Denver, Colorado punk collective Dead Pioneers return with their fierce third studio album, Wagon Burner. Set for release on 26 June 2026 via Hassle Records, the project builds upon the momentum of their 2023 self-titled debut and 2025's acclaimed PO$T AMERICAN. Fronted by Indigenous visual performance artist and activist Gregg Deal, Dead Pioneers' continue to blend the raw fury of hardcore punk with biting spoken-word commentary, channelling the contemporary Indigenous experience, historical trauma, and political resistance.While their previous work relied heavily on targeted individual statements, Wagon Burner represents a more unified, collaborative writing effort by the full band. Musically, it is their heaviest and hardest record to date, yet it remains intensely accessible, striking a delicate balance between abrasive noise-punk melee and viciously catchy hooks.HEAVY caught up with Deal to find out more, asking him how he is feeling about the album close to release date."Honestly, there's a lot of emotions," he measured. "I kind of go through peaks and valleys. I'm excited about it, and then I'm not sure. We do these releases, and sometimes they do really well. And sometimes they're not doing as well as I'd like, and so it gets in my head. I'm excited about it, but it's been a bit of a mind F."Spoken word and narrative pieces play a major role in the feel and message of the album, with Deal agreeing that there was much thought put into getting even the smallest of details correct."Yeah, I think so," he nodded. "We actually recorded so much that we have enough for another half a record. We have enough for like an EP, and so we're trying to pick and choose. We want a narrative and a sound that can live in that space. We came into this record trying to be as articulate as possible, but also not pulling any punches from everything that has been happening, everything that is happening in the United States.And so it is meant to be political, social and cultural. We're trying to find a medium in there with that, because it's a lot of heavy stuff. So the humour that has existed in other places is a little bit more subtle on this one, but it's still there. We definitely are trying to curate something that makes sense audibly and in the information that exists lyrically."In the full interview, Gregg talks more about the musical side of Wagon Burner and how it differs to Dead Pioneers' first two albums. We run through the themes that permeate through the album and their connection to Gregg personally.The constant battle against oppression in all forms is discussed, along with the impact bands such as Dead Pioneers have on the global landscape through their music. Gregg ran us through some of the spoken word pieces and elaborated on their meaning, diving deeper into the guest artists and why they were chosen.Gregg also detailed the genesis of the band and how it has evolved over the years, plus more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

On November 21, 1915, the hope of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his twenty-seven crew members sank, along with their ship Endurance, into the dark below the Antarctic ice. They were stranded, thousands of miles from home. Later, the crew shared several things that aided their survival, including a banjo. Embarking on their brutal trek, Leonard Hussey (the expedition’s meteorologist) was the only person allowed more than two pounds of personal gear. He was allowed to bring his twelve-pound Windsor banjo. “It’s vital mental medicine,” Shackleton told Hussey, “and we shall need it.” The crew’s journals explained the power of Hussey’s music. “The banjo does . . . supply brain food,” wrote one sailor. Another reflected on “Hussey’s indispensable banjo.” The Bible presents music as one of God’s immense gifts, a way His healing and comfort enter the human heart. In the tragic story of King Saul, we hear how (due to his disobedience) he was oppressed by an “evil spirit” (1 Samuel 16:14). And what did Saul’s attendants believe the king needed to provide relief? Music. So, they found young David with his harp. “David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him” (v. 23). Music offers more than mere entertainment. It can bring joy, renew hope, and comfort weary souls. It’s truly one of God’s powerful gifts.

In this panel during the international symposium "Can beauty save the world?" held at McGill University, Oct 24-25 2025, Jean-Sébastien Vallée (McGill), Katie Bank (Birmingham), Rebekah Wallace (Oxford), Ian Corbin (Harvard), and Jonathan Berger (Stanford) explored the transformative power of music. The panel was moderated by Stephen Bullivant (St. Mary's London). We began with a performance by an acapella quartet from the Schulich School of Music (McGill).Jean-Sébastien described the conductor's task as creating a sonic space where sound becomes meaning—a community where difference becomes harmony. One of his singers, who had just lost her husband, came to perform because “singing with my choir is the only way I can breathe right now.” Katie and Rebekah described how early modern thinkers saw music as acting on the whole person, not as external stimulus but as an activity of the soul. Ian reflected on the relevance of music to our longing for wholeness, which passes through failure, undoing, despondence. Jonathan discussed his fascinating research on the sonic signatures of sacred spaces, and how the balance between clarity and blur in sound transforms acoustics into awe.The event was sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation.Learn more at www.canbeautysavetheworld.com and www.beautyatwork.net#beauty #music #transformation #philosophy #musicology #spiritualitySupport the show

