    Paul McCoy Talks Sobriety, Screaming, and Starting Over | Ep 02

    Paul McCoy of 12 Stones is back — and he’s got a lot more to say than just “wake me up.” In this episode of Mikey In The Pit, we talk about everything from surviving melanoma to ditching the 9-to-5 grind and getting back on stage. Paul opens up about sobriety, mental health, his love/hate relationship with the industry, and why this isn’t some cute little comeback story — it’s about purpose. We also get into: Touring with Evanescence (and the weirdness) Getting mislabeled as a Christian band Screaming again after 24 years Playing Aftershock and getting thrown into the crowd What 12 Stones sounds like in 2025 And the real reason he came back Whether you’re a longtime fan or just here for the truth behind the voice, this one’s real, raw, and worth the full listen.

    Aftershock 2025 Just Made History | Ep 01

    164,000 people. 115 bands. Four days of noise, sweat, and total mayhem. Aftershock 2025 was the biggest one yet and I somehow survived. From Blink-182 and Good Charlotte to Korn, Rob Zombie, Manson, Chimaira, and GWAR… this year hit different. This episode covers everything you didn’t see on the livestream: Thursday’s pop-punk flashback Friday’s food poisoning blackout Saturday’s pit insanity, the record-breaking group photo, and the best f**king corndog I’ve ever had Sunday’s crowd-surfing chaos, a surprise Manson comeback, and one poor girl who got absolutely dropped during Rob Zombie Plus: how Sacramento gave DWP a literal award, what’s changing next year, and what’s coming for Mikey in the Pit. If you were there, relive it. If you missed it, fix that next year. Follow the show. Join the Pit Crew. Instagram | TikTok | Facebook @MikeyInThePit New content dropping all week.
