Identity Crisis. The incredibly funny, pure and gentle, pop-punk powerhouse WSTR are our guests on Episode 57 of Sappenin' Podcast! Sammy, Boots and Alex take a session of band therapy in this deep, humble and no holds barred conversation. Experience the band dive into their career and future plans by exposing their own individual thoughts and feelings to each other for the first time. Things got real very quickly, this is the ultimate fly on the wall approach to a band meeting. Hear everything from hilarious tour story to secrets behind new single Filthy, their struggles to communicate their feeling, coming to grips with working in Los Angeles, what they want the next album to sound like, industry highs and lows, metal health problems, living up to the rockstar stereotype, the Queen, Garry Linker, crisps and so much more. We even take a look through their phone at one point and celebrity tinder comes up... WHAT!? We wanted to do a full one with these lovely humans ever since our first encounter with them at out 2000 Trees Festival 2019 special and they didn't disappoint. This one will answer a lot of questions for what it's like for bands in the industry today, a real eye (or ear) opener. WSTR coming in hot, 2020 is going to be an interesting one for them. Turn it up to join Sean and Morgan to find out Sappenin' this week!
