#136 Steve Austin of UXO / Today is the Day

Steve Austin, vocalist and guitarist for Today is the Day, recently
formed a new band called UXO with his longtime friend Chris
Spencer of Unsane. We invited Steve to chat with us and wound up
having one of the longest, most interesting discussions we've had
in a long time. We talk about how the UXO project came together,
where his drive to create introspective, destructive music comes
from, how his relationship with his family molded the person he is
today and how his children changed his outlook on life and music.
We also try and figure out whether or not Bring Me the Horizon's
Oli Sykes really has beef with Chris Martin and Coldplay or if he's
just trying to get more people to pay attention to him. He claims
he did not know that his stunt at the NME Awards was directed at
the band, but we're not necessarily buying it. Also, just to warn
you, there will be graphic depictions of a surgical procedure one
of us had in this episode... let's just say the results were
unexpected. Songs:UXO - "Trauma"Toothgrinder - "The House (That
Fear Built)" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
