Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's one O five nine in the Rock Nashville's Classic
(00:02):
Rockets Battle in the Morning, and uh, you know what,
tonight is a very big night. I'm very excited about this.
Pod is in town with Daughtry and seether First Bank
Campa Theater. Tickets still available at ticketmaster dot com. And
I gotta tell you, I talked to the guys beforehand,
and I will try not to fanggirl during this interview,
but I got to We got po D in studio pod.
What's up, guys?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I gotta tell you, And I gotta start with this
because as a fan who grew up on your guys's music,
three decades into this, over three decades, it's crazy. It's
mind blowing that you guys are still doing your thing out.
There was there a moment going back to those San
Diego days where it hit you like, hey, yeah, we're
really doing this.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's crazy because when we first started out, all we
cared about was playing that next little like backyard party
or playing the YMCA Battle of the Bands, and we
never really kind of I mean, this was always you know,
who doesn't dream about doing this as long as we
have and playing bigger venues. Yeah, I mean that was
I guess always in the back of our heads. But
we were more of like I would say, like, hey man,
(01:05):
we want to play so on Sol's house, man, that's
where it's popping, and you.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Know, underground as it gets.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
We never thought we leave San Diego, so anytime we got,
you know, so many miles away from home, it was
always an adventure. And so, like Marco said, we never
thought we'd be doing this long and we're extremely lucky
and blessed.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And I think a lot of San Diego bands are
like that. I went and saw Blink recently on their
big stadium tour with Pierce de Vale, and you know,
Mark was like, do all we wanted to do was
play club Soma and now they're plan sold out stadium
and I was like, that's kind of the same thing
with us, man, I just wanted to play a show.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And the next stage, yeah, theater or club.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And you know what, we're older now and we're here
in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Grateful, dude, We are definitely grateful to have you guys
here in Nashville. And you know, Pod has always had
this you know signature mix, you know, heavy uplifting, positive vibes.
I mean, you could start a pod record from start
to finish and you're gonna go through all kinds of
emotions with him keeping that same spark. How do you
get into the studio now to where it's not like
(02:07):
a hey, we're gonna just recreate what we did before.
You want to kind of, you know, reinvent yourself.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I think we're always creating. I mean, one thing with
you know, this is a guitar driven music and Marco's
The cool thing about Marcos is that he loves so
many different types of music and he's always paying attention
to you know, what's out there or what's hot, you know,
hardcore punk, whatever, and so I think he's always inspired
to not we're not copying nobody, it's always going to
(02:36):
be pod, but we're always listening to what's going on.
And so, you know, I mean he's a DJ. He
does you know, he likes.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It all, which is great.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
You know, I might not lock it all, but you
know when Marcos shows me stuff like I dig that man,
and how do we make that heavy? You know, how
do we make that pod? And so we're always learning,
we're always creating, which is a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, we never try to recreator you know, a lot
of bands are like, I got to recreate a live
or I got to recreate Southtown because that's our popping song.
It's never been like that with us. For me and
and Sonny and the rest of the guys, it's all
about a vibe. The music's got to make you feel
a certain way, and you know, when it comes out
and becomes a single, you're like, you know what, it
(03:20):
wasn't like we were trying to copy what was hot.
I think when you start doing that, you're already falling behind.
So we're just doing our thing, man.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Absolutely, and obviously it's been working. I mean, you've been
in the game for over three decades and everybody still
loves the hits. You talk about a live, you talk
about Youth of the Nation, you talk about Boom, every
of all these other great songs, which, by the way,
we're gonna be able to hear these songs tonight, first
Bank Amphitheater. You guys are with Seather and Daughtry, which
is a pretty loaded lineup. It's I guess people are
dubbing this this kind of music now is divorced dad rock.
(03:52):
There was this big article about it.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Saying that live that's why. Yeah, he's been saying that
from the stage. Ready to get in some divorced dad rock, and.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It's in some new genre. At least it's not like, hey,
guys are plastic rock in a way, you know, it's
divorced dad rock, which is a big thing. But I
want to talk about I want to talk about how
how's the energy been on this tour? I mean with
seaf or with Daughtry. How does it feel to bring
your energy along with them every single night?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
We're gonna well, first of all, I want to shout
out kam Keho, she's opening up the set. We we're
gonna do us like we've We've already flickered in a
bunch of different songs.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
First we were worried, like, well, we don't want to
go too heavy. I think when we played years ago
with Daughtry and we were on Three Doors, which was
so different for us. We played heavy music and I
think we scared everybody way. So we were on this
one other than Seither. We were kind of worried, man,
we don't want to we don't want to do that.
But then we're starting to learn that no, this crowd
(04:57):
they want some heavy music, and so we're just doing us.
I think we're always going to be energetic. We love
playing live, we're having fun. So we're and we're completely
different than all the other three bands, which is great
because you're getting a whole buffet and tonight, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And so I don't think dad rock is a negative
thing because depending on who you are, if you're Latino,
you could have been a dad at a very young age.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
No, for real, that's a Mexican speaker.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I can speak from experience. So we just embrace it. Man,
you know what I'm saying. Why are you guys laughing?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
What's so funny about Dom just gonna have to speak
for himself, dude, because we hey, we when we get
up there, we feel like we're rocking.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, the first time around, it was like date night.
