BREWtally Speaking Podcast

Join Sebastian and I as we jump right into a recent social media post he made about having to cancel the tour in support of the new album due to struggles with his mental health. We discuss how difficult it was for him to make that decision and the challenge of choosing what’s best for yourself while still feeling like you’re letting others down.

Sebastian opens up about the difficult year he’s had, including losing and letting go of both his former band and his significant other. We talk about how the end of those relationships felt akin to deaths in his personal and professional life, how the two often bleed into one another, and how those experiences found their way into the themes of the new album. Was it life imitating art, or art imitating life?

We also get into what’s in a name and how both of us have used nicknames as a way to hide our insecurities while also using them as a vehicle to become the people we wanted to be. We discuss eventually shedding those names as we became more comfortable with ourselves, and how what someone calls you can sometimes reveal just how well they actually know you.

We also talk about getting older, what Sebastian has learned through this period of his life, what’s in store for him moving forward, and much more in this chat.

Join Tyler and I for a chat before the frontman played a sold out show here in Grand Rapids.

Tyler opens up about the bands longevity, getting older, and becoming more comfortable with who you are. How all of these things allowed Theory to get back to making music that actually makes them happy.

We talk about knowing when to trust your own instincts. How Tyler navigates being an introvert despite spending his life as a frontman and the balance of vulnerability and humor in his songwriting.
Tyler share how “Bad Girlfriend” became an unlikely dive bar and strip club anthem. What fans can expect from their latest EP Part 1: Funeral Songs , the themes tying these songs together, and what “Part 1” might mean for what Theory has coming next and more in this backstage chat with the Theory of a Deadman frontman.

Join Frank and I as we talk about the bands upcoming album, "Curium Perficio" out September 18th via Megaforce Records and Nuclear Blast Records respectively.

We discuss what it means to be in a band that's been around for over 40 years, and how Frank and the band have managed to navigate an ever-changing music industry while still remaining true to who they are.

Frank shares some humorous stories about how things have changed for him and the guys over the decades of touring, how it's still about having fun with friends on the road, but now it also includes making sure to do yoga and playing with ingrown toenails and such.

Frank and I discuss how therapy helped each of us as we get older in life, living life to the fullest in memory of family and friends we've lost along the way, and if the title of the album is a clue that maybe this might be the bands last.

All this and more in my chat with the legendary Frank Bello

Join Amir and I as we reflect on his childhood friend Myke Terry's Bury Your Dead albums, how it was for him to see a close friend joining this band on the rise and how it begat his foray into the touring world.

Amir talks about how it was going from friends with the BYD camp to earning their respect and learning the ropes of the touring world on the fly. Some of the struggles he faced as the band quickly climbed the ranks from smaller clubs to doing arenas, and why he subsequently walked took a break from that life.

We also get into growing up out east, racism in the metal and hardcore scenes, and how it is to be in business with one of your longest tenured friends and how he and Myke have navigated that without it ruining their friendship along the way.

Amir also opens up about his latest endevour, 1Hotslice, which takes an interesting approach to artist managing and consulting form a completely different perspective, and how he came up with it.

All this and more in my chat with the renaissance man himself.

Join Ray and I as we talk about “HIM”, the movie I had JUST finished minutes before we did this chat. We talk what we think the movie was getting at with its symbolism and kinda nerding out about Jordan Peele and the worlds that he’s created over his movies, and if they’re possibly a shared multiverse?

From there  Ray opens up about the success of his solo career, how when we last talked it was sort of a last ditch attempt at a career in making music. The challenges of releasing a song a week for a year.  Dealing with the success of his solo material, while also learning to deal with comments that he was either an industry plant or wasn’t even a real human being but AI. 

We talk about how the success of those songs allowed Ray to really dive deeper into himself to get to some of his most personal songs yet, including one that he wrote for his dad that he hasn’t shown him yet. We also dive into how hard it is for each of us to know how much of ourselves to put into our creative outlets due to backlash from strangers. 

Ray talks about some big life changes happening for him, partying with Gary Busey and more in this chat.
