artist friendly kenny vasoli the starting line

More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Huddy, Ryan Key of Yellowcard, and Orville Peck, Kenny Vasoli of the Starting Line will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.

Throughout the past decade, the Starting Line have largely stayed active by playing their classics across various tours, including the 10th anniversary of Say It Like You Mean It in 2012, and releasing their three-song Anyways EP in 2016. However, the emo and pop-punk elders returned with their first album, Eternal Youth, in nearly two decades this past September via their own label Lineage Recordings. Taking influence from Lifetime, Drive Like Jehu, and Title Fight, the band have been busy debuting those new songs live, including at this year’s When We Were Young Festival and their own headlining run. Stopping by the Artist Friendly studio, the Starting Line frontman sits down with Madden to open up about their comeback.
