Louder Than Life Returns September 17-20, 2026 First Headliner Revealed: My Chemical Romance Plus Many More Acts To Be Announced Early Bird Tickets Will Go On Sale This Fall At LouderThanLifeFestival.com

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.

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.320
Hey, you lunto here's sure.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:10.839
For see. Wow.

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:12.560
Crazy Young.

4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.039
Is a pipe man here on the Adventures pipe Man

5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:23.199
W four c Y Radio.

6
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.879
And I'm here with Adam Dimiko from Lorna Shore Nice.

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.199
Here at Louder than Life. I've been following you all

8
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.960
over the world actually because I do festivals here UK Europe,

9
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.439
and you guys have just been everywhere.

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.200
We have been everywhere, literally have been everywhere. It feels

11
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:38.920
like it.

12
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.679
How wild is that? Like, from starting out and then

13
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.560
being a death core band and then all of a

14
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.320
sudden you're accepted in like even Lollapalooz are like everywhere

15
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:49.640
you go like they want you.

16
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.640
It is very surreal to think about the band from

17
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.640
the scope of like being a New Jersey local band,

18
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.479
and then it's already hard as is.

19
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.159
To I feel like, to make it outside of like

20
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.000
the state.

21
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:01.640
And then to be able to make it across the

22
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.079
country and then across the different countries and across the world.

23
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.840
It is kind of crazy to see, especially the style

24
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.760
of music that we play is not really something that

25
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.879
I would expect to be able to be in all

26
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.879
these different places. But definitely humble and grateful that we

27
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:14.040
get to do all these things.

28
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.920
But yeah, it's nothing I've ever expected.

29
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.319
I was just grateful that we got to like leave

30
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:17.840
New Jersey.

31
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.200
Right, what exit do you live off of? I'm from

32
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:20.799
Jersey to.

33
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.400
Where in New Jersey. I grew up on Exit one? Nice.

34
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.280
I grew up in Montclair, roseland Little Fall, so not far.

35
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.319
From Union County. So yeah, yeah, so I still live

36
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.760
in Union County. I just don't live I live off

37
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.319
Exit one thirty five now, so yeah, Scotch Plains area,

38
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:37.040
so that's where.

39
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.319
I live, and that I lived in South Plainfield.

40
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.359
Nice is nice, nice nights.

41
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.000
I used to be years and years ago, manager of

42
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.000
Harrows On in Union. I don't even know if it

43
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.560
was open because it closed like several years. It was

44
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.920
open for like sixty years. Okay, it was the pool place.

45
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:52.920
Oh, okay, you know what I think. I think I

46
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.920
didn't have a pool, but I think I know exactly

47
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:55.519
what you're talking.

48
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.400
About it, yeah, Jersey, Well, yeah, exactly. It's a very

49
00:01:58.400 --> 00:01:58.840
small world.

50
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.519
So to be able to escape and be able to like,

51
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.799
you know, play in different countries and different parts of

52
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.359
the world is very surreal.

53
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:06.239
I would say.

54
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.919
Totally because I remember back in the day, Like back

55
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.240
in the nineties, it was like either you play club

56
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.560
Stocks we called it pig Pen, but it was play

57
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.080
Pen or Birch Hill and Old Bridge or like one

58
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.400
of those little places, and like that's kind of where

59
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.879
it stayed, Like Metallica, that's where that was their home

60
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.719
after their home was in the Bay Area after LA.

61
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:28.879
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No.

62
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.120
It's crazy because like we grew up playing really really

63
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.560
small like VFW fire halls and like all that type

64
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.680
of stuff wasn't even like venues because there really wasn't

65
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.680
many outside of like bigger ones stuff like Starland and

66
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.360
like Walmont and stuff like that, which we were not

67
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.840
capable of playing.

68
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:43.560
At that point in time.

69
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.000
So to be able to do that and to be

70
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.560
able to take the band from where we were to

71
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.319
where we are now is just really awesome.

72
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.159
I have my thoughts. I want to hear your thoughts

73
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.199
and then I'll express mine of what do you think

74
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.199
propelled you to play all over the world and especially

75
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.759
in places probably Death Gore would normally not play.

76
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.520
Honestly, the more I try to think about it, the

77
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.120
less magical it is, right, I think, the more try

78
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.039
to figure it out, so that maybe I shouldn't tell

79
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.800
you no, please tell of your opinion, because everyone always

80
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.639
tells us the opinion, and it's cool to hear.

