Those releases culminated in the band's heavy but reflective ninth studio album, The Beautiful Dark of Life. Then, earlier this year, Atreyu unleashed The Pronoia Sessions — a 10-song collection that takes eight of their hits “to a whole new place” and features a pair of covers (Audioslave and Tom Petty).

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Dexter Holland of The Offspring. The Offspring have been kicking around for four decades, but the band are celebrating a major milestone this year — the 30th anniversary of their mainstream triumph Smash, which remains the biggest-selling rock album released on an indie label.

Now, the Orange County vets are readying their 11th studio album, Supercharged (out Oct. 11), which was produced by Bob Rock and continues their streak of writing punk hits.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by HARDY. Growing up in the small town of Philadelphia, Mississippi, HARDY was introduced to heavy music in high school. Soon, he fell in love with nü metal and metalcore, including System of a Down, Linkin Park, and August Burns Red. It's all culminated in an overlap of country and hardcore within his own music, where HARDY has scratched out a unique space. His 2023 album, the mockingbird & THE CROW, was split into two halves — country and hard rock — the latter featuring a collaboration with A Day to Remember's Jeremy McKinnon. Since then, it's hit No. 1 on the Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Hard Rock Albums charts and rose to No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Lainey Wilson. Over the past decade, Wilson has blossomed into a bonafide country star. The Southern-bred singer has written tracks with Luke Combs, made her acting debut in Yellowstone (as well as had her songs featured on its soundtrack), and devised her own genre, “bell bottom country.” The sound combines Southern rock, soul, and a distinctly Nashvillian POV, where she now resides. That's best heard on her latest album, Whirlwind, which continues to play with the boundaries of her sound and includes a wistful duet with Miranda Lambert.
