On this week’s episode of Encore I am joined by special guest Deanna Chapman. Deanna returns to the show to discuss music and technology. We talk about Brand New’s High & Low set (which Deanna saw in person), new albums from Mutemath, Foo Fighters, The National, PVRIS, and more, and then go deep on the latest Apple event. We talk about the new products, Apple Music, iOS 11, and what we think we want to upgrade and not upgrade.
The Movielife are on the latest episode of the #AlternativeFacts podcast.
Pete Wentz is the latest guest on the the Rock Sound Podcast and the talks about Fall Out Boy finishing up their new album:
Not necessarily that we weren’t far along before – the songs just weren’t the right songs. We totally altered the course, which I think was important.
“I’d say we’re 60 or 70 per cent done with the record now,” he revealed.
I think we got ourselves into a strange situation where we put out “Young And Menace” and then we were like, ‘What’s the rest of the body of work?’.
Seb Lefebvre of Simple Plan is the latest guest on Mike Herrera’s podcast.
On this week’s episode of Encore I am once again joined by special guest Thomas Nassiff. Thomas returns to the show to discuss the album we spent most of our time recording this show waiting on … Brand New’s Science Fiction. This episode of the show differs from the previous episode in that we we spend most of the time talking about the album roll-out and the industry ramifications of this new album. We talk about the band going #1 on the charts, how this specific roll-out was the only way they could live up to expectations, and the chance of there ever being a band like this again.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself that this actually happened.
Lorde is on the latest episode of the WTF Podcast with Marc Maron.
Against the Current are on the most recent Rock Sound Podcast and talk about their next album:
The hope is that we can get a song or two out before the end of the year, it all depends on where we are with the record because we want to do it right – I’m still a perfectionist even though I’m now aware of it! I’m still a little crazy on myself, so we want to make sure we don’t just push something out for the sake of pushing it out, we want to have it exactly right
Geoff Rickly of Thursday is the latest guest on the Vinyl Me, Please podcast. He discusses his thoughts on Brand New’s new album Science Fiction.

You may have had to wait a few extra weeks for a new episode of Encore, but that doesn’t come close to the eight year wait for a new album from Brand New. But, it’s here, and we’re gonna talk all about it. I am joined this week, once again, by special guest Drew Beringer to break down Science Fiction. We talk about our history with the band, our thoughts on their catalog, and do a track-by-track through the new album. We discuss the band’s place in the music scene, why they resonate so much with fans, and argue how the new album stacks up in their discography.
There’s never been a band quite like Brand New, and we may never see anything quite like them, or their rabid fanbase, again. I hope you enjoy our deep dive as much as we did recording it.
Former member of Twenty One Pilots, Chris Salih, is on the latest episode of the aptly named “Twenty One Pilots Podcast.”
Sainte’s Tay Jardine is the latest guest on the Rock Sound Podcast:
I didn’t realise how important that break was for me mentally and physically. I decided to take that time and work a lot on my voice, so the physical time off was incredible for that and then just mentally to be like a real person and not be on the road all the time was just really fun and eye-opening for me.
Pod Save America have announced a nationwide tour of live shows.
If anyone sees them ask if I can redesign their website for them.
Knuckle Puck are guests on the latest Rock Sound Podcast. Apparently they re-recorded a bunch of the album after not liking the first group of songs:
None of us were really like psyched on it. Usually when you go in to record, it’s one of my favourite parts of being in this band – when you record it’s the real deal and you just get this feeling, man. But for some reason it just wasn’t there this time – the first time around.
It was an odd feeling because the songs were really good but it just didn’t measure up for some reason, none of us were psyched. So we thought about it for two months and then re-did them – we both changed and kept a lot, and now we’re psyched on them! It’s been a rollercoaster of emotion and kind of crazy.
State Champs are on the latest episode of the Rock Sound podcast. They confirm they’ll be writing some with All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth again on their upcoming album.
Blake Schwarzenbach of Jawbreaker is on the first episode of the Missing Words podcast.
In our premiere episode, we discuss the relationship between nostalgia, reunions, and coming back to artistic creations after quite some time during these not-so-optimistic times.
Why exactly do certain records get dismissed by one generation only to find a whole new one appreciating it for different reasons? Why do we want bands to come back so we can experience something we may have missed being a part of?
