Radiou Interviews

The RIOT has finally found a band that they identify with: Paradise Now. Listen as they talk rugby, NFL, Top Gear, and managing to sneak into the United States for a tour!

The last time we talked to Kevin from Disciple he was driving a tour bus and trying to stay awake. This time, he's in the studio with the rest of the band talking about Panic Room (the movie), Panic Room (the song), and how it may be a little too late for Nascar jokes.

Matt from Spoken stops by... with new band members! This is our chance to meet JR and find out how he ended up in Spoken. There are rumors that it involved surgery and anesthesia but you'll have to confirm (or deny) the details in this RIOT exclusive. Sure, JR is in the band now, but is there any new music? We ask and find out about writing new music, demo'ing on the road, and what we can expect in the future!

Hulvey is brand new to the Reach Records Family and the RadioU Playlist. The RIOT catches up with him to find out where he got the idea to become a rapper, how he recorded his first songs, and what he has planned for this year!

Andy Mineo joins Hudson to tells us about his run-in with Ric Flair, the Winter Jam experience and what he has in store for 2020!

John Van Duesen doesn't just look like he's from the Northwest. He doesn't just sound like he's from the Northwest. He's from northern Washington (almost Canada!!!). The RIOT meets him for the first time and hears about his solo music, how he got started, and why he gets to tour Europe so much.

The RIOT gets a chance to meet Chris from Northlander. (He's also in Fallstar. It won't be that confusing, just keep listening.) We also find out he has a twin... or does he? Is Chris mentally creating another character? Does Northlander even exist outside of his mind? We get answers to those questions and find out how they got signed to Facedown and whether they have any plans to tour!

Who's knocking at the door? It's Brandon from Glasslands!! He stops in to talk about married life, where he left his ring... and who is this mysterious Creeps?

The RIOT gets to talk to one of their favorite artists: Krum. He tells us about working with Theory Hazit, interacting with fans, what he's reading, and what he really needs from fans.

The RIOT discovers a band that totally understand: they don't like the beach, they're afraid of sharks, and they try to lower people's expectations. At this point, Empty is practically family. Get to know Gary and get some behind-the-scenes info on Empty and how they're getting ready for their tour!

The RIOT talks to Russ T. Shipp from Rusty Shipp and breaks the cardinal rule: they ask about the band's name (how could you not!?!?!). We find out where they came from and what exactly nautical rock is.

Paradise Now is from the UK... that's just England right? WRONG! Paradise Now tells us where they are from, what they want to be called, and where we might see them this fall.

The RIOT gets a chance to catch up with the Epic Sherrod White! What has he been up to musically for the last few years? When can we expect a new EP? What does his wife think of that manly beard of his? Let's find out!

LNYX has always been famous to The RIOT for their pool parties... but that's all gone now. They've upgraded to THE OCEAN. Yep, Scotty and Brit have moved to Florida where they spend their days and nights walking on the beach. We talk southern life and their new single: "Beauty in the Broken".

Graceful Closure is becoming Euvoia and Jared (and Bryce!!) comes by to give us the ins and outs of this new stage in his musical journey. We also find out where the name "Graceful Closure" comes from and where else we can find new music from Jared.

The RIOT gets a chance to talk to Disciple's new bus driver: Kevin? Yeah, it turns out that Kevin has been doing all the lead singing AND bus driving for the last few days! We also get a chance to talk about their new song 'Panic Room' and hear how Andrew from Project 86 ended up on the track!

Stephen from Wolves at the Gate joins The RIOT for an... interview? Is that what you call this? It's really just another round of Obadiah and Stephen taking shots at each other in a long running, hysterical feud. It's nonsensical... but it's funny!

Jen Ledger of LEDGER and Skillet joins Hudson to talk about pulling double duty on tour this summer, riding roller coasters at Spirit Song and parasailing in the Dominican Republic.

The guys from My Epic join Hudson in the studio to talk life in Louisville, working with Cory from Norma Jean and their new album Violence.

John Cooper of Skillet joins Hudson to talk about the new album "Victorious," their summer touring plans, and how Paul Rudd could factor into the Skillet movie-verse.
