BEYOND THE BARRICADE

This week on Beyond the Barricade we got to sit down and chat with Shevy Marie, a SFX and Makeup artist, while she was on tour with Black Veil Brides. Shevy talks about the fear of rejection, how simply asking for your “in'' can lead to some amazing roads that you didn't think were open to yourself, and how important personal relationships and connections are to anyone looking to get into the industry. Not only does Shevy work as a makeup artist for some incredible bands, but she fills whatever role is needed from her while on tour. Such as, being the gatekeeper for the VIP fan experience while fans see and meet their favorite artist, and being a production assistant and assistant to the tour manager while on the road. Listen and join in on this incredibly fun conversation on this week’s episode of Beyond the Barricade!

This week we are sitting down in the shower, (literally), with People R Ugly and diving into their career so far and their rise to social media stardom. We talk about their influences for not only their music, but also who inspires their one of a kind stage presence and show. They give us some very personal anecdotes such as a full breakdown of the movie “She’s the Man”, getting blessings from the Plain White Tees, and the Loch Ness monster. 

Listen along as we sit and cry, or just talk, in the shower with three-fourths of People R Ugly on this week’s episode of Beyond the Barricade!

This week we sit down with our favorite tour manager, Gayle Alquizar, while she was on the road with Between You & Me. Gayle tells us all about how life changing hearing Grand Theft Autumn for the first time was, how COVID motivated her leap of faith into the music industry, and what it's really like being on tour. Listen as we dive headfirst into her experiences going from hitting the road for the first time to touring across the world, and the bonds that are strengthened along the way.

On this introduction episode of Beyond The Barricade we're going back to the beginning and telling you ALLLLL about how Backing The Barricade started and has now grown to include Beyond The Barricade! You'll hear how Madi and Lor first met and got connected, the story of how Backing The Barricade started with a $30 Spirit Airlines flight and a dream, and the heart behind launching Beyond The Barricade and how it all ties in to our simple goal and the heart behind all of this: telling fan stories.

We got to sit down with Max Bemis of Say Anything on the opening night of their 20th Anniversary tour for the album 'Is A Real Boy' and talked all things 2004. We got to ask Max about the artists he grew up being a fan of, which artists had the greatest influence on him during the creation of 'Is a Real Boy', what he hopes fans get out of the tour, and SO much more! Listen along to be transported back to the greatest era for pop punk music (the early 2000's, duh) and revisit this ICONIC album with us...
