  1. Cold Streets

    22 JAN

    Cold Streets

    In this episode, Tyler and Gary sit down with pop-punk band Cold Streets to talk about how the band formed out of longtime friendships, shared faith, and a love for early-2000s punk influences like MXPX, Relient K, and Blink-182. The band discusses their songwriting process, the making of their new single “Over and Over” and its music video, and how their sound naturally leans toward nostalgic, melodic punk. They also share plans for their first full-length album, reflect on what it means to be Christians in a band without labeling themselves a “Christian band,” and keep the conversation light with stories about tours, influences, and fandom moments.

    Core Values | 31 - New music, old music

    In this lively and deeply nostalgic episode of All Consuming Podcast, the hosts catch up on long-overdue shoutouts, swap hilarious stories (including one about a cat-poop-eating dog), and dive deep into the evolving landscape of Christian metal and hardcore music. The discussion weaves through classic pop-punk nostalgia with bands like Hawk Nelson to heavier sounds from bands like We Came As Romans, 6 feet deep, and Big Boy. The hosts reflect on how their tastes have changed—moving away from overproduced metalcore toward raw, emotional hardcore—and share a strong appreciation for the authenticity and grit in bands like The Wounds That Speak, a newer Christian metalcore band from Colorado with a powerfully gospel-centered message. Also highlighted are newer releases from Wolves at the Gate and Confessions of a Traitor, along with a nostalgic mention of Phinehas’ album The Fire Itself as a standout example of true modern metalcore. Expect laughs, laments, and lots of genre talk—plus a passionate encore shoutout to Six Feet Deep. If you’re a fan of raw, honest Christian heavy music, this episode is for you!
