After a seven-year studio hiatus, CKY is recording new music. The band released “Can’t Stop Running” on Oct. 10, and drummer Jess Margera promises more singles soon.

Although fans are just now hearing them, the new songs started in the wake of Covid. Founding guitarist, producer, and now vocalist Chad I Ginsburg has written a ton of new material that the band has taken into the studio.

Outside of music, Margera is known for his role in the CKY videos and helping launch what would become Jackass. Unlike his younger brother Bam, Jess’s skating wasn’t on the level to compete professionally. So, drums became his career.

On the day before Thanksgiving, Jordan Edwards talked to Jess Margera about the band’s resurgance, the CKY Crew’s early days, and the impact his family has made on pop culture.

The LA-based band released their latest album WHERE HAVE ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GONE? in September followed by a European headline tour and U.S. dates with blink-182 and LetLive.

Riding the wave of pop-punk nostalgia, BSD is one of the leading new acts to grab the torch from the Y2K artists who inspired them.

In this episode, Demi Ramos and Jordan Edwards interview Colie Hutzler, Beepus, and Colton Flurry about the band’s origins, new album, DIY roots and being handpicked by blink-182 to open their arena shows.

In high school, Braison Cyrus imagined a career behind the camera, maybe in photography or filmmaking. As he entered adulthood, the family business came calling. He started with a few singles in 2020, followed by his debut album 'Javelina' in 2021.

His most recent single “Know This” is a collaboration with Miley released on September 5. It precedes his upcoming second album, due out in the spring.

Watch Braison Cyrus talk to Jordan Edwards and Demi Ramos about his transition into music, life in Nashville, and making music with his sisters.

Mudvayne was one of the most distinctive metal bands of the 2000s. Their music was brutal, their lyrics were emotional, and their visuals freaked out parents across America.

After more than 15 years, the metal legends are recording new music. They recently released “Sticks and Stones,” which follows their comeback single “Hurt People Hurt People.” Frontman Chad Gray can’t wait to create more.

The band is on tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their breakout album LD50. Between shows, Jordan and Demi talked to Gray about Mudvayne's rise, the legacy of Ozzfest, and getting back in the studio.

Ask any major pop-punk artist about their influences, and they’re likely to mention Descendents. From blink-182 to Green Day, generations of bands have benefited from their pioneering melodic hardcore.

Led by frontman Milo Auckerman, Descendents grew out of the Southern California punk scene that produced Germs, X, and The Go-Gos. Their debut album Milo Goes to College is a cornerstone of American punk, and subsequent releases laid the groundwork for bands like Jimmy Eat World, MxPx, and the Get Up Kids.

In this interview, Jordan and Demi talk to Auckerman and drummer Bill Stevenson about their friendship, favorite memories, influence on the culture, and fascinating lives outside of the band.

For more than 20 years, Chevelle has been one of the biggest bands in hard rock. Starting with their breakthrough album Wonder What’s Next, the Chicago trio has produced hits like “The Red,” “Send the Pain Below,” and “Face to the Floor.”

The band’s 10th studio album, Bright as Blasphemy, arrived August 15. The lead single "Rabbit Hole (Cowards, Pt. 1)" has already become a fan favorite.

In this episode of Jordan and Demi, frontman Pete Loeffler reflects on the band’s career, recording with Steve Albini, and what he’s learned about making music.

Over the past several years, Corbyn Besson has created a fanbase as a member of the boy band Why Don’t We. Now, he’s developing his own sound as a solo artist.

His throwback 2000s style stands out against a crowded field of male pop singers. He’s closer to Justin Timberlake than Alex Warren or Benson Boone. Recent singles “Love Me Better” and “Tied Up” have led to his biggest collab yet with R&B star Jeremih. Released on August 1, “Summer,” is an energetic pop anthem made for a sunset a drive with the windows down.

In this interview with Demi, Besson talks about this new phase of his career, his love for sports cars, and the experience of performing at Red Rocks with DJ duo Two Friends.

Fitz and The Tantrums released their sixth studio album Man on The Moon last week. Anchored by the lead single “Ruin the Night,” the album is full of alt pop anthems with booming Motown-inspired drums.

Over the years, hits like “Out of My League,” “I Just Wanna Shine” and “HandClap” have become part of pop culture. Even if you don’t follow the band, you’ve heard them in a TV show, movie, or commercial.

What makes the run more impressive is the path Fitz (Michael Fitzpatrick) took to get here. A professional musician for decades, he was in his late 30s when the band started and north of 40 when they scored a record deal.

In this interview with Jordan and Demi, Fitz talks about the band’s origin story, the making of Man on the Moon, and his undeniable stage chemistry with co-vocalist Noelle Scaggs.
