The American Arson Podcast

Ernie Fabian and Nathan Moe of Tooth & Nail Records band Idle Threat join us for a great conversation about making their upcoming album, the pursuit of excellence while playing live, sketchy places to crash on tour, and more!

Nick Detty is the lead vocalist of metalcore legends Wolves At The Gate on Solid State Records. In this episode, we speak with Nick about dad life, balancing touring and a traditional job, and the band's most recent covers album "Lost In Translation." Nick is also kind enough to share some details about what's next for Wolves At The Gate, along with several of his favorite tour disasters.

Hayden Trobee is the lead singer/guitarist of current Tooth & Nail indie/alternative band Tigerwine. In this episode, we speak with Hayden about recording at the legendary Glow In the Dark studio, appearing on Audiotree as a young and inexperienced band, and Tigerwine's strategy of grinding their way to a record deal through relentless DIY touring. We also get to hear some hilarious and memorable stories about the path the band has traveled to get to where they are now, complete with van invaders, near-deadly blizzards and Rocky Mountain Oysters.
