DYING WISH | GHOST STORIES + FAN CASTING w/ THE METALCORE NO FLY LIST LEGENDS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My guests this week are Emma Boster, Sam Reynolds, and Jon Mackey of Dying Wish. We talked about experiencing the paranormal, almost ending up on the no fly list, and we figure out who would play Dying Wish in their biopic.
156/SILENCE | ALBUM OF THE YEAR? JACK MURRAY ON PEOPLE WATCHING…FROM A DISTANCE. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My guest on the podcast this week is Jack Murray, vocalist of metalcore band 156/Silence. Despite being a band for almost 10 years, 156/Silence really got people’s attention on 2024’s ‘People Watching’. We talked about why he thinks that is, and how their new album ‘From A Distance’ is truly its successor in more ways than one. I punished him for a deep dive on the record as well as talks on religion, video games, the story of the bands eerie mascot ‘Phillip’ and much more. Enjoy.
