Jack opens up about the success the album has found since its release, how fans have embraced the entire record instead of just the singles, and why creating a complete listening experience has always been more important than chasing one viral song. From there, we dive into the creative process behind the album, discussing everything from concept records and cinematic storytelling to the bands and albums that influenced his approach.

Along the way, we also explore topics like cancel culture, the importance of allowing people to grow, the art of leaving room for listener interpretation, and why some of the most meaningful stories are the ones that aren't spelled out for the audience.

Whether you've already spent time with A World I Was Never A Part Of or you're hearing about 157frq for the first time, this episode offers an inside look at one of the year's most thoughtful heavy records and the creative mind behind it.

This time, we talk about the band's incredible rise over the past few years, touring arenas with Bring Me The Horizon, what success has changed (and what it hasn't), Landon’s growing role as one of the scene's top producers, and why authenticity in heavy music still matters more than ever.

We also get into one of the biggest debates in modern live music, discuss what's next for The Plot In You, and, as always, end up going down a few unexpected fun tangents.

After a few months away, the legendary co-host returns for a long-overdue reunion episode, and it's like he never left. Ian and Jake catch up on everything that's happened since the break, from weddings and new setups to World Cup madness, USA!, and the beautiful chaos that only this duo can create.

Of course, they dive into the Scene as well, discussing Warped Tour, From First to Last's new era, Caleb Shomo's non-music headline, Senses Fail drama, THERAPY IS FOR WOMEN (🤪), and plenty of the unfiltered opinions you may have come to expect.

No scripts. No reviews. Just two old friends getting back behind the microphones and reminding everyone why they ended as the best in the Scene 🤘

In this episode, Brian dives deep into the origins of Paddock Park, from the band's early days in the Florida scene and connections to A Day To Remember to the creation of A Hiding Place for Fake Friends and the unexpected events that led to his removal from his own band. Along the way, he shares never-before-heard stories about MySpace-era promotion, touring, record deals, and the realities of navigating the scene as a young musician.

Brian also discusses his decision to bring Paddock Park back with Tragic Hero nearly two decades later, his remarkable personal transformation, and what fans can expect from the band's future. For longtime scene fans, this is a fascinating look behind one of the era's most beloved underground releases 🤘

Seth, Andrew, and Blake stop by for a long-overdue conversation that somehow manages to be equal parts Scene history lesson, therapy session, and fun hangout.

We dive into the band's evolution from the early days through lineup changes, the unexpected way Seth ended up stepping into the frontman role, and how what could have been a disaster actually became the version of Light The Fire fans know today. We also get into ‘Death Won't Be The End Of Me’ (Parts 1 and 2), its long journey through pandemic delays, independent releases, recording with Beau Burchell of Saosin, and how the entire album slowly transformed into something much bigger than originally planned.

We also talk about songwriting, blending melodic hardcore and metalcore influences, collaborating as a full unit, the emotional weight behind some of the material, and why some songs hit a little harder than others. Along the way, we get into old school Scene energy, touring stories, features with Mike from No Bragging Rights and Sean from Decayer, shots on stage, and maybe even expose some secrets the band had been hiding all along…

There are laughs, some honest moments, and a few stories I definitely did not expect going into this one.

Light The Fire finally made it onto the show, and this conversation was worth every year of waiting 🤘

Zak opens up about sobriety, leaving OBE, creative burnout, starting over, and the formation of his new band, Foolish Things!

We also dive deep into the upcoming self-titled Foolish Things album, the band’s heavier direction, Dallas Scene history, touring, modern pop-punk frustrations, and unhinged side conversations we love to travel.

We get into A World I Was Never A Part Of, and this is not your typical surface-level album chat. This record came from years of grinding, real-life experiences, and finally putting something out that’s completely his. No chasing trends, no playing the game. Just raw, honest music that clearly hit harder than even he expected.

Jack opens up about where that comes from, too. We talk about growing up, dealing with isolation and bullying, and how those experiences shaped both the sound and the message behind the album. There’s a lot here about mental health, self-destruction, and trying to figure yourself out when you didn’t even think you’d make it this far.

We also get into how the album actually came together, including the moment he realized he finally found the sound, plus some behind-the-scenes on specific tracks that you’ll definitely hear differently after this.

We also go into past bands, internet nonsense, and some real talk about how people interact with music and each other now.

