Podcasts about Riot Fest

The latest installment in our journey to discover America's best IPA, we're going coast-to-coast for a pretty special lineup that'll help us further define what makes an IPA both an "all star" and, uh, "very good." We're getting pretty good at this guessing thing, and we might have the first IPA in this series that loses points in the appearance category. Also, we are pushing hard for an all Pure Moods stage at Riot Fest, we are haunted by that ridiculous thumb, and we want to know if a slice from Sbarro will fit in a Jnco jean pocket.   Beers Reviewed Blindly   Russian River Brewing - Blind Pig Goose Island Beer Co. - IPA The Alchemist - Focal Banger Lawson's Finest Liquids - Sip of Sunshine Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. - Celebration  

I'm reposting episodes that were taken down from Spotify. This is a repost of the 2024 conversation. Keith sits down with Ryan Key to discuss growing up in Jacksonville, early music influences, leaving college and his hometown to pursue music, joining Yellowcard, the early days of the band, signing with Capitol records and their rise after the release of Ocean Avenue. We also discuss some of the difficulties Ryan and the band have faced over the years, the initial end of Yellowcard in 2017, Ryan's side project Jedha and the scoring work he does for film, becoming a new father, the newly reformed Yellowcard which began after their Riot Fest performance in 2022, Yellowcard's new collaboration LP with Hammock "A Hopeful Sign", what's next for the band and more.

In this episode Andy gets to chat with one of his heroes, Travie McCoy. They chat about Gym Class Heroes, Riot Fest, Andy's time working at Fueled by Ramen, and Travie's deal with Hopeless Records. Andy and Travie swap Berlin arrest stories. Then the conversation takes an initimate turn, as Travie discusses his history with drug addiction and bi-polar disorder. This was a really fascinating and fun interview and we hope you enjoy it!

Nick welcomes music journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com back to the show for a deep dive into music, madness, and metal. They preview this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and trade stories from Jim's recent interviews with legends like Rob Halford of Judas Priest — including Halford's hilarious tale about the best massage he's ever had in Chicago's Boys Town — plus Marky Ramone, Emo Phillips, and the chaotic geniuses of GWAR. Jim also recaps Riot Fest, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, and more, while he and Nick swap some wild and heartfelt Shane MacGowan memories. Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to break down Hollywood's strangest casting choices, from Angelina Jolie somehow playing Colin Farrell's mother to Tom Cruise trying to fill the massive boots of Jack Reacher. Turns out, suspension of disbelief only stretches so far. [Ep 396]

Ryan Francis performs under the name "Huge Huge" (@hugeeugeofficial), was in cult-favorite indie horror movie ThanksKilling, and is (dubbed by me) a real good liver of life!  Ryan's back on the show this week for a proper catch up and my goodness does it not dissapoint.  If you're a longtime listener of this show, you'll know that one, Ryan is a past guest of the show with his first appearance being back on episode 41 and that in itself is worth going back and listening to if you haven't. It's one of my favorite conversations. So, I say, if you're an avid listener, there's a chance you'll know how much I appreciate the conversation I had with Ryan. For many reasons I could list again, mainly covering how the conversation was filled with a lot of very fun stories and reminders to just live life and let yourself experience things, and this episode, is such a great follow up to that. So while Ryan shares many new fun stories of what he's been up to with his music project Huge Euge, the crazy story of playing Riot Fest, and a lot of other fun stuff I've come to expect from him, he actually also opens up about grief and processing the loss of his mom. I'm incredibly thankful for Ryan being as open as he is in this conversation and I just can't say how much I appreciate him sharing all the highs and the deepest of lows in this one. And for all of that, it's a really great conversation that I'm very excited to share with you guys.

When I discovered that Weird Al was actually on the bill at the most eclectic festival lineup I'd ever seen ("I can see Agnostic Front and Weird Al on the same day?!?" was my initial response) I had to drop "Start a Pac-Man-related cult" from my bucket list to make room for "participate in a Weird Al pit."* This has been one of many situational exceptions I've had to make to my well-documented "Too Old For The Pit" rule. I made perhaps too many exceptions during the weekend of Riot Fest, as my ribs remain bruised (presumably from Sunday's Screeching Weasel prancings,) but I appear to have survived. Highlights that I was unable to fit into the song: 1. A dude dressed as a banana in said pit 2. A dude dressed as Jesus in said pit (I told him "Hey! I read your book!") 3. Moshing to "Ricky." Seriously. "Ricky." 4. Watching Steve Jay and Jim West occasionally take photos of said pit 5. Watching a dude on the edge of said pit explain to his teenaged daughter the cardinal rule of "someone goes down, you help them up." Felt that in my soul. Special thanks to Al, whose birthday is next week. And also to my wife, for encouraging me to go to this thing. And to MC Lars for absolving me of the inadvertent theft of his "damn, son" bit. And to Dr. Demento for the years upon years of support...it just hit me that this is the first song I've ever released that has NO chance whatsoever of being played on the Dr. Demento show. But damned if he didn't end the show strong as hell, and on his own terms. (Barry, if you're reading this, all the best in your retirement.) * Apologies to anyone who has already converted their worldly posessions to tokens in anticipation of said cult. No refunds.

