"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. We also explore the band's upcoming No Closer to Heaven remix, their fall arena tour with A Day to Remember and Yellowcard, and Campbell's touching tribute to late booking agent Dave Shapiro through Kevin Devine's cover of "Whole of the Moon."Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:00] Most emo song Dan's listening to - Kevin Devine's "Whole of the Moon" tribute[01:25] What makes The Wonder Years so emo - honesty and self-understanding through songwriting[01:56] The Greatest Generation's lasting impact and ranking Wonder Years albums[02:44] No Closer to Heaven remix announcement - game-changing for the album[03:36] Free Palestine and trans rights speech - the fear and consequences[05:41] Warped Tour main stage activism and community support[06:05] Building community and putting newer bands on[06:28] Fall arena tour with A Day to Remember and YellowcardEpisode Highlights:"I just write... to try to better understand myself.

Interview by Kris PetersSydney-based post hardcore four-piece Closure continue their impressive momentum in 2025 after the release of their long-anticipated debut EP, The Sweet Suffering, which is out now on all major streaming platforms. The record includes the previously released singles Hindsight, Glare, and A Cold Space Between, each showcasing the band's evolution into a darker, heavier sonic identity. A deeply personal and hard-hitting project, The Sweet Suffering chronicles emotional resilience, anxiety, the art of letting go, and love. For Closure, this release is more than just a debut — it's a defining moment and the beginning of a powerful new chapter.Riding the momentum of that release, Closure have recently been announced as part of the annual music extravaganza BigSound, which will again be held in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley from September 2 to 5. HEAVY caught up with Closure vocalist Lucy May to discuss BigSound and how Closure got to be there.We also asked her what Closure hopes to get out of the experience."I think just a new experience, definitely," she measured, "and hopefully meeting some people that we haven't had the opportunity to meet before. I feel like, being in a heavier band it's obviously a really tight-knit community, so I think meeting other people obviously… we're self-managed at the moment so we don't have a manager, so I think that would be really something that would be a massive thing if we could maybe connect with some people and have a conversation about that, but honestly just getting out there and supporting people."In the full interview, the discussion covered the musical evolution of Closure from pop punk to post-hardcore, including their debut EP The Sweet Suffering and the DIY production approach for their latest release. We also talked about upcoming performances, networking opportunities at music events, and the importance of strategic industry connections, while Lucy shared insights about their venue plans and plans for future releases and tours.We spoke about the stylistic changes within their music and how they plan to integrate new music into future setlists, the importance of BigSound to emerging Australian artists and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

We continue to tick off the bucket list, player by player. In the wake of a trip to Minneapolis for the Caterwaul Festival, we chat with Minnesota's favorite son, Greg Norton - who filled his time in-between Hüskers tours as a chef, eventually opening an eponymous restaurant.

Send us a textSt. Louis-based metalcore act dead7 is poised to break through in a major way with the release of their highly anticipated debut album, LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE, arriving July 11, 2025 via SharpTone Records. Known for their emotionally charged blend of heavy grooves, ambient textures, and bold vulnerability, the five-piece continues to turn heads with a sound that fuses brutal honesty and melodic hooks in equal measure.Composed of Jason Kozik (vocals), Dexter Greer (guitar), Tim Quinn (guitar), Stephen Salyer (bass), and Zach Guinn (drums), dead7 crafts music that leans into both atmospheric metal and alternative rock, while unafraid to explore the depths of love, loss, and internal conflict. Their debut album captures that duality perfectly—one moment it's a crushing wall of sound, the next a moment of haunting introspection.“We keep people guessing,” frontman Jason Kozik shared. “The new material is heavy, but we emphasized the hooks. We tried to make sure our songs resonate. In terms of the content, we focused on love, relationships, and things that are often tough to say.”After gaining traction through powerful singles like “tape mouth” and “heaven only knows” (featuring Nathan Johnson of Fox Lake), dead7 began to find their footing on the live circuit, including festival slots at POINTFEST alongside acts like Bad Omens, The Pretty Reckless, and Coheed and Cambria. The momentum caught the attention of SharpTone Records, who signed the band in late 2024.Heading back into the studio with trusted collaborators Caleb Freihaut and Ben McGuiness, dead7 shaped a record that reflects not only their evolution as a band but their refusal to be boxed in. Touchstones like Loathe, Bring Me The Horizon, and Three Days Grace inspire the record's push-and-pull between chaotic energy and accessible melody.Tracks like “BLUR” showcase that duality immediately, with its vocoder-drenched verses giving way to explosive choruses. “It incorporates a lot of what dead7 is,” Kozik explained. “Lyrically, it's a view of trying to navigate life with everything going on... in our relationships, in our families, and in ourselves. It feels like a blur, and you're trying to survive.”Other album standouts include “HOLE,” a raw depiction of tension in a fractured relationship, and “PLEASE,” a cheeky-yet-intense track featuring Marcus Vik, where soaring melodies meet lusty lyricism and thunderous riffs. Kozik remarked, “We were making a joke about being kind of horny, and we tried to encapsulate it… It has www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Sunburnt is a high energy trio that does their best to inject a little sunshine into everyday life's ups and downs. Embracing the spirit of Southern California's pop, alternative, hardcore, and pop punk traditions, SUNBURNT fuses these influences into a tidy and modern package. Justin, Will, and Alex have all played in various bands for over 15 years and decided after the pandemic that they still had things to say. The band shuns the shiny themes of modern pop music for a real and personal approach to adult life. SUNBURNT is bringing the heat with no patience for the fake. They take concept in name as a metaphor for working a long day in the sun, comparatively; to spending days on the road, nights in cramped venues, and a lifetime creating music. To them, SUNBURNT is a badge of honor and a culmination of an adolescence hard at work to find their own sound.

Josh, aka “isitjosh”, is an independent artist blending pop-punk, alternative rock, and pop, drawing inspiration from the music that surrounded him growing up.

Josh has built his new audience from the ground floor, with over 1 million streams and landing on 10,000+ user playlists through grassroots support and social media alone.
