We talk about getting to share stages with some of the legends that shaped the scene, including New Found Glory and Simple Plan, and what it means to go from being a fan of this music to living it every night on tour.We also dive into the supportive community she has around her, including friends and fellow artists like Sophie Powers, Maggie Lindemann, and Taylor Acorn, and how that circle has helped create a space where artists can be real with each other. LØLØ talks about signing with Fearless Records, the creative and emotional process behind her sophomore album god forbid a girl spits out her feelings, and the surreal moment when Kevin Lyman shouted her out personally before she had ever even played Warped Tour.We also spend time talking about the vocal injury she experienced, the mental toll it took while navigating life as a touring artist, and how she worked through that period both personally and creatively. It is a thoughtful, vulnerable conversation about resilience, community, and finding your voice in more ways than one.Instagram - @loloTiktok & Youtube - @lolopopgurlDiscord in her Instagram Bio

At Riot Fest 2025, we caught up with Honey Revenge vocalist Devin Papadol for an electrifying conversation about the band's unique position in the modern emo landscape. From their pop-rock fusion that's transcending genre boundaries to becoming Kevin Lyman's favorite new band for Warped Tour 2025, Devin breaks down how Honey Revenge is creating music that makes you want to "cry but also shake ass." We explore the band's influences spanning from early 2000s pop icons like Kesha and Britney to metalcore roots, discuss their support for emerging artists like Love Rarely and Sweet Pill, and get exclusive details about their upcoming tour with Spiritbox. This conversation perfectly captures how the new wave of emo bands are destroying genre boundaries while staying true to the emotional core that defines the scene.Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction and catching up at Riot Fest 2025[00:22] Current emo listening habits: Love Rarely and Sweet Pill[01:13] What makes Honey Revenge's sound so emo[01:37] The untherapized brain vomit that became their debut[02:59] How their live show converts skeptics into believers[04:03] The death of genre boundaries in modern music[04:40] Kevin Lyman's obsession with Honey Revenge[05:48] Warped Tour 2025 and feeling like the teacher's pet[06:10] Upcoming Spiritbox tour announcement[06:20] Building community through Discord and PatreonEpisode Highlights:"We make music that is a remnant of many things... reminiscent of the pop music we grew up on and the metalcore we grew up on.""Everyone stuck up their f***ing nose to genre.

Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey.

Episode 81: Kevin Lyman. The Vans Warped Tour is the longest-running touring music festival in North America, drawing over 750,000 fans every summer at its peak. And it all started with one guy — Kevin Lyman. In this episode, we sit down in person with the man who turned parking lots into punk rock playgrounds, helped break some of the biggest names in music, and built a generation-defining cultural movement. Warped Tour was the first concert I ever went to at 13 years old, and a few years later, I was lucky enough to play the tour multiple times, including full runs, and again in 2010 with Skrillex. It was a big contributor in shaping my life. In this conversation, I finally got to ask Kevin everything I've wanted to know for years. We dive deep into: - How Kevin started Warped Tour from scratch - How he landed the sponsorship deal with Vans - The behind-the-scenes details that kept it running for 24 years - How he gave stages to artists like Sublime, No Doubt, Blink-182, Eminem, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Avenged Sevenfold, Paramore, Deftones, Katy Perry, The Used, Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, Sugar Ray, and MXPX - How legends like NOFX, Bad Religion, Rancid, Pennywise, and Less Than Jake helped anchor the tour - Why set times changed daily, were never announced in advance, and who set them - Working with Sublime, what Brad Nowell was like, and how Brad's death led Kevin to focus on helping people with recovery - Kevin's personal mission, values, and work ethic behind it all This 90-minute deep dive is the ultimate Warped Tour tell-all. We recorded it right after the first Warped Tour returned in Washington D.C. in July 2025 — with Long Beach and Florida still to come. Kevin Lyman is a punk rock pioneer, a cultural architect, and one of the most influential figures in live music. I'm honored to share this one with you.

This inspires MEGG to share how these experiences shaped her musical career, leading her to attend the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and later the University of Southern California's Popular Music Performance Program.MEGG recounts forming several bands along the way, including Runway MMC with her friends, supported by her mother's visionary clothing line idea, and Party for One, a pop-punk band she started with her buddies from USC.
