Release The Captive: F**K Hospitality Management
<p>The Breakdown<br>Most bands try to look cool on stage; Release The Captive just proves that behind-the-scenes chaos is where the real magic happens—and how they still crush it despite juggling life and moving into a new place.</p><p>Imagine a bunch of Texas musicians navigating tech nightmares, Craigslist hunts, and still managing to deliver a raw, authentic metal experience that keeps fans moshing and the scene alive. Ryan Rayle hosts this hilarious and honest conversation with the band that’s been tearing up Austin for six years with new ,music on the menu.</p><p>You’ll discover: how to make tech issues disappear faster than Ryan's wife's mirror, the surprising power of local shows for testing new material and why being “Craigslist certified” might just be the new badge of honor in the underground scene. We also break down the band's unique blend of old-school influences with a fresh, nu metal revival—plus, their plans to dominate Texas stages and eventually, the world.</p><p>This episode is for musicians tired of overproduced nonsense, for fans who want to hear what real guys sound like when the mics are on, and for anyone who loves a good story about resilience, friendship, and loud guitars. If you’re longing for a peek behind the curtain of a truly genuine band, this one’s for you.</p><p>Episode Info<br>Band IG: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHkzMWRDZDJ5d2xVNjVpaTZCN1NRZVh3R1hDQXxBQ3Jtc0ttSEt4OVVjS3hCelNZRkRsU1RIOVI1OXhENk5OdnlvbkY2NVBqem1HWGNMamphMkE1NVU0WFU0T19JYkJBbWZuTGhmY0Rjb1J0bkFNSjhwU0dLRWRhYVV5QWpPV0Uwb0MxaEJ3VEpfS1dnU1RFN3dXcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Freleasethecaptiveband%2F&v=TdlT5-ck_xk"> @ / releasethecaptiveband </a><br>Band Website: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmZQMlFfX2pqSXUzNW1MeTdXMFZfYUllVWdrd3xBQ3Jtc0trd19ZUWZvTHhTTnZ4LThrTzNHRGI0ZmNBc3BVZmhsRHNZWkRLdHgwT0xrZDAxQ3AzbWk3aEFMbXlIMFM1cXI2SnQ4bEx5SVZvNW5XMXI0S2N3YzBMTS1IOHcyTkJiOTkzUzk0YWxab2M4elJtd3ZQWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Freleasethecaptive&v=TdlT5-ck_xk">https://linktr.ee/releasethecaptive</a><br>ATXMP Website: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3NxcmNZWUVJdXZkSjN3ZUtTeFpPWFJnQ19XQXxBQ3Jtc0tsN2Q2M2pUc2EzQS1GeHJoVmYwY0x6Z2NRMWdvNnJKSno3VWxxdkE2WF9CMzBTc0wtci1PbnpWbDdJRXlST0lqSjdJNE1oNlk2Qy1yTHNveWFKTURzSzZoTkV0UzJiYUgtR1RHT19KbHdNbG1ZMFFjWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fatxmp.transistor.fm%2F&v=TdlT5-ck_xk">https://atxmp.transistor.fm/</a></p><p>Subscribe to ATX Metal Podcast on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkcGMH48nuyScFmRSX5D9rA"> / @atxmetalpodcast </a></p><p>Sponsors / Affiliates<br>Come and Take It Productions: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjRzOHozWVRxdGw5LTNwSmV6QzREaTZFWG5Hd3xBQ3Jtc0ttMUY0QVpWVGVYa3FxaC1pYl9YRkFNaGR2VlNXQ1ZTRlF3YnlSb1REalQxaVFudHBZZXU2TG9ERk02ZmdDWWxEaE1XNnpobjlsT1otaU1kbl9tZHJZdmRBNEFMbE9NdmY2cTRLSHJKZlZIVzc5Y1JCMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.comeandtakeitproductions.com%2F&v=TdlT5-ck_xk">https://www.comeandtakeitproductions.com</a><br>Come and Take