On this episode of the You Make The Scene podcast, I had an awesome conversation with Kasey Karlsen of Deadlands, diving into everything from her early creative journey to the band’s latest wave of momentum. We talked about how she found her voice—not just musically, but as an artist—and how social media helped open doors and build a platform that’s now reaching a global audience.
Kasey also shared insight into what it was like collaborating with artists like The Pretty Wild, and how those creative connections continue to shape Deadlands’ sound and vision. We got into the heart of the band’s new EP Seven, discussing the writing process, themes, and what the release means to them as a project and as a team. This episode is packed with honesty, laughs, and a behind‑the‑scenes look at one of the scene’s most exciting up‑and‑coming bands.
