Heath Saraceno (Midtown, Senses Fail): From Major Labels to Real Life, and Back to the Stage
“I may not be the best guitarist they played with, but I was the most prepared.”
New Jersey legend Heath Saraceno joins The Aftershow to trace the arc from Midtown’s quick rise and major-label years to his rejuvenating run with Senses Fail—and the hard reset that followed. Heath opens up about the expectations and realities of MCA and Columbia, the creative peak and underappreciated impact of Forget What You Know, and why he ultimately stepped away from full-time touring. He shares the exact mindset and preparation that landed him in Senses Fail, the emotional toll of endings, and the discipline it took to build a second career from the ground up in the electrical trade.
Along the way: Dave Grohl’s “C-team” bachelor party, four-guitar hardcore chaos, how social media changed the definition of “sellout,” and why coming home every night can be the best part of growing up—without giving up the music.
Perfect for fans of Midtown, Senses Fail, 2000s pop-punk/emo history, and anyone navigating life after the dream job.
