Inside Music Podcast #169: Static-X (Tony Campos)

Discussing everything from Wisconsin Death Trip to the legacy of Wayne Static, Static-X bassist Tony Campos stops by Inside Music to share his unique journey in music.

Most artists dream of writing one song that captures the attention of other people. If they can accomplish that, those same artists may dream of doing it again, and again, until one day they release an album. That album will determine the trajectory of their career, as will everything that happens after the record is in stores. There are no guarantees in music. The most successful artists know this is true, and they never forget it.

Static-X did not plan on being together in 2019. If you could return to 1994 and tell the four-piece metal band a record they would release in 1999 would become an iconic piece of work they would probably laugh. Wisconsin Death Trip is a gem of the industrial metal genre. Two decades after its release, people are still falling in love with the album’s hard-hitting sound.

In 2014, Static-X unexpectedly lost founding member and vocalist Wayne Static. The news hit hard with fans and members alike, leading many to believe the band was as good as dead. Five years later, however, the group is back in action.

The Wisconsin Death Trip twentieth-anniversary tour is currently entertaining sold-out crowds across America. Static-X has not replaced Static. Instead, the band is collaborating with a mysterious vocalist called Xer0 who wears a Static mask on stage. The vocals are similar enough to embody the spirit of the original material, all while keeping the legacy of Static front and center.

Recently, Static-X bassist Tony Campos sat down with Inside Music host James Shotwell to discuss the band’s unlikely reunion. Campos revealed the hard work that went into the band’s new tour, as well as the group’s plans to continue celebrating Static’s life through music. You can stream the conversation below.

Selfish Things is the latest guest on Inside Music Podcast

Canada’s Selfish Things has been making waves in music for a little over two years, and in the episode of Inside Music, we learn how they did it.

It is the dream of every artist to write a song that sends their career into the stratosphere. Every creative believes they are capable of creating something that changes everything in their life, but only a few discover they were right. Selfish Things is one of the lucky few who can claim life changed quickly, and today we’re going to discuss the band’s journey at length with the man who knows it better than anyone else, Alex Biro.

In just two short years, Alex Biro has made his van home and captured the attention of untold thousands around the world. Selfish Things, his musical brainchild, found an audience almost immediately, and life has not slowed down since he first shared music online back in 2017. Biro’s music speaks to the universal sense of sadness we all feel in our souls, and his choice to recognize what so many artists attempt to ignore has attracted people from all walks of life to support his vision of a more open global community.

Recently, Biro sat down with Inside Music host James Shotwell while in West Michigan to help the world understand Selfish Things. Biro told James about traveling North America, working on his debut album, and balancing family life with the demands of an ever-changing world.

The future of marketing: The Pixies are promoting their new record with a limited series podcast

With the launch of It’s A Pixies Podcast, a limited series program, the long-running indie rock group offers a glimpse at the future of music promotion.

Podcast‘ may be the most significant buzzword in music this year. Not only has the format been accused of encroaching on a form of entertainment previously reserved for music and audiobooks, but streaming services Spotify and Apple Music have been investing heavily in promoting notable shows, as well as creating exclusive podcast content.

According to MusicOOMPH, 71% of Americans are familiar with the term ‘podcast,’ and a little over half of the population has listened to a podcast. There are currently 700,000 active podcasts boasting a combined catalog of 29 million episodes, and that figure is going to grow substantially in the latter half of 2019.

The world of podcasting has already proven beneficial for many performers. Comedians in particular have found the freedom of expression podcasting allows as a way to engage their audience between specials and promote tour dates. Musicians can and should see view podcasts the same way. In a time when everyone wants more from everything they love all the time, podcasts present an opportunity to continually offer new content without rushing to release songs or records before they’re complete.

A press release this week announced that one group, iconic indie rock band The Pixies, is ready to embrace podcasts and the numerous possibilities it can offer. The band is promoting their upcoming record by sharing a limited, twelve episode series that documents the creation of the record and the conflicts that arise during production. The podcast is hosted and narrated by New York Times best-selling author Tony Fletcher who was with the band during throughout the creative process.

The full press release reads:

Good morning! “It’s A Pixies Podcast,” Pixies’ 12-episode series, makes its debut today and we hope you’ll check it out. It’s now live on all podcast platforms including Apple, Pandora, Acast, Stitcher, Google and more. The podcast is hosted and narrated by New York Times best-selling author Tony Fletcher who was embedded with the band and producer Tom Dalgety while the new album, Beneath The Eyrie, was recorded last December at Dreamland Studios near Woodstock, NY.  The podcast provides a real fly-on-the-wall perspective of not just the recording, but of the interaction between the band members and Dalgety, while tracking in the main room or making a cup of tea in the kitchen. Beneath The Eyrie will be released on September 13 (BMG).

You can stream It’s A Pixies Podcast wherever you enjoy podcasts. The band’s new album, Beneath The Eyrie, will hit stores in September.

Artists at any level can get into podcasting, and they should. You don’t have to talk about your music. You don’t even have to talk about music in a general sense. Find something you’re passionate about and share that interest with your fans. It can be daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or whatever works for you. As long as you’re having fun, your fans will enjoy the experience, and they will come away from each episode feeling more connected to you. That connection translates to more engagement, more purchases, and more support.

Inside Music Podcast #166: Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown

Notable rock and roll star Tyler Bryant stops by Inside Music to discuss success and survival in the modern music business.

