In this MINI episode of Tuna on Toast, Stryker talks to Matt and Brad Shultz from the band Cage the Elephant. In 2024, Cage the Elephant released their sixth album, Neon Pill, and Matt and Brad give Stryker all the details on how it was made. Neon Pill was especially important for Matt, their lead singer, who suffered through years of psychosis before getting the help he needed. He tells Stryker all about his journey, and how it inspired many of the songs on Neon Pill, including the title track. Another great song from the album is “Rainbow,” and Matt explains to Stryker how he instantly knew it was going to be special. Stryker also asks the guys about the band’s early goals, long before Cage the Elephant had massive hits songs and Grammy Awards. Matt and Brad also share some fond memories of their dad, a major musical influence in their lives, who passed away in 2020. This was a great interview with an awesome band, who will be touring with Oasis next year!
