On this week’s episode, Jess was flying solo as she welcomed back two very special previous guests! Betty of Gold Steps and Zack of When The Sun Sets teamed up and joined her on the podcast once again!

The two of them came on to chat about their upcoming tour together this September, plus a whole bunch of other music and non-music related things. Of course, we went off on plenty of random tangents during our conversation and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way!

This was such a fun conversation filled with smiles, laughs, and good times. We're sure you’ll enjoy it as much as Jess did and be sure to stick around for the Midwest goodbye that ensued at the end! All that being said we hope you enjoy the conversation Jess had with Betty and Zack as much as she did!

*Please note that this episode is best viewed on YouTube as we did some screen sharing during our conversation*

That being said... On this week's episode of JAMXP we’re taking a trip straight back to the days of fun profile backgrounds, music playlists, bulletins, HTML, and the almighty Top 8, because MySpace is making a comeback! Jess and Chris are diving into all the nostalgia, memories, and chaos that made MySpace such an iconic part of our internet lives. So, dust off your HTML skills, pick your Top 8, and let’s get into it!

On this week's episode, one of our all-time favorite guests Mike Herrera is BACK on the podcast!

We had an absolute blast catching up with Mike! We talked all about Warped Tour DC and Long Beach, upcoming shows and festivals MxPx is playing, chatted a little bit about Goldfinger, and even got some insight into the new album they've been working on! Plus, we asked Mike a few fan questions and, of course, went off on plenty of fun tangents along the way.

All that being said, it was so much fun catching up with Mike, and we hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it!

On this week's episode, Jess was flying solo as she was joined by Ionei of Australian Metalcore band Ocean Sleeper!

She had a blast chatting with him about the bands journey thus far, their new album coming out sometime in August, songwriting, growth and milestones as a band, their fans, tour stories and of course went off on a few fun tangents along the way.

This was such a fun chat! So sit back, relax, and we hope you enjoy the conversation Jess had with Ionei of Ocean Sleeper as much as she did!

On this week's episode, we were joined by Drew, Tim, and Chris of the brand-new alternative pop-punk band Quite Loud! If Chris looks familiar, there's a good reason... he joined us back in 2023 to chat about his other band, Hidden In Plain View and it was awesome having him back on the show, this time with a brand-new project and two more amazing band mates!

We had an absolute blast talking with the three of them about how Quite Loud came together, how they all met, the story behind their debut single, what new music is on the way, their songwriting process, and, of course, plenty of off-topic banter along the way. It was a fun conversation filled with laughs, music talk and a look at what's next for the band.

So sit back, relax, and we hope you enjoy this conversation with Quite Loud as much as we enjoyed having them on the podcast!

On this week's episode, we were joined by Matty, Kean, and Mauricio of the Los Angeles-based pop-punk/easycore band Protect Your Heart!

We had an absolute blast chatting with the three of them about the band's journey so far, how their sound has evolved over the years, and what they've learned about themselves along the way. We also took a deep dive into the meaning behind some of their songs, asked about their dream tour lineups, and covered so much more!

We were having such a great time that this conversation ended up running a little longer than usual—but we think it's well worth the listen! We hope you enjoy this conversation with Protect Your Heart as much as we enjoyed having it.

On this week's episode, we're joined by Chris Kelly of hard rock/metalcore band Hillhaven! Chris is a former fill in guitarist of Ice Nine Kills and is doing some incredible things with this new venture.

We had an absolute blast chatting with Chris! We talked about the band's somewhat rapid success, what it was like hearing Hillhaven on SiriusXM Octane, the stories and inspiration behind some of their songs, what the future has in store for the band, and, of course, went off on a few fun tangents along the way.

This was one of those conversations that didn't end when we hit stop... we kept talking long after the recording was over! Keeping that in mind we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.

On this week's episode, Jess was flying solo as Jonathan Norris of Texas-based hard rock band Kingdom Collapse joined her on the podcast! She actually met Jonathan back in May when Kingdom Collapse rolled through Northern Wisconsin on tour with Red, so it was awesome getting the chance to catch up with him.

They talked about his longtime friendship with their bassist Aaron, who he's known since he was a kid, how music became his light through life's toughest moments, the band's latest singles, what fans can expect from their upcoming record and the overall vibe it's bringing, life on the road, tour stories, and so much more.

Jess had an absolute blast catching up with Jonathan and learning even more about Kingdom Collapse. All that being said, we hope you enjoy this conversation just as much as she did!