It Live: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0czNzhDMkdyXzBnUTRGcFdiZlY2QmVJYUw4Z3xBQ3Jtc0trWUQwdDRlY1FiMmpDV2NUTzVkZkNsN0s1cU1wUmNmSlhaVVNsQXlZelB1UGllT2tkejZnQlAtRFEyMXZETW9yaE1JWE9MZXdHdDFTeklmSXNPYUJielR0bXdjVWJYV0xpbW9GUWNXc3lITEVXekNySQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.comeandtakeitlive.com%2F&v=TdlT5-ck_xk">https://www.comeandtakeitlive.com/</a><br>No Control Radio: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbU1kdXZ3N2FFZFRxcFM3YzdlRE9hRzR1aHQxd3xBQ3Jtc0ttQXRMenVkNW9DTk5VLXlEV2c1N3BOMWhrQl8tLTVLcUFtN05nSzhDLU5qZG9BN1ZzMW5femlWS2dna0V1cXhBMEI1VldUcmJORDBDYjhVbk5MR19Mb0VkQ1FMZ3BwSDRlclZQaXpHcVNBZHpOcF9EMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klbjfm.com%2Fshow%2Fno-control%2F&v=TdlT5-ck_xk">https://www.klbjfm.com/show/no-control/</a></p>

Foreword: The Band is My Gamble
<p>The Breakdown<br>Most band stories sound like Hollywood scripts — but this one might just beat them all. Andy Alderson from San Antonio’s Foreward spills a wild ride from band chaos, political degrees, to signing with Seek and Strike, all while reminiscing about high school hairdos and the glory days of MySpace. Think your band struggles are epic? Wait until you hear how ego, ego trips, and a little bit of ego management slowed this band down—and then fired them back up.</p><p>You'll discover:</p><ul><li>How a band formed in 2016 turned hiatus into a comeback with three hit singles, landing a deal with Seek and Strike.<p></p></li><li>The surprising link between politics, heavy metal, and partying your way through a music career.<p></p></li><li>The real truth about the grind of social media, from the horror show of MySpace trains to today's never-ending content treadmill.<p></p></li><li>How a label with roots in Sumerian and New Century Media is helping Foreward hit the next level—and why major labels are both a blessing and a curse.<p></p></li><li>The daily battles of balancing music, business, and ticking boxes like “ear protection” at shows, all with a wink and a nod.</li></ul><p>This episode is perfect for fans curious about how a local band navigates the tech hustle, the heartbreaks, the hilarious mishaps, and chasing a dream even when the road is paved with debt and questionable hair choices. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to keep the metal alive and thriving in the digital age, Andy’s story proves: hustle, humor, and a bit of chaos are the true secret weapons.</p><p>Episode Info<br>Band IG: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDM1dHZreUxjYk1DbVBUYmFDWk9RME9wTmZLQXxBQ3Jtc0tuakRQckFFWUFtSlU0dmk5SmpRYWRhTkV4RVVlcTlOQVZHYjM3V3MyaG1FQ2pXVDVQekFNRXM1SmhYbG1UR29pTXdabm1iVWFQWGtSMm1EakpHOXFHeXFVX2x3RVhxRmg3QnN0UkdxQVpvWS1nZDRSWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fforewordband%2F&v=NTjL65NiT1g"> / @forewordband </a><br>Band Website: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1hnZ25HT1JJRE8wUTBwWld0UEFwMEx2SVl1UXxBQ3Jtc0tsRjdBcjA5VEVJSXRUb2Jtc0R3ZHRjSzJ0djc5M1o3eTcyUzRpVHM5MnZLNzhieEJGVTZ3OWVZcnItZXQ1VWV4YUVMTlNxSndRbUtyR3BGdWtHc3VGd1M5ZExWdEFXVVM4aDQ0b0NIc1NoeVlyUGxCTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.seekandstrike.com%2F&v=NTjL65NiT1g">https://www.seekandstrike.com/</a><br>ATXMP