since all the bands were doing full album plays this year at the festival, i just had to know what Midtown album frontman Gabe Saporta would have picked if they were playing @whenwewereyoungfest
which Midtown record is YOUR favorite??

since the festival is called “when we were young” , i wanted to ask each artist that i got to chat with who their influences were when they were first getting started in their music careers all those years ago
i remember listening to the demos to this album on a burned CD on the way to my first summer job, and i remember just being so floored and amped up by the tracks — even at 6 in the morning
i’ve always reflected the sentiments that The Used’s debut self-titled album, from the art aesthetic to sound design , to the vocal delivery and instrumentation, all played a huge role in bridging the gap between a lot of the emo tinged post hardcore and more of a mainstream sound— truly the “best of both worlds”— which other bands often imitated, but never duplicated. that album could very well be one of the most important albums in the scene.
and i just had to ask Bert McCracken of The Used what artists were inspiring him around the time this album was being written

chatted with the one and only Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship and Midtown backstage at @whenwewereyoungfest and finally addressed how the hell he’s managed to stay looking so young all these years
“the debut product Good Boy Protection (For Bad Bros!) is an all-in-one daily moisturizer that contains SPF and retinol.”

figured it was only fitting that the first interview clip that we posted from wwwy should be one with the band who i saw for my very first concert when i was a teenager, and the very reason i’ve had a music career for the last 16 years.
can’t say how meaningful it was to start the interview off by telling them just that.
thanks to jordan and cyrus for taking the time to sit down with me this weekend

Our guest on this weekend’s show will be Derek Sanders.
Derek is the singer of the band Mayday Parade, and you can also hear him releasing solo tunes under his own name.
We’ll be chatting about how the band got started, their track on the Disney compilation “A Whole New Sound”, their upcoming performance of the album “A Lesson in Romantics” at When We Were Young Festival, and much more during the broadcast.
I’ll be spinning choice cuts from Mayday Parade’s discography, plus few of Derek’s solo tracks, as well as an eclectic mix of genre-adjacent tunes— both new and old— on air during the hour.
Thanks to Derek for chatting with us.
This one airs Saturday, October 12 at 7:00 PM CST on Planet Radio 106.7— stream online at the website or download the Listen To The Planet App from your app store to listen to the Planet, anywhere on the planet.
