Since forming in 2001, Hinder have made their mark through soaringly catchy anthems. Each of their albums has prioritized intention and growth, from the grunge-y beginnings of 2005’s Extreme Behavior to the introspective headspace of 2017’s The Reign.
In conversation with Madden, the Hinder frontman details how the band have evolved over the years, the 20th anniversary of their multi-platinum hit “Lips of An Angel,” and their new upcoming single, “Bring Me Back to Life."

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Brent Smith of Shinedown.
For the past couple of decades, Shinedown have been relentless in their mission, channeling pain, addiction, and the power to overcome into seven studio albums and countless shows.
During the pandemic, they cracked the mainstream, subverting their hard-rock roots with the viral piano ballad “A Symptom of Being Human” and inviting Jelly Roll onstage for “Simple Man” at Blue Ridge Rock Fest in 2021.
As Shinedown prepare for a busy year, Smith connected with Madden about his diverse musical influences, the journey of building the band’s 20-plus-year career, and their highly anticipated headlining tour with Bush and Beartooth.

On this week’s episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is bringing you an encore episode of his conversation with Lainey Wilson.
Over the past decade, Wilson has blossomed into a bonafide country star and recently performed in the 2025 Grammy Awards.
The Southern-bred singer has written tracks with Luke Combs, made her acting debut in Yellowstone (as well as had her songs featured on its soundtrack), and devised her own genre, “bell bottom country.”
The sound combines Southern rock, soul, and a distinctly Nashvillian POV, where she now resides. That’s best heard on her latest album, Whirlwind, which continues to play with the boundaries of her sound and includes a wistful duet with Miranda Lambert.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Bert McCracken of The Used.
From the beginning, The Used have captured the outpouring of McCracken’s rawest emotions.
“It’s more than my journal. It’s so intimate. It’s terrifying… I can’t help it. It’s a big part of what I believe music is about,” McCracken reveals.
From 2002’s self-titled to 2024’s MEDZ, the band have navigated lineup changes, inner turmoil, and loss — and then channeled that pain into unrelenting songs that ripple with urgency and emotional intensity. In a conversation with Madden, The Used frontman opens up about being an outsider, putting tragedy into his music, and the band’s 25-year career

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Joshua Roberts of Magnolia Park.
Since unleashing their debut album in 2019, Magnolia Park have pointed ahead, combining emo-soaked rock with ambitious world-building. But though their sound is rooted in classic pop punk, their music has taken a darker turn over the years.
Lately, the band have been fixated on nü metal, embracing the heaviness to tell a bigger story with their upcoming neo-gothic concept album VAMP.
In a conversation with Madden, the Magnolia Park frontman explains his love of anime, racism in rock music, and being the hero of your own story.

Artist Friendly is reaching another huge milestone, celebrating 100 episodes with actor and entrepreneur Cameron Diaz. After becoming a major star, Diaz stepped away from Hollywood in 2014 to “reclaim [her] own life” — which included exploring her passions and spending time with family.
Now, a decade later, she will return to the big screen for the aptly titled Back in Action with Jamie Foxx, which premieres on Netflix in January 2025. She also launched the organic wine brand Avaline with Katherine Power in 2020.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Brandon Saller of Atreyu.
Over the past year, the Orange County metalcore vets have stayed furiously busy. In 2022, they put out an EP trilogy that began with The Hope of a Spark and continued with The Moment You Find Your Flame and A Torch In The Dark.
Those releases culminated in the band’s heavy but reflective ninth studio album, The Beautiful Dark of Life.
Then, earlier this year, Atreyu unleashed The Pronoia Sessions — a 10-song collection that takes eight of their hits “to a whole new place” and features a pair of covers (Audioslave and Tom Petty).
