She also opens up about finally embracing writing love songs after avoiding them for over a decade, how “Velcro” became one of her favorite songs they've ever written, and what success looks like after years of making music for a living. Plus, we get into Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Australian horror movies, her least favorite Stand Atlantic song to play live, and the important question of whether Australia is actually the furthest place on Earth.

We also get into the band's massive Sweet, Sad, Sugar trilogy, the challenge of writing a Warped Tour setlist after 20 years of music, the heavier bands Derek wishes Mayday Parade could tour with, his hilariously named first bands, and whether making music still feels the same after all these years. Plus, the Warped Tour crowd gets to ask Derek a few questions of their own. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In her 25 years as a music journalist, Jessica Hopper has profiled the doyennes of modern rock and pop music: Björk, Kacey Musgraves, St. Vincent, Liz Phair, Robyn, and many more. Her reviews run the gamut from the latest Nicki Minaj album and the “mobile shopping mall that is the Vans Warped Tour” to the only album by D.C.'s first all-women punk band, released three decades after they broke up. The new second edition of The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic expands on the 2015 one. That the provocative (and mostly accurate) title still works six years later points out that rock criticism has even fewer women in it than rock music does. Hopper joins us on the podcast to discuss her writing, from her beginnings as a local Chicago critic to her expansive oral histories of Hole and the women who transformed Rolling Stone in the 1970s.

On this episode of The Rumors Are True, we welcome Ryan Dominguez from the band Tokyo Rose. Ryan joins us for a conversation about the formation of Tokyo Rose, the New Jersey emo and pop-punk scene of the early 2000s, and the journey that led the band from local shows to national tours, the Vans Warped Tour, and the release of beloved albums including Reinventing a Lost Art, New American Saint, and The Promise in Compromise. We also dive into the stories behind the albums, discussing the producers the band worked with, how those collaborations helped shape Tokyo Rose's signature sound, and the creative thought that went into each record. Ryan also shares memories about the album artwork, the inspiration behind the visual direction of the releases, and how the imagery became an important part of the band's identity. In addition, we discuss the band's long hiatus, what inspired their return, the excitement of writing and releasing new music again, the remastered anniversary edition of New American Saint, and how it feels to reconnect with longtime fans while introducing Tokyo Rose to a new generation. Ryan shares stories from the road, the creative process behind the band's music, lessons learned over the years, and what's next for Tokyo Rose as they continue this exciting new chapter. If you grew up on early-2000s emo and pop-punk, or you're discovering Tokyo Rose for the first time, you won't want to miss this conversation. Thanks for listening to The Rumors Are True!

"When I'm writing...It's so detached. You can be wrong for an hour, and you can close your eyes and think for an hour, and it's for you to think of what's good. If I spent that hour thinking about what someone else might think about that thing, that's a wasted hour." This week, Brian and Lizzie are catch-up after Vans Warped Tour in Washington, D.C. and release the final interview from the fest with the alt-act, The Wrecks.  The Wrecks for a candid, chaotic, and laugh-out-loud conversation on our signature red couch. From a heated debate over whether Limp Bizkit qualifies as "emo" to deep-dives into their musical evolution, this interview covers it all. The band gets real about their songwriting process, their favorite touring memories, and the absolute reality of navigating the current music landscape.  "All these bands and artists who have way more than us—way more followers, way more monthly listeners—are selling 50 tickets or canceling their tour because it's not selling. And we go out there and we fucking rip and our fans are there, and they're screaming every word... It's fucking awesome." "I feel like I got into the scene—I'd show up in my skinny jeans, my studded belt, my purple and black striped sweatshirt. My sister would straighten my hair. I felt like that was the moment where I started really getting into like, this scene. That's the scene." JOIN THE CLUB!

Behold, Season 2 is here! This entire season dives deep into the 1999 Fiend Magazine YoYo Tour when a grip of yoyo players from different companies went out on the Vans Warped Tour and spent an entire summer slinging yoyos and getting into trouble. In this episode: the mayhem begins.