You know, We're like, dang, we're gonna blow these people's
faces off because they were all American idol you know people,
and yeah, Grandma right there is gonna feel like night. Dude.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Anything he should have said like soccer mom rock or something,
you know what I mean it was that's kind of
how it feels. But but I think with to see
the crowd and say this stuff, it's different.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We were just having a few at the Red Door
and some of the crew guys. While you're laughing, the
crew guys were like, this is the best tour they've
done in twenty three years, and we're like, yeah, you
say that on every tour. No, I'm telling you. The
vibe from this tour between all the bands and everybody involved,
it's like old He's like, this is like old school
(06:22):
traveling together. Everybody's on the same team, everybody is respectful,
everybody has like the same goal to put on a
great rock show.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Well, he said, this is as rock and roll as
it gets. It's like he's like, that's why I'm stoked
to be here.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So coming from Leo, yeah, you know that. When you
hear that kind of thing, you're like, that's how we
feel too. But to hear from somebody else from another camp,
it's a pretty cool thing.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, absolutely for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And our guest at studio right now, we've got pod
and I want to talk about the new song, your
cover of the Beatles, Don't Let Me Down, Right, ma'ch
an iconic track to begin with, right, what made you
guys want to take this on? And how did you
put your pod twist on that track? Because I listened
to it. We'll play a little bit of it here
shortly talk me through this well.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
To be honest, there was actually we come from the
hardcore punk rock scene back home, and there was a
band that we used to go watch and they tried
to do a version of it, and I thought it
was cool, but we were always like, that's cool man,
and I always like was still on sunny man, but
we could do a really kick ass version of it,
you know what I mean. We always talked about it
heavy version, and it finally came to fruition. Josh Wilber,
(07:33):
who's produced Gogira, Lamb of God, amongst many other bands, was.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Like, I remember my first time, dude, really brom A
turn your ring setting off right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I love how we're all reaching for our phones.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But on all seriousness, it was a song that we've
been talking about wanting to do for quite some time
and we wanted to work with Josh, so we were
kind of like, hey, dude, you mixed our last record,
but you never you've never worked. We've never worked together
on a song as far as you as the producer.
So it was a song that we decided to do
with him, kind of like dating, hey man, maybe if
(08:13):
this works out, you can.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Produce our next record album together.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
And it ended up that being the result, and it
kicks major butts.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
We did another song too with him. We're like, he's
our guy, and.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
He was the first thing he said, He's like, well,
we listened to the original. He goes, you can't just
copy this. We got to put the pod anthemic twist
to it, and it's got to be upbeat, and you know,
when you think about it, that's what POD does. Like
you were saying earlier, it's anthemic, it's got deep, heavy groove,
and I think we did. I'm very proud of you.
(08:43):
I'm proud of it, and I think the response and
it's been received really well, so we're really stoked on it.
So turn it up.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And Zach who's with us here in studio. He's been
drumming with us for about two years now and this
is from Las Vegas, Vegas. We finally got to get
him in the studio, so he laid drums on this
track and yeah, man, super.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Tracked the first track with the band.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You know it's funny playing it every night, dude.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And you know what I told him before he started tracking,
I said, don't let me down, bro, and I did.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
They were like, you know what, You're gonna get a
hotel because we're gonna be tracking all night and I
was like nah, dude went in knocked it out. Marcus
is like, oh, yeah, you're good, go home.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And he drove back to Vegas just to see Boddy
stoked about the track and it's going over real well.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Song is sick. Yeah, live is killing it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Definitely cannot wait to hear that one live tonight at
First Bank Ampa Theater, which, by the way, you could
still grab your tickets ticketmaster dot com. And I gotta
ask you, because you've played everything from small clubs to
massive festivals, is there like one show that still gives
you goosebumps when when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, there's a show. I think os Fest Rest in Peace,
Ozzie we did. I want to say it was two
thousand and two maybe, and we were playing in Dallas, Texas,
and right before Alive, I thought it would be a
punk rock thing to do, to tell everybody from the
lawn to come rush the aisles and just squeeze in.
And it was awesome. They did it. They pushed over
(10:11):
all the security. But then I get you know, I'm
happy after this.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
We rocked.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
After the sets over, I get to the dressing room
to her manners like Sharon Osborn's not not happy, and
I'm like, whoa. She says, you're not going to get
paid unless you get your butt out there and grab
a mic and tell nobody to go back to their seats.
So I'm like, oh, man. So she's sitting there like
like if I was in trouble in school, the principals
looking at me, and I'm like, she goes, go ahead,
(10:37):
and I go out there and everyone's cheering me on. Yeah,
this is the guy who told us to come down here.
And then I go, hey, guys, great by shah blah
blah blah. You guys all got to go back to
your seats. They turned on me instantly. Boo a few
man boo. I'm sitting there going, hey, I did it.
