Into The Cave is a podcast where musicians talk about the lyrics that mean the most to them: the ones they’ve written and the ones that inspire them. Each conversation dives into songwriting, emotion, and the stories behind the music. Featuring artists from indie, emo, post-hardcore and alternative scenes.
New episodes every week.
Joe (Nord.End) - Propaganda, Hardcore Culture, Corrupted Compass
Joe from Not End takes me through their latest EP propaganda, a concept record about manipulation, consumerism and the ways propaganda shapes the world around us. We dive into the stories and ideas behind the lyrics, including the frustration of feeling stuck on repeat and what are the ways to get out of it.
In the second part, we talk about life as a musician: the pressure to impress others, the daily grind, authenticity, and the increasingly blurred line between being a musician and being a content creator. We also talk about music as a way to find your compass, create community, and connect with people on a deeper level.

Emily (Letters Sent Home) - Environmental Awareness, Power, Identity
If you're listening to it on the day of the release, everyone say Happy Birthday Emily in the comments!
Emily of Letters Sent Home talks about her song September 29, date of her birthday, but which is actually about grief. We then talk about Letters Sent Home's Elements, and how most of humanity is in denial of what is happening to the earth right now. And we finish with Sofia Isella's The Doll People, about what it is being a woman, misogyny and feminism and identity.

Ben (Slow Drain) - "I could see myself in the people around me"
Ben of Slow Drain joins me to talk about the Canadian alternative scene, growing up in France, feeling different, and now finding a home in Canada. We also talk about how much nore fulfilling it is to be kind, but how easy it can be to fall into being mean. To start the conversation, we use the songs Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park, and Slow Drain's latest release, Untitled.
