    The “Rock Star Lifestyle” Came Before the Band | Nick Troisi of Omen Skye

    Before Nick Troisi ever became the vocalist of Omen Skye, he spent years living what he calls the “rock-star lifestyle” without actually having the band. He joins Justin and Mike to talk about addiction, getting sober, learning to scream in his car and finally using the musical potential he thought he had wasted.Nick takes us through the whole path: getting cut from Chesapeake JV football, receiving his first guitar, using music to process his parents’ divorce, auditioning as a vocalist with two weeks of practice, surviving his first show and selling 84 tickets at Omen Skye’s second performance.They also get into the reality of building a metalcore band in 2026: management, promoters, PR, distribution, international listeners, expensive Instagram advertising, synchronized stage production and the deeply annoying requirement that every musician also become a content creator.Omen Skye’s new single “Vanquish” arrives August 28. They’ll be performing at Metro Gallery in Baltimore on September 13.Omen Skye links and “Vanquish” pre-save:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omenskyeband/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091131224729&mibextid=LQQJ4dYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCGnWKACBlO2nSmMJRsI59nQ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@omen_skye?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcVanquish: https://arsontheory.vyd.co/VanquishFollow Nick Troisi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadic_fanatic/Subscribe for new episodes of If This Doesn’t Work… every Monday at 9 AM.

    Steve Huber on 100.7 The Bay’s End, 98 Rock Stories & What Comes Next

    Steve Huber of 100.7 The Bay joins If This Doesn’t Work… for a long, honest conversation about Baltimore radio, growing up on a farm, starting at 98 Rock as an intern, becoming a music director, moving to 100.7 The Bay, and what happens when the station you helped build gets sold.Huber talks about the current situation at 100.7 The Bay, how the staff found out, what the final stretch feels like, and why he’s choosing to keep showing up instead of phoning it in. He also shares stories from 98 Rock, WHFS, record-label dinners, Chris Cornell, Metallica, bad interviews, therapy, fatherhood, stand-up comedy, and the weird emotional math of starting over at 49.This episode gets into local radio, reinvention, mental health, aging, imposter syndrome, and the difference between having to do something and getting to do it.Steve talks about growing up around Huber’s Farm and how that “agrotainment” experience helped him learn how to work with people before radio ever entered the picture. He also gets into starting at 98 Rock in 1998, eventually becoming music director, and later moving to 100.7 The Bay in 2017.The conversation also covers the sale of 100.7 The Bay, the staff being given time to finish the run, and Huber’s perspective on treating the final weeks like “the last games of the season” instead of mailing it in.Follow Steve Huber: Radio: 100.7 The Bay 6-10 a.m.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shuber100.7/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@shuber100.7Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Huber98/Follow the Podcast:📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifthisdoesntworkpodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==🎵 TikTok Main: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejustintimee?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc🎵 TikTok Clips: https://www.tiktok.com/@itdw_clips?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcNo Links for the Hats just yet..., but get in contact with either of us and we'll get you one A.S.A.P.!We also have shirts and hoodies here: https://itdw.printful.me/
