Interview with The Zolas

We had the pleasure of interviewing The Zolas over Zoom video! From of the far-flung shores of British Columbia and two decades late for the cover of Select Magazine, The Zolas prove with Come Back to Life that you can take a step back to move forward. "In our jam space we started fucking around with this nostalgic vibe: like a warped memory of the Britpop music we obsessed over as kids but never got to make. Eventually it seemed obvious we had to follow that feeling and make an album of it. I had just come off a long period of writing pop music for other people [including 'L.A. Hallucinations' from Carly Rae Jepsen's critically acclaimed album Emotion] and a co-writing trip in Europe [with artists such as Starsailor's James Walsh] and it was a spiritual thing to be in a dank room playing loud with our band again." Several years since the release of 2016's radio-smashing, Juno-nominated breakthrough Swooner, the group was ready to start a new cycle and a new direction. "We thought it was hilarious to make a Britpop record at a time when nobody but us is listening to that," Gray muses. "but we have our little clique and that made us more excited to do what we want and say fuck it to how it might be received." The frontman describes Come Back to Life as a collision between the soundtracks for Danny Boyle's culture-jamming Trainspotting and Baz Luhrmann's radical re-imagining of Romeo + Juliet. "This is the 21st century heir to those soundtracks," he declares. But for all the swaggeringly self-confident vocals and soaring wonderwall guitars on epics like "Yung Dicaprio" and "Miles Away", the Zolas aimed for more than carbon copying a classic sound. "There's so many sounds we love that came out of the mid-90s UK; britpop and acid-house and trip-hop all carrying on in parallel scenes. If felt right to cross-pollinate this album with all of that," Gray says. "So we'd write simple songs in our jam space and then steal sounds from the Prodigy or Primal Scream or the Happy Mondays or Tricky whenever it felt good." While Come Back to Life is an unrepentantly joyful sonic love letter to a magical time, the Zolas aren't afraid to get serious on the lyrical side of things. "Honestly every album I've ever written is about nostalgia and the apocalypse and this one's no different" Gray laughs, "but looking at it now these songs feel really specific to our moment in time. It's a cross-section of conversations I've had and overheard in these past few years. Conversations we've all been a part of whether we like it or not." Come Back to Life touches on everything from waking up to Canada's appalling treatment of its First Nations ("Wreck Beach/Totem Park") to global wealth disparity ("I Feel the Transition") to artists being priced out of the cities they've helped make great ("Bombs Away"). Gray is at his most potently poignant on "PrEP", which came out of a reddit thread asking users to share their first-hand accounts of the '80s AIDS epidemic. "I've cried at more than a few reddit threads, but never like this. Everybody should read this." "My dad [playwright John MacLachlan Gray] was in theatre, so in lots of baby photos I'm being held by friends of his I don't recognize," Gray reminisces. "One day I asked him about them, and it turns out every one of them are gone. They were probably gone within five years of the pictures being taken. Now by some miracle HIV is totally manageable and it pisses me off that we're not all out there celebrating the light at the end of such a long, dark tunnel." Consider, then, Come Back to Life being inspired by the past on multiple levels, quite rightly making the Zolas thrilled about the band's future. "I'm dead happy just being in this band right now. We love making noise together, we're chasing the same vision, and lyrically I've never felt more on it," Gray says with a brashness straight from the bucket-hatted heyday of Britpop. "It's nice to have a Kanye moment where you look at your output and go 'This is the greatest shit that's coming out this year.' As cute Canadians we tend to shy away from feeling ourselves like that but it's the truth." We want to hear from you!