The strangest video ever, Germans targeting racoons, John Stamos at RiotFest, Carmen Fanzone at the Tonight Show, your favorite Beatle, a 3-year-old's movie review, and the answer to the question of how conjoined twins handle it when one of them marries are among the minutiae topics discussed on this special encore presentation by Rick and Dave. [Ep407]

The world is a dumpster fire, confirmed. Following California's landmark AI safety bill SB 53, the head of Nvidia is allegedly "quaking in his boots"—which is a good sign, unlike the news that the "Nirvana Baby" Spencer Elden's lawsuit was finally dismissed. Meanwhile, corporate America continues its pivot to chaos: Spotify shuffled its execs, Meta is charging UK users for ad-free Facebook and Instagram, and the UK is introducing digital ID cards (Hello, Mark of the Beast). The entire internet is now dominated by bots, proving the Cracker Barrel logo outrage was manufactured, a fact that's somehow less depressing than the FCC accidentally leaking iPhone schematics. Naturally, Alphabet just paid $22 million to settle President Trump's YouTube lawsuit, confirming that legal threats are the new VC funding. Disney is panicking over an "AI Actress," sending cease and desist letters to Character.AI, while OpenAI rolls out its new Sora app and ChatGPT's ability to buy things for you, proving it's determined to turn the internet into one seamless, copyright-infringing shopping mall, and it's now worth more than Elon Musk's SpaceX.The ensuing boredom demands new media, though the pacing is terrible in everything: Slow Horses Season 5 and Human: Neanderthal Encounters are great, but even the original Matrix and Frankenstein trailer (by Guillermo del Toro) feel slow, confirming the Princess Bride litmus test. MXV's Riot Fest photos were rad, and Disney lost 1.7M subs after suspending Kimmel, which is why YouTube Music is testing AI hosts (who will only be wrong), and the Pivot Tour is happening. Our Apps & Doohickeys department confirms security is an afterthought: macOS 26 unlocked the Journal app, but the smart glasses race is fully on, and Logitech's new keyboard can be recharged by any light (finally, tech that works!). Amazon Fire TV is expected to ditch Android for Linux, Meta introduced the AI-filled Vibes feed, and Tile trackers were found to have a stalking flaw—a fact only slightly more depressing than the swift failure of the Neon call-recording app and the continued existence of the Comet browser. Finally, The Dark Side with Dave celebrated the low-budget charm of Blue Thunder and the necessity of Disney Park Ride Overlays, while Dave embarked on his quest to unbox the Home Depot R2D2.

"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? Genre evolution and emotional authenticity[06:10] Growing up in the first wave alongside Lifetime and the New Jersey scene[06:42] Current tour with Jer and upcoming East Coast datesEpisode Highlights:"We mixed it up in the blender. 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!

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.

Well, there was no doubt who the most anticipated band was at Louder Than Life thanks to the Louder Than Life app. According to Blunt Magazine, over 21,000 people had added the band's Friday (Sept. 19) performance to their weekend Louder Than Life schedule ahead of the music weekend. By comparison, only 11,000 has scheduled themselves to see Slayer, 17,000 were up for Deftones and 17,000-plus were reminding themselves to check out Bring Me the Horizon. The band's set was pretty standard to what they have been playing at past shows. However, one interesting moment came during their final song of their 12-song performance. The Louder Than Life set reportedly was the first time lead singer Vessel had played guitar on "Thread the Needle."(Loudwire) Hosted by:Luke = https://bsky.app/profile/rockednet.bsky.socialAlex = https://bsky.app/profile/voiceofalex.bsky.socialRowan = https://bsky.app/profile/rowbuck01.bsky.social SLEEP TOKEN Crowd Surfers Intentionally Dropped | The Podcast That Rocked

Today's Talkhouse Podcast features a pair of guys who've been making records for a long time and still manage to keep things not just interesting, but awesome: Mac McCaughan and Eric Johnson. Mac is the co-founder of legendary indie label Merge Records as well as the singer and guitarist for the band Superchunk, which has been making great, great records for about 35 years now, though they did take a bit of a break in the early aughts, which Mac mentions in this chat. Since reigniting around 2010, Superchunk has released five solid records that both reflect their maturity and bring the punk-rock energy. The latest just came out, and it's called Songs in the Key of Yikes. It's their first with new drummer Laura King, and you can catch Superchunk this weekend at Riot Fest in Chicago and then on a West Coast tour that starts October 9 at Pappy & Harriet's in the California desert. Check out “Is It Making You Feel Something” from Songs in the Key of Yikes right here. The other half of today's chat is Eric D. Johnson, who's both one-third of Bonny Light Horseman and the only constant member of Fruit Bats, the name under which he's been recording his smart, often gentle songs since around 2001. The newest Fruit Bats record, Baby Man, just came out on Merge, and it's an absolutely stripped-to-the-bone affair, with Johnson's voice even more front and center than usual. He lays it all out there and it's easy to get sucked in by his words and lovely melodies. He'll be touring all over in October, doing it “an evening with Fruit Bats” style. Check out “Let You People Down,” a song that comes up in this conversation, right here. In this easygoing chat, Eric and Mac talk about their long histories, from Eric's time in the Shins and I, Rowboat to Superchunk's not-that-fun stint opening for Teenage Fanclub. They also use some baseball analogies to talk about sequencing an album, and they commiserate about being dudes with unusually high singing voices. Enjoy.

This week, Features contributor Liz Mason speaks with Mike Odd, manager of Drive Thru Metal group Mac Sabbath, based in Los Angeles but born from the bowels of Outer Space. They discuss the honor of playing the Weird Al stage at this year's upcoming Riot Fest, transcending the "parody band" label, how drive thru metal is intended to keep you away from the drive thru, and their serious merch game. "So if you think that you're experiencing it by watching a video on YouTube or something, I got to tell you that every single person that I've ever talked to that's seen it for the first time, whether it be an agent or a club owner or a fan, they've all said, 'oh, I thought I knew what it was, but I had no idea it was going to be like this.'" - Mike Odd on Mac Sabbath's theatrical live performances Mac Sabbath will be playing the Weird Al stage at Riot Fest on Friday, September 19th, and Reggie's on Thursday, September 18th.
