From a babysitter spinning New Found Glory records in South Florida to sharing stages with Simple Plan and State Champs, Jonathon Fraser—better known as Northbound—has crafted a story of indie grit, pop-punk spirit, and relentless drive. In this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam and Tera Lisicky sit down with Jonathon to trace his journey from anxious high schooler in Fort Lauderdale's DIY scene to full-time solo artist in Los Angeles. Jonathon opens up about the early days: burning CDs of bedroom-recorded singles, DIY touring in borrowed vans as a teenager, and navigating the uncertainty of going solo when his bandmates chose college over the road. He details how a chance with Animal Style Records sparked his transition from acoustic storytelling to fully-formed band recordings, eventually leading to his latest chapter with Smart Punk Records. You'll hear about the reality of surviving the industry—touring hardships, financial risks of “making it,” and the drive to simply live comfortably through music. Plus, Jonathon shares candid reflections on moving to LA, staying ambitious after the pandemic derailed big plans, and the lessons he's picked up along the way. Whether you're an aspiring artist or just love hearing the real stories behind the music, this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom and the kind of authenticity you can only find on Bringin' It Backwards.

"We're still in my high school band, technically." After 37 years together, The Bouncing Souls prove that punk rock longevity is about more than just the music—it's about the chemistry.In this episode recorded at Riot Fest 2025, we catch up with Greg from The Bouncing Souls to discuss their incredible journey from New Jersey punk kids to scene veterans. Fresh off the release of their new single "Power," Greg shares the songwriting process behind the track and its message about recognizing personal power in chaotic times.We dive deep into what it takes to maintain a band for nearly four decades, the importance of supporting each other through life's challenges, and how The Bouncing Souls found themselves right in the pocket of the first wave emo movement alongside bands like Lifetime. Greg reflects on the evolution of the term "emo," the band's relationship to emotion in rock and roll, and what keeps them excited to perform night after night.Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction with Greg from The Bouncing Souls[00:20] Most emo song right now: new single "Power"[00:50] The songwriting process behind "Power" and its message about personal energy[02:09] 37 years as a band and maintaining chemistry through every phase of life[03:30] The magic of still enjoying each other after decades together[04:50] What makes The Bouncing Souls emo?

Essentially the core of the song is about personal power, and everyone has that personal power. Sometimes it's hard to recognize the impact that your energy has in the world.""I'm so grateful now and we're having a great time. It's actually an amazing accomplishment that we still like each other honestly and enjoy being together. I think that's sort of part of the magic dust of the Bouncing Souls.""Good rock and roll and good music has emotion. In the 90s, when the word emo first came out, it was attributed to almost a completely different sounding style. Ten years later, everyone's like, 'they're emo now.' The definition of it is very loose. If you feel emotion, rock and roll music, whatever it is with guitars or without guitars, you feel emotion." JOIN THE CLUB!

"I have to psych myself up for it every f***ing show... what if somebody f**ing k*lls me? I have kids, you know what I mean?"At Riot Fest 2025, we caught up with Dan Campbell from The Wonder Years for an intimate conversation about the band's 20-year journey in the emo and pop-punk scene. Campbell reflects on the emotional weight behind their songwriting process, discussing how The Greatest Generation continues to resonate with fans years later. The conversation takes a powerful turn as Dan opens up about the very real consequences of the band's outspoken support for Palestine and trans rights - from death threats to lost opportunities - and why he continues to speak out despite the fear.

I'm afraid to do it.""At this point we are an older band in the world that we play in. And like my goal is to put people on." JOIN THE CLUB!

"Somebody had to f***ing do it" - The Paradox on being representation pioneers in the emo/pop-punk sceneAt Riot Fest 2025, we sat down with The Paradox, the rising pop-punk band that's redefining what representation looks like in alternative music. From their formation in July 2024 to landing a major tour with All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Four Year Strong, and The Cab, their journey has been nothing short of meteoric. The band gets real about being Black artists in a predominantly white genre, discussing how they're creating the representation they needed in high school. We explore their debut album NSFW, their influences ranging from Taking Back Sunday to Neck Deep, and why being "crybabies" who tell each other "I love you" is actually their greatest strength. This conversation bridges the classic emo era with today's scene, showing how The Paradox is both honoring the past and pushing the genre forward.Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction and the most emo songs they're listening to[01:06] What makes The Paradox so emo - embracing emotions as men[01:53] Discussion of their new album NSFW[02:38] Their first show at Concord and covering Taking Back Sunday[02:55] The band's meteoric rise since forming in 2024[03:15] Upcoming tour with All Time Low, Mayday Parade, and more[03:56] Small bands to watch: Custodians, Zealand, Super Sometimes, Barry Hendricks, Kawaii AF[04:40] Being Black artists in pop-punk and creating necessary representation[05:51] Where to find The Paradox and tour informationEpisode Highlights:"We're very emotional men... One thing I love about us is we're very in touch with our emotions. We tell each other we love each other, give each other hugs... little kiss goodnight.""With that, I think being able to have representation or give representation for people is awesome. Like one of my favorite comments is when people are like, 'Yo, I needed you guys in high school.'""There's not many of us, you know, and all we want to do is just create more of that." JOIN THE CLUB!

