Long Live the Music Kiel Hauck / It's All Dead

On the latest episode of Long Live the Music, Kiel Hauck and Nadia Alves jump in the scene time machine to travel back to the heyday of Tooth & Nail Records, when the label was pumping out one hot new band after another. But for every Underoath, Emery, and Anberlin, there were bands who, for whatever reason, just never made the big splash we thought they would. Kiel and Nadia recount some of the label's best bands that never took off and examine what may have been the reason. The discussion includes bands like Jonezetta, Waking Ashland, Run Kid Run, Secret & Whisper, and much more. Listen in!

Uh oh, we made a bracket of Spiritbox songs like they were basketball teams and then debated which songs would win in each matchup. That's our bad. But not really, cuz this was a blast. Kiel Hauck and Nadia Alves argue and debate the merits of almost every Spiritbox song to date as they work their way down to the Final Four and eventual champion. If you're a Spiritbox fan, this is a must listen. You can check out our bracket at www.itsalldead.com. Take a listen and join in!

Hey! Spring is kinda sorta almost here! Kiel Hauck is joined by Nadia Alves to discuss the early tracks from 2024 that have them the most excited for the year ahead. They then dive into some of their favorite tracks and albums that help them make the mental shift from winter to spring and define what it is about certain music that just makes you wanna roll down the windows and frolic through the flowers or whatever. Anyway, check it out!

10 years ago, we had the crazy idea to start a music website and podcast to talk about music on our own terms - how it made us feel, how we believed in its power to speak to us and its ability to build community. And here we are a decade later, still rolling. Kiel Hauck is joined by Kyle Schultz to look back on the past 10 years and discuss some of their favorite moments covering the bands they love and discuss how the music scene has evolved since 2013. They also spend some time breaking down One More Time, the new album from blink-182. Take a listen!

Taylor Swift has been at the epicenter of the pop culture zeitgeist for the entirety of the year (and more) and it appears that things won't be slowing down any time soon. Kiel Hauck welcomed Evan Sawdey of PopMatters and Yardbarker to the podcast to talk about Swift's growth from singer/songwriter to music business mogul and how she continues to evolve in ways that push the boundaries of what we've seen from a mega pop star. During the conversation, they seek to pinpoint key moments that have led to the ungodly success of the Eras Tour and discuss what comes next - namely, how long can Taylor ride these heights of fame? Listen in!

We're back, baby! On our return episode of Long Live the Music, Kiel Hauck is joined by Nadia Alves to discuss a wild summer of concert fun, including tours from Fall Out Boy, Jonas Brothers, Yellowcard, Sad Summer Festival, and Nickelback. Um yeah, you read that correctly. The two discuss whether 2023 marks the full return of the concert experience post-pandemic and how setlists and shows have evolved in recent years. Then they break down a full fall slate of fall tours, including The Wonder Years, Bad Omens, Sleep Token, The Used, and much, much more. Listen in!