81
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.400
It's like cool to hear the people's take on it.

82
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.280
But to me, I just feel like my whole thing

83
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.439
is that I feel not just our band, but I

84
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.800
think just the world that our band comes from, just

85
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.360
from being extreme music. I think it's starting to be

86
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.159
more accepted these days. I think people are starting to

87
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.759
be more open minded to it and being more open

88
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.680
to it, and I think that has allowed us to

89
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.960
be able to exist and thrive in places that we

90
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.120
probably shouldn't have been in because I feel like these

91
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.919
days everyone is a lot more open minded to what

92
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.879
we are producing, and I think more people are understanding it.

93
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.719
I would say, is that's the way that I kind

94
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.599
of see it, just from not band, but from just

95
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.319
the extreme mental standpoints I feel like growing up, I

96
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.960
feel like if I explain to anyone, like my family

97
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.199
or anyone that any friends I didn't listen to it,

98
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.520
they never got why I listened to that stuff. But

99
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.680
I feel like nowadays, I think people are being a

100
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.919
little more are diving deeper and trying to understand what

101
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.840
it is that makes us music, and I feel like

102
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.479
kind of gaining more fans from that, That's how I

103
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:11.120
kind of see it.

104
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.960
Totally agree with that as somebody that comes from the

105
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.800
original eighties band, Like I went to slayers first show ever,

106
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.959
Metallica's first show ever. That's my battle vest nice in

107
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.360
the eighties and Slayer didn't even have a patch back then,

108
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.480
so I just did that Nice, there you go. And

109
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.600
so like, I think it's because the world first of

110
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.279
all metal. We're one big family now, so there's a

111
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.639
lot of people that are accepting metal that would have

112
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.279
never back then. I think there's a lot less gatekeepers

113
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.480
is one thing. There's some still, but not like then,

114
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.839
Like you couldn't even listen if you listen to this band,

115
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.720
you can listen to that band. But I think most importantly,

116
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.079
the world right now is so crazy and your music

117
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.879
is so emotional and so real that people are really

118
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.360
that and relating to the lyrics and the feeling that

119
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.199
they get from it.

120
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.040
Yeah, I think definitely think we put a lot of

121
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.319
our emotion and we wear a heart on our sleeve.

122
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:10.759
I'd say when we writ our music, I think we

123
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.519
really lean into that. And I think we've taken some

124
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.800
chances in the past by leaning into that kind of

125
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.480
route and it's done well for us, Yeah, which is

126
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.120
always kind of nice to kind of be like, put

127
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.199
yourself out there and then people will receive it the

128
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.680
way you kind of wanted to be received is a

129
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.839
good you know, feeling and good experience. And I think

130
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.319
the more we've done that, the more people we've reached,

131
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.480
which is a good Obviously, good feeling allows me to

132
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.279
go to different places that I never thought oud would be,

133
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:33.279
so it's really cool.

134
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.199
I definitely agree with that.

135
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:35.959
I feel there is a lot going on, and I've

136
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.120
always said that our job as musicians is to be

137
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.399
the wage between people and the shit they deal with.

138
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:41.439
Yeah, and trying.

139
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.040
To create that piece for a little bit, and that

140
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.680
means finding something to relate to in our music or

141
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.800
finding something to escape to in our music. Is I

142
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.560
feel like we're doing our service to the world.

143
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.399
I agree, and it's true because back in the day,

144
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.839
you know, metal wasn't supposed to be the emotional music.

145
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.560
It was something different, but we all got therapy from it.

146
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.959
But now it's there's different therapy. I think there's different

147
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.439
therapy mean now than there was then.

148
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:08.759
Yeah, I think for me, what I got into metal

149
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:10.639
was all I got into it was I felt like

150
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.319
it was an escape and it was a release from

151
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.519
just like being super intense. And I've always loved that,

152
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.279
and we try to put that in our music as well,

153
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.560
because I also do find that there is a place

154
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.279
for it, but I just feel as if it's adding

155
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.519
the other elements to it is just as necessary. But

156
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.360
it's not like a conscious thought. It just kind of

157
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.519
comes out organically. It kind of like comes out and

158
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.120
how we write, and it's not like we sit down

159
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.079
and go, we need to write this because of these

160
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.319
blank reasons, because I just feel like that feels very disingenuous. Yeah,

161
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.560
so we try writing from a very honest standpoint what

162
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.839
we're feeling. And I even said, I can't write a

163
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.720
sad song if I'm not feeling sad. You can't force

164
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.600
me to write something. And I'm not gonna write an angry

165
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.600
song if I'm not really angry or not having a

166
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.600
need to express those emotions. So I feel human beings

167
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.319
are very dense and have a lot of emotions they

168
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.959
kind of go through on a regular basis and try

169
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.600
to find a way to channel that and put into

170
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.160
songs and put it on an album and people can

171
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:58.680
relate to it or escape from it.

