“We didn't plan on being a band of any sort.” Quite the statement from frontman Dan Murphy from rock band All Good Things. Sometimes the best outcomes can and will manifest from things unplanned – As is the case with this Los Angeles based quintet. Dan joins IUF today to talk about all good things, and All Good Things. The goal was simple - to just write music for movies, TV, and video games. That certain goal was beyond reached with having their music featured on many highly popular revered mediums such as Mortal Kombat, The Super Bowl, Shark Tank, Criminal Minds, Vampire Diaries, and a brand new upcoming movie titled Retaliators. The demand from their dedicated growing fanbase got so high that they became an official band. C'mon, wouldn't you? But now, the sky's the limit at this point. Dan also talks about their new and exciting signing for the band with a prominent label like Better Noise Music and collaborating with the likes of Hollywood Undead on their latest single titled “For The Glory.” With times like today, unapologetic victory songs are what the world needs and it only seems fitting that All Good Things provide that soundtrack as we near the light at the end of the tunnel. So many things to look forward to with this band as they continue on this journey. Let All Good Things pave the way for the anthemic positive headbangers down the road and tune into our conversation with Dan Murphy as we also ask him about his favorite video games and movies, which also gave him the influences he needed to write the music he does with his bandmates. Do not miss the newest single “For The Glory” and be sure to stay on the lookout for a new full-length album from All Good Things coming very soon.

Former drummer of hard rock giants - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Jon Wilkes, joins IUF to talk about his current growing passion project titled Kingdom Of Us. Not only is he now fronting his new band as a vocalist, but he also dives into the role he plays on being an activist on making the world a better place. Sounds cliché?

From the different experiences and perspectives, being an activist, and in addition to being a musician - this sort of outlet has allowed someone like Jon to tap into a whole different dimension of himself that he may have not been able to tap into before. Plenty of inspiring things to unpack with a dedicated individual. Times like these (let's be real, every-time, rather) are when we need people like him.

When you spend two days all alone shooting a music video in extreme conditions - seventy meters underground with 7°C inside the Gouffre de Poudrey, which is France's largest equipped cave, that is dedication to your art. In today's episode, we chat with frontman Vince Wilquin from French progressive metal outfit Fractal Universe. Vince talks about the band's newest upcoming album, “The Impassable Horizon,” and the experiences on shooting a music video inside a cave that really showcased the band's aesthetics on getting the themes and concepts of the record into a visual representation. Vince also incorporated something fresh and unique into Fractal Universe's sound – and that is playing the saxophone. This new element has really expanded the band's catalog while adding another dimension to the overall sound, and Vince takes us through his experiences from Day 1 when he first picked up the brass instrument, into making it a permanent playing habit. A dedication to the art, and Vince, with his bandmates, are all in. Tune in now and be sure to buy and stream “The Impassable Horizon” from Fractal Universe, due out June 25 on Metal Blade Records.
