Meditation, Dungeons & Dragons, and a cave hidden behind a living room wall—Porter McKnight turns a backstage hang into a fascinating conversation.Porter shares how he’s practiced meditation since he was a teenager, how visualization shaped his experience as a soccer goalkeeper, and why he believes it’s important to “start from the inside.” He also talks about touring internationally, life in Germany, Magic: The Gathering, and what makes a fun D&D campaign.And then there’s the cave: Porter describes the centuries-old house built into a mountain—and the mysterious space hidden behind a wall.00:09 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=9s) — Meet Porter McKnight00:42 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=42s) — Hair, self-image, and his wife’s opinion02:05 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=125s) — Vienna sausages, syrup, and starting from the inside03:18 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=198s) — Why meditation matters to Porter04:38 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=278s) — The soccer practice that introduced him to meditation05:16 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=316s&pp=0gcJCWMAwfN6Pr3D) — Visualization, mental rehearsal, and a game-saving moment07:26 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=446s) — Building a personal meditation practice09:57 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=597s) — Touring internationally while living in Germany11:26 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=686s) — The return of rock music12:31 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=751s) — Dungeons & Dragons, Magic, and gaming14:05 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=845s) — Meeting his wife on tour16:19 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=979s) — Life in an old German house—and a cave behind the wall19:03 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=1143s) — What to do with a hidden cave20:29 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=1229s) — D&D advice for beginners23:02 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=1382s) — Why tabletop campaigns stay with you24:07 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=1447s) — Band life, friendship, and touring together25:48 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwo2karH4&t=1548s) — The story behind Porter’s gold Doc Martens#atreyu (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/atreyu) #PorterMcKnight (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/portermcknight) #Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast) #RockMusic (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/rockmusic) #MusicPodcast (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/musicpodcast) #Meditation (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/meditation) #DungeonsAndDragons (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dungeonsanddragons) #MagicTheGathering (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/magicthegathering) #BaldursGate3 (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/baldursgate3) #BehindTheMusic (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/behindthemusic)

Oleander - Aftershock 2026
We caught up with Oleander at Aftershock for a hilarious conversation about coming home to Sacramento, playing the very first Aftershock back in 2012, touring life, new music, and somehow spending WAY too much time talking about potatoes and sandwiches.
The band looks back on how much Aftershock has grown since its early days as a one-day festival with two stages, talks about reconnecting with old friends at festivals, and shares some of the bands they were excited to see.
We also get into the realities of touring — including the legendary story of a tour that went sideways after the hotel didn't have HBO — plus their upcoming plans for 2027.
And yes… somehow the conversation turns into an air fryer tutorial, baked potatoes, mustard sandwiches, fried bologna, and the proper way to make a road-trip sandwich. 😂
But the biggest news? Oleander has new music on the way. The band recently released "Fourth of July" and is gearing up to release another single, "Bruise," with plenty more music planned.
