Coming to you LIVE from Pasadena, we have our first in-person interview with Kat Leon and Nick Perez from HOLY WARS. If you like dark, poppy, industrial and anthemic tunes then Holy Wars are your new favorite band. They had a monumental year in 2022 with many high points including opening for Coheed and Cambria and Alkaline Trio in huge amphitheaters and releasing their debut album, "Eat It Up, Spit It Out" which was on all of our top albums of 2022. With millions of streams and tens of thousands of fans, Holy Wars continue to inspire us as artists, but also as friends.
We sit down to talk about how EMO influenced their early days of writing music and how emotion still lies at the core of their ethos to this day. Wine was also another featured guest on this episode.
