Only Three Lads - Classic Alternative Music Podcast

This week, the Lads hop in the time machine and leave the O3L era behind for the distant future to discuss their top albums of 2020.  For this year end spectacular (for an...um...less than spectacular year), they are joined by Sean Dowdell from Grey Daze.  Grey Daze was Chester Bennington's pre-Linkin Park band, who had reunited shortly before Bennington's death.  Using vintage vocals, the band retooled songs from their back catalogue for 2020's vital, emotional album Amends, which hit #1 on the rock charts in the US & UK.  Sean discusses his friendship and partnership with Chester, the creative process behind the new album, and our very own Uncle Gregg's impact on the Grey Daze story and the '90s Phoenix music scene.   For more of our conversation with Sean, be sure to check out our bonus episode!   Thank you for all of your support during our first year.  Happy New Year from Only Three Lads!   Now where's that time machine?  We want to get back to the O3L era...stat!!     Learn more about your ad choices.