Interview with SIX60

We had the pleasure of interviewing SIX60 over Zoom video! New Zealand pop/rock icons SIX60 have been making headlines across the globe, thanks to the joyous, COVID-free concerts they have been performing to crowds of more than 20,000 people at a time. They are the biggest band in New Zealand history, and arguably the most dominant band in a single territory ever, representing more than 15% of all music listened to in their home country. Formed in 2008, the band has released four number one albums and 44 platinum singles, including their most recent single, "All She Wrote," which shot to the top of the charts upon its release. Thanks to New Zealand's success with COVID, SIX60 was able to continue to tour throughout the pandemic, which made them "the planet's biggest touring band," according to NME, selling more tickets than the rest of the world combined. Complex, The Guardian, and CNN all highlighted their impressive touring accomplishments, with the BBC reporting that "the success of their shows will give hope to musicians around the world that concerts will resume one day." Now, on the heels of a record shattering year, SIX60 have announced their arrival to the US with their first-ever performances in the country, stopping at two iconic halls: LA's The Fonda Theatre on Saturday, October 9th, and NYC's Webster Hall on Thursday, October 14th. The concerts will continue the band's streak of historic firsts, which included the first-ever musical performance at New Zealand's national stadium Eden Park – the biggest live show in the world at the time, performed in front of 50k fans - and an eleven-date European tour, which included their biggest show outside of their native New Zealand at the iconic London venue, Alexandra Palace. "It's really exciting to be playing our first headline shows in the states," SIX60 said. "When the pandemic hit, it was hard to imagine it ever happening. We just played Bottle Rock and Berkley this weekend, and the crowd response has been incredible. It seems like the crowds are really happy to be back together and we can't wait to give them a night to remember." SIX60's live shows have garnered the attention of media across the world. ITV's Piers Morgan dubbed them "the hottest band in the world right now" during his interview with lead singer Matiu Walters, and the BBC called the shows "just unimaginable right now." The band's performance at Eden Park was highlighted by one-off special appearances by players of the All Blacks rugby team, New Zealand's National Naval band, a flyover of Royal New Zealand Air Force jets, as well as traditional Maori Kapa Haka performers, who joined the band on stage to see out the night with their hit 'Don't Forget Your Roots' (Kia Mau Ki Tō Ūkaipō). The concert was streamed by millions of fans across 30 countries, thanks to a trailblazing partnership with the leading streaming platform Veeps, and it was also the first-ever concert to be streamed live via TikTok.

Interview with Cody Fry

We had the pleasure of interviewing Cody Fry over Zoom video! When his schedule of dates with fellow musician Ben Rector on the well named Old Friends Acoustic Tour, was canceled after just four shows due to the pandemic, Cody Fry retreated to his Nashville home, took the occasional work-for-hire production job, finished up his album Pictures of Mountains (which came out earlier this year) and monitored his Spotify streams. It was there he began noticing unusual activity on "I Hear a Symphony," the 14th and final track on his 2017 album Flying, recorded with a full orchestra, its streams climbing incrementally, eventually hitting a peak of 400,000 streams per day on Spotify alone. Fry is a singer-songwriter-composer-arranger with five albums under his belt, starting with his 2012 debut, audio:cinema–a perfect description of the idiosyncratic, wide-screen, romantic movie-score approach he takes on "I Hear a Symphony" and "Photograph" (from Pictures of Mountains). Going down the internet rabbit hole, he discovered some comments on his YouTube videos that led him to Tik Tok, where "I Hear a Symphony" had been adopted, first by a K-Pop fan community, then by anime aficionados, who used the song in their video montages–more than 45,000 of them, representing millions of streams. Unfortunately, Fry only received a check from TikTok for a grand total of $150 so far for the video usage, but that activity spurred his four-year-old Flying album to garner upwards of 50 million streams and counting. That has earned Cody the luxury to choose his own creative path, and the result is The Symphony Sessions, a six-song album that includes his patented live orchestral touch, including fully arranged covers of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and Ben Rector's "Sailboat," a song from his tour partner's 2013 album The Walking In-Between, which served as a joined encore on their tour dates, with Fry on piano, Rector on guitar. All the songs were recorded live in a single day, including several of the lead vocals, with a 60-piece orchestra, including strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion. "When a session is structured in this way, it doesn't leave much room for error, but luckily the musicians were incredible, and everything turned out better than I could have imagined," says Cody. "It was a stressful, nerve-wracking, joyful, rewarding experience. I hope I get to continue making more music like this." The album also features songs reimagined from Fry's back catalog like audio: cinema's "Underground" and "Stop Breathing" (a song he originally recorded as a duet with his now-wife Haley); a new song, "More Than the Day Before" and instrumental interlude, "Caves." Cody is also posting two live videos of him performing both "I Hear a Symphony" and "Photograph" before a full 60-piece orchestra. The Symphony Sessions takes pop music to orchestral heights. You don't need to be a TikTok follower to hear that. We want to hear from you!

