In this week's interview, Tyler and John sit down with
lovelytheband's frontman Mitchy Collins. Beyond sharing his
biggest gig pet peeves, the discussion centers around the band's
massive success with their hit single "broken".  Spending 76
weeks on the Alternative Billboard chart, the song set a
Billboard record at that time, only to be later broken by All
Time Low's "Monsters". Mitchy shares the irony behind this and
reflects on the writing process of "broken", admitting that he
initially hated the song after writing it.

The interview also covers the band's signing to a smaller label,
and Mitchy shares a hack he created to get his foot in the music
industry. He recounts a session with Linkin Park's Chester
Bennington that played a part in "broken"'s story just months
before his passing. The success of "broken" caused the band to
fall into bad habits, as they tried to chase creating hits.
Mitchy also discusses their latest track "make me wanna die" and
how it relates to his personal struggles.

Towards the end of the interview, they talk about the band's
upcoming album 'if we're being honest', featuring a great
collaboration, and their summer tour with Beach Weather. Mitchy
also sheds light on the difficulties of dealing with major record
labels when it comes to money, and shares his goals for the
band's own label, Happy Accident. Overall, the interview offers
an insightful glimpse into the band's journey so far and their
plans for the future.