"I think that whole 'you don't belong in this festival'—that's a manufactured media thing by people on the outside. Because when you go backstage... everybody is just fucking cool."  This week, Brian and Lizzie are catch-up after Vans Warped Tour in Washington, D.C. They break down the festival's enduring backstage community, why international crowds embrace diverse lineups better than anyone else, and feature exclusive, rapid-fire interviews with some of the scene's biggest names. We check the pulse of the scene through unfiltered conversations with Hoobastank, Super Sometimes, Rose Colored World, Saturday's at Your Place, and Deathbyromy. Our guests analyze everything from the nerve-wracking reality of playing a festival set 20 minutes after doors open, to the deep-rooted cultural representation currently reshaping pop-punk in 2026. Whether you're a seasoned Warped veteran or a newcomer to the scene, join us for an electric look at why this community still holds up today. "I think that whole 'you don't belong in this festival'—that's a manufactured media thing by people on the outside. Everybody is just fucking cool." "We played 20 minutes after the doors, and we were scared nobody was going to be there. Five minutes before our set, I looked out and there was nobody... and then we walked out and it was like a billion people." "The scene—the barriers in between scenes are breaking. Let's break these walls, people!" JOIN THE CLUB!

The boys recap three very different, very action-packed weekends. Yack kicks things off, as he dons a new hat: archery stage dad. He details a very educational day as a curious observer/equipment stand. Just a few miles up the road, the Iceman might've had an even taller task, as he was pressed into service as Troop Leader… for a day… for his local girl scout troop…sort of. (Don't worry too much, he had plenty of refreshments.) And even further up the road, AJ was trying to turn back the clock one more time at the Vans Warped Tour. But unlike last year's solo trek, he had backup this time around. Would that backup help him avoid over-consumption and a possible head injury? Listen to find out… but regardless, be a dear and send some magnesium, these boys really need it these days.

I'm catching up on your voicemails, podcast stickers are here, and MxPx is on every Vans Warped Tour date this summer and fall. Amelia asked what video games I play, which took me from Pong through Zelda, Skate or Die, Mortal Kombat, Madden, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater. I was a fan before we were ever on the soundtrack. Rich asked which bass got the first Pokinatcha Punk pick guard, so I go through my StingRay history, from the first one I put on layaway to my Sterling by Music Man signature bass. David Herrera (no relation) called asking for some advice for his son who's playing bass at 16: keep it simple, keep it fun, and be consistent every day. Nate's car stereo ate his CD, which got me telling the story of microwaving rejected mixes during Panic and how one of those CDs became the album art. And Frank asked why I switched from fingers to a pick (I smashed my finger in a bus door). --------------------- ON TOUR Vans Warped Tour - every date, summer and fall 2026 - see you at the main stage Punkadeka Festival - Milan, Italy - Saturday, September 5, 2026 Tickets and merch: mxpx.com  

For more than 20 years, Mayday Parade has been one of the defining bands of the pop-punk and emo scene. From packed clubs and Warped Tour parking lots to sold-out venues around the world, they've built a career that has stood the test of time while continuing to connect with new generations of fans. On this episode of Caught on the Mike, guitarist Brooks Betts joins me for a conversation about the band's incredible longevity, staying creative after two decades together, the evolution of the scene, life on the road, and the challenges and rewards of keeping Mayday Parade moving forward year after year. We also discuss the band's ambitious anniversary era, the collaborative songwriting process behind recent music, the return of Vans Warped Tour, and what it means to still be creating and performing at a high level twenty years into the journey.

In this episode of Unashamed, Unafraid, Mason and Sam welcome Mike Farr, a rock photographer, Spartan racer, husband to Jenny, and father to Wesley. Mike shares how his father leaving early, conflict with a stepfather, and feeling unlovable fueled a “character” that chased acceptance through music, drugs, escalating sexual behavior, and crime. He describes immersion in the late '60s–'80s music scene, cocaine dealing, and eventual heroin addiction, repeated arrests, rehab attempts, and a Salvation Army program that helped him rebuild sobriety and career. After a six-year relapse, an overdose coma, and another arrest, he surrendered, returned to meetings, and found sustained recovery and service, including coaching sobriety on the Vans Warped Tour, framing God as his Father and a source of healing.Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!
