On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Damiano David of Måneskin.
Måneskin — the ’70s-inspired Eurovision winners who became viral stars — have been championed by young rock fans. Over the past few months, though, their frontman David has been branching out by sharing songs from his first solo album (including the Labrinth-produced “Silverlines” and “Born With a Broken Heart”), which is set to arrive next year.
In a conversation with Madden, the Måneskin singer reveals the importance of doing what makes you happy, missing family and friends on the road, and his upcoming solo project.

Tim Kasher of Cursive
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Tim Kasher of Cursive.
Kasher has fronted Cursive since the mid-’90s, leading the band through emo, post-hardcore, and dissonant experimentation.
Having just released their 10th studio album, Devourer, which represents “personal imperialism and the imperialism of relationships,” the band will support their Omaha peers Bright Eyes on tour in April.
In a conversation with Madden, the Nebraska-born indie rocker delves into his love of directing, the steady growth of the band’s near 30-year career, and Devourer.

Jessi Cruickshank
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jessi Cruickshank.
A self-described “comedian with too many kids,” Cruickshank has been involved in the entertainment circuit for decades.

In a conversation with Madden, Cruickshank dives into her love for boy bands, motherhood, her surprising answer to how she balances it all, and her first-ever comedy special “Minivan Money,” which is now streaming on Veeps.

Brandon Saller of Atreyu
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Brandon Saller of Atreyu.
Over the past year, the Orange County metalcore vets have stayed furiously busy. In 2022, they put out an EP trilogy that began with The Hope of a Spark and continued with The Moment You Find Your Flame and A Torch In The Dark.
Those releases culminated in the band’s heavy but reflective ninth studio album, The Beautiful Dark of Life.
Then, earlier this year, Atreyu unleashed The Pronoia Sessions — a 10-song collection that takes eight of their hits “to a whole new place” and features a pair of covers (Audioslave and Tom Petty).