What makes someone a rockstar? Previous generations would say a rockstar is someone whose song is on the radio at all times of the day, whose face is plastered on bedroom walls of teenagers everywhere, and whose very existence often appears to straddle the line between reality and myth. Rockstars were, for a long time, more than human. They were Gods who blessed devoted rock listeners with songs meant to lift them from the mundanity of modern existence and give them a few minutes of sweet relief.

Today’s rockstars are a decidedly different breed. Rock is no longer the dominant force in music, and even the biggest stars of today must compete for airplay against the reigning champs of the genre. For every new group that finds themselves in rotation at a notable station, there are dozens of ‘must play’ catalog songs they have to compete against for airplay. The same goes for playlists, festivals, and touring.

Tyler Bryant is arguable the closest thing to a classic rockstar we have in the world of reasonably new music. Though he has been active since 2009, Byrant has consistently been labeled a ‘star on the rise’ by major publications around the world. He and his band, The Shakedown, have opened for everyone in the genre that matters. They’ve spent a year with Guns ‘N Roses, rubbed shoulders with Foo Fighters, and even found themselves mentioned by members of Aerosmith as being one of their favorite acts.

Furthermore, Tyler Bryant never slows down. If he’s not on the road, Bryant is in the studio, and as soon as he’s done in the studio he returns to the road. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown is an unstoppable force in a world where rock bands are often considered a dying breed, and they refuse to give up their passion no matter what cultural analysts and tastemakers claim.

Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown’s latest release, Truth And Lies, celebrates the crossroads of rock and blues with a catchiness that is impossible to deny. It’s a fitting break from the repetition found throughout the industry, and it heralds the dawn of a return to form for rock purists everywhere.

On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, rock and roll savior Tyler Bryant stops by to discuss his decade-long career on the cusp of superstardom. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown have opened for every living rock legend, and along the way, they’ve learned how to build a lasting career in the treacherous world of entertainment. Host James Shotwell asks Tyler about his experiences, as well as his advice for the next generation of music stars.

Inside Music Podcast #155: The Maine

John O’Callaghan, the vocalist for a band called The Maine, is appearing for the first time on a podcast called Inside Music.

The idea of community is at the heart of every great music career. Be it something cultivated by the artist(s) themselves or by their fans at large, having a sense of community can help give any career longevity. People love to feel as though they belong, and few bands in the alternative community have done a better job of making people feel welcome in the world than a group from Arizona known as The Maine.

For over a decade now, The Maine has been a band that straddled the line between pop and rock with sugary-sweet melodies and lyricism that isn’t afraid to address the darker side of life. Their seventh studio album, You Are OK (out March 29), is no exception. Every song on the record is bursting with hopefulness in spite of reality. It’s a collection of tracks that dare to acknowledge the mental abyss that drags down so many and demands we fight to resist its call. You Are OK is the album the world needs right now, and The Maine is the only group that could deliver it.

On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, host James Shotwell calls The Maine vocalist John O’Callaghan to discuss his band’s latest album. John tells James about the creation of the record, as well as his band’s participation in the upcoming Sad Summer traveling music festival. From there, the conversation turns to longevity in the industry and how other artists can follow in the steps of The Maine.

Inside Music Podcast #152: Of Mice & Men

Aaron Pauley and Valentino Arteaga from Of Mice & Men discuss how their band is evolving to stay relevant in a quickly changing industry on our latest podcast.

Metalcore is a fickle genre where many acts rise and fall overnight. Of Mice & Men has endured the changing trends of the industry for more than a decade, and the group show no signs of quitting anytime soon. Their latest single, “How To Survive,” speaks to this mindset in a rather tongue-in-cheek manner. Check it out:


Name something that threatens to break bands and this group has not only faced it, but emerged on the other side of the storm stronger than before. Of Mice & Men know what it’s like to take to steps forward and one step backwards. They know how losing a member or two can threaten to undo everything that has been built. More importantly, they know how to use the lessons learned from the past to inform future decision making, and that has made all the difference in the trajectory of their career.

On this episode of Inside Music, host James Shotwell sits down with Aaron Paul and Valentino Arteaga from Of Mice & Men at 20 Monroe Live in Grand Rapids, MI to talk about all things music. Aaron and Valentino discuss their group’s recent recording efforts, the legacy of their band, and how they’re evolving to embrace changing trends in the industry at large. The pair also tell us about their new single, “How To Survive,” and how it relates to everything else the band has planned for the months ahead.

Whether you dream of standing on stage in front of thousands or working with the biggest stars of tomorrow, these podcasts will give you a leg up in the music business.

We’ve talked a lot about podcasts on our blog as of late, and for a good reason. The audience for podcasts is booming, and the content being created by brilliant minds from around the world is second to none. For no cost whatsoever, anyone can tune into a podcast and learn something about topics that interest them, laugh with the biggest names in entertainment, or lose themselves in a completely irreverent conversation about nothing shared between close friends.

Competition in music is fiercer than ever, which means the professionals of tomorrow need to take advantage of every opportunity for education they are able to right now in order to surpass their peers. Thankfully, aspiring musicians and business folk alike no longer need a college degree to learn about the realities or working in music or the work required to succeed. There are tons of podcasts covering those same subject for free with new episodes released weekly, and many feature guests that help to create a more fully-realized picture of life in the entertainment industry today.
