Footballhead joins OurSpace with Matt Vettese to talk about their new album Weight of the Truth, and how they’re bringing early 2000s alternative rock energy into a modern sound without becoming a nostalgia-core band.

We talk about the balance between inspiration and originality, the shift from a solo project into a fully collaborative band, and why this record feels like a true debut for Footballhead. The conversation also dives into songwriting maturity, coming-of-age themes, and what it means to make music that reflects real life in your 30s.

Plus: getting unexpected co-signs from artists like 311 and New Found Glory, touring with Ben Quad, and the hilarious (but possibly real) strategy of landing on a “divorce dad workout playlist.”
