    Rockcast 418 - Justin Benlolo of Brkn Love
    Jun 5 2025
    Before the release of their self-titled debut in early 2020, weeks before the pandemic struck, the band BRKN Love had been on the road doing what all new bands do. They were paying their dues and building a fan base, which included me. Since then, they have put out two more albums, each one doing just a bit better than the previous. Justin Benlolo is the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the band. In fact, BRKN Love has been Justin's baby all along. They are a swinging rock and roll band and one that's worth a listen. Just listen to Justin explain it here, how could you not be rooting for this band?

    BRKN Love's 3rd album, The Program, is available now.

  • Rockcast 417 - Josh Katz of Badflower

    Rockcast 417 - Josh Katz of Badflower
    May 29 2025
    Over the past decade, it's been the band Badflower to take a torch once carried by bands like My Chemical Romance and carry it into the realms of modern rock. Lead singer Josh Katz wears his heart on his sleeve with lyrics that resonate with anyone, no matter what they might be going through. That has never been more evident than on their latest single, "Paws," all about the possibility of losing his dog and best friend. That song, along with the previous single "Detroit," will be on Badflower's third full-length album, There Is No Place Like Home, due out on June 20th.

    Josh and I have had some deep conversations in the past, and has their manager reminded me, "you two gab like two old Grandmas," well, this conversation gets into some real-life stuff.

    Rockcast 416 - Dave Stephens of We Came As Romans
    May 23 2025
    Losing a band member is one thing, but losing a member to a tragic death is an entirely another thing. We Came As Romans lost their singer, Kyle Pavone, in 2018 to what was ruled an accidental overdose. That's a hard task to overcome, but not for this band. We Came as Romans have overcome everything thrown at them, and not only did they survive, but they've strived. Founding member and singer (the band with Kyle had two singers), Dave Stephen,s joins us while waiting for a flight to go play a giant music festival to talk new music and what it's taken to overcome tragedy.

    Rockcast 415 - Jeremy DePoyster of The Devil Wears Prada
    May 16 2025
    20 years is a long time to be in a band, but sometimes it takes that long to truly break through and become more than just underground heroes. The Devil Wears Prada is doing exactly that with a string of recent hits and a new song, "For You," that's poised to take the band to new heights. Plus, you'd be hard pressed to find a better live band than them. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Jeremy DePoyster joins me this week to break it all down and unofficially announce a new album due out in the future. Not breaking news, I know, but you'll have to listen to get the details.

    Rockcast 414 - Sam Carter of Architects
    May 9 2025
    After 11 studio albums, you might think a band is starting to get meh, but that is definitely not the case with Architects. Their latest offering, The Sky, The Earth & All Between, sees the band exploring their sound in a way that just works. Produced by former Bring Me The Horizon keyboardist and songwriter Jordan Fish, the sounds are all there. From the pummelling to the melodic, this band isn't showing any signs of slowing down. They're headlining festivals, they went on tour with Metallica, and if their latest single "Everything Ends" keeps going, they might have one of their biggest hits in the band's long history on their hands.

    Lead singer Sam Carter joined me from his home in London the day before the NFL Draft so we even get a little sports talk in on this conversation, and gardening too! Wormhole, activated.

    See Architects on tour in the U.S. this summer.

  • Rockcast 413 - Matt Bigland of Dinosaur Pile-up

    Rockcast 413 - Matt Bigland of Dinosaur Pile-up
    May 2 2025
    The band Dinosaur Pile-Up just announced a new album and released two new songs. After kicking down the door of mainstream rock with the 2019 album Celebrity Mansions, we haven't really heard much from the band. There's a good reason for that, lead singer Matt Bigland was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, a digestive disease that wrecks your insides. Something I know a lot about as 15 years ago I found out that I had celiac disease, both are autoimmune diseases with similar outcomes, and they both suck. Matt ended up in the hospital for a bit, so his health needed to come first. Now though, he's better than ever, and the band is firing on all cylinders. Two new songs are out called "My Way and 'Bout to Lose It." They come off a new album called I've Felt Better, due out in August of 2025.

    On a side note, I personally am a huge fan of this band, and I'm stoked to have this conversation.

    Have you ever wondered what bands do during their off time? Like when they aren't on the road or in the middle of a new album. Well, artists do what artists do, and that is creative creation. In this case, that creation is music. While Theory of a Deadman should be on break, Tyler has been hard at work on some new tunes and making amazing fashion choices. Sometimes we just need "hey, what are you doing?" style catch up, and that's exactly what this is.