172
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.759
I love hearing that too, because on the other end,

173
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.800
there are a lot of metal bands nowadays I kind

174
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.759
of go by this formula of what they should be

175
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.040
for whatever their micro genre is. And I love what

176
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.600
you're saying because to me an artists, you're just expressing

177
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.079
yourself and you're right, whatever mood you're in, you can't

178
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.800
force another mood and you can't fake it.

179
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:20.199
No.

180
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:21.439
I think I try to.

181
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.160
It's always come out really wrong and just very It's

182
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.240
something I wouldn't even listen to. But I feel like, oh,

183
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.000
I have to be this thing and I'm not in

184
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.560
the mood to do that. Then it won't come out

185
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.360
in a productive manner. So yeah, I also feel we

186
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.199
all have different emotions that we go through. I think

187
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.959
some people spend more time in certain ones than others,

188
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.360
but I feel that's true. What we try to do

189
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.920
with writing a record is having a diverse spectrum of

190
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:46.639
emotions that you can kind of relate to, and whether

191
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.399
it be good or bad, or ones you're trying to

192
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.759
escape from or ones you're trying to live in.

193
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:51.439
A little bit more.

194
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.079
I think just try to have that because I feel

195
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.720
like we all kind of go through that throughout the

196
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.519
week or throughout the day or throughout the year, and

197
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.240
I feel like just having that as an availability is

198
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:00.519
something that I try to think about.

199
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.920
And I love what you said before because like, to me, like,

200
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.319
if you are just true to yourself, your people will come.

201
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.920
And I think that's what happened. Yeah, you didn't think

202
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.360
about what you should do, what you have to do,

203
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.680
or what people would like. You just did what you felt.

204
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.120
And then that I think that's why you got out

205
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:20.519
of Jersey.

206
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.279
Can't you can't figure out what people like?

207
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.920
I think someone says something to me forever ago was

208
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:29.519
like you can be the ripest, juiciest peach under the sun,

209
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.480
but someone stile allergic to it. That's a great So, like,

210
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.279
it doesn't matter what you do, someone's gonna find something

211
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.080
they don't like about it or don't even have any

212
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.120
interest in. So uh, to try to write from that

213
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.559
standpoint of trying to be the best for someone, they

214
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.559
might not even like it anyway. So trying to create

215
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.399
with that intention is, I just feel is very disingenuous

216
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.679
and it's very inauthentic, and it doesn't allow people to

217
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.279
organically come to the band, which I feel like for

218
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.480
me as a still a fan of music, it's nice

219
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.840
to just come to something organically and not someone telling

220
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.639
you you must listen to this thing because here said reasons.

221
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.279
The contrarian to me, doesn't really prescribe to that anyway, right,

222
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.559
So to me, it's really nice to have come across

223
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.000
something organically because it connects to you and it's not

224
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.440
something and it feels nice that it's being written not

225
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.039
because of like any other reason other than that's just

226
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.120
what they felt like expressing.

227
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.799
So absolutely, And how do you feel it's been for

228
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.519
you as an artist? Like to me, I know music

229
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.120
is therapy to the artists and to the listener. How

230
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.759
do you think it's helped you through your hard times?

231
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.440
Just writing and performing the music.

232
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.600
It's a way to express yourself. It's a way to

233
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.080
make sense of things that don't make sense. Think of

234
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.639
things like emotions have they don't make any sense at all,

235
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.279
at least that's what I tell myself. And to find

236
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.240
a place to express it, to almost somewhat put it

237
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.000
to paper is I think really healthy. It's really productive

238
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.039
and I find it just it's been cool to just

239
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.639
put it out to the world and have other people

240
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.279
relate to that. So it's a really cool moment for me.

241
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.440
I think I've always found it, whether it be at

242
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.639
this scale or at a smaller scale, which is cool

243
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.799
that like you can tell your story and someone can

244
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.879
relate to it and it's a complete stranger from you,

245
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.200
and it's just really cool. I don't know, interconnecting type

246
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:03.759
of thing, if you will, but it's a cool way

247
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.080
to express yourself. It's a really cool outlet and it's

248
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:07.759
a lot healthier than other forms.