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.

If you look at their musical journey, it might appear that SoCal pop/punk/rapcore outfit Zebrahead have led somewhat of a charmed life. From their very inception through meeting at a practice room to playing to a handful of people, where 12 of them were scouting from record labels, a sceptical person could claim things have fallen into place for the band. But if you know the band and know their music, you would know that while luck - in any incarnation - is always welcome, there is one core ingredient of Zebrahead's collective musical psyche that has had more influence on their trajectory than anything else.Fun with a sense of humour. Listening to co-founding member and vocalist Ali Tabatabaee run through Zebrahead's history, the one common thread is their ability to laugh in the face of potential adversity and brush any setbacks off with a shrug of the shoulders and the knowledge of what to do better next time.Their musical style is offbeat and eclectic, mixing a fusion of pop/punk with hip hop and punk sensibilities to create an ever-evolving and expansive sonic universe that is as endless as it is unique. But there is one factor that has been essential to the continued growth of Zebrahead, and that is their live performances. Known and loved for their energetic output and on-stage banter, Zebrahead bridge the gap between intensity and frivolity with boundless energy, approaching each gig like a party with new best friends that just haven't been met yet.This October, after seven long years, Australian fans get to witness this first hand when Zebrahead make their triumphant return for five shows starting in Perth on October 7. Having heard the hype but never speaking with the band, HEAVY jumped at the chance to spend some quality time with Ali, and we're glad we did! We started by asking what has changed with Zebrahead in the seven years since their last visit."Man, I feel like the main thing is Adrian (Estrella) is in the band now," he replied. "He's the other vocalist. We haven't been back since before the pandemic, dude, so it's been a minute. We have released three EPs since then - III, II, I - with Adrian, and we're going to be playing some of those songs when we come over. But also when we're not touring, we've been working on new music. So we're excited to get back home after Australia and get into the studio and record the songs that we've been working on. So that's mainly it, man. And then once that's done, hopefully next summer, start touring again."Talk later turns to the early days of Zebrahead and the musical climate that spawned the band."Man, at that time, Orange County was kind of popping off," he recalled. "You know, we had bands like Offspring. We had bands like No Doubt that were doing really well, so the record labels were really focused on Orange County. We actually got very lucky because of that. Our first show we played this Christmas show, and it was just our girlfriends and the guy who ran the club who gave us the show. He'd never heard of us. He came in to get the money from the cash register or something, and he heard a song. Then after we were done, nobody was there. It was empty. And he goes, 'Hey, I have a friend who's a manager, and you guys are interesting because you have hip hop and punk and stuff. I kind of want him to come and watch you play. Is that something you'd be into?' And we're like, sure, of course, who's gonna say no?"In the full interview, Ali talks more about the Australian tour and what to expect, their energetic live shows and how they will translate to our crowds, having Thomas Nicolas Band as national support, plus the early days of Zebrahead and where they fit in.We talked about Zebrahead getting signed and how their career grew from there, the blending of genres in their music and how they came about, musical experimentalisation and how they regulate it, future music and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Ali WilliamsTeenage Joans members Tahlia Borg and Cahli Blakers took time out to chat with HEAVY about their new track, My Hearts Dead, and their current tour with Slowly Slowly.Hailing from Radelaide, Teenage Joans were winners of JJJs Unearthed High back in 2020, and since then they have flooded the air waves with a string of melanchol,y pretty punk rock hits. In their short time on stages, they have racked up some impressive achievements from playing the same stage with Foo Fighters to rocking it on the festival runs at Laneway, Good Things, Groovin the Moo, Unify and more.The girls are excited to be touring with fellow Aussies Slowly Slowly, being huge fans of the band themselves, and are looking forward to warming up the crowds for the shows. Their music resonates with fans as they aim to give their punters the full homegrown experience, being very hands-on with all they produce from their music to videos and even their merch. Not only do Teenage Joans enjoy the DIY aspect, they also feel that part is integral to their image and what they want to pass on to their audience to feel connected. Their most recent track was filmed and produced themselves, mainly due to a lack of funds after returning from a US tour, but that aside, they feel it matched well with the essence of the track and conveys synchronicity.Tahlia plays drums and vocals, and Cahli does vocals and guitar and plays bass in the studio, keeping true to their theme of being hands-on and independent artists. They've described their sound as being as if Blink-182 played Kesha, which is fairly accurate on all levels. The girls have also done a session of JJJs Like a Version where they wanted to cover a Kesha track that didn't make the cut, but was the drive and inspiration behind their latest song, My Hearts Dead, which is a compilation of who they are musically and personally.Being just schoolgirls when they started out, they talk about doing gigs on school nights, having their parents as roadies and manning the merch stands for them, saying it has helped them navigate growing up in the spotlight as young females in the music industry. They also discussed playing with their idols, new music, future direction and their hometown gig on October 31 plus more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

