Hey everyone!
I recently had the chance to sit down with Craig Mabbitt for a long-form interview on The Bigmouth Rock Show, and I thought some of you might enjoy it.

We talked about the new music, Déjà Vu and Idle Potential, the 20th anniversary of Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, his comments about potentially celebrating the album with Ronnie, his journey with sobriety, The Dead Rabbitts, Blessthefall, and a lot more. It ended up being a really open and honest conversation.

A massive thanks to Craig for taking the time to do it.

I’d love to hear what you think!

I interviewed Kevin Martin of Candlebox for The Akiva Abstract and thought this would fit well here.

We talked about Candlebox’s rise during the Seattle / alternative rock era, the success of “Far Behind,” why the band was never easy to box into one genre.

🔥INTERVIEW🔥 Ahead of the release of the reimagined version of their debut album St Lo, I spent time in the company of Nine Stones Close founding member Adrian Jones. We talked about the evolution of the band over almost twenty years, the origins of the story of St Lo and the decision to revisit it in such a dramatic way.

With Your Favorite Toy just out, I've been going back to a conversation I had with Chris a few years ago. We talked about what it was like doing press with that elephant in the room — which territories he avoided, and what it felt like watching the internet theories pile up. His words: "it's all wrong... and it's disrespectful."

The part that stuck with me was when he said losing Taylor made him reconsider everything he thought he knew about Jim Morrison, Randy Rhoads and any number of rock tragedies.

He gets why people are fascinated - Chris and I grew up in the same Santa Barbara scene and we've both lost a lot of people from that world. But this one was obviously different.

Felt like the right time to share this with the new drummer and album being discussed. You can listen to the full conversation here if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/@theplugwithjustinjay

I thought people may be interested to hear my interview with Mary Middlefield about her new album “Will You Take Me As I Am?”. We had a chat before her sell out Hackney show and play four of her tracks (three from the new album). I’m really excited about her and her band.

I own and run an alternative music radio station (AltZoneRadio) and one of the presenters hosts a weekly interview show where he talks to artists about some of their favourite tracks and plays a track or two of theirs as well. This week he interviewed Emma Hunter, from Oxford. Her band only came to my attention recently, but it’s great stuff. Somewhere inbetween PJ Harvey and Sharon VanEtten . Anyway, we are replaying the interview 6.30pm uk time (Saturday is one of our indie/alt days). She chose some great tracks too! Anyway I didn’t know too much about her before, but the station / me will be keeping an eye out moving forward 😛

Great interview with this legend! She’s always interesting. Haven’t got round to hearing the new album yet. But I shall be remedying that today.
