Danko Jones on the Loaded Radio Podcast: Why Leo Rising is Just Another Page from the Motörhead Handbook

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 • Duration 27:08

n a candid interview with Loaded Radio, Danko Jones discusses the band's new album, Leo Rising (out November 21, 2025), and his commitment to the "recording, touring, writing, repeat" process, which he calls his "page out of the Motörhead handbook." We dive deep into how he managed the geographically separated recording with John Calabrese and Rich Knox, the blistering guest solo by Marty Friedman on "Diamond In The Rough," and how his deep, personal connection to KISS continues to fuel his career.

The frontman confirms the new album is "another serving of peerless hard-rock: bass, drums, guitar, vocals, no frills." The full podcast is embedded below, where he also talks about how he keeps the band's chemistry "tight, loud, and built for the stage" despite the distance.

Of Mice & Men on "Another Miracle": The Loaded Radio Podcast

Thursday, November 20, 2025 • Duration 35:16

Of Mice & Men have just dropped their ninth studio album, Another Miracle, and it is arguably their most personal record to date. In this week's episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast, frontman Aaron Pauley and drummer Tino Arteaga join us to discuss self-producing the new album, the launch of "Micespace," and why they refused to hire a big-name producer for this chapter of the band.

If you have been following the trajectory of Of Mice & Men, you know they don't do things by half-measures. From the metalcore explosion of the early 2010s to becoming a staple of modern hard rock, this Southern California quartet has survived lineup changes, health scares, and industry shifts. But with their ninth studio album, Another Miracle (out now via Century Media Records), they are doing something different: they are taking complete control.

This isn't just another press cycle. In this week's Loaded Radio Podcast, I sat down with vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley and drummer Tino Arteaga to dig deep into why they decided to write, produce, engineer, mix, and master this entire record themselves. No big-name producers. No outside writers. Just four guys in a room, pouring their lived experiences into a sonic weapon.

Dying Wish's Emma Boster Talks 'Flesh Stays Together' on the Loaded Radio Podcast

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 • Duration 31:50

Portland's metalcore titans Dying Wish have unleashed their monstrous new album, Flesh Stays Together. The album, produced by Will Putney (Knocked Loose), is a masterclass in brutality that solidifies the band's spot at the top of the genre.

This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast, Scott sits down with frontwoman Emma Boster for an in-depth conversation. We discuss the creation of the new album, the "ominous beauty" behind her clean vocals, the story behind that nightmarish album cover, and managing one of the biggest years of her life.

In the world of heavy music, there are bands that are "hot," and then there are bands that are a blazing inferno. Right now, Dying Wish is the inferno.

Following their acclaimed 2023 album Symptoms of Survival, the Portland, Oregon band has returned with Flesh Stays Together, a record that isn't just a follow-up—it's a statement of intent. This is the album that proves they are ready to follow their collaborators in Knocked Loose from the big rooms into the arenas.

At the heart of this sonic assault is vocalist Emma Boster. And this week, she joins the Loaded Radio Podcast for a can't-miss conversation.

Rob Damiani (Don Broco) & Brandon Saller (Atreyu) On New Albums And Pushing Heavier

Monday, March 30, 2026 • Duration 47:47

Rob Damiani of Don Broco and Brandon Saller of Atreyu join Loaded Radio to break down the mindset behind their latest albums, Nightmare Tripping and The End Is Not The End.

Both bands had momentum—and chose not to repeat it.

Damiani dives into the themes behind Don Broco's most unpredictable release yet, including the politically charged "True Believers," while Saller explains why Atreyu leaned into their heaviest sound to date and how writing sessions in Tokyo and total isolation shaped the record.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level promo. It gets into risk, identity, and why both bands decided to push forward instead of playing it safe.

If you've followed either band for years, this is the kind of insight you don't usually get.
