August Burns Red has dropped their 8th (!!) record this month, GUARDIANS. It's a banger. Front man Jake Luhrs and I talk about why he took a step back from lyric writing on this one, why numbers don't matter, and how he's surviving the lockdown.  I also drop a tiny excerpt from my upcoming book (shameless self-promotion).  @jakeluhrsabr @augustburnsred @heartsupport @godspeedpodcast @namedroppingbook

Best known as vocalist for Mayday Parade, Derek Sanders has released his first solo EP, My Rock and Roll Heart, five cover songs that shaped him as a musician. We break the EP down, track by track, and we may get a little sidetracked talking about the genius of Chris Carrabba.

Lindsay Latimer has drawn comparisons to Lorde, Tove Lo, and many other gigantic names in the music industry. I believe she is one of Nashville's best kept secrets! Let's hope that her EP Little Tiny Oceans doesn't keep her a secret for much longer. @lindsaylatimer

Did you read the Left Behind series? Did your youth group love to talk about the rapture? Did your parents ever take a little too long at the store and therefore you just knew they had been taken up to heaven without you and that candy bar you stole from Publix probably just dammed you to endure seven years of tribulation? We've all been there. Dan Koch is the host of You Have Permission, a podcast currently exploring end times anxiety through a series of in-depth and revealing interviews. These. stories. are. crazy.

Mark Stuart's instrument was his voice. It packed stadiums, won Grammy's, and changed lives. Then one day, his voice was gone.
