    Inside the newly minted In-N-Out Burger Sound Space at KROQ in Los Angeles, Jack Antonoff opened up about his thoughts on the music industry, touring, and the creative process behind Bleachers’ upcoming album, 'everyone for ten minutes,' due out on May 22.

    Talking with Klein and Ally, Antonoff detailed his desire to keep music authentic, his fight against high ticket prices, and his unique pre-release ritual for new music. “I listen to every album I made like a few days before,” Antonoff shares. “I listen to every album, and then I'll listen to the new one and then I'll feel in touch with the journey.”

    Jack doesn’t feel tempted to make changes after listening to the entirety of his discography, knowing that the studio is a safe space for him. “I don't ever want to change anything,” he says. “I'm filled with regrets in other ways, but not with the music. I think that's why I stay in the studio and stay on tours, that's like the one place where I really like, for lack of a better word, feel myself. Everywhere else is really complicated.”

    Antonoff also spoke in-depth about his relationship with his audience, and the importance for him to continue the conversation with the people that get it. Reflecting on the lyric, "only my people can see me," Jack explained that his music is intentionally designed to "sift out anyone who's not gonna get it."

    “When the band started the first song I put out was ‘I Wanna Get Better,’ and it was really intentional because I thought to myself, ‘I don't want anyone misgivings about who I am or where this thing is going.’ I remember at the time it was like, ‘oh we should put out ‘Rollercoaster,’ you know, it's such a catchy song,’ and I was like, ‘I love that song, but there's this other song I wrote.’”

    “I remember telling this to everyone, ‘I wanna like sift out anyone who's not gonna get it,’ which they thought was maybe a problem, but It's nice to just come forward as who you are,” Jack reveals. “Then you're just on a journey and a conversation with your people and it goes this way and it goes that way, but I'm not ever taking my eye off of them. And it sounds reductive, but if you just do the things that you love and are really authentic about what you do, it's hard to lose sleep at night.”

    'everyone for ten minutes' is out everywhere on May 22.

    Apr 6 2026

    To celebrate the release of their new album, 'Everything Glows,' Cannons stopped by the KROQ Sound Space in Los Angeles for a special performance and an exclusive interview with Kevin Ryder and Megan Holiday.

    Cannons describes 'Everything Glows' as their first album that they treated as a "full time job," making the entire process "very intentional, start to finish.”

    After rigorous touring to support the 'Heartbeat Highway' album, Michelle Joy took time to tend to her health, including a surgery and recovery, before diving into writing the next album with support from her band. “They made me feel so supported, this album we've grown closer than ever and we understand each other in new ways,” she says, “know how to hold space for each other and bring out the best in each other, and we wouldn't have reached this point in our relationship together without going through the struggles that we went through.”

    Check out the full interview above.

    'Everything Glows' is now available everywhere. The band’s co-headlining 'Afterglow Tour' with electronic duo, Bob Moses, is also now officially underway. Find a full list of dates at LiveNation.com.

  • All Time Low
    Oct 27 2025

    Celebrating the release of their new album, 'Everyone's Talking!,' All Time Low joined us inside the Helpful Honda Sound Space in Los Angeles for an exclusive performance for a room full of fans, along with an interview where the band unpacks their latest project and more.

    'Everyone's Talking!' arrived earlier this month, marking All Time Low's 10th studio album, featuring the new single, "The Weather." ATL will also continue their tour across America through the end of November before taking the trek international. You can find the full list of dates here.

    19 years since their debut album, Miles the DJ asked the band if there are ever conversations about continuing to grind it out in the same way they have for nearly 2 decades. "I think going into making this album, there was that conversation," shares Alex Gaskarth. "I think this many years into a career and this many albums into a career, there's that moment that you confront yourself in the mirror and you kind of go, 'does the world need another All Time Low record or have we told all the stories that we need to tell,' you know what I mean?"

    "I think we face that every time we sit down to start a new creative process, but last year we spent the year kind of doing these 20 year celebration shows and that put us in this frame of mind that we were just so appreciative and grateful for the fact that people were rallying around this band the way they were, and celebrating all the eras and all the albums, and we were like, 'look, I think there's more in the tank.'"

    "We either write a record or do happy 17 years of 'So Wrong, It's Right' or something," jokes Jack Barakat. "Make up anniversaries."
