In this week’s episode of The Rowdy Alternative, Sam interviews Metal-Core Band, Waves in April. The band shares their journey, from forming through a shared passion for music to navigating the challenges of Texas’s competitive music scene. They discuss the evolution of metal-core, blending diverse influences like emo, pop punk, and metal, and their unique “South Central Metal-Core” sound with modern electronic elements, which they call “spooky metal.” Dierks Canada, a key band member, dives into their collaborative creative process, the importance of community, and the positive reception of their latest single, Uzumaki, which explores themes of challenging relationships. They reflect on the support from established acts, the energy of their live performances, and the exciting future ahead, with new shows and music on the horizon!