As with every other year, anticipation surrounding the first line-up announcement for Good Things 2025 was almost at a fever pitch. Social media experts and promoter wannabe's all shared their projected line-ups, but most were well off the mark.Good Things is possibly one of the hardest festival line ups armchair critics get to sink their teeth into, with the diversity and seemingly flippant mashing of genres meaning pretty much any band from any genre could make the final cut. And this year was no exception.When TOOL were announced as headliners, a large number of punters were already scrambling for tickets, but a quick scan through the rest of the line up proves the eclectic tastes of organisers and the variety of live music on show for fans of most persuasions.Rock? Tick. Weezer, Garbage.Pop Punk? Tick. All Time Low, New Found Glory.Punk? Tick. Refused.Metal? Big tick. Machine Head. Knocked Loose, Lorna Shore.But one of the best things about festivals like Good Things is the chance to come across bands you might never have otherwise heard of, and for many people, one of those bands this year will be American rock outfit Dead Poet Society, who are well known in most other parts of the world. HEAVY caught up with Jack and Dylan from the band to talk about their debut visit to Australia.The name Dead Poet Society may not mean all that much to Australian audiences just yet, but you can bet by the time Good Things 2025 has swept through the country, that equation will have changed drastically.Since forming after meeting while attending Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts in 2013, Dead Poet Society have elected to drive their journey on the hard road, starting off as an indie group before steadily making their way through the musical maze. Their hard work and dedication proved fruitful when, in 2018, Spotify editorial staff added the single American Blood to their playlists, after the band had built a strong organic following on social media and the streaming platforms. Josh Katz of the band Badflower, was one of their early fans, notably of their song CoDA, which he championed to his label Big Machine and others, resulting in interest from several labels, including Spinefarm, where they later signed and released their debut album -!- in 2021.Fast-forward four years and Dead Poet Society are currently touring North America alongside Chevelle and Asking Alexandria, with their flights already booked for Australia this December.HEAVY sat down with Jack and Dylan from the band to find out more about the band and their debut trip Down Under. As such, we ask what they are expecting from Australian crowds, warning them that we can get pretty rowdy."That's what I'm hoping for," Jack smiled. "I've heard you guys are wild, and we love a wild audience."On the flipside of that, we don't know what to expect from a Dead Poet Society live show, so we ask what a typical show from the band looks like."It's pretty high energy," Jack promised, "and sweaty. We try to redline ourself the entire set."In the full interview, Jack and Dylan talk more about Good Things Festival and who they are most looking forward to playing with, their first trip to this country and how they are approaching it, their thoughts on the diversity of this year's line-up and what it means to them to be a part of it.We talk about their formation at school and how it came about, planning their future and then working towards it, new music and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

