Riley Breckenridge is the beating heart behind the ever progressing music of Thrice. Together with his, bass playing, brother Eddie, front-man Dustin Kensrue, and guitarist Teppei Teranishi they have taken Thrice to yet another level with the release of their new concept album, The Alchemy Index. During their recent stop at the Ogden Theatre, Idiom Life's Brandon Russell and Mike Simmon got the opportunity to talk with Riley about the new album, the tour, eerie coincidences, and who the "spoon" is.

I sat down with Mike Basich at a small diner in Colfax, CA to talk about snowboarding, life, traveling, 241 outerwear, and his philosophy of what a snowboard shop should be. Mike Basich is a professional snowboarder and the founder of 241 outerwear. He is an accomplished snowboarder and photographer and is still in the game because of his passion for the sport and his continual quest of keeping it fresh.

Brandon Rike is the front man for Dead Poetic. His intense lyrics coupled with his amazing voice prove to be the perfect match on their second release, New Medicines. The only thing better than the new CD is their live show. During their stop in Denver, Idiom Life's, Dan English got the opportunity to talk with Brandon about the new album, what inspires him, and the deeply personal story behind the song Glass in the Trees.

Critically acclaimed poet, thinker, singer, and soul, Bradley Hathaway is known as “the poet who has never read poetry”. In 2004 Bradley wrote his first poem inside of his 1988 Ford pickup truck in Arkansas. He then toured the country in that truck performing at rock shows. In fact he toured so much that he eventually killed that truck. But luckily before that happened we had the opportunity to do the first ever Bradley Hathaway interview, or so he says.

Mikey LeBlanc has got to be one of the hardest working riders in the industry. Between his career as a professional snowboarder, owner and operator of Holden outerwear, as well as his major involvement in the Kids Know production, Love Hate, Mikey takes the time to talk with Idiom Life about snowboarding, life, Holden, and the one thing he would do again if he could go back in time.

When it comes to high energy performances and amazing stage presence Emery is at the top of the list. And helping to lead their passionate performances is keyboard/vocalist Josh Head. During their stop in Denver, at a small intimate venue, Josh steps out back to talk with, Idiom Life's, Aaron robertson. The interview tells about their dedication in self funding the first album, their views on church and religion, and the Christian coffee shop bubble that people can hide themselves in.

Further Seems Forever has had a weathered history, having three front-men on their three latest albums. I would have never suspected that to be the case after the hit of their first album The Moon is Down, after-all it was haled as one of the most influential albums for the up-and-coming emo genre. An album like that will usually launch a band into bigger and better things. In this case, however, Chris Carraba went their on his own. Now with their third lead singer, Jon Bunch, the band is trying to keep things rolling.
