like, I'm

159
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.959
here to entertain. I'm here to make people forget about

160
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.199
the bullshit in their life. I want people to disconnect

161
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.720
from their problems and I want people to just have

162
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.040
a great fucking time.

163
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.879
I love it. And so what do you think is

164
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.480
your favorite part of being an artist.

165
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.800
My favorite part of being an artist is probably just

166
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.959
being able to say whatever the fuck I want. And

167
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.000
I think my favorite part of being an artist is

168
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.200
probably the reason most people hate their lives is because

169
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.600
they're controlled by other people. And they have to do

170
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.840
what someone tells them to do or whatever. But with

171
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.039
Attila as an artist, in the singer of Attila, like,

172
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.120
we do what we want, Like, we don't have any

173
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.759
people pulling the puppet strings. We're just doing what we want,

174
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.720
when we want, on the time we want. And I

175
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.440
think that's such a blessing to be an artist and

176
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.720
be able to do that. And that's what makes it special,

177
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.360
is that we're just doing it because we fucking love

178
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.039
It's that's what it comes down to.

179
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.000
And what about your crew? How do they like working

180
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.039
with Attila?

181
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.279
So that's a good question. Our crew is fucking phenomenal.

182
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.759
And Attila is probably the only band also in the

183
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.240
whole industry that has had the same crew for multiple

184
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:36.159
multiple years because usually crew members, Yeah, usually crew members

185
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.440
dip out because the band fucks them over.

186
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:40.159
Yeah.

187
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.399
The only thing we've ever happened is that a lot

188
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.360
of our crew members I can name off a bunch

189
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.440
of them, but a lot of our crew members have

190
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.799
gone on to a bigger artists where they get paid more,

191
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.399
and we've given them our blessing because obviously, like if

192
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.360
you have an opportunity to make more money as a

193
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.720
crew member. We support that because we want you to

194
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.159
do the best you could do. But some of our

195
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.080
crew members, a lot of them went to Falling in Reverse,

196
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.000
one of them went to Bear Tooth, a lot of

197
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.200
them went to a band called Ocean Alley, which is

198
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:17.080
like a massive reggae rock Australian band. So we've had

199
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.879
like a lot of our crew like graduate essentially to

200
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.080
bigger bands, and we don't feel any hard feelings. These

201
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.960
are our best friends and it's not a weird thing.

202
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.240
But we've never had a crew member leave us because

203
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.080
they don't like us. Some people just get bigger opportunities,

204
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.840
but most of our crew has been the same exact

205
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.799
people from like day one, which is really cool.

206
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.440
And I really love your attitude towards it because it

207
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.559
just shows what kind of human being you are, because

208
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.440
you don't want to hold anybody back. Hell no, and

209
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.759
you all wish them well exactly.

210
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:52.360
Bro.

211
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.600
You're telling me like, if you really love somebody and

212
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.600
they're your friend and they have an opportunity to make

213
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.440
like double money or triple money, if are you a

214
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.200
real friend? If you tell them like fuck, you don't

215
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.919
do that, right, that's a bad friend.

216
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.200
So even even if you're.

217
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.200
My best friend and you work for my band and

218
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.240
someone offers you triple the money that what a til

219
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.799
can pay. Fuck yeah, take that offer, like you you

220
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.159
have my blessing. I want you to succeed and make more.

221
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.320
We'll pay everyone as high as we can. But you know,

222
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:27.799
every band makes a different amount of money, and we

223
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.039
pay everyone as much as we possibly can. But if you,

224
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:32.919
if you, if you can work with a bigger band

225
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.440
and make more money, you have our blessing. We want

226
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.919
everyone to succeed, that's all. That's all we want. We

227
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.000
want everyone to thrive.

228
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.919
Yeah, and if you could pay the more money you would.

229
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.440
We would, yeah, dead ass, we would, like you know,

230
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.519
if we were making falling in reverse arena money or

231
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:51.320
you know whatever, like of course, like we would pay

232
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.759
everyone a fat fucking amount of money, right but we

233
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.080
don't make that money right now. And that's fine, and

234
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.799
I'm not mad about that. It's okay, but but I

235
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.919
think it's just fair to let your crew go. Like,

236
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.519
spread your fucking wings, bro, nob spread your fucking wings.

237
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.919
Make some money, bro, Like you're my friend, I want

238
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:10.639
to see you thrive.

239
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.799
I love it. I love it, and okay, so I

240
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.279
saw again your caricature done earlier. Yeah, tell me and

241
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.759
tell me how cool that was.

242
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.159
Bro, that's my favorite artist.

243
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.759
He created all the original caricatures for Bob's Burgers, and

244
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.120
he also created two of my favorite music videos of

245
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.840
all time for a band called trash Talk, like the

246
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:39.559
animated cartoon videos, which are so fucking underrated they're insane.

247
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.200
If you haven't watched them, just look up the band

248
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.799
trash Talk music videos and you'll see the animated videos.

249
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.759
It's like dudes taking like acid and shrooms and shit

250
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.679
and they're like losing their minds and like motorcycles smashing

251
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.799
their heads open and like people pissing on their faces.

252
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.440
It's fucking insane.

253
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:57.679
Bro.

254
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.240
So he's made like a lot of my favorite art,

255
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.120
so for him to draw me is just such a blessing.

256
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.279
But him and I have become good friends and he's

257
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.279
drawn me quite a few times, and it's just a

258
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.200
really cool thing that I cherish.

259
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:16.679
And I looked at it was pretty freaking good.

260
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.039
It's fucking sick, dude, right, I look like a redneck,

261
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.840
redneck metal bobs Burger, cigar in mouth, beer in.

262
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:30.639
Hand, just piece of shit. It's awesome. I've love album cover. Oh,

263
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:32.600
it could be. It's it's good.

264
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:34.879
There it is. Is there anything else you want to

265
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.039
tell the listeners about that you got coming up that

266
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:38.279
they should know.

267
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.960
I think the biggest thing that people should know right

268
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.840
now is that Attila is releasing our brand new album

269
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.960
on Halloween, October thirty.

270
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:47.279
First.

271
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.559
The album is called Concrete Throne. It's fully self produced.

272
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.960
We did everything on our own, and I'm not even kidding.

273
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.720
Like the album goes from like the heaviest song ever

274
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.639
as the intro to a country song, to a death

275
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:06.200
core slam song.

276
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.440
To like it's all over the place.

277
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.080
So I love that it kind of it kind of

278
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.159
feels like an album where if you listen, if you

279
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.000
actually listen to it front to back, you're gonna be like,

280
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.320
what the fuck is going on here?

281
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:17.000
See?

282
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:17.879
And I like that.

283
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.039
We were just talking before. I was talking to the

284
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.639
dude from Bowling for Suit who you were talking to, Yeah,

285
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.840
but we were talking about that about you know, back

286
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.399
in the day, like everybody was a fucking gatekeeper and

287
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.120
you could only like this band and you gonna and

288
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.559
it was such bullshit, and I love We were talking

289
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:41.919
about aftershock and how you can have here hip hop, pop, punk, metal, rock, whatever,

290
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:43.879
and we're just one big, happy family.

291
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:45.639
Yeah, exactly.

292
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.080
And I think back in the day too, people just

293
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.360
had more of like an attention span where people really

294
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.679
valued the idea of an album, and when you dropped

295
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.960
a full album, people would sit down like that day

296
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.360
and they would listen to it front to back. But

297
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.639
now I think the issue is, like people are so

298
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:08.879
consumed in this like TikTok social media world where it's

299
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:13.240
like doom scrolling all day, and it's like, instead of

300
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.159
doom scrolling all fucking day, if you just actually sat

301
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.000
down and listened to your favorite band's brand new album

302
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.480
front to back, you might you might have like a

303
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.440
greater visceral experience, like you might feel something really cool.

304
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.240
But it's just you can't change people. You just have

305
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.399
to live with the world we live in. Yeah, but

306
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.519
I would just hope that people would listen to the

307
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.639
new Attila album front to back, because I think putting

308
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.440
out an album is a very special thing and I

309
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.759
think people should listen to it front to back.

310
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.000
Yeah. You know, there's so many albums out there that

311
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.240
I think if they weren't listening to front to back,

312
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.200
they wouldn't really make any sense, you know. Yeah, imagine

313
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.039
Dark Side of the Moon if it was just released

314
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:55.799
as singles.

315
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.840
Yeah, stupid, right fully stupid.

316
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.679
Like you can't listen it at its album just once,

317
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.320
just even when they play it on the radio, you

318
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.720
hear like, fuck they cut it off where it's the

319
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.559
rest of the song.

320
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:07.720
Yep, exactly.

321
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.200
And it's interesting what you're saying, because I talk about

322
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.320
it all the time. I remember, first of all, when

323
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.360
you bought an album, you didn't get to hear what

324
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.240
it sounded like first. So one of the things you

325
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.120
would do is listen to it over and over and

326
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.039
over again. Why because you didn't get it free. You

327
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.519
had your hard earned money you had to buy, and

328
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.279
you made sure that you listened to it over and

329
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.639
over and that. But it was a full experience. I

330
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.320
would sit on my balcony with the headphones on, look

331
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.559
at all the artwork, and you know, read all the lyrics.

332
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.799
My kids will get in the car with me and

333
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.919
they're all like, Dad, how you know the lyrics of

334
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.159
every single song? Because that's what you did. You Yeah,

335
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.679
and you over and over and over the whole album,

336
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:54.679
not one song at a time. You would listen to

337
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.240
a whole album over and over and over and over again.

338
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:03.360
So my fiance has the vinyl from Lenyard SKINNERD right

339
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.559
before the plane crash happened, and I opened that vinyl

340
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.839
and it gave me goosebumps because when you open that vinyl,

341
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.240
in the insert, it's all the details of the album

342
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.200
and everything. But also in that in that insert is like, hey,

343
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.680
if you want a T shirt, send five dollars. If

344
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.559
you want this, send two dollars. If you want this,

345
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:29.400
send six dollars, and then just like cut this slip

346
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.799
off and send your slip and your cash to this address.

347
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.480
And we'll ship you a shirt.

348
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.000
And I was like, fuck, that was such a cool

349
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.160
time to be alive, where you just you got to

350
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.759
you got to like live the album, listen to it,

351
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.240
and while you're listening to it on your vinyl player,

352
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.240
you got to just open this insert where you got

353
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.640
to choose like things you want. And then it was

354
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.160
also like, hey, we're gonna be on tour soon, like

355
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.519
you can buy a ticket, and it was just so

356
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.680
fucking cool. I'm not like that old where like I'm

357
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.240
super we're into the vinyl days, but I missed that

358
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:07.000
physical like experience days because I used I used to

359
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.000
open up a CD, for example, and read every lyric.

360
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.440
I would read every thing that the band had to

361
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:19.079
say about their process, like their their thank yous or

362
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:23.440
their whatever, like the backstory, the art, everything, and it's

363
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.359
so much more of an experience. But now with everything

364
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:33.480
being so digital and everything being so like fifteen second mindset,

365
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.119
Oh my god, it's so fucked.

366
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:39.680
My favorite songs ever, people today would have never made

367
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.319
through the intro.

368
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.720
Imagine exactly.

369
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.160
Imagine like a song like Battery by Metallica. Yeah, let's

370
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.480
say the first ten seconds you'd be like, next track, yep,

371
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.279
you know, fast as a Shark by except you'd be like,

372
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:54.000
what the fuck is this next track?

373
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:54.400
Yep?

374
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:57.599
And we were like, oh my fucking god, so they waited.

375
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:01.240
That's what's fucked, bro. They're like pro programming people to

376
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.880
live in this like ten to fifteen second like brain

377
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:09.440
time frame to where it's like when you're a musician,

378
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:13.480
it's difficult because you now we're living in this world

379
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.920
where we have to capture people's attention within fifteen seconds

380
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.079
or else we're fucked, right, and it shouldn't be like that.

381
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.720
We should be able to create like a piece of art.

382
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:27.680
But now we have to capture people's attention in like

383
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:33.319
TikTok world, and it's fucking stupid, dude, it's so fucking stupid, dude,

384
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.920
it's fucking it's so fucking retarded.

385
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:36.400
I hate it.

386
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.079
Oh. I even have talked to artists who we were

387
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.920
talking about the songwriting process nowadays, and like you have

388
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.720
to change if you go by what they tell you

389
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.559
to do, you have to change the songwriter. It used

390
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.359
to be like get an intro.

391
00:19:52.119 --> 00:20:00.960
A verse, chorus, verse, solo, Yeah, bridge, chorus, another, verse

392
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:01.799
and chorus.

393
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.319
Now it's like, okay, you gotta go right into the chorus.

394
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.160
Yeah, one verse, chorus.

395
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.519
The chorus has to hit within thirty seconds. Now, if

396
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.640
