Tasty Licks
Three recent releases that should be on your radar!
2023 Year In Review
Ringing in the new year on a high note (literally) with our favorites from a memorable 2023. While it’s one for the books, we also look ahead to another event-filled 2024.
Capra – “Errors” album review
By way of its irreproachable ferocity and frankness, Errors is an album that rises to an insurmountable occasion, and is as special as the time it appeared.
Fan Conventions: A First-Timer’s Perspective
The people at a Con are willing to give you the dignity and respect that everyone else isn’t. Fan Expo Dallas was a truly unforgettable experience, and I’m excited about the next one.
Our Picks For Best Albums Of 2022
We here at Interview Under Fire think it would be a shame to ring in 2023 without celebrating our favorite releases of 2022.
Live Music Experience: Rise Against/The Used/Senses Fail
Honestly, art and culture could use a little more of Senses Fail’s oddball humor, The Used’s emotional authenticity, and Rise Against’s conviction.
Live Music Experience: August Burns Red
While most of their peers are trying (and only sometimes succeeding) to show us how metalcore bands age gracefully, August Burns Red, still in the middle of a decade-plus prime, are showing us how some metalcore bands can actually defy age completely.
Live Music Experience: Bayside/Thrice
Thrice and Bayside are bands from opposite American coasts, but together prove that a band’s prime can last for a long time if they can be humble and consistent.

There seems to be a new trend of really stretching the limits of compatible subgenres of metal for the sake of co-headlining tours, especially for veterans of the scene. Let me tell you. I’m here for it. You should be too.
