#236: TesseracT Guitarist James Monteith

TesseracT guitarist James Monteith is our guest this week. We talk
about the meaning behind the title of the band's new album
Sonder, the dark storytelling process for their music video
“King," how shorter records make more sense these days, the
importance of trends and timing in modern music, his day job as a
music publicist, the correlation between Brexit in Monteith's
native U.K. and Trump's America, how technology is a part of the
identity of today's youth, the psychology of the modern music fan,
how big retailers are to blame for the mainstream fashion trend of
metal shirts and more. Petar, Brandon, and Joz tackle John Travolta
praising Fred Durst, our excitement level for the new Daron
Malakian and Scars on Broadway record, Burn the Priest's voicemail
advertisement, and the food that best represents America (according
to Jozalyn). Songs: Tesseract - “King” Octopus - “Supernatural
Alliance” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
