On the record with... MOD SUN
This week, Tyler sits down with one of his favorite artists in the scene right now, MOD SUN. The word “genuine” comes up a few times throughout this interview, and it’s no surprise as this episode will show you that MOD SUN may be the most genuine and real artist the scene has right now. He really wears his emotions on his sleeve and it all comes out unapologetically in his lyrics.
If there's one thing you should come out of this episode with, it's this: MOD SUN has never been one to do things by the book nor has he ever had the desire to be like any other artist for that matter. He is only interested in doing things the way he's always known—his way.
In this interview, MOD SUN talks about taking time to reflect on the steep incline that has been his rise in popularity since 2021, and just being grateful to be in the same conversation of being one of the main acts to help fuel the resurgence of pop-punk.
They also talk about the unconventional rollout of his newly released album God Save The Teen and the risky decision to release the album with no pre-released singles. When it comes to songs on the album, “Single Mothers”, the cover of The Goo Goo Dolls' classic song “Iris”, and "Courtney Fucked Kurt" become the main focus as each has its very own special meaning.
All of that and everything in between was discussed throughout this interview. Listen above or watch below!