This one’s real. If you’ve connected with the album at all, you’re going to want to hear this conversation, and if you haven’t listened yet, now is the time 🤘

After 20 years, I finally sat down with Scott and Jay from one of my favorites, Sydney!

We get into everything. The full original lineup is somehow back together after all this time, what actually led to the band calling it quits back in 2009, and how much of it had to do with the Scene shifting versus label pressure and just straight up bad timing. There’s some real honesty about their second record not landing the way they wanted, and what it feels like to watch the sound you built your band on start getting passed by something heavier.

We also talk about the return, including the very “Sydney” move of coming back after two decades with a minute-and-a-half punk jam for no real reason at all… which, of course, has a deeper story behind it than you’d expect.

There’s a ton of Scene talk in here, too. Touring stories, how fast things changed in the mid-2000s, getting compared to bands they weren’t even trying to sound like, and what they were actually listening to when they wrote that first record. You may be surprised…

If you were there for this era, you’re going to feel this one. If you weren’t, this is one of those conversations that explains why it still matters. Funeral For A Friend is even mentioned!

Sydney is back 🤘

We get into the chaos behind the new release, locking in the real Torn Open lineup, and why Volume 2 hits harder, tighter, and way more cohesive than anything they’ve done before. Sofia breaks down her jump from drummer to frontwoman, the trial-by-fire approach to learning harsh vocals, and the real struggle of keeping your voice alive when you’re pushing it to the limit.

We also get into touring madness, band chemistry that somehow doesn’t implode in hotel rooms (and hopefully not in a van), and a refreshingly honest take on where deathcore is right now…including a few opinions that some of you may not agree with (tune in and find out) 🤘

It’s fun, it’s chaotic, it’s honest… and yeah, this is exactly why long-form conversations still matter 🤘

From there, we go full music-nerd, full scene talk, full rant mode activated. We get into writing songs around synths and atmosphere instead of just chugging for the sake of chugging, why groove matters more than technical flexing, why so many bands right now sound the same, and why live shows have started to feel like watching people stand in front of their own backing tracks. We also talk touring, the weird middle ground LEVELS is in right now, where they sound like they should already be playing bigger stages but still have to grind like a newer band, and what it actually takes to stand out in a scene that constantly says it wants something different but keeps rewarding the same thing over and over. This is a really fun conversation with a really thoughtful guest, and definitely one of those conversations where you can tell the band isn’t just throwing songs at the wall and hoping TikTok picks one 🤘

Mike and I catch up on everything that’s happened since the last time he was on the show, going even farther back than the I Won’t Survive era when Convictions had just gone independent after their time on InVogue, and how things have changed now that the band is touring behind The Fear of God. We talk about what life is really like as a DIY band in 2026, balancing touring, teaching vocals, songwriting work, and all the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes into keeping a band alive when you’re not relying on a label to do it for you.

We also discuss lineup changes over the last few years, how the current version of Convictions came together, why the band is comfortable touring without a bassist, and how the writing process for The Fear of God pushed things heavier while still keeping the emotional side that the band has always had. Mike talks about experimenting more with production, adding different sounds without losing what makes the band feel real, and why he still wants the live show to sound like a live band, not just a wall of tracks.

From there, we get into one of those classic IUSS conversations about the metalcore scene, how some of the older MySpace-era influences seem to be coming back around, and why it’s interesting to see younger bands picking up sounds that never really went away for Convictions. We also talk about touring with Wolves At The Gate and Demon Hunter, and how being on the road with bands that have been doing this for years can turn into more life conversations than music.

We finish up talking about the deluxe version of The Fear of God, the extra songs that got added later, new material that’s already being worked on, and what the future could look like for Convictions as they keep building without slowing down.

And after seeing the show live that night, I can say this for sure: if this tour is coming anywhere near you, go see Wolves At The Gate and Convictions. Both bands sounded huge, the energy was there the whole night, and this lineup is definitely worth showing up early for 🤘

I finally sit down with Joshua Calhoun of Whether, I to talk Dreamcatcher in 2013, signing to InVogue, rewriting Catalyst, bringing in features like Johnny Craig and Myka, Relocate, touring nonstop while working full-time jobs, and how label contracts, lineup shifts, and real life hits led to the band calling it quits in 2016.

Then we get into the Whether, I resurrection. Moving On in 2021. Building toward Good Enough. The raw emotion behind Goodbye. The old school dual-vocalist chaos and growing up without losing the heavy.

If you lived through Myspace-era metalcore, love true dual-vocalist bands, and ever wondered what really happened to Whether, I, this is the episode for you.