Interview with John King

We had the pleasure of interviewing John King over Zoom video! John King has spent years cultivating a successful career in country music — he has written No. 1 hits for artists like Randy Houser and anthemic radio jams like "Tonight Tonight," which was heard on CBS Thursday Night Football broadcasts; he penned Hootie and The Blowfish's first new song after a 15 year hiatus; he's earned an ASCAP Award for his songwriting and much more. On his debut album 'Always Gonna Be You,' King shines a light on the most important things in life: family and faith. 'Always Gonna Be You' is available everywhere via Starstruck Records. Listen here: johnking.lnk.to/AGBY On 'Always Gonna Be You,' King worked with several producers including Paul DiGiovanni (Boys Like Girls), Jordan Schmidt (Keith Urban, Ingrid Andress), Jason Gantt (Faith Hill) and others who helped him hone-in his eclectic music tastes for an album that plays off of country, pop and rock influences. King lived every song on the album, co-writing each track with songwriters including Josh Miller (Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood, Bebe Rexha), Jamie Paulin (Jon Pardi, Justin Moore, Jack Ingram), Trannie Anderson (Gabby Barrett) and more. 'Always Gonna Be You' is King's personal journey of self-discovery told in chronological order. It kicks off with "Easy," a laid back tune that speaks to the "anything is possible" feeling of a budding young love. "Try Saying Goodbye" takes an introspective turn and "strikes a universal chord" (Taste of Country) with a warning of what happens when pride stands in the way of a relationship, while the pop-infused "heartbreaking, but catchy breakup song" (The Boot) "Ain't Missing You" reflects back on the end of a relationship. The album takes a hopeful turn with the ever-romantic "For You," in which King sings of the sacrifices he's willing to make for love. The relationship begins to mend with "'Til It Changes Your Mind," a raw reflection of the wrong things he had prioritized in life and a promise to change. Listeners follow King to a milestone moment in his life, becoming a proud husband and then father, on "Prettiest Girl In The Room," while the album closes with "Better Man," a song that anchors the album as King finds a new purpose in life. Call it a soundtrack to self-discovery. Call it a coming-of-age story performed by a southern son whose country twang is matched by his pop hooks. Whatever the description, 'Always Gonna Be You' is proof there's a new King in town. For information on upcoming shows and more, visit johnkingcountry.com. We want to hear from you!

Interview with Mike Skill

We had the pleasure of interviewing Mike Skill over Zoom video! Detroit native and celebrated rock guitarist Mike Skill has been a working musician for more than four decades. Skill's roots lay in 60's Motown, Traditional-Garage Blues and New Wave Punk movement, spending his early days in New York City with one of his first bands, Motor City Rockers, playing clubs including historic CBGB with the New York Dolls, Syl Sylvain and friends in attendance. Best known as a founding member, guitarist and principal songwriter for The Romantics, Skill co-wrote the band's ever-popular song, "What I Like About You". He also created the heart-thumping bass groove and co-wrote the global #1 hit "Talking in Your Sleep." The Romantics were part of the early days of MTV with energetic videos featuring their infectious new wave pop hooks. In 2011, The Romantics were inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame. Today, Skill continues to write and record in Detroit at Pearl Sound Studios with Producer Chuck Alkazian and from his current home in Portland, OR, in addition to performing around the world.

Interview with Wage War

We had the pleasure of interviewing Cody Quistad of Wage War over Zoom video! Florida hard rock quintet WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — have released their fourth full-length Manic on Fearless Records. The band recently shared their new single "Circle the Drain," one of the most anthemic songs in the band's catalog to date. "'Circle the Drain' is a song about learning from past mistakes and accepting responsibility in a world that needs change," the band shares. "It starts with us deciding to be a part of the solution." As for the album, Wage War offer, "After a long wait, and endless hours of work, we could not be more ecstatic to announce our new album Manic. We've spent the entire last year working so hard to bring you the best Wage War yet, and we've never been more sure that we've accomplished that." The band previously shared the video for "High Horse." On Manic, the band masterfully strikes a delicate and well-crafted balance of grooves, riffs, melodies, and electronic flourishes. After amassing nearly 300 million streams and receiving widespread acclaim from Billboard, Loudwire, Modern Drummer, American Songwriter, Alternative Press, and more, the group delivered 11 anthems meant to connect through turbulence. "Manic encompasses everything we've gone through as musicians in the last year-and-a-half," says Kluesener. "The whole industry halted, and we technically lost our jobs. Our scene was among the first to leave and the last to come back. The album captures the whole period." Quistad pulls back the curtain even more, saying, "Mania is a wild emotion. The last year was all severe highs and lows. We had some victories, but we've also had so many low points. We've built this thing for the last 10 years and put all of our chips into it. We've missed birthdays and funerals, but we've done some extraordinary things. Last year, we found ourselves wondering if it would ever come back. That's really what the album is about." Ultimately, Manic is a triumph and a definitive artistic statement for Wage War. It represents the apex of an intense creative journey. They built a diehard audience with Blueprints [2015] and Deadweight [2017] and through incessant touring. 2019's Pressure exploded right out of the gate. "Low" piled on 24.9 million Spotify streams with "Who I Am" at 10.7 million Spotify streams and "Me Against Myself" at 8.4 million Spotify streams. Beyond bringing their total stream tally past ­a-quarter-of-a-billion, it landed on Loudwire's "50 Best Metal Albums of 2019," while Billboard praised the album's levity. American Songwriter called attention to the evolution of the band's songwriting and sound, while New Noise Magazine awarded it 4-out-of-5 stars. Elsewhere, Alternative Press raved, "Wage War are unapologetically changing the game on all fronts on Pressure." We want to hear from you!

