  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
    What’s left to be said about Johnson that hasn’t already? He became a formidable name in the WWE throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s before transitioning into the world of film.
    Since then, he’s seen intense success that’s led to a slew of memorable movies (The Other Guys, Moana). Most recently, he starred as the titular character in Black Adam — a passion project that “disrupts the superhero genre” — as well as Red Notice and Jumanji: The Next Level. 
    He also recently launched a new skincare line called Papatui.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by country singer-songwriter Alexandra Kay.
    Kay is a viral country star who’s shared stages with Tim McGraw, Clay Walker, and Tracy Lawrence, all before releasing her debut album. That project, All I’ve Ever Known, was shared last October, chronicling her divorce in tender detail.
    “This album is the most raw, vulnerable, and wide open I have ever been when creating music, which can be terrifying and healing at the same time,” she said in a press statement.
    Later this year, Kay will go on tour with Jelly Roll, and the run launches in late August. You can grab tickets here.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Aric Improta.
    Improta is a Grammy-nominated drummer who plays for the prog-metal band Night Verses and formerly FEVER 333. Beyond his blistering showmanship, Improta often incorporates technology into his playing to push the boundaries of the instrument and reimagine a different future.
    “The goal is always to feel as possessed by the music as possible. When I see a performer with absolute control, it’s usually impressive but rarely breathtaking. I prefer to see that expert level of control pushed to its furthest limit,” he wrote in 2023, accompanying a photo of the drummer in mid-air.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Griff.
    Griff is a U.K. singer-songwriter who cites Jack Antonoff, Imogen Heap, and James Blake as influences.
    She played only one show supporting her 2019 EP, Mirror Talk, then created the 2021 LP One Foot In Front of The Other in her bedroom during pandemic lockdowns, which shot her to fame. Now, she’s readying the release of her latest single, “miss me too,” which was written in between tours.
    “I booked a little Airbnb and sent my location to Lostboy and Siba, who I co-wrote ‘Black Hole’ with,” she says. “We converted the living room of the cottage into a studio and wrote ‘miss me too.’ I had been trying to write a song for a while about losing yourself, and missing a past version of yourself that wasn’t so broken.”

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Petey.
    You’ve likely seen Petey on TikTok, who’s made his mark creating comedic, surreal videos featuring a rotating cast of characters that he plays himself.

    “I try really hard to do a good job with this incredibly unique and cool opportunity I’ve been given. That brings me a lot of joy and peace,” Petey told Alternative Press last year.

  • On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach.
    More than 20 years since their inception, Papa Roach continue to thrive.
    Their 2000 album Infest seems to grow bigger every year as new people discover songs like “Last Resort” and “Blood Brothers.” They also remain on the road in support of their 2022 LP Ego Trip, including wrapping the second leg of their own Rockzilla tour and supporting Shinedown across the U.S. last year.
    “I’m not good when shit’s just calm, quiet, still — I need some chaos,” Shaddix told Alternative Press in 2022. “I’ve got too much energy inside, and if I just sit stagnant, it drives me fucking mad. I need that release — that’s why I go run all the time. That’s why I go to the gym, because I’m an energetic being. So performing is such a healthy experience for me. I get to explode, physically and emotionally.”

  • Celebrate 50 episodes of Artist Friendly as Joel Madden is joined by multi-GRAMMY award-winning rapper Lil Wayne.
    Wayne, who joined Good Charlotte onstage for “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous” at When We Were Young back in October, has shifted from an off-the-wall rapper — always packing a punchline — to an elder statesman who can still spin woozy bars. After releasing his platinum debut album, Tha Block Is Hot, when he was 17, Wayne continued to make his mark with Tha Carter series, which boasts bonafide classics like “A Milli,” “6 Foot 7 Foot,” and “Hustler Musik.”
    All these years later, Wayne remains inspired, as evinced by his latest project, Welcome 2 Collegrove, a collaborative LP with 2 Chainz, that was released in November.

  • Country artist and songwriter Orville Peck joins Joel Madden on this week's episode of Artist Friendly.
    Since his arrival, Peck has become synonymous with the queer side of country music. With his 2019 debut album, Pony, the fringe-masked musician proved that punk and country are alike while rocking a dark baritone and breaking genre conventions. His follow-up, 2022’s Bronco, explored those freedoms more deeply.
    From his friendship with drag queen Trixie Mattel to crooning about his lovers, Peck offers necessary representation in country music. You can also catch Peck live at his upcoming Rodeo festival, which serves as a three-day celebration of country music, comedy, drag, and more.