The episode opens with candid discussion about recent health struggles, recovery, and the challenge of staying creative through difficult stretches before shifting into deeper talk about songwriting inspiration, the evolution of Turtle Tea Party, and how different projects emerge from distinct emotional and musical spaces.

Ian and Al also reflect on early MySpace-era influences, underground post-hardcore culture, long-held demos finally seeing release, and the surreal full-circle moments that come with collaborating with longtime inspirations. The conversation expands into touring memories, photography, travel in Japan, and the realities of surviving as an independent artist in today’s music landscape.

It’s reflective, personal, and deeply rooted in the Scene spirit that defines the Conversation Editions.

Note: There were some technical audio issues at the beginning where Al’s microphone had to be changed, which was addressed 🤘

The guys kick things off with some classic banter before diving into Scene Grammy talk, which honestly doesn’t take long since the Grammys hate our music and we hate them right back. From there, it’s business as usual with a Radke Roundup, Breakdown From The Past, and a full slate of Scene Reviews!

This week’s reviews include
• Trash Boat
• Our Mirage
• Cold Blood AU
• As The Structure Fails

There are also thoughts on Tommy Vext, formerly of Bad Wolves (dumb), plenty of Scene jokes, and a real, honest conversation about mental health to close things out. We’re all going to miss Jake, so make sure you soak in every second of this episode.

Ian and Jake of Mind The Drive and Pyro, Ohio, bundle up, chatter their teeth, and attempt to survive the weather long enough to bring you all the Scene news you need to stay warm.

Naturally, the episode kicks off with elite-tier weather banter because nothing screams Scene like complaining about the cold. From there, the guys dive headfirst into a packed episode featuring a major Radke Roundup, The Bunny The Bear jumping on the Ian Scene bandwagon again, and plenty of classic tangents along the way.

Then it’s time for Scene Reviews, including releases from:

• Glamour Of The Kill
• Crystal Lake
• Megadeth
• Poppy
• Pine Creek Academy
• Goldfinger
• Elwood Stray
• Ham Radio

And just when you think the episode is done, the guys drop a major announcement that will affect the show moving forward…

Ian’s Untitled Scene Show returns once again with Ian and Jake of Pyro, Ohio, and Mind The Drive, and the Scene discussions are heavy this week.

The guys dig into Avenged Sevenfold’s current view of their music and why it’s mostly misguided and self-indulgent. They also tackle the unexpected return of Austin Carlile after nearly nine years, bringing honest discussion, context, and strong opinions for something the Scene definitely doesn’t need in 2026.

Of course, it would not be an IUSS episode without banter, tangents, and real Scene talk. Along the way, the guys highlight a great week of new releases with in-depth reviews of:

• I Promised The World
• The Funeral Portrait
• Ov Sulfer
• Ghost Kill
• Repriever

There’s a lot to unpack this week, a lot to debate, and a lot of Scene worth talking about. You should probably stop reading and start listening.

Ian is back with Jake of Pyro, Ohio & Mind The Drive, and the chaos is fully in gear. New studio. Real life talk. Sports (somehow). And then… the wheels come off.

An extended Radke Roundup dives headfirst into a possible Ronnie catfish scandal involving:
• Tommy Lee’s spouse
• Methods of Mayhem nostalgia
• and a guy from the actual show, Catfished

Then it’s actual Scene business with fresh reviews from:
First and Forever, Victim Complex, Locator, Lionheart, and the long-awaited return of Lower Definition 🤘

AND… because we’re nothing if not consistent… Breakdown From The Past is BACK!

Welcome to the last episode of Ian’s Untitled Scene Show of 2025 🤘
Jake of Pyro, Ohio (???) joins Ian once again, and yes, there might be a big announcement that could rock the Scene straight to its metal…core (We’re not apologizing for that joke)

With the Scene unusually quiet for the holidays, Ian and Jake let the banter breathe on this one. It’s loose, unstructured, and exactly what a year-ender should be. Ian breaks in the new studio, Jake is still podcasting with a broken computer, and together they wrap up 2025 the only way they know how…honestly.

Ian and Jake recap 2025 by highlighting the best releases of the year, and no, this is not a lazy Top 10 list like a Scene poser would do. This is over 100 AMAZING RELEASES worth your time. Because the Scene is deeper than whatever the algorithm, TikTok, or certain YouTube personalities say it is 🤘

They don’t just like what the Scene says is “popular” (cough cough Nik 👀). They like what’s actually good. And since honesty is kind of their whole thing, you’ll also get the WORST of 2025, because some releases absolutely earned the title!