Website: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmJvU21XdkNGeUZmTEtnMWdwZVlvMVFPbEFxUXxBQ3Jtc0ttWk5raVdOMTJaSU0wQVdxNmI2R2JwcEdVTjhKYXJmSm9Zd3RGYlN1eW43NmY2SVJROTNod3QzTzl0TFdkOWV5UlliRnczVktialFxZHlKdjFaNldBb3hjLVR4RU1LelhieUV4WXRJRW94MUlzVFdHNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fatxmp.transistor.fm%2F&v=NTjL65NiT1g">https://atxmp.transistor.fm/</a></p><p>Subscribe to ATX Metal Podcast on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkcGMH48nuyScFmRSX5D9rA"> / @atxmetalpodcast </a></p><p>Sponsors / Affiliates<br>Come and Take It Productions: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWpydl9nTmNHRGYyN3dUNnpnRExKTTl2MWFoZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuXzJ5M3g5VUFJeWtmVEpoTWsySVMyOWhkZWFuV2pXazE5bmgxUnRJRGdKVGQ5WUdXOWpzc1Y2Qjl6R3hrTmpCdnBOMlBIdlVKWnhMWUpnWXdXSEh5M0xZTWZCcFRYUktnVmk2bktMTzVZQy1PVU1idw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.comeandtakeitproductions.com%2F&v=NTjL65NiT1g">https://www.comeandtakeitproductions.com</a><br>Come and Take It Live: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2xfdU9qbEJmdWEzcGh2dm9YakR5QTAxNDlQZ3xBQ3Jtc0trZkd0eF9rNDhBdHJJU19KUVNHQXZBdXdUcUtSNEJvZkszNE9pQXhRdUZ2SGRRbmxkd0tmakhTR2JBVXc4S3VVWjVXZ1FsSnoyUk5YelhsY3N1a1Vab0tMZlJvUFdHcV9NLVFrNk81cjNXQVlWeTNHSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.comeandtakeitlive.com%2F&v=NTjL65NiT1g">https://www.comeandtakeitlive.com/</a><br>No Control Radio: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnAtdEN2M3dzMjJTREhFQ1pEcjRES0xPSlNJQXxBQ3Jtc0ttLV9UVExwVjZ6MFJlSXJZekpxcTBYNjFPalp3d241Y1VxWm12a0k1YWJmU0E2eVdIMDN0dGxZdUw0M0dnaDdBNVpyX3dJNmZUN0ZuWkRiZHZUYkhVQXd1RWNKLUhWcGZ0Q19kd1VfbjFxWFY1ZTJxRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klbjfm.com%2Fshow%2Fno-control%2F&v=NTjL65NiT1g">https://www.klbjfm.com/show/no-control/</a></p>

719: From Mountain Tops to Bass Drops
<p>The Breakdown<br>In this engaging interview, Skyler McCarthy from the bands 719 and Silence Becoming shares his journey in music, the creative process behind his projects, and his passion for outdoor adventures. Discover insights into metalcore production, the importance of collaboration, and how to support local music scenes.</p><p>You ever have a backstage moment where you totally miss who you're talking to? I did — turned out I was chatting with a drummer of a famous band, and I didn't even know! <br>Drop a 🔥 if you've ever had a “wait, that was who?” moment.</p><p>I'm Ryan, your friendly neighborhood metalhead, and this is the kind of randomness I get into — from rock climbing to making music in Texas. My guest? Skyler from 719 and Silence Becoming, who just casually rips through synthwave, metal, and when he's not on stage, he's conquering Big Bend. (Border walls? Not his vibe!)</p><p>Turns out, drummers might be the real MVPs — they’re holding up everything, even if nobody notices! Plus, his solo project 719 is all about collaborations and catchy short tracks, perfect for our Attention Span Society. </p><p>What’s your favorite way to wind down after a crazy day?
