Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Crown Lands members Cody and Kevin talk about their new album 'Apocalypse', opening for Kiss & more.
Q: When starting the writing for the new album, are you writing the story first or developing it as you go?
They explain that Apocalypse began with musical ideas and a broad storyline, then evolved as they layered sections and harmonies, with the narrative becoming more defined after the instrumental framework was in place.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary years of Rush's 2112
Q: How did the book come together around the time of Rush's reunion tour?
The author explains there was no initial plan for a reunion or tour, and the timing ended up aligning fortuitously with new Rush activity, which made the book feel especially timely.
John Wesley and Colin Edwin talk about their Porcupine Tree-inspired project Voyage 35
Q: How did you settle on the name Voyage 35 and what does it signify for the project?
Voyage 35 signals a continuation and a fresh journey from Voyage 34, inviting listeners to explore a related era with a new lineup while nodding to the past; it also hints at a longer, ongoing exploration rather than a one-off reunion.
John Wesley and Colin Edwin talk about their Porcupine Tree-inspired project Voyage 35
Q: How did you guys connect on this project and decide to collaborate again after so many years?
The idea germinated when Colin reconnected with past Porcupine Tree members and talks about the old material sparked a reimagining of playing together, with John Wesley joining in because of his deep familiarity with the guitar work and the friendship within the band's orbit.
Producer/Musician Paul Meany on his work with Mutemath, Twenty-One Pilots, and his new solo album
Q: Can you tell us about the writing process for your debut album?
The debut was exciting, filled with urgency as we faced legal challenges, but it ultimately connected us to our audience and allowed us to make music that resonated.