Oh — and yes — Nik’s sham “awards” show takes its annual beating:
Will it be Sleep Token?
Will it be Bad Omens?
😴😴😴

There’s a LOT to talk about, because no matter how rough, weird, or downright shitty 2025 may have been, it also delivered incredible bands and killer releases that deserve to be promoted and celebrated properly!

And let’s be honest — Ian and Jake are the only ones you should trust to do it 🤘

Still original.

Still honest.

Still the Scene.

Ian kicks things off with a mixed-bag concert review (was it good? bad? emotionally confusing? you’ll see…), and then it's that time of year again…
Spotify Wrapped, baby!

From there, the flood of Scene drama begins:

New tour announcements

Eddie Trunk agrees with Ian (as if it hasn’t happened before)

AI beef with Architects

Sleep Token STILL sucks (Ian & Jake remain the only honest men in media)

PRESIDENT plays their first U.S. show

Brian B might be permanently uninvited from the show?!?! 😱

And that’s STILL not everything, because this week features another pile of Scene review fire:

🔥 Scene Reviews Include:

Upon A Burning Body

Set For Tomorrow

TesseracT

VEXHC

Alera

Jawlines

The Undertaking!

By the way, if you're faint-hearted, thin-skinned, get offended by jokes, or can’t handle people calling out POSERS & FAKES, then this ain’t the “holiday” special for you 🤘

This time, Ian converses with multi-talented musician, writer, illustrator, and returning friend of the show: Steven Juliano (I Am Ghost, Requiem, My Immortal Enemy, Dear Mother Bones)!

Without giving away too much (because spoilers are for AI), Steven dives into his brand-new, upcoming novel, Dear Mother Bones, what it’s like to write and illustrate his first full novel, the brutal reality of creating art in an AI-invading world, and how the process is pushing him creatively.

But don’t worry, Scene faithful, Ian and Steven absolutely get into the music side too. They talk I Am Ghost, My Immortal Enemy, and what the future holds for both projects… including why 2026 might be a huge year for Steven.

If you love great conversations, great creators, and great Scene history, this is one you won’t want to miss.
Tune in, Scene up, and enjoy the ride 🤘

A brand-new, heartwarming installment of The Radke Roundup™

pulses.

When I Say Jump

Don’t worry, though, no costumes, no candy, just Scene 🤘

Jake. Is. Back.
After some time away killing it in Pyro, Ohio, Jake Ohio returns to Ian’s Untitled Scene Show, and he’s brought gifts. The guys kick things off with a story from Ian that you definitely won’t see coming before a track-by-track breakdown of Pyro, Ohio’s brand new EP Where Do You Find Yourself?

But that’s not all. The Radke Roundup™ makes its triumphant return, there’s plenty of Scene news, a few legendary tangents, and the always-honest Scene reviews you come for week after week. This time, they’re breaking down new music from:

Pyro, Ohio (as mentioned) 🔥

Sink With Me 🌊

Silly Goose 🦢

Get ready for laughs, deep dives, and unfiltered Scene truth. The original Scene is still the real Scene…and this episode proves it 🤘

This week’s episode packs all the Scene energy you can handle:
🤘 A deep dive into Mind The Drive’s brand new music video
🤘 Ian’s New Orleans stories (but not ALL the stories…)

Ian may be a little SCATTERBRIANED™ (get it?) this week, but that just means more tangents, more chaos, and more Scene honesty. The guys kick off with censorship talk and even a bit of Superman before diving headfirst into all the Scene madness:

🤘 Live music talk + band promos
🤘 Fake Atreyu still refuses to die (rolls eyes)
🤘 Skid Row desperately in need of a vocalist (Danny…?)
🤘 HUGE FROM FIRST TO LAST news!

And then it’s time for a stacked lineup of reviews:
🎧 nothing,nowhere.
🎧 The Paradox
🎧 ded
🎧 Vanna
🎧 Soulkeeper
🎧 Many Eyes
🎧 Kittle
🎧 American Television
🎧 …and of course, I Prevail. What does Ian’s buddy Brian B think of it? No one knows (or cares)…so, we’ll tell you what WE think!