Interview with Ben Zaidi

We had the pleasure of interviewing Ben Zaidi over Zoom video! BEN ZAIDI'S NEW SINGLE "GOING ON GONE" OUT NOW! DEBUT ALBUM PRODUCED BY TONY BERG DUE 2022 ON NETTWERK Emerging Brooklyn-based artist Ben Zaidi unveils a new song from his forthcoming Tony Berg-produced debut album. Listen/share "Going on Gone" HERE and watch/share the official lyric video HERE. Zaidi explains the song was inspired by a drunken moment on the beach in Florida, which was "interrupted by a sudden vision of mortality and climate apocalypse. The desire to detach from reality and live with your headphones on is strong." The track follows first single "Ben Zaidi's Blues;" Watch/share the video HERE. Zaidi's debut album is set for release in 2022 on Nettwerk, and was produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Peter Gabriel, Beck) and recorded at Los Angeles' Sound City Studios along with backing band members Ethan Gruska, Sebastian Steinberg (Fiona Apple,) saxophonist Sam Gendel and Kane Ritchotte (Portugal. The Man.) More details to come. Watch Zaidi perform live at KEXP HERE. Born and raised in Seattle, Zaidi is a Harvard-educated poet whose debut album explores a variety of themes: death, racial identity, quarter-life changes and the loss of innocence that comes with a rapidly decaying planet. Growing up with a lot of Northwest music influences, ultimately lyric-heavy albums such as Bob Dylan's The Times They Are A-Changin' and The Freewheelin Bob Dylan, as well as Joni Mitchell's Blue, were in heavy rotation while writing his new album. Much of the record was influenced by a long drive down I-95 from Brooklyn to Florida to visit a friend who had been diagnosed with Stage IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and going through chemo. "And that obviously was the first smack in the face of, 'Oh, we're not invincible anymore' It's not like, 'Oh our whole life is ahead of us stretching out in front of us,' but instead there is a certain frailty that this is all precariously balanced on. And I think the album's grappling with that." More details to come soon. We want to hear from you!

Interview with Employed To Serve

We had the pleasure of interviewing Employed To Serve over Zoom video! Employed To Serve have released their brand new record, Conquering, out via Spinefarm. Drawing influence from the music of their youth and a new perspective on how to nurture the positive aspects of humanity and individual growth, Conquering is a celebration and acknowledgement of triumph in the face of a world that can be relentlessly adversarial. Employed to Serve began recording Conquering in the "unforgiving winter" of 2020. It was produced and mixed by Lewis Johns at The Ranch, Southampton and mastered by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering. ETS took the time thrown at them by a world stopped still to write their most visceral material to date. ABOUT EMPLOYED TO SERVE: Employe to Serve's origins are essentially humble, with the core duo of Justine Jones (vocals) and Sammy Urwin (guitar/vocals) initially starting the band as a two-piece grindcore project backed by a drum machine. Early experiences on the UK festival scene expanded their horizons and perceptions of what weightier music could be. Seeing heavy-hitters such as Converge, Meshuggah, and Glassjaw alongside smaller but no less important acts like Rolo Tomassi, Veils, and The Chariot inspired the duo to develop their vision. 2014's Change Nothing Regret Everything EP operated as a stepping stone into full band territory, before 2015's critically acclaimed debut album, Greyer Than You Remember, became their calling card, followed up two years later by The Warmth of a Dying Sun, then their 2019 Spinefarm debut Eternal Forward Motion. Employed to Serve have already proved themselves as a searingly intense and honest live experience, sharing bills with the cream of the crop of modern heavy music, including Code Orange, Bury Tomorrow, Stick To Your Guns, Loathe, Counterparts, and Underoath. They've also decimated stages at some of the UK and Europe's leading music festivals, the likes of Download, Glastonbury, Graspop, and Hellfest. And the accolades are unstoppable; from their Kerrang! Album of the Year win back in 2017, achieving the assumed impossible with a KKKKKK (yes, that is 6 K's!) live review, landing in Metal Hamme''s reader and staff Top 10 Album polls, and a 2020 sold-out Underworld performance, to a plethora of cover features across Music Week, Metro Weekend, Upset, and Kerrang!, Employed to Serve are unflinching at the forefront of metal innovation.
