More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with O’Shea Jackson Jr., Joss Stone, Lefty Gunplay, Joshua Roberts of Magnolia Park will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.

But though their sound is rooted in classic pop punk, their music has taken a darker turn over the years.