“I mean, you know how it was with Michael. And when I heard that phrase, it was just... He saved my life. Like, what? He just sung a song, right? Like, but, you know, take probably one of my favorites, ‘Man in the Mirror.' Man, it still gets me. So, just from an experience standpoint, and I've done some travels in mental health and, you know, talking to people, I do understand how important music, or how powerful I should say, music is. So it absolutely feels like that being a musician, and then, I think, if you're a musician in church, it's… I've had some moments, Jodi.” – Jastin ArtisThis episode's guest is a multi-faceted artist, producer, engineer, and indie A&R who bridges creativity with leadership.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) - How Sound Shapes Our EmotionsAs we start things off, Jastin tells us about his early musical influences, from Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin to growing up with Michael Jackson on the radio. “I would say I was probably four or five,” he recalls. “It was when the movie came out, Moonwalker, and I used to go to my mom's friend's house who was in the neighborhood every day after school and watch that movie.” We talk about the power of sound and music, and how easy it is to lose touch with our musical side as adults. “Everybody who has a guitar that's for decoration, that's sitting there,” he says. “I'm telling you, please pick it up. Play it while you're watching your favorite show, whatever. That little time adds up.”(10:45) – Harnessing the Power of MusicOur conversation focuses on the healing power of sound, and the impact it's made on Jastin's own life. “If it weren't for music,” he tells us, “I don't think I would be here… if I didn't have access to these records, if I didn't have that, just, I don't think I would be the man that I am.” He shares his perspective as producer and A&R executive, and how hard it can be to shake off that perspective sometimes when it comes to just sitting back and enjoying music. “I'm listening and I'm like, wait a minute,” he says, “what did they do, know what I mean? And then other times you're just, let me just chill.”(18:30) - The Intersection of Sound and BrandingAs the first half of our conversation wraps up, Jastin tells us more about his A&R work and what it's taught him about the sound...

Some stories are too powerful to hear just once. In this encore presentation of one of our most beloved episodes, Lynn Hoffman sits down with Jennie Smythe — entrepreneur, author, and founder of Girlilla Marketing — for a conversation that left listeners asking for more. This is a story of resilience, leadership and inspiration that is the essence of the Music Saved Me podcast. Jennie Smythe opens up about the moments in her life when music did what nothing else could — carried her through doubt, loss, and transformation, and helped shape the woman and the business leader she would become. It’s the kind of raw, honest storytelling that defines Music Saved Me at its best. Jennie Smythe is also the author of Becoming Girlilla, her inspiring book about building a bold life and a thriving business on your own terms. If you haven’t read it, this episode will make you want to. Jennie is one of the important leaders of the nashville music community. Whether you’re hearing Jennie’s story for the first time or coming back because it moved you the first time around, this is an episode that reminds us why music — and the right words at the right moment — can change everything.

Music is medicine. It has the power to heal us. And today's guest knows it's something we can self-prescribe, for free, whenever we want to benefit. Dr Daniel Levitin is a neuroscientist, cognitive psychologist and bestselling author. He's also a former record producer and an accomplished musician who's brought all those skills together in his latest book, Music As Medicine: How We Can Harness Its Therapeutic Power. As soon as I heard about it, I had to ask Dan onto the podcast to share his wisdom. As a lifelong musician and music fan, I know certain tracks change how I feel. But talking to Dan has opened my mind to just how profound an effect music has on the brain. It doesn't just shift our mood, it can affect our entire physiology. Dan has spent decades studying this, advising the US Government and working with the National Institutes of Health, to the point where his research is now influencing global health policy. We've all experienced the health-giving power of music, perhaps without realising. Now with that knowledge, and Dan's insights, we can start to put it to therapeutic use. Here's what fascinates me the most: music doesn't just hit one part of your brain. Different types activate different regions, in much the same way as certain medications work. And Dan shares some astounding examples of this – from the people with Parkinson's who relearn to walk, to the marathon runners who don't feel pain, to the Alzheimer's patients who can't recognise loved ones, but can recall how to play an instrument perfectly. The brain regions that process music are deeper, older and more protected. It's why music communicates emotion in ways that words can't always match. Throughout our conversation, Dan makes this case that music is our birthright. And it can flood us with feelgood, bonding hormones. So it's a tool we can turn to for overcoming trauma, processing difficult feelings, or connecting with others. But he doesn't just want us to listen. Playing an instrument, singing and songwriting all do more than you might expect – and you don't need to be an expert. The next time I'm strumming my guitar, I won't just think of it as a hobby. I'll know I'm doing something profoundly important for my health. And you can too. Whether it's learning an instrument, having a family singalong in the car, or simply switching on the radio, I'm not sure there's a simpler, more effective way to feel better.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

For roughly half a century, the singer Rubén Blades has been spreading the gospel of salsa music to every corner of the globe. “You could say that Blades did for salsa what Bob Marley did for reggae,” says The New Yorker's Graciela Mochkofsky. “He brought it into the global consciousness.” This year, Blades's record “Fotografías” is up for a Grammy Award; should he win, it would be his thirteenth. Blades once ran for President of Panama and later served in the country's cabinet; he's also notable for bringing social commentary to the dance floor, from his earliest work to the recent “Inmigrantes,” a song about the impact of the climate crisis on refugees. And yet, he tells Mochkovsky, songwriters should beware of political messages. “Political songs are propaganda by definition. If you start singing about political ideology, you're not an artist—you're doing propaganda, basically. I try to be as close to a newspaper [reporter] as I can.”This segment originally aired on October 6, 2023.New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

How is music a pathway to understanding animals?Musician Plumes‍ takes his guitar to the world's most unlikely concert halls—farms, sanctuaries, and wild habitats. A passionate advocate for veganism and animal welfare, we discuss what animals hear, how trust forms, and what music can reveal when it enters a world not made for humans alone.“Mostly I'll play in a minor key, something sad, which I think can work for an animal because they can sense the sadness, and they try to reassure me and comfort me. I chose love songs because I'm convinced they are very intuitive and they can sense what I am trying to say to them, and profess my love in a way. I think there's always a way to connect, and if you're being cautious and don't threaten the animals, something beautiful can happen.”Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast
