With a new album on the horizon, Fraser of Chief State stopped by to give us an update on when we can expect it to drop. The pop-punk band from Vancouver, Canada is eager to hit the road after playing a sold-out show with supporting Youth Fountain's sophomore album release. We dive into the new record a bit while going over how the show went. Which was Chief State's first show back since the beginning of the pandemic.   🎃Get Magnolia Park To Perform WWWY🎃 Sign petition ➡️ https://chng.it/p6CRNn2B   Podcasts are available on all streaming platforms: https://beacons.page/thelimelightpodcast George Powell: @GeoPowelll Shana Davidson: @powerpointpunk   Chief State Socials: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/chiefstate Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chiefstate/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/chief_state TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstate Website - https://www.chiefstate.com/   Poeta: "Anxious Racing", Single Available Now - https://open.spotify.com/album/6AAEbit4031ZModR2oRIlO?si=CMwPM6hxSd-AbD6OEle1VQ   Debut Album 'Golden Fields' - (iTunes) https://music.apple.com/us/album/golden-fields/1191363234 (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/1AAjJTBa95dYypxjsldn6U?si=IcWyCqg-QBC9A3hAZ9NltA   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/poetaband Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/poetaband Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/poetaband YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyzxFWZ0LlqecMcLSRjfo3w/fee

Let's say you get a phone call from one of your favorite bands and they needed you to fill in for a member on their tour run, would you drop everything to perform? Because that's exactly what Michael did when Brent from August Burns Red called him in the middle of his work shift. Even though it has been quite some time since Michael's band Convictions has been on the road he wasn't missing out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Maybe we will see both bands tour together sometime in the near future. Until then, you can catch Michael and his band live after announcing a headlining tour for their most recent album, 'I Won't Survive'. This run will be from March 18th to April 10th!    🎃Get Magnolia Park To Perform WWWY🎃 Sign petition ➡️ https://chng.it/p6CRNn2B   Podcasts are available on all streaming platforms: https://beacons.page/thelimelightpodcast George Powell: @GeoPowelll Shana Davidson: @powerpointpunk   Convictions Socials: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ConvictionsRock Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/convictionsband/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/ConvictionsRock TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@convictionsband?lang=en Website - https://www.shop.convictionsrock.com/   Poeta: "Anxious Racing", Single Available Now - https://open.spotify.com/album/6AAEbit4031ZModR2oRIlO?si=CMwPM6hxSd-AbD6OEle1VQ Debut Album 'Golden Fields' - (iTunes) https://music.apple.com/us/album/golden-fields/1191363234 (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/1AAjJTBa95dYypxjsldn6U?si=IcWyCqg-QBC9A3hAZ9NltA Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/poetaband Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/poetaband Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/poetaband YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyzxFWZ0LlqecMcLSRjfo3w/fee

Chicago has birthed some of the most prominent pop-punk bands in the scene. You have Fall Out Boy, Knuckle Puck, Action/Adventure, and Belmont just to name a few. I wonder if there is a correlation between the deep dish pizza and the music? Either way, Fluorescents is following in their footsteps as one of the next bands to be on the rise. Tyler joins us to give some insight into when we can expect new music, and what his favorite music releases were of 2021.   🎃Get Magnolia Park To Perform WWWY🎃 Sign petition ➡️  https://chng.it/p6CRNn2B   Podcasts are available on all streaming platforms: https://beacons.page/thelimelightpodcast George Powell: @GeoPowelll Shana Davidson: @powerpointpunk   Fluorescents Socials:   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fluorescents.chicago Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fluorescents.chicago/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/FluorescentsIL TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fluorescentschicago?lang=en   Poeta: "Anxious Racing", Single Available Now - https://open.spotify.com/album/6AAEbit4031ZModR2oRIlO?si=CMwPM6hxSd-AbD6OEle1VQ   Debut Album 'Golden Fields' - (iTunes) https://music.apple.com/us/album/golden-fields/1191363234 (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/1AAjJTBa95dYypxjsldn6U?si=IcWyCqg-QBC9A3hAZ9NltA   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/poetaband Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/poetaband Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/poetaband YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyzxFWZ0LlqecMcLSRjfo3w/fee

Is this festival lineup too good to be true? Should we be skeptical of a one-day, thirteen-hour show? Will we have to choose between certain artists to see due to set times? The biggest emo/pop-punk festival of our existence is in full swing and all we can do is hope to get a pre-sale ticket before selling out. During this podcast, we go over the logistics, rumors, facts and release some evidence that a second day might be added already.    Podcasts are available on all streaming platforms: https://beacons.page/thelimelightpodcast   George Powell: @GeoPowelll Shana Davidson: @powerpointpunk   Poeta: "Anxious Racing", Single Available Now - https://open.spotify.com/album/6AAEbit4031ZModR2oRIlO?si=CMwPM6hxSd-AbD6OEle1VQ   Debut Album 'Golden Fields' - (iTunes) https://music.apple.com/us/album/golden-fields/1191363234 (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/1AAjJTBa95dYypxjsldn6U?si=IcWyCqg-QBC9A3hAZ9NltA Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/poetaband Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/poetaband Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/poetaband YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyzxFWZ0LlqecMcLSRjfo3w/fee

Hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana, Relics are ready to hit the studio once again to please us with their catchy choruses and intricate guitar riffs.

Thankfully, the New Jersey scene has a handful of professionals who help keep the community thriving throughout the years in this music industry. Greg has been promoting/booking shows since he was a teenager and currently has a home base at the House of Independents in Asbury Park, NJ. Although he is not touring or a member of Like Moths To Flames anymore, he still drums in his current band The Air I Breathe. He also has plenty of ideas in the works to get the local scene a place to grow. Which we look forward to seeing them come to fruition in the near future.   Podcasts are available on all streaming platforms: https://beacons.page/thelimelightpodcast   George Powell: @GeoPowelll Greg Diamond: @thegrediamond   The Air I Breathe Socials: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheAirIBreatheBand Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/taibband/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/TAIBband Website - https://downrightmerchinc.com/collections/the-air-i-breathe   Poeta: "Anxious Racing", Single Available Now - https://open.spotify.com/album/6AAEbit4031ZModR2oRIlO?si=CMwPM6hxSd-AbD6OEle1VQ   Debut Album 'Golden Fields' - (iTunes) https://music.apple.com/us/album/golden-fields/1191363234 (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/artist/1AAjJTBa95dYypxjsldn6U?si=IcWyCqg-QBC9A3hAZ9NltA   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/poetaband Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/poetaband Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/poetaband YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyzxFWZ0LlqecMcLSRjfo3w/fee
