Circa Survive's Brendan Ekstrom Runs Through His Touring Rig | Reverb Interview 

One of the most underrated guitar players in the game. This Day Forward and Circa Survive riffs are so incredible thanks to this dude. Thank you Brendan for being one of the most influential guitarists ever. Your riffs from TDF still sound incredible 15 years later

So stoked to finally see something circa related on reverb!

Brendan is my fav guitarist of all time and I’ve borderline have bugged him about it for so many years that I feel bad haha. I just love his musicality. Not about the fast fingers(although that is nice) but it’s about the song and conveying feeling and communication. I just really can’t get enough of it. Thanks for sharing this video.

Oh my god, thank you reverb!!

holy fuck Brendan finally got a guitar that isnt a telecaster?! I am completely baffled lol. I was lucky enought to run into Brendan twice before a Circa Survive concert. and of course both times I was completely intoxicated. The first time I asked him if they would cover a peaches and creme from 112, genius I know. but he got a laugh out of it. The 2nd time was in Philly and I asked him about his rig and I said the dumbest fuckin thing, "dude you never change your guitars, why dont you get a guitar with flames on it?" he looked at me like I had a dick growing out of each one of my eyes. He couldnt have been any nicer though just said how he loves the Melancon guitars so much. Super chill dude. and they rocked the fuckin place both times I saw them. God bless.

Stoked to see Circa and Russian Circles featured on here. You guys should feature Thrice sometime! Especially with the Fall tour being right around the corner. Reverb is where it’s at though. Keep the videos coming🙌🏼👊🏼

39?! This man ages like a fine wine

0:27 Swamp Ass is my favorite guitar color.

Pretty wild this guy’s tone went from br00tal metal stuff in This Day Forward to ambient spacey tastiness. Colin definitely crushed it on the drums in that group as well

so killer! Brendan is a awesome dude

He looks like a skate 3 character

Dude had a way simpler pedalboard than I expected.

Was this filmed at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago?

He must've Swedish heritage? Ekstrøm is a common last name in Sweden.

Does he run any effects through the effects loop of the amp?

Som maravilhoso

No bassist rig?

What's the song at the beginning

what's his shoes brand?

Eb rulez!

👍👍👍👍👍

That may be the only board in the world with a keeley tubescreamer and a keeley bluesdriver but no keeley compressor.

I'm 39

Aliás....cadê o som....

Who else thought he was being funny when he opened holding the lacroix and then realized that’s just him?

damn you sound like the reporter off vice

Kama *Suture Nice SG - what a waste! That's a lot of delay, between those two!