We're getting paid. I gave her a life and I
walked off. Dude. So pretty epic show story. I think man.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
There, it's all about the crowd and the energy, you
know what I mean. We've some of the smallest shows
have been the best shows, and some of the biggest
crowds have been the best. But yeah, it really depends
on the crowd for me, when the energy is there.
You could be in an Alphi theater and there's no energy,
you know, depending on the crowd or the place. But
when people are ready to have a good time, that's
(11:20):
when the best show happens.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Absolutely, And talking about shows, I briefly, we talked about
it beforehand. That new festival that's out there next year,
Sick New World. You guys are on it. There's a
couple of dates that have already been announced. The lineup
is stacked. How fired up are you to be a
part of something like this, especially that as a festival
that is blending you know, that early two thousands energy
with this new wave of fans.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
We're stoked we did the first year. I just wish
it was like a tour a tour, or like a
two to three day, four day event because you are scrambling.
There's so many great bands you're the problem is you're
not going to see them all unless you watch one
song and then go to the next stage. Watch one song,
go to the next stage. But the band, I mean,
(12:03):
the the lineup is undeniable. And this is the era
that we come from. This is when we, at least
I felt that music was its best and most organic
and creative. Was the school that we come from, where
everybody sounded like themselves, you know, and so we're stoked
just to be just to be a part of it
once again.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, the way they presented it to us, the first
one we did was like when we were young. Yeah,
but like the new metal version of it, and that's
what we were like, Okay, let's do it. Probably gonna
be cool. Is the same venue actually, I believe.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Right, Yeah, I guess Vegas.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, I think we've made a conscious decision because of
you know, business and management is to you know, we
could headline the side stage or we can play on
the main stage, and management was like, no, no, play
on the main stage. Doesn't matter. If you play earlier,
that's where everyone goes. And we ended up doing that
and it was probably one of the most it was
(13:00):
dope at shows ever.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Dude, Oh, I can only imagine. And you know, we
go back to the beginning of this, I tell you
that I'm a fan, Like I bought all the albums.
I remember stumbling across you guys at church camp and
somebody was like.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
That's not Christian rock.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You're not allowed to listen to this, and I was like,
listen to the words. So then we finally told them
about everything. But you think about it, songs like Alive
and you know, Youth of the Nation, they became straight
up anthems for kids. Like when I was growing up,
when did it hit you that those songs were more
than just radio songs, more than songs on an album,
that they were actual cultural moments.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I think for the Satellite Record, you know, because we
came from the underground, and it was like, dude, every
every hardcore band or punk or band, they're about something,
and we were young kids kind of discovering our faith,
and so we were about it as well, just trying
to be us. But then when we finally got to
the Satellite Record, which was you know, almost maybe even
(13:55):
eight nine years into our career, we wanted to be
more universal. We wanted we never set out to make
music for one community and one certain people. It's like
we want everybody to listen to our music, and so
we kept it open like that. And then you know, obviously,
once these songs hit radio and we were on MTV,
it was just a whole different platform for us. But
(14:20):
I think when Youth the Nation for me really took
off was I think it was two thousand and two
and we were in Singapore for the MTV Music Works
for the first time, and we ended up playing a
free show out in the park bro there was cops everywhere.
There were so many people that came out, different religions,
different religions, and so when we're looking out and people
are singing Ethan Nation and because of the military bases
(14:42):
and stuff, there was every color, every.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Race, like all military people, and we're like and they're
all singing our Youth the Nation.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
It was like that was a moment I'll never forget
where it was like there were no lines at that point,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Everybody was together and it was all about this song.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
And I think people really believed in that song and
they felt that song at that moment, and that's I
think it's more relevant today than ever because.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That song reacts no matter if they speak English or not.
Like every night we played I played that first guitar note,
you instantly see faces light up and you're like, whoa, dude,
this song's powerful. Like we didn't we didn't expect that. No,
we actually wrote that song pretty quick. We were there
was a shooting a couple of blocks away from the studio.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We were writing, we were writing the record, and then.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
That was note that just started coming out, and we
started jamming, and then we're just like, let's write this
song about this event.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, and it's the test of time. I mean, I
sit here, I'm getting goosebumps thinking about hearing the story,
and you know, you go in there and talk about it,
and of course, uh, you know, being the National Predators
these days. The other thing that I like to do
is anytime a fight breaks out during the game, another
anthem song that is a great song to play is Boom.
So when the fight breaks out, all of a sudden,
you just hear everybody yell boom and the song. So
(15:59):
of course we're gonna make sure we're playing that a
lot during Pred's games.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
So sure.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Another thing that I'm a fan of, not only of
just you guys, but I'm also a big fan of
professional wrestling, And I want to go talk about you
guys doing ray mysterious theme song from back in the day.
How did that come about? Because that is a recognizable
song that everybody sings that song when it hears I
know he's moved into a different song. But how did
that all come together?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
We Ray was a couple of years younger than us,
but we grew up in the same neighborhood, went to
the same school.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
We were friends. You know.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
He would always go down to Mexico, TJ and practice,
and that was his passion.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
He wanted to be a wrestler. You know.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
We were doing music, doing our own thing, and so
when the time came, he was having success, so were we.
