Episodes
Track 4, incorrectly titled on all of the streaming services "These Scars Won't Heal Themselves." If nothing else, stick around for the end of the episode to hear a re-recording that Tyler and Rick put together in 2023. Rick switched up the lyrics and it turned out pretty cool.
Our very good friend Henry Menzel from the band Keep Flying joins us for this episode to talk about what it's like to be in a DIY touring band, how a real producer can really step up your sound, and all of the "yeah, yeah, yeah"s.
This was the first single off the album. I tried to write a pop-rock song. I think I actually pulled it off. Listen to us talk about Ross's upright bass contributions to the band, a fight that Troy and Rick had in the van, and who played guitar on which parts. Stick around for the end to hear a re-recording of Never Go Home in which Rick plays every horn in his house (yes, finally a version of Never Go Home with horns).
This week we finally start diving into the songs on My New Obsession, starting with Track 1, "Turn The Radio On." We talk about Ross's insanely complicated bass riffs, the addition of electronic beats to our songs, and Troy's driving yet unique drum beats. Stick around for the end of the episode to hear the never before released acoustic demo of this song and a live clip from Warped Tour 2005.
Here's part 2 of our conversation with founding guitarist Chris Holoyda about the origins of the band. This week we talk about our early days of touring, winning the Warped Tour Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, the beginnings of our long running friendship with the band Arrogant Sons of Bitches, and the song "Be With You" by Mr. Big.
Before getting into the album itself, the members of I Voted For Kodos discuss the formation of the band and their early pre-touring years.
