#508 - Josh Scogin (’68)

’68 frontman Josh Scogin is our guest this week on The MetalSucks Podcast! We discuss the new album Yes And… that is out right now, including how its title is based on the improv technique and how improv plays a part in the band’s music and live performance. Apart from the new music, we also discuss his preferred method to address confrontation in modern times, how to adapt to conversations where people that you disagree with see you as an enemy, and the problem with presenting facts from unreliable sources to win arguments. There's also some chat about frustrating moments during the pandemic and touring with Thrice as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Artist and The Ambulance. Petar and Sylvia discuss the “On The Road Again” program by Live Nation, the response by NIVA on what this will do to independent music venues, Greg Puciato’s claims on the money on the table for a Dillinger Escape Plan reunion, Ben Weinman shooting this claims down as false and hinting at some possible tension between its ex-members.