The song already existed with another friend of ours called
mad One, but then wwe wanted to do rock versions
or heavy versions of these wrestler's theme songs, and they
(16:59):
got to pick the bands they want to work with,
and obviously he was like, I'm working with pod you know.
So all we did was take his original song and
just make it heavier, and then I jumped in on
a verse and but he's he's family. I mean, to
this day, we still do a lot of charity stuff
in San Diego. He's an amazing cat and we just
don't really play that one live because you know, it
(17:20):
was kind of we got to do it for WrestleMania
actually when he won the belt years ago in Chicago.
But it's just I think people would they actually request
that song, but it doesn't really make sense.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's rays song, you know, we did it for me.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, But I think if you, like, as a wrestling
fan myself, because here's the thing, I'm just I'm just
throwing this out there, but like as a wrestling fan myself,
like I would, and again, I'm just the minor part
of the fan base. Like if I hear it, I'm like,
oh my god, it's Po D and Raymond stereo song.
But if somebody else is like, oh that I don't
know what this song is. It's time to go get
another beer, a back break kind of thing. But I
(17:54):
mean I would be excited if you know, they want
to add that to your set.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And I'm just saying you throw it out.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I gotta pull the tabs out on that one.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
The emotional connection with all these songs, like you were
saying earlier, like with Boom when when you know, when
they're fighting and stuff. In nine to eleven, Boom was
one of the songs that was on the list not
to play, but then we had another one out alive
that was like still getting played, So it was like,
you know, there's that emotional connection with different songs. And
we hear a lot of our military friends and brothers
(18:26):
and sisters out you know, abroad that they trained to
that song. They're bombing stuff, just blowing things up and
Boom and they like, oh wow, dude, it's on everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And then the other time that I sit here and
think about Boom is when you guys were in the
movie roller Ball when they used that song in the movie.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, what well, then what about here comes to boom?
These ye whole movie?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And did you get any royalties off of that?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Or it was he no, we got we got paid
a fee.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And then but then I think they kind of it
was like a sneaky job where we had found out
somebody said this movie is out and we had no idea,
and then so we hit up management. We're like do
we get paid for this? Like oh yeah, and then
they totally see them out. We're like, oh that's awesome.
We're grateful. But then when we finally saw the movie
and we're like, wait, this whole movie is based around
this song. We didn't get no red carpet tickets, we
(19:16):
didn't get to go meet the activists, none of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
When we found out Henry Wrinkler was learning how to
play Boom on a guitar, I was like what.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, We're like we got none of that stuff. Not
that we wanted some, We just want to be a
part of it. But I guess they figured if they
just paid us a decent amount beforehand and not let
us know too much information, then we wouldn't ask too
many questions.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Just keeps giving. Dude, like video games Hell Driver two,
which is part of Halo, Like they're using it on
that you know, Madden last year?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah. Five.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
I was like, dang, we'll get text from friends like
do you know you have the new Madden game?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Or you know in the Halo commercial. We're like, no,
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Now it makes you go look at your books. Okay,
what should I get for them?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
We're sending to me, we're here, are we getting some
for this? Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
No, they let us know. It's just we're busy sometimes
and we don't go check our email.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, and again this just shows the test of time
of your guys's music that again, you've been doing this
for a while, it's still relevant for things today, Like
I go back to it again, youth of the nation
that can stand today what's going on in today's society. Boom,
same thing, alive, same thing. And it's just an awesome
(20:26):
feeling that no matter what age group discovers POD, they
could relate to that song in today's moment.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, for sure, I think. I mean, we can never
plan that, but we can be true to ourselves when
we're writing the music, when we're writing the lyrics, and
that is our hope that we're always encouraging people, inspiring people,
we're loving trying to love people through our music, and
with those songs, we're lucky that they've Yeah, it was
(20:56):
a song.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
That needed to become a song because we had done
a bunch of charity work for column buying shooting and
we became, like, you know, a very charitable band, and
when that happened two blocks away from our rehearsal spot,
we were like, oh, we definitely got to write a song.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, it just happened. It was organic.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You know, it wasn't like we were capitalizing.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Alive happened to be number one on MTV, t r
L and even rock radio when nine eleven happened, you know,
so it Yeah, it meant to be.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It was meant to be. That's all we that's all.
That's what we believe. It was just meant to be.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Like Marcos always says, everything's meant to be. But like
the way you guys see Youth of the Nation, obviously
I'm the.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
New guy, you know, the younger.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
The first time that I heard that song and I
was like that, that's what made me start to play music.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Here I am and here.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You are getting It's yeah, it's so weird, one of
those full circle moments. It's like, you know, I say,
I grew up here in Nashville. I've lived here my
entire life, and I used to listen to the station
that I do a morning show on, and I would
grow up listening to it with my dad. And then
here it as I wake up every morning getting to
be on the station you grew up.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, that's great, full circle.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Man, you know, absolutely, the old Wolves, the young pup.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Our guest pod in the studio Tonight. They're gonna be
at First band Camp in Theater. It's gonna be a
hell of a show. Grab your tickets now ticketmaster dot
com before we let you go. Is there anything you
want to say to people in Nashville right now?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Just show up tomorrow, get there a little early so
you can check out all the opening bands. And you
know what I mean by that. Don't let me down, Okay,
It's one O five nine in the Rock Nashville's Classic
(00:02):
Rockets Battle in the Morning, and uh, you know what,
tonight is a very big night. I'm very excited about this.
