Podcasts about Highly Suspect

We had the pleasure of interviewing Highly Suspect over Zoom video! Never content to follow, Highly Suspect push rock music forward by trusting their instincts and raising a middle finger to everything else. The multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated and gold-certified band - Johnny Stevens [vocals, guitar], Ryan Meyer [drums, vocals], Rich Meyer [bass, vocals], Matt Kofos [guitar] and Mark Schwartz [keyboards/guitars] - don't just talk about burning the rules and breaking the mold; they actually do so.The band's chemically imbalanced mix of gritty guitars, haunting piano, off-kilter synths, hip-hop production, cinematic vision, and beautifully possessed vocals transformed them into a phenomenon beloved by a diehard global fanbase known as “MCID” [My Crew Is Dope]. After grinding it out as an underground curiosity, they scraped a path to mainstream infamousness with their 2015 full-length debut, Mister Asylum. It earned a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Rock Album” as the single “Lydia” received a nomination for “Best Rock Song” was certified gold by the RIAA.The 2016 follow-up The Boy Who Died Wolf roared to life with the gold-selling “My Name Is Human,” which catapulted to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and garnered a GRAMMY® Nomination for “Best Rock Song.” 2019's MCID affirmed them as the rare outfit who could collaborate with Young Thug and Gojira on the same album. Loudwire hailed the latter among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019.”  With hundreds of millions of streams and sold out shows on multiple continents, Highly Suspect charged ahead of the pack again on 2022's The Midnight Demon Club with no compromises and no apologies as they challenged rock to be dangerous and maybe even life-changing again. This past summer the band  shared their latest opus, As Above, So Below, is out now via Roadrunner/300/ElektraWe want to hear from you!

THE AMATEUR MOVIE REVIEW Imagine yourself as CIA cryptographer Charlie Heller. You look like Rami Malek, you're decidedly a huge dork, and somehow you land Sarah (the stunning Rachel Brosnahan) as a wife.

DROP MOVIE REVIEW Remember when everything was “Die Hard on a _____”? No? Ok, you may have been too young for that but trust me, it was incessant.

A WORKING MAN REVIEW Say what you will about this new found collaboration between David Ayer and Jason Statham, but they really know how to turn b-movie action plots into ridiculous and eccentric flicks.

HEART EYES MOVIE REVIEW In continuing the ever-meta-ning of the horror-comedy genre, as we go deeper into the rabbit-hole of self-referentialism and winking at the audience, some of the entries have become absurdly lazy.

Y2K MOVIE REVIEW Some of us are old enough to remember New Year's Eve as we went from 1999-2000. There was a big scare dubbed Y2K that was about fears that all computerized devices were going to shut down (or something) because their internalized clocks were not set up to deal with that calendar change.… Read More »Highly Suspect Reviews: Y2K

MOANA 2 MOVIE REVIEW It's not usually a good sign when an animation company repurposes a planned tv series into a sequel film to one of their hits. I mean, I think. It's happened before, right?
