BREWtally Speaking Podcast

Join Ray and I as we talk about “HIM”, the movie I had JUST finished minutes before we did this chat. We talk what we think the movie was getting at with its symbolism and kinda nerding out about Jordan Peele and the worlds that he’s created over his movies, and if they’re possibly a shared multiverse?

From there  Ray opens up about the success of his solo career, how when we last talked it was sort of a last ditch attempt at a career in making music. The challenges of releasing a song a week for a year.  Dealing with the success of his solo material, while also learning to deal with comments that he was either an industry plant or wasn’t even a real human being but AI. 

We talk about how the success of those songs allowed Ray to really dive deeper into himself to get to some of his most personal songs yet, including one that he wrote for his dad that he hasn’t shown him yet. We also dive into how hard it is for each of us to know how much of ourselves to put into our creative outlets due to backlash from strangers. 

Ray talks about some big life changes happening for him, partying with Gary Busey and more in this chat.

Join me as I chat with the members of A Static Lullaby.
We discuss the band's decision to release a live version of their debut album rather than pursuing a traditional rerecording or remaster, and what it was like revisiting those songs years later. We also talk about the experience of performing the album live and how their relationship with the material has evolved over time.
Additionally, we dive into their album Rattlesnake, examining its reception upon release compared to how fans view it today. We also revisit the band's iconic cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic," discussing how the idea came together, what it was like having one of their biggest songs be a cover, and what they believe makes for a truly great cover song. Along the way, we share some of the band's favorite covers and influences.
We close things out by discussing what's next for A Static Lullaby, what fans can expect moving forward, and much more.
Be sure to check out the band's latest releases and follow them on social media to stay up to date on everything they have coming next.

Join Stephen and I as we kick things off sounding like old men talking about the days before cell phones, using actual maps and how much of the pre technology nostalgia will the youth of today explore before realizing things are pretty good now?

From there we dive into the bands latest album, Dissenter, (out now) and much wild it is to hear a band 20+ years into their careers still pushing the boundaries of who and what their sound is.

Stephen talks about the process and intention behind
those decisions and how scoring films really inspired the cinematic feel to this album, down to the narrative of this record. What he hopes fans take away from this album and much more in this reflective episode with the Haste The Day vocalist.

Join Travis and I as we talk about the bands latest album, "The End Is Not The End".

Travis shares how the band really wanted to step out of their comfort zone and write and record as a full band. He also talks about how that process has gotten easier over the decades, not being precious about your ideas and what it was like having one of his favorite vocalists sing on the album.
We also talk about avoiding the comment sections and why we as people tend to fixate on ONE negative thing versus all the positives people say about us.

Travis takes us through the process of making another signature guitar, the new features that make this one different from the last and how it's really an extension of trying new things in life as well.

All this and more in my chat with the Atreyu guitarist.

Join John and and I as we catch up with one another for this chat in the Keep Flying van while the band was in town on tour with Wheetus.

John opens up about how it was breaking his back, the uncertainty of what his life would be after the surgery. How he was determined to get back on stage and play with his band, in whatever capacity that could be.

We discuss learning to re appreciate everyday things after losing them for a little while. The power of asking for help, including advice you'd give your 20 year old self.

John and I share tales of getting older and how comedically opposite our bladder issues are and more in this chat with one of the best people in the world.
