Interview: Christo Bowman of Bad Suns

This past month I was able to connect with lead vocalist/guitarist, Christo Bowman, of the indie rock band, Bad Suns, to discuss what went into the band’s excellent fifth studio album, called Accelerator. In this interview, I asked Christo about his new foray into fatherhood and the affect it may influence in his future songwriting, plus Christo provided a detailed walkthrough of Bad Suns’ discography, and we also dove deep into the personal lyrical material found on Bad Suns’ latest album. Accelerator releases this Friday, August 8th via Epitaph Records and you can purchase the record here.

8123 Fest, the music festival curated by Arizona rock band The Maine, is making its highly anticipated return in January 2025. For the first time ever, the festival will span two full days, packed with incredible performances, exclusive events, and more. Taking place at the Mesa Amphitheater on January 17–18 2025, the festival offers a celebration of music, nostalgia, and community that fans won’t want to miss.

To highlight everything that is taking place during this two-day festival, I thought it would be cool to connect with some of the bands who would be performing. In this article, I have interviews with members of The Maine, Real Friends, and Bad Suns. Each of the bands I interviewed shared what the 8123 Fest means to them, the new music they are working on, as well as what fans can look forward to from their bands in the new year. 8123 Fest tickets are on sale here.
