    Innocents Torn's Band Chat Ep.60 with Special Guest Colin Peterick

    On Episode 60 of Innocents Torn’s Band Chat, Bonny Freimuth sits down with singer, songwriter, musician and producer Colin Peterik for a conversation that goes way beyond the usual interview. Colin talks about his recent signing with BraveWords Records and what drew him to a label that has built a roster filled with legendary names — and why having the right people behind the music still matters. We dig into Colin’s own musical journey, growing up with a father who happens to be rock icon and Grammy-winning songwriter Jim Peterik, and how that influenced — but didn’t define — his decision to pursue his own path in music. Colin also takes us behind the board and into his work as a producer. How do you help shape another artist’s sound without replacing their identity with your own? Where does the producer end and the artist begin? We get into the creative process, collaboration, and what it takes to help an artist find the best version of what they’re trying to create. Plus, Colin gives us a look at what’s ahead, including new music, an upcoming single and the album he’s preparing for 2027. It’s music, family, creativity, production, the business behind the songs and the road still ahead. 🎙️ Hosted by Bonny Freimuth of Innocents Torn 🔥 THIS IS BAND CHAT. We bring the green room into your living room. 👇 Drop a comment, subscribe, and tell us who YOU want to see on a future episode of Band Chat. #ColinPeterik #BandChat #InnocentsTorn #BraveWordsRecords #JimPeterik #rockmusic  #rockinterviews  #musicinterview  #musicpodcast  #rockpodcast  #musicproducer  #songwriter  #independentmusic  #newmusic  #rockandroll  #behindthemusic  #musicianinterview  #musicindustry  #rock2026  #newrockmusic

    INNOCENTS TORN’S BAND CHAT – EP. 59 | PHIL SOUSSAN

    INNOCENTS TORN’S BAND CHAT – EP. 59 | PHIL SOUSSAN From Jimmy Page to Ozzy Osbourne. From Vince Neil to William Shatner. Phil Soussan has lived a rock & roll story most musicians could only dream about. But here’s the thing... Behind that absolutely insane résumé is one of the most down-to-earth, charismatic and genuinely fascinating people we’ve ever had the privilege of sitting down with. In Episode 59 of Innocents Torn’s Band Chat, Bonny Freimuth and James Freimuth welcome legendary bassist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Phil Soussan for a conversation that goes far beyond the usual rock-star interview. Phil’s career has crossed generations of rock history. He rehearsed and played with Jimmy Page during the period that ultimately led toward The Firm before choosing another opportunity that had just landed in his lap: joining Ozzy Osbourne. That decision put Phil on Ozzy’s The Ultimate Sin, where he also brought in the song that became one of the defining tracks of the era: “Shot in the Dark.” His career would go on to include work with artists including Billy Idol, Vince Neil, Steve Lukather, John Waite, Edgar Winter, Last in Line and many more. And somehow, in 2026, the story got even crazier. Phil is currently playing bass alongside William Shatner in Shatner’s new heavy-metal project, *The uckers, which made its live debut this month—including a performance at Riot Fest. Yes. Captain Kirk went metal. And Phil Soussan is holding down the low end. 🤘 🚀 COSMO FIGHTER PART ONE — NOVEMBER 13, 2026 Now Phil is stepping back into the spotlight with his own music. Cosmo Fighter Part One arrives through BraveWords Records on November 13, 2026, beginning an ambitious trilogy of three EPs. With only a few guest appearances, the project was written, performed, produced and mixed by Phil himself. Part One features four tracks: “Fading Out,” “The More You Take,” “Fallen From Grace,” and “Please Don’t Make Me Wait,” with Richie Kotzen contributing the guitar solos on the latter. The first single, “Fading Out,” is available now, and anyone who pre-orders the EP through Bandcamp receives an immediate download of the track. 🎧 PRE-ORDER COSMO FIGHTER PART ONE: Phil Soussan — Cosmo Fighter Part One on Bandcamp 🔥 FREE LISTENING PARTY — NOVEMBER 11 Hear Cosmo Fighter Part One two days before its official release, with Phil himself in attendance. RSVP through Bandcamp. RSVP for the Cosmo Fighter Part One Listening Party 🤘 MORE PHIL SOUSSAN For Phil’s music, biography, discography, news and current projects: Phil Soussan — Official Website Phil Soussan on Spotify BraveWords Records — Cosmo Fighter Part One We were genuinely honored to have the opportunity to sit down with Phil. With a career this massive, it would be easy to spend an entire interview talking about platinum records, legendary musicians and historic tours. Instead, we also got to meet the man behind all of it—and discovered someone funny, thoughtful, incredibly personable and refreshingly down to earth. And we're not done yet. Catch Bonny with Phil again next week on the Full Volume Feedback podcast for another conversation with one of rock’s great musicians and storytellers.

    Innocents Torn's Band Chat Ep. 58 w/ Special Guest Cody Perez of Amerakin Overdose

    Cody Perez Is Speaking Out — It’s Time to Talk | Band Chat Ep. 58 Watch the full episode on YouTube: Innocents Torn's Band Chat | Ep. 58 with Special Guest Cody Perez | Amerakin Overdose What happens when one artist decides enough is enough? This week on Innocents Torn’s Band Chat Episode 58, Bonny Freimuth sits down with Cody Perez of Amerakin Overdose for a conversation that goes far beyond music. A growing conversation within the music community has put a spotlight on something working artists know all too well: bands play the shows, fulfill their obligations, and expect the agreements made with them to be honored. Cody Perez decided to speak up. And when he did, something bigger started happening. Other artists began talking. Musicians started comparing experiences. Conversations that often happen privately began happening openly—and suddenly, people throughout the community were asking questions. This week, we’re spilling the tea. Cody joins us to talk about why he chose to take a stand, what sparked this viral conversation, what has happened since, and why communication between artists may be one of the most powerful tools the independent music community has. Because sometimes doing the next right thing means being the person willing to say something first. Cody Perez may be a hero without a cape… but he DOES have stage makeup. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE: • Cody Perez and the conversation currently making waves • Bands, contracts and artist compensation • Why Cody decided to speak publicly • What happened when other musicians started communicating • Accountability within the music community • The importance of artists comparing notes and supporting one another • What independent bands can learn from this conversation • And yes… we're spilling some f*****g tea. 🎙️ INNOCENTS TORN'S BAND CHAT — EP. 58 Special Guest: Cody Perez of Amerakin Overdose 📅 Friday ⏰ 8:00 PM PST Hosted by Bonny Freimuth — The Queen of Metal Podcasts We bring the green room into your living room every Friday night at 8PM. Follow Cody and the ongoing conversation on Cody Perez's Facebook page 🤘 Subscribe, hit the notification bell, and join us in the live chat. If you're a musician, promoter, venue, manager—or simply someone who gives a damn about independent music—this is a conversation worth hearing.