Pod is in town with Daughtry and seether First Bank
Campa Theater. Tickets still available at ticketmaster dot com. And
I gotta tell you, I talked to the guys beforehand,
and I will try not to fanggirl during this interview,
but I got to We got po D in studio pod.
What's up, guys?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I gotta tell you, And I gotta start with this
because as a fan who grew up on your guys's music,
three decades into this, over three decades, it's crazy. It's
mind blowing that you guys are still doing your thing out.
There was there a moment going back to those San
Diego days where it hit you like, hey, yeah, we're
really doing this.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's crazy because when we first started out, all we
cared about was playing that next little like backyard party
or playing the YMCA Battle of the Bands, and we
never really kind of I mean, this was always you know,
who doesn't dream about doing this as long as we
have and playing bigger venues. Yeah, I mean that was
I guess always in the back of our heads. But
we were more of like I would say, like, hey man,
(01:05):
we want to play so on Sol's house, man, that's
where it's popping, and you.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Know, underground as it gets.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
We never thought we leave San Diego, so anytime we got,
you know, so many miles away from home, it was
always an adventure. And so, like Marco said, we never
thought we'd be doing this long and we're extremely lucky
and blessed.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And I think a lot of San Diego bands are
like that. I went and saw Blink recently on their
big stadium tour with Pierce de Vale, and you know,
Mark was like, do all we wanted to do was
play club Soma and now they're plan sold out stadium
and I was like, that's kind of the same thing
with us, man, I just wanted to play a show.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And the next stage, yeah, theater or club.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And you know what, we're older now and we're here
in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Grateful, dude, We are definitely grateful to have you guys
here in Nashville. And you know, Pod has always had
this you know signature mix, you know, heavy uplifting, positive vibes.
I mean, you could start a pod record from start
to finish and you're gonna go through all kinds of
emotions with him keeping that same spark. How do you
get into the studio now to where it's not like
(02:07):
a hey, we're gonna just recreate what we did before.
You want to kind of, you know, reinvent yourself.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I think we're always creating. I mean, one thing with
you know, this is a guitar driven music and Marco's
The cool thing about Marcos is that he loves so
many different types of music and he's always paying attention
to you know, what's out there or what's hot, you know,
hardcore punk, whatever, and so I think he's always inspired
to not we're not copying nobody, it's always going to
(02:36):
be pod, but we're always listening to what's going on.
And so, you know, I mean he's a DJ. He
does you know, he likes.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It all, which is great.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
You know, I might not lock it all, but you
know when Marcos shows me stuff like I dig that man,
and how do we make that heavy? You know, how
do we make that pod? And so we're always learning,
we're always creating, which is a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, we never try to recreator you know, a lot
of bands are like, I got to recreate a live
or I got to recreate Southtown because that's our popping song.
It's never been like that with us. For me and
and Sonny and the rest of the guys, it's all
about a vibe. The music's got to make you feel
a certain way, and you know, when it comes out
and becomes a single, you're like, you know what, it
(03:20):
wasn't like we were trying to copy what was hot.
I think when you start doing that, you're already falling behind.
So we're just doing our thing, man.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Absolutely, and obviously it's been working. I mean, you've been
in the game for over three decades and everybody still
loves the hits. You talk about a live, you talk
about Youth of the Nation, you talk about Boom, every
of all these other great songs, which, by the way,
we're gonna be able to hear these songs tonight, first
Bank Amphitheater. You guys are with Seather and Daughtry, which
is a pretty loaded lineup. It's I guess people are
dubbing this this kind of music now is divorced dad rock.
(03:52):
There was this big article about it.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Saying that live that's why. Yeah, he's been saying that
from the stage. Ready to get in some divorced dad rock, and.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It's in some new genre. At least it's not like, hey,
guys are plastic rock in a way, you know, it's
divorced dad rock, which is a big thing. But I
want to talk about I want to talk about how
how's the energy been on this tour? I mean with
seaf or with Daughtry. How does it feel to bring
your energy along with them every single night?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
We're gonna well, first of all, I want to shout
out kam Keho, she's opening up the set. We we're
gonna do us like we've We've already flickered in a
bunch of different songs.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
First we were worried, like, well, we don't want to
go too heavy. I think when we played years ago
with Daughtry and we were on Three Doors, which was
so different for us. We played heavy music and I
think we scared everybody way. So we were on this
one other than Seither. We were kind of worried, man,
we don't want to we don't want to do that.
But then we're starting to learn that no, this crowd
(04:57):
they want some heavy music, and so we're just doing us.
