DILUSIONS: The DILUTED Podcast That Nobody Ever Asked For

Amor Alive took their love of pop punk and turned it into anthemic choruses, feisty guitar work, and a couple of bitchin' breakdowns. We sat down with Nick and Jimmy and picked their brains about fatherhood, their previous music projects, and what it means to be "penisy".
