    Sons of Town Hall

    2026-05-01 | 47 mins.
    Imagine if the Lumineers were the TITANIC's house band, and they performed Springsteen on Broadway. That is Sons of Town Hall, and they are our guest on Season 04, Episode 14 of “Load-In Through the Back.”
    A story-driven transatlantic folk duo composed of singer/songwriter David Berkley and producer Ben Parker, the pair navigates themes of love, loss, and the human experience through the lens of 10th-century seamen George Ulysses Brown and Josiah Chester Jones.
    Part stage production. Part musical. 100% authentic. 
    David and Ben join us remotely from a hotel room outside Salem, Massachusetts, to discuss their latest record and new podcast, writing within the confines of a non-traditional world, the timeliness of comedy and timelessness of music, and so much more. 
    Their new album “Of Ghosts and Gods” is available now wherever you stream or purchase music.Visit SonsOfTownHall.com and follow @SonsOfTownHall on social media for tour dates, merchandise, and more!

    Alien Ant Farm

    2026-04-17 | 52 mins.
    No, it’s not like the movies… it’s even better. We’re talking to Dryden Mitchell of Alien Ant Farm on Season 04, Episode 13 of “Load-In Through the Back.”
    Since bursting onto the alternative rock scene in the early 2000s with hits like “Movies” and their iconic take on Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal,” California rockers Alien Ant Farm have been a mainstay of festival lineups and radio programming for nearly three decades. 
    Dryden joins us remotely to discuss the grey area between Sade and SLAYER, how bus tours broke the band, tour buy-on’s, finding your authentic voice, and denouncing self-doubt. 
    AAF recently released a brand-new single entitled “Reasons” via Judge and Jury Records. The 25th Anniversary Edition of their breakthrough album “ANThology” is also available for purchase at AlienAntFarm.com

    Steve Poltz - RETURNS!

    2026-04-03 | 50 mins.
    We love Steve Poltz. Steve Poltz loves us… and Steve Poltz. Lucky for everyone, he’s our guest on Season 04, Episode 11 of “Load-In Through the Back”.
    Fair warning– if you’re hoping for a traditional interview episode, this one IS NOT for you.
    We field a phone call, and you get to listen. It’s absurd. It’s brash. It’s everything we’re thankful for about this friendship. 
    We chatted about his new album. We talked about his iconic band The Rugburns. We also get in the weeds about politics, films, and Buc-ee’s. 
    You know what, maybe listen anyway? 
    Poltzy is chronically on tour. He released his brand-new album “Joyride” in January of this year. Visit Poltz.com and follow @StevePoltz to hear the tracks and find out when he is *inevitably* coming to a town near you.
