Robert Burke Warren (or RBW) is quite possibly, one of the most interesting men I've ever had the pleasure of speaking to on this podcast.

To quote RBW "Music is the highest form of communication" and we utilize this podcast to communi...

Travis has been playing music for about 30 years. Piano lessons started at 6 until the instrument became uncool at the age of 11. Then it was classical guitar, which wasn’t loud enough. Then it was bass, which was fun for a while, but proved to be difficult to use as a writing instrument. Finally, Travis found his way to the electric guitar (keys have been given a second chance) and the creation of hundreds of songs since the mid 9...

Texas-born Garrett Owen had a musical awakening at age 14 that manifested as an intense desire to learn guitar and an insatiable love for all things heavy metal. Eventually, he began exploring other genres, diligently saving his weekly allowance to afford mail-order CDs to satisfy his typical childhood curiosity. But, Owen’s childhood was anything but typical.

Instead of Little League and sleepovers, Owen’s earliest memories involv...

Dead Vinyl is a fantastic rock & roll band from Ft. Worth, TX. They will draw you in with their powerhouse sound on hits such as "Till the Cosmos Fall" and then comfort you with the soft melodic sounds of newer songs such as "Let Love Do".

I'd be lying if I told you that Dead Vinyl are not friends of mine. The truth is, I've known these guys a very long time and was ecstatic to finally get to record a podcast episode with them. Dea...

Davy Baysinger, lead singer of Bleach, closes out the Volume today with his career retrospective. I was very excited for this episode because Bleach headlined the first ever concert I saw! Known for their infectious energy and ability to be the "fun band" Bleach sought to bridge the gap between Christianity and Rock & Roll.

This was their truth, and it built them a loyal following.

Eventually deciding to part ways with the Christian music trappings they set out to forge their own path. What followed has be...

Sparrow Records took a chance on Adam LaClave and his group 'Earthsuit' when they signed them to a record deal. There was nothing that sounded like Earthsuit on the label and hardly anything else within all of Christian music which compared. Adam was ahead of his time, trying to make epic alternative music while struggling with his own views on Spirituality as well as his Sexual Orientation. What followed was a fascinating journey ...

Hawk Nelson, Earthsuit, The Elms, Bleach.

For a vast majority of Millennials in America these bands were in their car's 6 disc CD changer at one point or another. Back before worship music was the standard go-to for Christian bands these groups sought to transcend the "Christian Music" trappings and become simply known for being a: Punk Band, Alternative Band, or simply a Rock & Roll band,

Bowling for Soup are one of the most iconic groups to come out of the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area, period.

Ok, I may be a bit biased but seriously, their fan base has been named one of the top 10 of all time! That doesn't just happen, but is it any wonder that a band as scrappy as Bowling for Soup would have anything other than loyal fans?

I was so fortunate to get to talk to Jaret Reddick about his experiences in music, how Bowling ...

Xenia was on Season 1 of The Voice, back in 2011 when we weren't sure if this show was going to make it or not.