I think we're always going to be energetic. We love
playing live, we're having fun. So we're and we're completely
different than all the other three bands, which is great
because you're getting a whole buffet and tonight, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And so I don't think dad rock is a negative
thing because depending on who you are, if you're Latino,
you could have been a dad at a very young age.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
No, for real, that's a Mexican speaker.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I can speak from experience. So we just embrace it. Man,
you know what I'm saying. Why are you guys laughing?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
What's so funny about Dom just gonna have to speak
for himself, dude, because we hey, we when we get
up there, we feel like we're rocking.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, the first time around, it was like date night.
You know, We're like, dang, we're gonna blow these people's
faces off because they were all American idol you know people,
and yeah, Grandma right there is gonna feel like night. Dude.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Anything he should have said like soccer mom rock or something,
you know what I mean it was that's kind of
how it feels. But but I think with to see
the crowd and say this stuff, it's different.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We were just having a few at the Red Door
and some of the crew guys. While you're laughing, the
crew guys were like, this is the best tour they've
done in twenty three years, and we're like, yeah, you
say that on every tour. No, I'm telling you. The
vibe from this tour between all the bands and everybody involved,
it's like old He's like, this is like old school
(06:22):
traveling together. Everybody's on the same team, everybody is respectful,
everybody has like the same goal to put on a
great rock show.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Well, he said, this is as rock and roll as
it gets. It's like he's like, that's why I'm stoked
to be here.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So coming from Leo, yeah, you know that. When you
hear that kind of thing, you're like, that's how we
feel too. But to hear from somebody else from another camp,
it's a pretty cool thing.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, absolutely for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
And our guest at studio right now, we've got pod
and I want to talk about the new song, your
cover of the Beatles, Don't Let Me Down, Right, ma'ch
an iconic track to begin with, right, what made you
guys want to take this on? And how did you
put your pod twist on that track? Because I listened
to it. We'll play a little bit of it here
shortly talk me through this well.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
To be honest, there was actually we come from the
hardcore punk rock scene back home, and there was a
band that we used to go watch and they tried
to do a version of it, and I thought it
was cool, but we were always like, that's cool man,
and I always like was still on sunny man, but
we could do a really kick ass version of it,
you know what I mean. We always talked about it
heavy version, and it finally came to fruition. Josh Wilber,
(07:33):
who's produced Gogira, Lamb of God, amongst many other bands, was.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Like, I remember my first time, dude, really brom A
turn your ring setting off right.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I love how we're all reaching for our phones.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But on all seriousness, it was a song that we've
been talking about wanting to do for quite some time
and we wanted to work with Josh, so we were
kind of like, hey, dude, you mixed our last record,
but you never you've never worked. We've never worked together
on a song as far as you as the producer.
So it was a song that we decided to do
with him, kind of like dating, hey man, maybe if
(08:13):
this works out, you can.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Produce our next record album together.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
And it ended up that being the result, and it
kicks major butts.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
We did another song too with him. We're like, he's
our guy, and.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
He was the first thing he said, He's like, well,
we listened to the original. He goes, you can't just
copy this. We got to put the pod anthemic twist
to it, and it's got to be upbeat, and you know,
when you think about it, that's what POD does. Like
you were saying earlier, it's anthemic, it's got deep, heavy groove,
and I think we did. I'm very proud of you.
(08:43):
I'm proud of it, and I think the response and
it's been received really well, so we're really stoked on it.
So turn it up.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And Zach who's with us here in studio. He's been
drumming with us for about two years now and this
is from Las Vegas, Vegas. We finally got to get
him in the studio, so he laid drums on this
track and yeah, man, super.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Tracked the first track with the band.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You know it's funny playing it every night, dude.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
And you know what I told him before he started tracking,
I said, don't let me down, bro, and I did.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
They were like, you know what, You're gonna get a
hotel because we're gonna be tracking all night and I
was like nah, dude went in knocked it out. Marcus
is like, oh, yeah, you're good, go home.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And he drove back to Vegas just to see Boddy
stoked about the track and it's going over real well.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Song is sick. Yeah, live is killing it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Definitely cannot wait to hear that one live tonight at
First Bank Ampa Theater, which, by the way, you could
still grab your tickets ticketmaster dot com. And I gotta
ask you, because you've played everything from small clubs to
massive festivals, is there like one show that still gives
you goosebumps when when you think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, there's a show. I think os Fest Rest in Peace,
Ozzie we did. I want to say it was two
thousand and two maybe, and we were playing in Dallas, Texas,
and right before Alive, I thought it would be a
punk rock thing to do, to tell everybody from the
lawn to come rush the aisles and just squeeze in.
And it was awesome. They did it. They pushed over
(10:11):
all the security. But then I get you know, I'm
happy after this.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
We rocked.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
After the sets over, I get to the dressing room
to her manners like Sharon Osborn's not not happy, and
I'm like, whoa. She says, you're not going to get
paid unless you get your butt out there and grab
a mic and tell nobody to go back to their seats.
So I'm like, oh, man. So she's sitting there like
like if I was in trouble in school, the principals
looking at me, and I'm like, she goes, go ahead,
(10:37):
and I go out there and everyone's cheering me on. Yeah,
this is the guy who told us to come down here.
And then I go, hey, guys, great by shah blah
blah blah. You guys all got to go back to
your seats. They turned on me instantly. Boo a few
man boo. I'm sitting there going, hey, I did it.
We're getting paid. I gave her a life and I
walked off. Dude. So pretty epic show story. I think man.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
There, it's all about the crowd and the energy, you
know what I mean. We've some of the smallest shows
have been the best shows, and some of the biggest
crowds have been the best. But yeah, it really depends
on the crowd for me, when the energy is there.
You could be in an Alphi theater and there's no energy,
you know, depending on the crowd or the place. But
when people are ready to have a good time, that's
(11:20):
when the best show happens.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Absolutely, And talking about shows, I briefly, we talked about
it beforehand. That new festival that's out there next year,
Sick New World. You guys are on it. There's a
couple of dates that have already been announced. The lineup
is stacked. How fired up are you to be a
part of something like this, especially that as a festival
that is blending you know, that early two thousands energy
with this new wave of fans.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
We're stoked we did the first year. I just wish
it was like a tour a tour, or like a
two to three day, four day event because you are scrambling.
There's so many great bands you're the problem is you're
not going to see them all unless you watch one
song and then go to the next stage. Watch one song,
go to the next stage. But the band, I mean,
(12:03):
the the lineup is undeniable. And this is the era
that we come from. This is when we, at least
I felt that music was its best and most organic
and creative. Was the school that we come from, where
everybody sounded like themselves, you know, and so we're stoked
just to be just to be a part of it
once again.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, the way they presented it to us, the first
one we did was like when we were young. Yeah,
but like the new metal version of it, and that's
what we were like, Okay, let's do it. Probably gonna
be cool. Is the same venue actually, I believe.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Right, Yeah, I guess Vegas.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, I think we've made a conscious decision because of
you know, business and management is to you know, we
could headline the side stage or we can play on
the main stage, and management was like, no, no, play
on the main stage. Doesn't matter. If you play earlier,
that's where everyone goes. And we ended up doing that
and it was probably one of the most it was
(13:00):
dope at shows ever.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Dude, Oh, I can only imagine. And you know, we
go back to the beginning of this, I tell you
that I'm a fan, Like I bought all the albums.
I remember stumbling across you guys at church camp and
somebody was like.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
That's not Christian rock.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
You're not allowed to listen to this, and I was like,
listen to the words. So then we finally told them
about everything. But you think about it, songs like Alive
and you know, Youth of the Nation, they became straight
up anthems for kids. Like when I was growing up,
when did it hit you that those songs were more
than just radio songs, more than songs on an album,
that they were actual cultural moments.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I think for the Satellite Record, you know, because we
came from the underground, and it was like, dude, every
every hardcore band or punk or band, they're about something,
and we were young kids kind of discovering our faith,
and so we were about it as well, just trying
to be us. But then when we finally got to
the Satellite Record, which was you know, almost maybe even
(13:55):
eight nine years into our career, we wanted to be
more universal. We wanted we never set out to make
music for one community and one certain people. It's like
we want everybody to listen to our music, and so
we kept it open like that. And then you know, obviously,
once these songs hit radio and we were on MTV,
it was just a whole different platform for us. But
(14:20):
I think when Youth the Nation for me really took
off was I think it was two thousand and two
and we were in Singapore for the MTV Music Works
for the first time, and we ended up playing a
free show out in the park bro there was cops everywhere.
There were so many people that came out, different religions,
different religions, and so when we're looking out and people
are singing Ethan Nation and because of the military bases
(14:42):
and stuff, there was every color, every.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Race, like all military people, and we're like and they're
all singing our Youth the Nation.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
It was like that was a moment I'll never forget
where it was like there were no lines at that point,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Everybody was together and it was all about this song.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
And I think people really believed in that song and
they felt that song at that moment, and that's I
think it's more relevant today than ever because.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That song reacts no matter if they speak English or not.
Like every night we played I played that first guitar note,
you instantly see faces light up and you're like, whoa, dude,
this song's powerful. Like we didn't we didn't expect that. No,
we actually wrote that song pretty quick. We were there
was a shooting a couple of blocks away from the studio.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We were writing, we were writing the record, and then.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
That was note that just started coming out, and we
started jamming, and then we're just like, let's write this
song about this event.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, and it's the test of time. I mean, I
sit here, I'm getting goosebumps thinking about hearing the story,
and you know, you go in there and talk about it,
and of course, uh, you know, being the National Predators
these days. The other thing that I like to do
is anytime a fight breaks out during the game, another
anthem song that is a great song to play is Boom.
So when the fight breaks out, all of a sudden,
you just hear everybody yell boom and the song. So
(15:59):
of course we're gonna make sure we're playing that a
lot during Pred's games.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
So sure.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Another thing that I'm a fan of, not only of
just you guys, but I'm also a big fan of
professional wrestling, And I want to go talk about you
guys doing ray mysterious theme song from back in the day.
How did that come about? Because that is a recognizable
song that everybody sings that song when it hears I
know he's moved into a different song. But how did
that all come together?
