It’s on hold, with the rest of the podcast. This website will continue to feature new blogs and other content, and may change substantially some time in the not-too-distant future. But for now, Issue Oriented is taking a break. Something has come up. In case you wind up splitting out on us before we make our awesome comeback, thanks for tuning in and taking part.

For the rest of you – stay tuned.

Here’s the second half of our exclusive interview with The Dillinger Escape Plan, whose new record Option Paralysis comes out on March 23. Enjoy!

Here’s a video of Joey Cape (Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut) and Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River) performing “To All My Friends” (originally by Lagwagon) for Issue Oriented episode 52. The entire episode is now available and also includes an interview with Freddy Madball. Enjoy!

The Dillinger Escape Plan are easily one of the most important bands of our time. So with the upcoming release of Option Paralysis (out March 23), we at Issue Oriented knew we had to bring you something special. So here is part 1 of our exclusive video interview feature with The Dillinger Escape Plan!

February is the month where holidays make people feel bad – bad about not having a Valentine, and bad about not being president. Which is why episode 52 of Issue Oriented is the perfect way to forget your woes. Go ahead – get lost in our eyes. We don’t have to tell a soul.

First, Joey Cape (Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes) and Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River) participate in a tag-team interview that covers a wide range of topics – from sadness, to money, to regionalism, and everything in between. Joey and Jon also gave a stirring performance live in the Issue Oriented Studio. Not to be missed.

Then Freddy Cricien, a.k.a. Freddy Madball, returns to Issue Oriented for a great exchange. This discussion touches on a whole bunch of big-people stuff, like religion and politics, as well as the release of Freddy’s new hip-hop record, Catholic Guilt. A great talk – listen in!
