    Kasher has fronted Cursive since the mid-’90s, leading the band through emo, post-hardcore, and dissonant experimentation.

    A self-described “comedian with too many kids,” Cruickshank has been involved in the entertainment circuit for decades.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Brandon Saller of Atreyu.
    Over the past year, the Orange County metalcore vets have stayed furiously busy. In 2022, they put out an EP trilogy that began with The Hope of a Spark and continued with The Moment You Find Your Flame and A Torch In The Dark.
    Those releases culminated in the band’s heavy but reflective ninth studio album, The Beautiful Dark of Life.
    Then, earlier this year, Atreyu unleashed The Pronoia Sessions — a 10-song collection that takes eight of their hits “to a whole new place” and features a pair of covers (Audioslave and Tom Petty).

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Ryan Ashley.
    Though Ashley dreamed of becoming a tattoo artist as a teenager, she didn’t think it was realistic and became a fashion designer instead. Specializing in beads and lace, she ultimately used that eye for detail and deep understanding of tattoo culture to win Ink Master season 8 in 2016.
    Since winning in 2016, she’s gone on to appear in spin-offs and other seasons, including serving as a judge on season 16 of Ink Master, which is airing now.
    In a conversation with her co-star, Ashley reflects on her most meaningful tattoo, the challenges of being a working mom, and behind-the-scenes stories from the Ink Master set.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Atiba Jefferson.
    Jefferson is a storied photographer within punk and alternative spaces. From his work in the revered skateboarding magazine Thrasher and being a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Lakers to shooting AP’s WILLOW cover in 2021, Jefferson embodies the culture.
    “I am still always inspired by so much new skateboarding and photography,” he told AP, but whether he’s unveiling collaborations with Supreme or Modernica, music remains in the foreground.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Dexter Holland of The Offspring.
    The Offspring have been kicking around for four decades, but the band are celebrating a major milestone this year — the 30th anniversary of their mainstream triumph Smash, which remains the biggest-selling rock album released on an indie label.
    In a similar vein as Dookie, punk purists disregarded the band when they signed to Columbia following its release, but they’ve only grown in stature over the years.
    Now, the Orange County vets are readying their 11th studio album, Supercharged (out Oct. 11), which was produced by Bob Rock and continues their streak of writing punk hits.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Reggie Watts.
    Watts is an experimental comedian and musician whose improvised sets are created using just his voice, a keyboard, and a looping machine. Whether he’s beatboxing, pulling off deft impersonations, or switching into different languages, Watts takes pleasure in confusing everyone around him, never performing the same show twice.
    His surreal style has led him to several seasons on Comedy Bang! Bang!, guiding the house band for The Late Late Show with James Corden, and hosting the game show Taskmaster — injecting originality and oddness into everything he does.
    The comedian also has a new special, Never Mind, available to stream on Veeps, where he transports the audience back to the ’90s from LA’s Regent Theater.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by HARDY.
    Growing up in the small town of Philadelphia, Mississippi, HARDY was introduced to heavy music in high school. Soon, he fell in love with nü metal and metalcore, including System of a Down, Linkin Park, and August Burns Red.
    It’s all culminated in an overlap of country and hardcore within his own music, where HARDY has scratched out a unique space.
    His 2023 album, the mockingbird & THE CROW, was split into two halves — country and hard rock — the latter featuring a collaboration with A Day to Remember’s Jeremy McKinnon. Since then, it’s hit No. 1 on the Top Country Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Hard Rock Albums charts and rose to No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Lainey Wilson.
    Over the past decade, Wilson has blossomed into a bonafide country star. The Southern-bred singer has written tracks with Luke Combs, made her acting debut in Yellowstone (as well as had her songs featured on its soundtrack), and devised her own genre, “bell bottom country.”
    The sound combines Southern rock, soul, and a distinctly Nashvillian POV, where she now resides. That’s best heard on her latest album, Whirlwind, which continues to play with the boundaries of her sound and includes a wistful duet with Miranda Lambert.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Morgan Lander of Kittie.
    Kittie formed in London, Ontario during the late ’90s when the Lander sisters — Morgan and Mercedes — were teenagers.
    Near the turn of the millennium, the band unleashed their debut album, Spit, which explored hate, ignorance, and misogyny — and grew into their biggest-selling album.
    Earlier this year, Kittie made an explosive comeback with Fire, their first new album in 13 years, that reconciled with their nü-metal beginnings and sharpened their rage.

    After disbanding in 1996, Long Beach ska veterans Sublime reunited at this year’s Coachella — with Nowell filling in for his late father, Bradley.
    Between honoring his father’s legacy and creating his own futuristic songs as Jakobs Castle, Nowell has proved that he’s a talented musician who’s determined to keep rock ’n’ roll a family affair.
    He’s played a handful of shows in support of this year’s debut album, Enter: The Castle, has plans to revive old Sublime compositions, and gets into a nearly hour-long chat with Madden about his whirlwind year.

    Given that Violent J sat down with Madden last summer, it’s fitting that the other half of the Detroit horrorcore outfit joins the series — just in time to talk about Gathering of the Juggalos.
    Beginning in 2000, the annual festival acts like a modern-day Woodstock, bringing together a community of kindred spirits where “anything can happen — and quite often does.”
