WAGE WAR INTERVIEW | The Punk Rock MBA podcast (Cody Quistad & Chris Gaylord) 

if your name is Gaylord and you can make it through highschool safely, you´re up for something powerful.

Respect Finn for interviewing a band you’ve been critical of!

Watching an interview between a band and one of their vocal critics is just so real. We never really see these moments where these bands actually discuss and directly address some of their common criticisms, so this is really historic to me in a way.

Loved this interview/podcast! Wage War seem like really level-headed guys. Really like how they handled your criticism in good stride. So entertaining

I 100% agree that you guys have finally found your lane. The new album is phenomenal !! Keep kicking ass gentlemen!

Its great to finally get both perspectives of the band and listener when it comes to switching up styles. Great interview

Wage War if you are looking at these comments just know this is easily my favorite album you guys have put out hands down

I sincerally hope one day archtiects and wage war do a co headliner tour. Maybe cody could hop on stage during architects set and play some riffs with them

It's crazy how much this band has blown up. I remember seeing these guys around all the time growing up in the Leesburg area in the Empires days and I actually had some college classes with Cody back in like 2015. Their success is a huge inspiration to me and my friends

YESSSS excited for this!!! I've been annoyed with Finn for harping on them!!! Respect for the intro man 🤘🔥🔥

Love Cody's broken cheeto stach. Looks hard

I saw Wage War at Blue Ridge this year and they were hands down the best band I got to see. The crowd was insane, so much energy. I can’t wait to see them again.

I DEFINITELY didn't expect this interview. Good stuff Finn.

16:45 for the Doomsday riff

so cute to see this omg

I lol that Chris is smiling for about 95% of the interview

i hope he finally cleared up the question whether their band name means to wage war or if it is a war between wages

Been a fan of a wage war since deadweight and recently got the privilege of seeing them on beartooths tour and let me tell you yall fucking smack live. Pressure is definitely one of my all time favorite albums. Pressure has a mix of everything wage war has to offer and then some.... love this band

I discovered wage war on my lamb of god Pandora channel and I've been so into what this band is doing keep it up 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Few interesting notes from the video I found interesting: It was interesting hearing them talk about Octane. I dont know anyone who has sirius radio. The only time I've ever heard Octane was in a more "edgy" brewery in Denver. My wife and I went with some friends to hang out and I heard Beartooth...asked what was playing and they said Octane. I think that is a perfect description of octane, "Edgy Brewery Music". Different enough to attract an edgier crowd but not so scary if a normal person hears it they'll just walk out lol. Also found it really interesting how they mentioned that "we are about" to see a shift to singles. Im pretty sure you've been talking about that for like 2 years now and was, of course, first picked up on by BMTH. It is interesting to hear first hand from a band that thinks this is new when in reality they're late to the party. Not really a fan of the music but was a good interview and interesting to hear from them first hand about a the less than positive reception of their 3rd album.

You should invite someone from Parkway Drive to talk about their initial journey and how they manage to have a whole cult of people following them!

Damn how cool of you to get them on here Finn! Got some video material for morning cardio

Doesn't matter if it's generic if it's 99% better than all the other music like it

when Cody was talkin bout Tom Searle it brought tears to my eyes 🥺😭❤️

Great video! Good Pod. Let's do Deafheaven next. They totally changed their sound.

Perfect timing for my lunchbreak! Excited for this one

I'm a very picky metal head and I love wage war the lamb of god sound (my favorite band) and the clean vocals are amazing I don't give a fuck what anyone says wage war is a fucking amazing band and they r everything I expect from a metal band 🤘💀🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘

awesome interview guys!

Wage War are the shit man. Love how cool Cody and Chris are

I saw these guys before they were huge on the Blueprints tour with Dayseeker.

I fucking love Pressure and all your other stuff as well

You should interview Ronnie radke

Really interesting to hear a band that could be described as "generic metalcore" reflect on that so candidly. I actually just gave these guys first album a chance and I think its pretty a pretty fresh take on metalcore especially for 2015.

I don't give a damn what anyone says, Pressure was a goddamn banger.* I also respect the opinion that it wasn't a banger, I just loved that album.

I could’ve listened for another hour

Didn’t expect to see this happen but nice one finn

Manic was a banger!!

Nice guys

Drinking game: drink a shot everytime someone says the word Like. But awesome interview. Glad i finally watched it.

seem like some decent dudes !

Good interview. I usually enjoy the architects influenced bands than architects themselves

Iirc Papa Roach once accidentally wrote a song where the guitars sounded similar to a BMTH song. Give Me Back My Life and True Friends I think the songs were

Blueprints is still their best album, don't care if its generic metalcore.

I missed wage war when they opened for beartooth a couple months ago because I was too busy pregaming in my car. Huge mistake, I will redeem myself this February!

The only time I'll ever say anything critical on social media is about something I like. But on the other hand, I'm much more likely to comment when I have encouragement to offer.

This has aged well now that they've also ripped off After the Burials Behold the Crown riff lol

is that moustache for real?

Get that man to a barber.

Real music people buy vinyl period.....................

Fuck Spotify

That is an unfortunate last name bruh. In my school he'd have been crucified lol

6 minutes into this interview and i'm getting sick of all these "you know"-fillers, cody you are a good guy but holy shit...

uh

JFC, stop saying "like" so much.
