 On this episode of the Midwest Mixtape Podcast, we welcome Keith Wallen, guitarist for Breaking Benjamin and an accomplished solo artist, for a powerful and inspiring conversation. Fresh off the release of his latest solo single "Us Against the World," Keith talks about the meaning behind the track — a stirring anthem for fighters, believers, and those who never let go. The emotionally charged black-and-white video, featuring desert performance shots and a nod to The Lost Boys, highlights Wallen's ability to blend raw vulnerability with soaring rock energy.  

From directing the stunning grayscale desert-set video for “Us Against the World” to gearing up for his solo tour this summer and the Breaking Benjamin / 3 Days Grace tour kicking off August 29 in Ridgedale, Missouri — Keith gives us an inside look at the grind, the passion, and the process.

We dive deep into the meaning behind his newest music, the creative challenges of being a solo artist in a singles-driven world, and how he stays grounded through it all — including his love of golf, dedication to hygiene and sleep while touring, and his gratitude for the fans who continue to support both his solo work and Breaking Benjamin.

Whether you know him from Adelitas Way, Dark Before Dawn, or his breakout solo albums like Infinity Now, this episode shows a deeper side of Keith Wallen — the artist, the writer, the performer, and the human being.

🔥 Watch now and stick around for a Lost Boys-inspired twist in the video!
