Love is when we stay and help someone pluck out their thorns one-by-one and they do the same for us. Love is also when we pluck the thorns out of our own flesh, one-by-one. But today, the world teaches us that we shouldn't even see those thorns, that we should only see the petals. As a result, we don't know how to love ourselves and we don't know how to love others. Stay with the darkness, and bring that darkness into the light. It's there, look at it.”

Friends with no love ends; it's been a few seconds. I hope you're all well and raising some kindness and love-based hell. Thank you as always for being along on my podcastical odyssey. Here are some thick thoughts post Canadian east-coast traveling and unraveling after spending a week recording a new album. I talk about my last podcast with Strombo (George Stroumboulopoulos) and hitting the 100 mark, the stirring of the sonic sauce of the new album with Charles Austin and Melissa Payne and all of their beautiful and bountiful work out at Ocean Floor, and just re-regulating after the deregulating of travel and a truly immersive experience. You are loved. Don't forget that.Catch me in a town near you in 2025 alongside Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley (Lowest of the Low) and many other rad artists by visiting my website to see where I'm playing.

As a full time independent artist, you can support me by buying the Always Everthing vinyl or brand new "block heater" toque here or by joining my SUPER RAD subscription service at https://ko-fi.com/gravencanada - and remember - you're always welcome in Graventown.

What does it take to grow up loving music in a non-musical household—and still carve your way onto one of heavy music's most respected labels? On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam and Tera Lisicky sit down with Joe from Lightworker for a no-holds-barred conversation about humble roots in Redwood City, navigating sketchy Bay Area venues as a teenager, and learning to channel creative urges through violin and guitar—even if it meant skipping lunch to buy new CDs. Joe opens up about his evolution from writing songs alone to forming Lightworker, grinding through DIY releases, and the pivotal moment when Solid State Records offered them a deal just as they were wrapping up their debut album. We talk about the pressure and privilege of working with heavy-hitting producers like Daniel Gailey (Fit For A King, Phinehas) and Beau Burchell (Saosin) for two albums in a row, and how the creative process—marked by pandemic writer's block and late-night artistic breakthroughs—helped shape Lightworker's heavier, most personal record to date, How the Beautiful Decay. Whether you're an aspiring artist or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode offers real talk about perseverance, DIY hustle, and what it means to “do the work” in an ever-changing music industry. Hit play to hear Joe's journey from classical music as a kid to fronting one of the Bay Area's fiercest heavy bands—and don't forget to subscribe, follow, and join the Bringin' It Backwards community for more conversations you won't hear anywhere else.
