My guest on this weekend’s show is Stephen Christian, formerly the singer of Anberlin and also the voice behind the project Anchor & Braille.
We’ll be chatting about Anberlin’s origins, how he decided to pass the torch of Anberlin’s lead vocalist to Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire, and Stephen’s solo project Anchor & Braille + the brand new album New Mexico that comes out July 25 on Equal Vision records.
After moving from the Sunshine State to a small town in New Mexico, the time esteemed rock vocalist Stephen Christian spent in that town had a profound effect on him that remains with him to this day. That’s why, even after returning back to Florida, Christian has decided to pay tribute to New Mexico on the fifth Anchor & Braille full-length, which is not only named after the state, but whose 14 tracks capture its heart and soul. Just by listening to it, you can tell much of a cherished place it remains for the songwriter. NEW MEXICO is due July 25 via Equal Vision Records.
“I have not had more fun creating music on a record, maybe in my life,” Christian shares, and continues, “It was just so much fun to create. These songs are all internal dialogs I’ve had with myself, where I’m trying to figure out how I can help someone if they’re having the same thoughts or the same anxiety or the same worries. Because if they are, hopefully they can find a little bit of solace in this music. It’s supposed to be a full-on immersive experience. I want people to explore this place and help them feel at home, no matter where they are.”

Thanks to Mr. Stephen Christian for such a great chat.

My guest on this weekend's show is the b and Beauty School Dropout. We will be chatting about their experience playing Warped Tour’s 30th anniversary in D.C. last month, touring alongside with Blink 182, working with producer Neal Avron on their upcoming album, and much more on this weekend’s broadcast.

This summer, they'll hit the road on the Idobi Radio Summer School Tour, plus select Warped Tour dates. 

With over 60 million global streams across their debut and sophomore releases (WE MADE PLANS AND GOD LAUGHED and READY TO EAT), and signed by A&R Mark Hoppus under the trailblazing new label Verswire with Pete Wentz and Sherry Saeedi, the band has earned praise from major press outlets globally such as Billboard, Alt Press, SPIN, NME, and many more.   

BSD have already made an incredible mark as a live act, touring with blink-182 on their massive arena tour and joining Jaden Hossler across the U.S. They’ve delivered standout sets at major festivals, including four performances at Lollapalooza — with a breakout moment on the BMI Stage in front of 3,000 fans — and a spotlight appearance at Download Festival’s 20th anniversary. Their own highly-touted headline tours have sold out venues in major markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville, while their high-energy rock show has also taken them overseas, with Maggie Lindemann and Stand Atlantic across the UK and Europe. 

My special guests on the show this weekend are Dexter Holland and Noodles of the band The Offspring. We’ll be chatting about the recording of their breakout 1994 album Smash, hitting the road with Jimmy Eat World and New Found Glory on the Supercharged ‘25 tour next week, and much more.

Got the absolute homie Joshua Latham of the band Neutral Snap on the show this weekend— the first time a “local” band has been featured on the show. Neutral Snap is from New Orleans, Louisiana-- and recently recorded + wrote some songs with members of the bands Hidden in Plain View, A Day To Remember, and Taking Back Sunday.

We chatted about some of the band's original influences, recording the new EP, and much more.

I'm gonna be spinning their new song “Danny ACOG”, as well as an eclectic mix of genre-adjacent tunes— except all from local bands. Diving into the vault of Louisiana tunes by the likes of Meriwether, Abcent Minded, Oh Juliet!, Quiet District, FraggleBlast, and a track by Skip Angelle’s band, Final Essay.

The REASON you should listen to this week's SADurdays is because my special guest is Doug Robb, the singer of Hoobastank about their recent festival show at Sonic Temple, the meaning behind their iconic and unique band name, and the origin of the band’s musical-style in their early days when they were a jazz-fusion nu-metal band with saxophones and all.

I'll be playing choice hits from Hoobastank's 30 year career as a band, as well as an eclectic mix of genre-adjacent tunes, both new and old, on air during the hour.
