THE SETLIST

In our first special Q&A episode since the passing of our late Bo Lueders, we’re joined by Britty Drake (Pity Sex) & Mike Cesario (Twitching Tongues, Disgrace, Forced Order) to help bring a fresh perspective to recent questions asked by our Patreon and Discord members. Naturally, the majority of the conversation revolves around Bo, grief, and everything in between from these past few months. Thanks to all of you for the questions, Mike & Britty for joining us, and the rest of you for being here and for watching.

Cody Quistad of Wage War joins Chris Davis (The Ghost Inside) and Josh Korel for one of our favorite conversations yet. From growing up in Ocala, Florida and watching A Day To Remember change the local scene, to becoming one of the most respected songwriters in modern heavy music, Cody shares the story behind Wage War's evolution and why their newest music represents the band's strongest identity yet. We dive into the success of Song of the Swamp, why the heaviest music is performing better than ever, the importance of creating an authentic identity in today's music landscape, and how AI is pushing artists to become even more creative. Cody also opens up about imposter syndrome, writing under pressure, trusting your instincts when everyone doubts an idea, building songs like "Manic," and why staying humble has been one of the biggest keys to Wage War's longevity. Whether you're a musician, songwriter, producer, or simply a fan of modern metalcore, this episode is packed with insight into creativity, touring, songwriting, and the future of heavy music. 🚐 Join The Road Crew (Patreon) Support the pod, unlock exclusive content, and help keep the tour rolling: 👉 www.patreon.com/lflipod 💀 Perks Just for You ⚡ 10% OFF at Rockabilia — Use code “LOAD” → www.rockabilia.com 🎸 30% OFF on eligible Neural DSP plugins - Use code "LOAD" - www.neuraldsp.com 💙 Mental Health Matters Struggling?
