Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#75 Josh Middleton (Sylosis)
Q: How do you define what makes a riff heavy in today's production environment?
It's about the entrance, dynamics, and how you set up the riff with drums and bass; tuning helps but the live energy and phrasing are what make it hit hard.
#72 Jake Luhrs (August Burns Red)
Q: What are the main advantages of maintaining a tight band dynamic after 20 years?
A strong, honest, and supportive culture within the band keeps everyone aligned, reduces internal friction, and helps the group stay creative and resilient through touring and industry changes.
#72 Jake Luhrs (August Burns Red)
Q: How did your personal growth influence your approach to creating Behemoth and the Thrill Seeker re-release?
I approached the re-record with a much clearer sense of mission, pushing for the best possible vocal takes and collaborating closely with Brent to align our visions, which deepened the emotional impact of the songs.
#68 Frank Zummo (Electric Callboy / Sum 41)
Q: What led you to write your book 'Unbreakable Rhythm'?
Frank discusses the motivation behind the book, which aims to address mental health issues faced by kids, sharing insights from his workshops and personal experiences.
#68 Frank Zummo (Electric Callboy / Sum 41)
Q: How has your journey been transitioning from Sum 41 to Electric Callboy?
