Late For Load In

This week on Late For Load In, Chris Davis and Josh Korel are joined by music journalist, publicist, and podcast host Tori Kravitz!

Tori got her start in the music industry at just 15 years old, interviewing bands and building her own outlet, Rock Forever Magazine. That passion eventually led her to becoming the official Vans Warped Tour Pit Reporter, spending four summers documenting one of the most iconic tours in alternative music.

Today, Tori works as a publicist at Atom Splitter PR and hosts She's With The Band on Knotfest, where she highlights the women shaping the music industry.

We get into her early days as a music journalist, the chaos and unforgettable memories of touring with Warped Tour, and what it's been like returning to the festival years later. Tori also breaks down the world of music publicity, how bands land interviews and media coverage, and why relationships and genuine passion are so important to building a lasting career.

Along the way, we talk about handling criticism, overcoming self-doubt, navigating burnout, the challenges women face in the music business, and learning to find fulfillment outside of your career.

It's a great conversation about taking chances, putting in the work, and finding your place in an industry that doesn't always come with a roadmap.

John Goblikon of Nekrogoblikon joins Chris and Josh for what might be one of the most unhinged episodes of Late For Load In yet.

John takes us through his rise from life insurance salesman to frontman of the world's premier goblin metal band, how "No One Survives" changed everything for Nekrogoblikon, sharing the stage with Dickie Allen, and what he's learned after nearly 20 years with the band.

We also dig into why metal connected with John in the first place, the importance of actually being present at shows, how the metal scene embraces the weird, and his thoughts on where heavy music is headed.

Outside of Nekrogoblikon, John has built an entirely different career as the host of the Right Now Podcast and a stand-up comedian. He talks about the terrifying reality of performing comedy, bombing in front of audiences, and why musicians, comedians and professional wrestlers might have a lot more in common than you'd think.

And because it's John Goblikon, we also somehow get into living with Satan, life insurance, Chili's, Claudio Sanchez, goblin magic, hacking Waymo, fighting robots, his hatred of trolls, and what "going Goblin Mode" really means.

Come be a goblin.

Showing Teeth’s Addison joins the show for a conversation about the unexpected rise of one of heavy music’s most exciting new projects.

Addison shares how Showing Teeth grew from videos of her practicing screams and vocals online into a full-fledged band, despite never having a calculated plan for turning social media into a music career. She talks about growing up in Kentucky, discovering heavy and progressive music, starting out as a bass player, and eventually deciding to stop trying to fit into other people’s bands and make exactly the music she wanted to hear.

They dig into Showing Teeth’s genreless approach to songwriting, pulling inspiration from metalcore, prog, electronic music, industrial, black metal, EDM and beyond — all while prioritizing emotion over fitting into a specific scene or sound.

Addison also tells the story of how Dan Book discovered her through TikTok and ultimately used Periphery drummer Matt Halpern to get her attention. What started as mentorship and collaboration quickly developed into a creative team and friendship surrounding Showing Teeth.

The conversation also covers Addison’s transition from performing online to becoming a live frontperson, playing early shows with Beartooth, building a live band from scratch, preparing for her first real tour, handling online criticism, and navigating the pressure of suddenly working alongside musicians she grew up admiring.

Plus, Addison explains why she’d rather work at Zumiez than write music she doesn’t believe in, why Showing Teeth is only going to get weirder, and why Whitechapel’s Phil Bozeman is officially the “Deathcore Justin Bieber.”

This week on Late For Load In, we're joined by Logan Beaver, Front of House Engineer for Motionless In White.

Logan takes us behind the console to explain what it takes to deliver arena-quality live sound every night. From recording local bands in a basement studio to mixing sold-out arenas, he shares the story behind his career and the lessons he learned along the way.

We also discuss the recent Bring Me The Horizon arena tour, rehearsing without relying on soundchecks, balancing multiple touring roles, learning from veteran engineers, and why being a great hang can be just as important as technical ability in the touring world.

Whether you're a musician, engineer, or simply fascinated by what happens behind the scenes of live shows, this episode offers an inside look at one of the most important jobs in modern touring.

The conversation also explores imposter syndrome, co-writing, the pressure of following up successful songs, AI's impact on music, why authenticity matters more than ever, and how modern metalcore continues to evolve.

What does touring really do to your mental health?

This week on Late For Load In, we're joined by Daniel Rinaldi—licensed mental health counselor, former frontman of Bedlight For Blue Eyes, and a therapist who now works almost exclusively with musicians, touring crew, managers, and creative professionals.

Having experienced life on the road himself, Daniel brings a perspective that's incredibly rare. We dive deep into the emotional highs and lows of touring, the identity crisis that can come when life revolves around being "the person in the band," and why coming home from tour is often one of the hardest parts of the job.

Chris, Josh, and Daniel also discuss the pressure artists feel to always appear grateful, balancing family life with a touring career, social media's impact on mental health, and why it's okay to admit that even your dream job can be difficult.

Whether you're an artist, crew member, industry professional, or simply someone who's ever wondered what life behind the curtain is really like, this is an honest conversation about the realities of touring and the importance of taking care of yourself—both on and off the road.

🎙️ This Week on Late For Load In — we’re joined by producer powerhouse Dan Braunstein!

If you’ve been listening to heavy music in the last few years, chances are Dan has had a hand in shaping it. From his early days in California — where a single Meshuggah track flipped his entire musical worldview — to co-founding Volumes, Dan’s story is anything but ordinary.

After stepping away from metal to spend years working in pop, Dan made a thunderous return to heavy music, producing some of the earliest and most iconic Spiritbox releases. In this episode, he shares his unconventional journey, what he learned crossing genres, and what it really takes to push the scene forward.

Packed with wisdom, inspiration, and behind-the-scenes stories, this is one you don’t want to miss.

This week on Late For Load In, we're joined by the one and only Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria — and trust us, this episode is a wild one.

From moving to the U.S. at just 17 to becoming the frontman of one of the biggest bands in the scene almost overnight, Danny’s journey has been anything but ordinary. He's faced the highs, the lows, and the chaos that comes with living in the spotlight — and he’s not afraid to talk about it.

Oh, and did you know Danny's dog is literally Air Bud’s grandson? Yeah... that Air Bud.

We also dive into the recent Warped Tour drama, and Danny sets the record straight on what really went down.

This one’s honest, hilarious, and super insightful — enjoy the ride.
