S.13 E.11 – Jesse Barnett of Stick To Your Guns

Interview Under Fire Podcast

Crank it up. Way up. The hardcore times of Stick To Your Guns lives on with their highly-anticipated 7th studio album “Spectre.” Frontman Jesse Barnett is our humble guest as he dives into the influences and songwriting that have shaped this monster of a record into arguably the band's best work to date. It's also been the longest time frame in between album releases (2017), and Jesse and his crew are more than ready to unleash this newest chapter of STYG. He has come a long way since 2003, and now looking back on the band's 20 years of existence, it's hard to believe that much time has passed by – at the same time Jesse has learned much about himself and the growth he has taken in over the years. We also ask him about the work and dedication he put into his community with All Power Books, which is an independent bookstore Jesse opened, including his record label titled Other People Records. It's been a busy life, but a thankful one, and it's all translated into “Spectre,” which is full of all the signatures that make Stick To Your Guns stand out in not just the hardcore realm, but heavy metal in general. There are challenges in keeping things going after 2 decades, and that serves as an example to that drive which Jesse has put into this fan favorite quintet hailing from the OC. Did we mention to crank it up? Because Jesse also gets on the Hot Seat in this episode, putting his knowledge to the test in recalling his own lyrics. Tune in now and be sure to buy and stream Stick To Your Guns' “Spectre,” out now worldwide via Pure Noise Records.