As with every other year, anticipation surrounding the first line-up announcement for Good Things 2025 was almost at a fever pitch. Social media experts and promoter wannabe's all shared their projected line-ups, but most were well off the mark.Good Things is possibly one of the hardest festival line-ups armchair critics get to sink their teeth into, with the diversity and seemingly flippant mashing of genres meaning pretty much any band from any genre could make the final cut. And this year was no exception.When TOOL were announced as headliners, a large number of punters were already scrambling for tickets, but a quick scan through the rest of the line-up proves the eclectic tastes of organisers and the variety of live music on show for fans of most persuasions.Rock? Tick. Weezer, Garbage.Pop Punk? Tick. All Time Low, New Found Glory.Punk? Tick. Refused.Metal? Big tick. Machine Head. Knocked Loose, Lorna Shore.Amongst the impressive international bands on display is a large contingent of Australian bands who will be representing at Good Things. One of whom is Windwaker, who have just released the crushing new track Victory Lap. The Melbourne-based metalcore outfit are deservedly riding a tidal wave of success following the release of last year's genre-bending album Hyperviolence. The album catapulted the band into the ears of a global audience, in the process earning them a nomination at this year's APRA Awards alongside touring opportunities both local and abroad. The album - which was the first featuring Liam Guinane as lead vocalist - showcased the evolution within Windwaker's sound, tearing at the foundations of sonic tapestries to reveal a convoluted yet accessible underbelly that was as refreshing as it was unique.The flow on effect from that album has seen Windwaker lead the charge of Aussie acts at Good Things 2025, with Liam sitting down with HEAVY to go over a whirlwind last 18 months. The band have previously played festivals such as Download, UNIFY and Knight & Day, but we state the obvious by remarking that no matter how often it may happen, Liam would never get sick of seeing the name 'Windwaker' on the poster."No, I want to see it more often," he laughed. "I'm so stoked to be part of this line-up. We've played Good Things once before, but I think this is probably my favourite line-up of theirs put together. That's not just because I'm on it, I think it's just a great round of bands."We ask about the mentality backstage between Australian bands and their international counterparts, and if it ever seems like an 'us against them' type of situation."It can be," Liam laughed again. "It's case by case with every band. Some keep to themselves and do their own thing, while there's others that are very friendly and talk to you. It's always different. I think the artist area is where a lot of the mingling happens. When you're backstage, as such, everyone is acting like security guards for their gear (laughs), and they're just staunching everybody. For the most part, everyone is really nice, but you're right, the Aussies gravitate to the other Aussies. I guess it's just a bit of a natural thing that happens."In the full interview, Liam talks more about the eclectic assortment of artists and genres and why he prefers a festival like that rather than one with a more common mixing of genres. We talk about the high number of Australian bands playing and how it represents local music on a global stage, his tips for surviving Good Things, what songs from Windwaker to listen to in preparation for the show and what we can expect from their set.Talk turns to Windwaker's new single Victory Lap and it's sensational music video, whether it is a standalone single or part of a bigger picture, what direction future music may take and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Welcome back to *When Words Fail Music Speaks Podcast that battles depression with the healing power of music. In today's episode we're joined by rising indie rocker‑pop‑punk talent Zack King (yes, the one whose TikTok magic you love, now making waves with his own music).We kick off with a quick word from our sponsor, BetterHelp, reminding listeners that affordable, flexible online therapy is just a click away—plus a special 10 % discount for our audience.From there, host James “the professional handicapped” Cox dives into Zack's personal journey: why escaping Minnesota's bleak, long winters for Los Angeles's perpetual sunshine transformed his mental health, how a loyal dog and daily walks became his daily dose of vitamin D, and why that sunny vibe now powers his new album Text‑Way‑Into‑Your‑Heart (dropping September 12).Zack breaks down his genre‑spanning sound—rock, pop, and punk rolled into a fresh pop‑punk hybrid—while sharing his biggest musical influences, from Matchbox 20 to Paramore, and the role of writing, therapy, and honest lyricism in navigating anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.We also explore the modern music‑maker's toolkit: Zack's love‑hate relationship with AI, his DIY production experiments in Ableton, the grind of being an independent artist (merch, gigs, social media, and the relentless hustle of juggling day jobs), and why he's staying indie for now.Fans will hear Zack's favorite cover stories, his hot‑take on music legends (Creed over Nickelback, Metallica over Megadeth), and a rapid‑fire round of “hardest questions” that reveal his guilty‑pleasure tracks and secret inspirations.Finally, Zack teases upcoming tour plans on the West Coast, new merch drops, and where listeners can find his music, TikTok, Instagram, and more.Tune in for a raw, authentic conversation about creativity, mental health, and the relentless pursuit of a song that truly resonates—because when words fail, music speaks.

Frnd Crcl, pronounced "Friend Circle," is a band based in Vineland, NJ, steadily making a name for themselves in the pop punk scene. Formed in 2018, they began to turn heads with the release of their sophomore album, Internet Noise, which dropped during the chaotic year of 2020. Often compared to pop punk heavyweights like Blink-182 and Sum 41, FRND CRCL is now aiming to carve out their own unique identity with their upcoming release, JRSY FRSH, set to drop on May 30. Joining me on the podcast today is Zac Johnson of FRND CRCL. We dive into the band's journey—past, present, and future—and explore our perspectives on creativity in today's ever-evolving music industry.
