Episode 47 Now Playing! John Nolan and Billy Hamilton
By Ronen KauffmanWednesday, September 2nd, 2009
Your good friend Issue Oriented just ordered you a double. Enjoy:
John Nolan (Straylight Run, ex-Taking Back Sunday) stopped by to talk and play. We discuss everything from Christian death metal to Long Island to food. Of course, we also talked about his new solo release Height (due this October) and all sorts of artsy stuff, too. And hey, remember that world premiere we gave you a few days ago, of John Playing “I Don’t Believe You”? Well this episode includes the entire performance – an Issue Oriented exclusive.
Then you’ll hear my interview with Billy Hamilton of Silverstein. We talked about navigating shifts in pop culture, the unshakable influence of one’s home-town scene, stupid hair, the band’s recent release A Shipwreck In the Sand, and much more.
And hey, did you notice the new IssueOriented.com? We’ve made a bunch of changes. Most obviously, we have a new logo and look for the site. We added a videos page, and made some much-needed improvements to navigation for the news and blogs. We also combined all of our previously separate blogs into a single blog that will be updated by our regular contributors. There’s more, and more to come – but right now what’s important is you. Go. Fulfill your destiny:
