Interview by Kris PetersPromises are made and broken every day in the music industry, especially when it comes to comments made from stage in the heat of the moment and on the crest of emotion. Promises such as "we will be back REAL soon" are said so often that they mostly pass by unnoticed by fans, who have grown accustomed to living in the moment and not in the future where such remarks are directed.But when a band actually delivers on these promises - not once, but twice - then the shockwaves that resonate could cripple a small country.Which is why, when Don Broco promised on their last Australian tour that they would start their next World Tour in this country, most fans had forgotten the remark as soon as the next day. When they also promised to play Perth and Adelaide, both of which were excluded in the last tour itinerary, the collective sighs of 'yeah, sure' were barely muttered because, let's face it, such promises are made and broken by more than 50% of the bands who tour here.But not Don Broco. These guys are still old school. From the times when a promise meant something, so, true to their word, Don Broco are kicking off their next World Tour in Australia starting on September 4. AND Perth plus Adelaide are both part of the schedule. Who says you can't trust a muso?After spending a large amount of time on the road around the time they were out here last, Don Broco have been more focused on completing their fifth album of late, bunkering down and fine-tuning the next batch of songs to expand their impressive catalogue. But ever since their recent performance at Download 2025, the tour itches have returned, enticing Don Broco back to where they thrive best.The stage.With the tour only being announced earlier today, HEAVY caught up with vocalist Rob Damiani to find out more."We're heading back to Australia very soon indeed," he affirmed. "It's going to be the first tour back touring this new material. We've been working on a new album for the last year and a bit now, and it's very, very close to being finished. This will be the first time we actually get back on the road and play any of this new stuff. It's also the first time we've been on the road for a year and a half, so we're excited.""We've been lucky enough to come to Australia now once every album," he continued. "The times we had on the last record, and the shows we did, were just so good. And the energy out there is so insane. We didn't want to leave it a whole nother album, where you're maybe doing it towards the tail end. So even though I think that not all the record will be out, it will be a load of the new material - probably all of the singles - but not the full record. That's what we're here to do; that's when we feel most alive as a band, when we're performing to people and getting that connection."In the full interview, Rob talked more about the upcoming tour and what to expect, keeping his promises, how much planning and practice goes into a Don Broco live show, the new album and what to expect, what makes a gig even more memorable for him, their 2023 shows at The Royal Albert Hall with an orchestra and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Welcome everyone to the Ian Hates Warped Tour Conversations! I know it's not summer anymore and that means the touring Warped Tour has ended (perhaps forever), but hey, it takes a while to get these episodes out, haha. Also, why put out Warped Tour material when everyone else was doing it at the same time? Not talking about Warped Tour all the time helps you miss it! Distance makes the heart grow stronger or something else emo like that...Anyway, Ian loves Warped Tour and this was the first year he was able to do in-person Warped Tour interviews! All interviews took place at the Mansfield date of Warped Tour on July 27th at the Xfinity Center. Ian was also not told what interviews he had until he showed up at the venue. That brought a lot of excitement, haha. For more information, you can listen to the Ian Hates Warped Tour Recap Special. But, to be brief, festival interviews are much different than what Ian normally does on Ian Hates Conversations. Everyone is put in one room. Everyone is talking at the same time. You're in a rush, both interviewer and band because you have a time limit and set times to get to. AND, there are bands playing right outside the room! Haha. The only reason you need to know all this is to, of course, set the mood, but also so you realize why these are live, raw, and unedited! The eighth conversation of the day was Rob Damiani of Don Broco!Check the interview out and make sure to support Rob and Don Broco by following the links below:Don Broco - WebsiteDon Broco - FacebookDon Broco - InstagramDon Broco - TwitterDon Broco - SpotifyDon Broco - Apple MusicMany thanks to Rob for taking the time out from the busy and tiring Warped Tour schedule to be on Ian Hates Warped Tour Conversations!

This is the first of three episodes with interviews recorded from the Detroit stop of the Van’s Warped Tour. We have a double header with first, an interview with the London-based singer/songwriter Tatiana DeMaria (of the band TAT), and then we get to Rob Damiani, lead singer of the British rock band Don Broco. Tatiana DeMaria is currently rolling out her own solo material, so we talk about her decision to release music outside of her band TAT, growing up making music, along with the influence that London has on her music, having fun with music, talking with her fans, being a role model, her experience on Warped Tour, and much more. Don Broco is currently touring off the release of their latest album Technology, an album that showed great growth from the band. In talking with Rob Damiani, we discuss how the band balances humor with serious subject manner, being on Warped Tour, the roll out of their new album Technology, and the beginnings of Don Broco. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/freshistheword/message
This is episode 07 of the Rock Sound Podcast! This week Rob Damiani from Don Broco tells all about their new album, while ROAM's Alex Adam talks his band's new album 'Great Heights & Nosedives' and LOADS more!
On this episode, Bobby D from Don Broco finally hops on the podcast! He was my first interview that I did with AbsolutePunk (back in January 2012!) and it feels wild that more than 5 years later, we're both still at it, having a blast. We sat down in the band's sprinter to talk about just about everything: touring in the States for the first time (vs. just visiting), signing to Sharptone Records, and what the band's upcoming third record will sound like. @RobDamiani (Twitter/IG) @DonBroco (Twitter/IG) @Jake_Denning (Twitter)/@JakeDenning (IG) Be sure to SUBSCRIBE and leave a 5-star rating and review via iTunes.