All that plus even more Scene savagery. Tune in to the one true Scene show shining the only real light on the Scene 🤘

Plus: Maybe a big announcement at the end of the episode…

🤘 Ian kicks things off with a brand new project featuring Jake (no spoilers, you’ve gotta hear it yourself).
🤘 Scene news: Cartel, Primer 55, another spicy Radke Roundup™, and maybe (just maybe) the final nail in the coffin of fake Atreyu… though let’s be real, probably not.

Here’s what’s inside:
⚡ The collab heard ‘round the very, very niche Scene: Poppy, Courtney, and Amy (my goodness!)
⚡ Another Radke Roundup™ because the drama literally never sleeps
⚡ Ian’s buddy Brian B (ex–I Prevail) is out here embarrassing himself… again…
⚡ The VMAs—what the WHAT?!?! Who let this happen again, and why are they covering it?

And because it wouldn’t be a Scene show without ripping into new music, they’re reviewing fresh albums from:
🎧 ten56.
🎧 blessthefall
🎧 Belmont
🎧 Fleshwater
🎧 Tallah
🎧 La Dispute
🎧 …and somehow Modern Life Is War snuck into the mix?!

PLUS: a brand-new bit kicks off this week (because one running joke is never enough)

Then it’s straight into the Scene goods:
⚡ The Radke Roundup™ continues with more fallout from the Radke vs. Fantano feud (never-ending…)
🎧 New music reviews for Kingdom Of Giants, Designer Disguise, and lowheaven
🔥 Extra Scene stories and surprises you definitely won’t see coming

This week introduces a soon-to-be classic segment: The Radke Roundup™ (name pending, lawsuits inevitable). The guys dig into:
⚡ News from Jesus Piece
😱 Ian’s buddy Brian B (formerly of I Prevail) can’t release his new music (oh no, what a tragedy)
🎧 New album reviews from Deftones, Three Days Grace, We Came As Romans, and Woe, Is Me

And, of course, plenty of tangents, jokes, and brutally honest Scene talk you won’t hear anywhere else.

Yes, Jake’s (of Pyro, Ohio), because apparently everyone always agrees with him… so Ian’s just handing him the keys for now. The guys kick things off with some life banter (featuring The Lost Well and the beach saga), before diving into this week’s Scene chaos.

They hit quick reviews of new albums from As December Falls, Justice For The Damned, Rise Against, and Chevelle, then pivot to some wild Scene chatter: a laughably bad Top 10 Rock Songs of the Last 25 Years list, the leaked NIN rider, and a deep dive into the Boundaries headliner Ian caught this weekend. That show led to an intense breakdown of “crowdsurfing” after a brutal incident that left everyone rethinking the pit.

If you like your Scene talk served with tangents, hot takes, and firsthand accounts from actual live shows, this is the only Scene roundup that matters. Tune in, hit play, and throw the horns 🤘

This week, Ian and Jake deliver another Scene-packed episode loaded with tangents, savagery, and brutally honest takes. They dive deep into the Radke vs. Fantano lawsuit, the ever-growing World vs. Radke saga — complete with puppets, a new song, and a fresh collab that has the normies buzzing.

After a few signature detours, the guys get into brand-new album reviews from Dreamwake, BABYMETAL, Thousand Below, DONEFOR, Dropout Kings, and the poser cover band Attack Attack!. Will this finally be the moment the impostors show some real talent…? Yeah, sure…

Packed with laughs, truth, and more Scene snark than your favorite show could ever handle — so why bother with the knock-offs? Skip the middleman and join the party 🤘

Ian’s hurt—this time not just emotionally—but the Scene stops for no man, so the show must go on. 💪🎧🤘

This week:
📢 Live Nation says Rock is NOT dead (and we say “show us the proof”)

This episode is stacked like a Chiodos chorus:
🕯️ A tribute to the newly crowned King of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne
📀 A spicy debate on the trend of rerecording albums—cough, cough, Chiodos
🎪 Full Warped “Tour” 2025 Long Beach breakdown, including:
– Scene drama from the second fest date
– Asking Alexandria’s Long Beach vs. DC performances
– Did Danny kowtow? Did the other podcasts get it right? (Spoiler: lol nope)

Plus:
⚔️ Breakdown From The Past, PSYCHO-FRAME’s new album Scene news, and more Warped chaos than your sunscreen-soaked Vans wristband can handle.

Listen now for the most brutally honest roundup in the Scene. If your favorite band’s feelings get hurt, tell them to rerecord their podcast too 😈
