We chatted with our mates in XIII Weeks at a pub in the UK last week where we discussed their debut EP, 'In Memoriam' turning 1, what the future holds for them with regard to new music, moving forward with new members, and them beginning to hit gigs much harder as 2020 progresses! We last highlighted XIII Weeks on Issue #9 of Dear Untitled in April 2019, but we had to bring them back due to how much their music stuck with us and to check in for our listener's sake! Grab a drink and come listen in on Episode #18 of Dear Untitled!

It's hard for us to believe that one year has gone by since Lastelle's debut EP, 'Harrow' fell upon our ears. It was love at first listen for Nic, but he wasn't the only one. 'Harrow' presents an relentless wall of sound which crashes into your ears across the 5 track collection catching the attention of many listeners in the UK and across the globe since release. Actively (and aggressively) touring, Adam, Jonjo, and Rich, carved out some time in their latest string of weekend shows to chat with us and reminisce over what the 'Harrow' means to them at this point, as well as what we can expect looking ahead to 2020 and beyond from this vibrant young act! Tune in and get acquainted with some of our closest mates in the UK!

We had the opportunity to sit down and catch up with Blueshift, a 4-piece Progressive Metal/Djent act, hailing from the Southern US, and talked with Josh Dunn (Lead Vocals), Cody Riggins (Guitar/Secondary Vocals/Sampling), and Dakota Gomez (Bass) about the latest progress on the road to the creation of their debut album. Crashing onto the scene in early 2018 with their blazing debut singles, “Disconnect” (March 2018), “Undertow” (August 2018), and “Saudade” (October 2018), Dear Untitled featured this young act on our very own debut Issue #1 in August of 2018! Since then, Nic has kept in close touch with their progress and their journey to a new album....and now we have it announced! Beginning their 2020 campaign with a solid single, "Eternia" (Feb 7th, 2020), the new album "Voyager" is on its way to our ears on March 13, 2020. Don't miss this update and check out their single "Eternia" out everywhere NOW!

After showcasing their 2018 LP release, 'Inner Signals', on Dear Untitled and hanging out over summer 2019 at Imatterfest with If I Were You , we figured it was about time to bring our friends Randy Pasquarella and Daniel Conklin back to talk about what they have been up to since AND dive further into their new single, "False Reality" just for you!

Based in St Louis, Discrepancies is familiar with the musical talent necessary to "make it big" and they have been putting in the hustle - opening for acts such as Korn, Breaking Benjamin, touring on Warped Tour…

Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona (US), Marked; Life is all about the passion in the music, according to their lead singer, Sam Laponis. Come get an earful…

Taking music to the next level, Cody Matthew Johnson has received accolades for a large amount of work, including recent nominations and awards for his track "Saudade" from the score of 'Resident Evil 2', as well as the entire score of 'The Devil May Cry V' nominated for best score/music. We discuss immersive audio, spatialization and sound design, impulse responses, sampling, music licensing, and so more in this episode so don't miss out!

Neon Graves, a metalcore band based in Amarillo, Texas, recently dropped an extremely passionate and diverse debut full length EP, 'Disarray', so we dug into that in this interview, talked about the beginnings of 'Neon Graves', and of course, fanboy'd about some amazing writers/artists in the metal genre! Hop in, sit back, and enjoy this very thorough discussion with a band you definitely need to know!

At first glance, outside the crust and the grit of this Maine (USA) hardcore act, it seems as though Bad Move can't be touched. The reality is that all these dudes truly care about is supporting their scene and being their for their hardcore/music family which is why we can't help but be excited to share this conversation with you! Jump in and find a new favorite beatdown riff!

We are grateful that Nic was able to coordinate our time zones to make this live interview happen with Ryan and truly enjoyed discussing topics from their music, their local music scene, and even the global music scene and direction from a world away's perspective! Take a dive with us into the realm of The Motion Below in this interview!

Talking everything from band formation to past careers and present issues, Nic covers quite a bit of ground in our interview with Tyler and Darin, all while focusing in on their musical development and process which has brought them to the 'I Hope You Believe In' EP.  Take a one listen and we know you're bound to be hooked - these guys are super chill and we are glad we got to connect!

As one of the two remaining founders of Acaedia, guitarist Javier Sardinas initially set out to make music he loved during in a period where he felt the industry had turned its back on him. Bringing a story of determination and ambition, he talks Acaedia’s creation, influences, and we ask our fun questions along the way!

In light of their recent cover of the now, 20 year old track by Korn - "Falling Away From Me" , Ray Jimenez, vocalist of Acaedia (Also Works of Flesh), had the time to site down with us and talk about that track, the impact Korn had on him growing up, and more about how Acaedia came together!

Setting the stage: A suburban building, where both music videos to date for Midfield were shot, the drummer works, AND is the home for Midfield's practices, hosted our conversation session for the artist interview this month. Nic had a chance to sit down and really dig deep into two of the minds behind Midfield, Tyler Patchell and Kurt Nubbemeyer. Everything from White Claw pounders, to band formations, to Adventure Time, and so much more was discussed - you're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry, but most importantly, you're gonna love Midfield!

So we had Variant on before, back on Issue #9 of Dear Untitled, and it was just so much fun that we really couldn't say no to bringing Devin back to talk! In all reality, although that is a true statement, what Variant is cooking up next with their latest track, "Mosquito" is incredible and going to set the music world on FIRE, so you NEED to hear it. You definitely have to listen up and check this interview out for more details on what the future holds for Devin, for the band, and just more about his thoughts on the current music scene! Of course, give us a shout and let us know what you think on our socials!
