Revisiting EP2 with Chris Enriquez because Spotlights recently released a Rarities album. It has some killer songs on it that were not available previously on vinyl. Hooray!As I come to the end of Year 2 of And Now The Band, I am going to revisit some of the early episodes. It's amazing to see how far this thing has come since it's inception. Has there been a favorite episode for you? Over 300 numbered episodes.

Host Tom is joined by Elijah Kellogg of floodlit for a wide-ranging conversation about grief, purpose, and the role of heavy music in processing real-world trauma.Elijah discusses floodlit’s latest single “Ama,” his vocal influences, and the challenge of balancing clean singing with harsh vocals in modern heavy music. The conversation turns deeply personal as Elijah shares how his time doing community development work in Myanmar — and the abrupt evacuation caused by a military coup in 2021 — became the emotional foundation for the Floodlit album.Together, Tom and Elijah explore how music evolves once it’s released, why heavy music carries cultural weight, and the responsibility artists have in creating safe, inclusive spaces without losing intensity. They also touch on the changing nature of hardcore shows, mentorship in heavy music, and upcoming releases including “Akko.”A thoughtful, emotional episode for listeners interested in heavy music with depth, meaning, and purpose.#floodlit #HeavyMusic #PostHardcore #Metalcore #MusicAndMeaning #UndergroundMusic #HeavyMusicPodcast #IndependentArtistsElijah Kellogg floodlit, floodlit Ama, heavy music podcast, post hardcore interview, metalcore podcast, grief in music, underground heavy bands, emotional metal, modern heavy music discussion, independent heavy artists
