Description: Every Time I Die's Keith Buckley reflects on his personal journey as a fan and his forever goal onstage: bringing humor and levity to hardcore. He also explores the experience of touring right now as the best version of himself, the music that made him, the first time he won over a room, hardcore mosh-pit etiquette, working out who your real allies are, and lots more. (Note: this interview was recorded on December 1st, before the news broke Keith would be taking a hiatus from touring.)
