Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Michael Abrams (Valley of Doves)
Q: Bring me through recording that, what that was like.
Michael Abrams describes the process as a structured, deliberate build: drums, bass, and vocals tracked first to lock in the vocal melodies, followed by deliberate guitar layering and careful mixing to preserve live feel while achieving a polished sound.
Stephen Keech (Haste the Day)
Q: Bring me through joining Haste the Day.
Stephen describes how he was approached to fill in on vocals for an Europe tour, initially thinking it was about merch, then being asked to join full-time, and ultimately deciding to commit after weighing the impact on his friends and band.
Jon Berndtson (The Beautiful Mistake, Cue the Doves, Years Spent, Get Young)
Q: What was it like recording Light a Match with Ed Rose?
It was transformative; I wasn't prepared, and Ed pushed me to redo takes until everything clicked, which taught me the value of preparation and seriousness and shaped my work ethic for years.
Matt Greiner (August Burns Red)
Q: What makes this new album stand out in ABR's discography?
Matt explains that the new album aims for a raw, non-polished feel that sounds like the band actually playing together, with meticulous preparation and internalizing parts to avoid over-editing.
Matt Greiner (August Burns Red)
Q: What was it like growing up in the band and breaking into the scene?
Matt describes growing up in a small town, discovering a love for drumming, and the excitement of joining a Solid State Records-supported path after a DIY start, which set the stage for the band's trajectory.
