She's gonna have one hell of a comeback. I'm rooting for her 🙌🙌🙌

[@notevenzach]

hoping for the fastest recovery for this band.

[@stuartbixby]

Still sending all my love, prayers, and good vibes to Madi and the YOTK crew and their loved ones

[@Flacoisbored]

Such a sick, slept on pod! Dont ever stop!

[@eyez2thaground]

Having kind of a shit night, glad I get to listen to this podcast tonight. Especially this episode, Madi makes me hopeful for the future of YOTK. Also, sick thumbnail for this ep. Madi killed it at Outbreak, love the vid of that set.

[@alexpeak16]

Saw YotK supporting Unearth at the Camden Underword last weekend and they were fucking amazing, blew everyone out the water and slained them for good measure. Madi was incredible. If this is what's to come especially with a Kurt Balllou produced album on the horizon, we can look forward to some truly special material!

[@eranxbe]

I went to the Dortmund show she mentioned, was so insane and I wish I knew more songs of YOTK at the time😢 I will definitely catch them up again

[@sockwithaticket]

I just found YotK with the new EP. Madi killed it. Also, Serration are sick, cool to hear them get a name check.

[@ovaloffice6869]

saw her in dortmund. wonderful band and in this lineup a mega grooving fun. Ripped me apart before all other bands :D and love the ep

[@arc.insight]

it's interesting, i grew up in the anarcho-punk scene of the early 2000s (which was sort of parallel to hardcore, both musically and politically)... we often used the term "female-fronted" but it was more with a sense of reverence or pride. i guess it felt more like when a business nowadays represents themselves as "woman owned." there were a lot of women in the scene, who were amazing, and to me it never came across as some sort of niche specialized novelty or a tokenized term. this was also in an era when it wasn't easy to find music online, so sometimes you'd be ordering a record from a distro just based on the description and other RIYL bands. and, because men and the male voice had been over-emphasized during many phases of heavy music, we were sort of searching for that balance-to hear a woman's voice, both literally and figuratively. i never would have imagined that it comes across as dismissive, because it was very much the opposite for me... it almost went without saying that most of those records were gonna be awesome. but i suppose the fact that we don't describe bands as "male-fronted" does make it feel a bit strange in comparison.

11:36 the many times I’ve heard that in high school lmao

[@noahcolegio7124]

Tears for fears always on the mind thru this whole conversation because "this. Is. The year... Of. The. Kniiiiiiife"

[@Gary-nr4bp]

I shut off the moment he said "check some bevs."

[@ScopedExposurePodcast]

Peace out loser

[@Gary-nr4bp]

[@terranhealer]

I thought all rock stars used the cocaine to get awake…not Red Bull like us plebs 😂

[@franktank4511]

Cocaine is trash. It only last 10 minutes, your nose bleeds, your dick doesn't work, you feel like shit for days and you spend hundreds of dollars. That shit is for the birds man.

[@positronikiss]

cocaine is a terrible terrible thing
