On episode 188 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Dylan Baumgartner of Slingshot!
Formed in 2018, Slingshot is an emo/post-hardcore band from Southern California. Comprised of Baumgartner (guitar & vocals), She-Ra (vocals), Armand Morillo (bass & vocals), and Annaleece Arellano (drums), this lineup of Slingshot has built a following through energetic live shows and an implementation of alternative, punk, and hardcore into their sound.
After releasing the EP Dawn of Decline and split EP Invaders From Uranus! with their friends in Split Image in 2023, Slingshot built on that momentum in 2024 with more live shows and new tunes "157AM," "Sons of Yoren," and "Rorschach." This year, Slingshot dropped their latest EP entitled Don't Get Lost Before Dusk in May, followed by their "Don't Get Lost" Tour.
On October 1st, Slingshot released a new music video for their song "Sound of Metal." The video was shot and edited by Baumgartner, and produced by his production company, Reelverse Productions. On October 20th, Slingshot is set to release their live EP entitled Dawn To Dusk, which was recorded at their homecoming show in Murietta, California from the "Don't Get Lost" Tour.
On this episode, Dylan talks with Mike about Slingshot's eventful 2025, including the "Don't Get Lost" Tour, the forthcoming live EP Dawn To Dusk, the mental health themes on Don't Get Lost Before Dusk, the inspiration and meaning behind the "Sound of Metal" music video, his engagement, and more.
This episode of the pod also features the live version of "X-Rated" from Slingshot off their forthcoming live EP Dawn To Dusk, available October 20th!