249
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:08.559
I would say.

250
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.919
Absolutely, Like people don't understand the pit, Okay, Like me,

251
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.039
I go on the pit to get all my crap out. Yeah,

252
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.440
you know, so I won't do stupid shit out there.

253
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.879
Yeah, I mean that's what that's what they're for.

254
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.120
It's there to release so that you can go back

255
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.840
to life feeling a little bit more at peace. I

256
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.840
would say, yeah, Which I know it seems crazy because

257
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.559
you on the outside world seeing something like this extreme

258
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.039
genre of music is like that makes no sense, But

259
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.000
like I feel like it's if you see it from

260
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.120
a lens of being more cathartic, as opposed to like

261
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.440
you know what other stigmas.

262
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.279
Are attached to it. I feel like it.

263
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.559
It looks like a healthier thing, I agree, which is

264
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:44.759
weird to say healthy.

265
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.559
And like in the context of us, but that's kind

266
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.159
of how I view it.

267
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.480
Well, that's kind of like when people say certain things

268
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.639
to me, like how can you listen that and go

269
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.679
to sleep? Or how can you listen whom like it relaxes.

270
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.519
Yeah, No, it's crazy because again that was the same

271
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.120
thing as me as a kid listening to it, Like

272
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.960
I would listen to the bands and I would fall

273
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:01.639
asleep right away.

274
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:02.960
I'd fall asleep listening to it.

275
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.600
I do it on the road and just like all right,

276
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.200
wake up to like listening to a record, I'm like,

277
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.799
how did I fall asleep to this?

278
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.519
But it just I don't know it. There is a release.

279
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.559
There totally, so the newest album, Yes, tell us about that,

280
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.960
and tell us how you've evolved as a writer and

281
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.679
artist in this album compared to previous albums.

282
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.559
So I think this time around, the biggest thing that

283
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.840
I feel like I was attached to was trying to

284
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.039
make each song be its own character and focus on

285
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.360
the strengths of those characters as opposed to try and

286
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.200
to have every song be every character. You know, it's

287
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.240
like kind of like watching a movie and each character

288
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.799
plays its point, all right, it's purpose in the story.

289
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.879
And I feel like that was something that I was

290
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.720
trying to focus on, is like lean into the strengths

291
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.600
and really commit and protect those strengths. So if a

292
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.039
song is meant to be a certain direction, really do

293
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.440
everything to bolster that up. And if a song's meant

294
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.240
to be a completely different direction, do things that aid

295
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.000
in that as opposed to trying to take away from it.

296
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.360
So I feel like that was the biggest thing that

297
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.320
I feel like I evolved from, was like really being

298
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:06.799
committed to what is this song, what is the theme

299
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.799
of the song, from top to bottom, from beginning to end,

300
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:10.840
because I feel like in the past, I feel like

301
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.519
we're a little more vague and we tried like dipping

302
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.799
our toes into different things at once, which sometimes worked out,

303
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.759
but sometimes it felt like you were left with like

304
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.360
a confusing story. And this time around, it felt like

305
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.960
from top to bottom, from like the moment we start

306
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.639
writing a song to like finishing a song with lyrics

307
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.240
or a music video or even album art or anything,

308
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:32.480
or just song name or anything.

309
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.559
It was just like, let's just make sure it.

310
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.759
Really hones into committing to what that song's purpose is.

311
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.960
So I feel like just making sure and protecting the

312
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.639
diversity of the record, making sure that you're protecting the

313
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.000
theme of the record is just is important. And that's

314
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.919
something that I feel like we've for sure grown to

315
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.120
on this album. And I also just think, as I

316
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.519
was saying before, like genuinely writing about your experience, you know,

317
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.080
not writing a song because I feel like I have

318
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.960
to have in checking a box and we need to

319
00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.440
have a blank song. We need to have a song

320
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.519
that has blend or this or that. It felt like

321
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.120
this time around was like, if we're feeling this emotion,

322
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.559
just kind of ride that as long as you possibly can,

323
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:10.559
and then just really being committed to having everything be

324
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.279
as cohesive as possible.

325
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.039
I think that's what makes your music real and what

326
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.279
has brought such a strong loyal fan base to you.

327
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.639
Right there, I hope. So I'll take it. I'll take that.

328
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:22.159
I'll take it.

329
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.480
Tell everybody how they reach out to you on socials,

330
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.120
on the web, by your merge.

331
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.039