Speaker 4 (16:25):
We Ray was a couple of years younger than us,
but we grew up in the same neighborhood, went to
the same school.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
We were friends. You know.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
He would always go down to Mexico, TJ and practice,
and that was his passion.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
He wanted to be a wrestler. You know.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
We were doing music, doing our own thing, and so
when the time came, he was having success, so were we.
The song already existed with another friend of ours called
mad One, but then wwe wanted to do rock versions
or heavy versions of these wrestler's theme songs, and they
(16:59):
got to pick the bands they want to work with,
and obviously he was like, I'm working with pod you know.
So all we did was take his original song and
just make it heavier, and then I jumped in on
a verse and but he's he's family. I mean, to
this day, we still do a lot of charity stuff
in San Diego. He's an amazing cat and we just
don't really play that one live because you know, it
(17:20):
was kind of we got to do it for WrestleMania
actually when he won the belt years ago in Chicago.
But it's just I think people would they actually request
that song, but it doesn't really make sense.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's rays song, you know, we did it for me.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, But I think if you, like, as a wrestling
fan myself, because here's the thing, I'm just I'm just
throwing this out there, but like as a wrestling fan myself,
like I would, and again, I'm just the minor part
of the fan base. Like if I hear it, I'm like,
oh my god, it's Po D and Raymond stereo song.
But if somebody else is like, oh that I don't
know what this song is. It's time to go get
another beer, a back break kind of thing. But I
(17:54):
mean I would be excited if you know, they want
to add that to your set.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And I'm just saying you throw it out.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I gotta pull the tabs out on that one.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
The emotional connection with all these songs, like you were
saying earlier, like with Boom when when you know, when
they're fighting and stuff. In nine to eleven, Boom was
one of the songs that was on the list not
to play, but then we had another one out alive
that was like still getting played, So it was like,
you know, there's that emotional connection with different songs. And
we hear a lot of our military friends and brothers
(18:26):
and sisters out you know, abroad that they trained to
that song. They're bombing stuff, just blowing things up and
Boom and they like, oh wow, dude, it's on everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And then the other time that I sit here and
think about Boom is when you guys were in the
movie roller Ball when they used that song in the movie.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, what well, then what about here comes to boom?
These ye whole movie?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And did you get any royalties off of that?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Or it was he no, we got we got paid
a fee.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
And then but then I think they kind of it
was like a sneaky job where we had found out
somebody said this movie is out and we had no idea,
and then so we hit up management. We're like do
we get paid for this? Like oh yeah, and then
they totally see them out. We're like, oh that's awesome.
We're grateful. But then when we finally saw the movie
and we're like, wait, this whole movie is based around
this song. We didn't get no red carpet tickets, we
(19:16):
didn't get to go meet the activists, none of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
When we found out Henry Wrinkler was learning how to
play Boom on a guitar, I was like what.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, We're like we got none of that stuff. Not
that we wanted some, We just want to be a
part of it. But I guess they figured if they
just paid us a decent amount beforehand and not let
us know too much information, then we wouldn't ask too
many questions.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Just keeps giving. Dude, like video games Hell Driver two,
which is part of Halo, Like they're using it on
that you know, Madden last year?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah. Five.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
I was like, dang, we'll get text from friends like
do you know you have the new Madden game?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Or you know in the Halo commercial. We're like, no,
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:53):

Speaker 3 (19:59):
We're sending to me, we're here, are we getting some
for this? Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
No, they let us know. It's just we're busy sometimes
and we don't go check our email.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, and again this just shows the test of time
of your guys's music that again, you've been doing this
for a while, it's still relevant for things today, Like
I go back to it again, youth of the nation
that can stand today what's going on in today's society. Boom,
same thing, alive, same thing. And it's just an awesome
(20:26):
feeling that no matter what age group discovers POD, they
could relate to that song in today's moment.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, for sure, I think. I mean, we can never
plan that, but we can be true to ourselves when
we're writing the music, when we're writing the lyrics, and
that is our hope that we're always encouraging people, inspiring people,
we're loving trying to love people through our music, and
with those songs, we're lucky that they've Yeah, it was
(20:56):
a song.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
That needed to become a song because we had done
a bunch of charity work for column buying shooting and
we became, like, you know, a very charitable band, and
when that happened two blocks away from our rehearsal spot,
we were like, oh, we definitely got to write a song.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, it just happened. It was organic.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You know, it wasn't like we were capitalizing.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Alive happened to be number one on MTV, t r
L and even rock radio when nine eleven happened, you know,
so it Yeah, it meant to be.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
It was meant to be. That's all we that's all.
That's what we believe. It was just meant to be.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Like Marcos always says, everything's meant to be. But like
the way you guys see Youth of the Nation, obviously
I'm the.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
New guy, you know, the younger.
Speaker 5 (21:39):

was like that, that's what made me start to play music.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Here I am and here.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You are getting It's yeah, it's so weird, one of
those full circle moments. It's like, you know, I say,
I grew up here in Nashville. I've lived here my
entire life, and I used to listen to the station
that I do a morning show on, and I would
grow up listening to it with my dad. And then
here it as I wake up every morning getting to
be on the station you grew up.
Speaker 4 (22:03):

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
