Showing Teeth’s Addison joins the show for a conversation about the unexpected rise of one of heavy music’s most exciting new projects.

Addison shares how Showing Teeth grew from videos of her practicing screams and vocals online into a full-fledged band, despite never having a calculated plan for turning social media into a music career. She talks about growing up in Kentucky, discovering heavy and progressive music, starting out as a bass player, and eventually deciding to stop trying to fit into other people’s bands and make exactly the music she wanted to hear.

They dig into Showing Teeth’s genreless approach to songwriting, pulling inspiration from metalcore, prog, electronic music, industrial, black metal, EDM and beyond — all while prioritizing emotion over fitting into a specific scene or sound.

Addison also tells the story of how Dan Book discovered her through TikTok and ultimately used Periphery drummer Matt Halpern to get her attention. What started as mentorship and collaboration quickly developed into a creative team and friendship surrounding Showing Teeth.

The conversation also covers Addison’s transition from performing online to becoming a live frontperson, playing early shows with Beartooth, building a live band from scratch, preparing for her first real tour, handling online criticism, and navigating the pressure of suddenly working alongside musicians she grew up admiring.

Plus, Addison explains why she’d rather work at Zumiez than write music she doesn’t believe in, why Showing Teeth is only going to get weirder, and why Whitechapel’s Phil Bozeman is officially the “Deathcore Justin Bieber.”

This week on Late For Load In, we're joined by Logan Beaver, Front of House Engineer for Motionless In White.

Logan takes us behind the console to explain what it takes to deliver arena-quality live sound every night. From recording local bands in a basement studio to mixing sold-out arenas, he shares the story behind his career and the lessons he learned along the way.

We also discuss the recent Bring Me The Horizon arena tour, rehearsing without relying on soundchecks, balancing multiple touring roles, learning from veteran engineers, and why being a great hang can be just as important as technical ability in the touring world.

Whether you're a musician, engineer, or simply fascinated by what happens behind the scenes of live shows, this episode offers an inside look at one of the most important jobs in modern touring.

Thanks for listening! If you enjoy the show, follow the podcast and share this episode with someone who's passionate about live music and touring.

Cody Quistad of Wage War joins the show for an in-depth conversation about songwriting, creativity, and the future of heavy music.

The conversation also explores imposter syndrome, co-writing, the pressure of following up successful songs, AI's impact on music, why authenticity matters more than ever, and how modern metalcore continues to evolve.
