Josh Scogin: Do You Hear Something Beautiful? 01:36:07 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0519_LABELED_SCOGIN_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=500533 If there is are legends in this scene, Josh Scogin is one of them: frontman of Luti-Kriss, Norma Jean, The Chariot, and ‘68. Josh has played thousands of show, and from what we can all gather from our shared experiences of seeing them, and from scouring the internet, there appears to be not even a single moment in any of those thousands of shows where Josh is ever giving anything less than his whole self. While the word “passion” can be overused and misunderstood, what people are talking about when they use the word, is what Josh Scogin performing is. If you could bottle that and sell it you’d be a millionaire. I’d define it more like someone powerful being fully invested in the moment in search of something that has intrinsic worth, and in Josh’s own words, it seems that beauty is what he is in search of. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook Pre-order / pre-save Lightworker’s "Fury By Failure," out June 12th :: http://lightworker.ffm.to/fury Follow Lightworker on Spotify :: https://spoti.fi/3fZm8XD Pre-Order Emery's New Album "White Line Fever" with code LABELED for 10% off SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Norma Jean “Shotgun Message” The Chariot “And Then, Came Then” The Chariot “The City” (Live in Moscow) Starflyer 59 “Minor Keys” Starflyer 59 “Twenty Dollar Bills” Starflyer 59 “I Like Your Photographs” The Chariot “Before There Was Atlanta, There Was Doughlasville” The Chariot “Back to Back” Lightworker “Empyre” Emery “Civil Wars” ’68 “Whether Terrified or Unafraid” (Live in Tennessee) MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	May 19, 2020
Back to Indie 01:13:18 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0421_LABELED_CH29_1.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 29 We have reached the final chapter of our series! We’ve seen both Tooth & Nail and the scene grow from being independent, in basements and obscurity, and grow until they were partnered with a giant corporation and had artists all over MTV and mainstream radio. Today we see how Tooth & Nail came full circle from all the mayhem and tied hands that came along with that, to once again become a true indie label. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: MxPx "Chick Magnet" Starflyer 59 “Fell In Love at 22” Underoath “A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black and White” Jonezetta “Get Ready (Hot Machete)” mewithoutYou “Messes of Men” Silent Planet “Trilogy” Blenderhead "Escape Reason" MxPx “Secret Weapon” MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Apr 22, 2020
The Classic Crime: Getting In at the Top of the Market 01:23:18 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0324_LABELED_MACDONALD_FINAL.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 28 Matt MacDonald from The Classic Crime was not a first or second generation Tooth & Nail kid; he and his band just happened to intersect with the label and the scene right near its peak. With their polished commercial sound, aspirations of mainstream success, a hotshot management team, and Tooth & Nail's partnership with EMI, upstreaming them into the big leagues seemed like a solid bet. The expectations were understandably high all around. Many special opportunities would come their way, but ultimately, the music industry and the indie scene had a few curveballs up their sleeve, giving Matt some unexpected opportunities to learn lessons he was not hoping to learn. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: The Classic Crime “The Coldest Heart” The Classic Crime “Who Needs Air” Tyson Motsenbocker “Come to California” Pedro the Lion “Almost There” MxPx “What’s Mine is Yours” Anberlin “Paper Thin Hymns” The Classic Crime “Salt in the Snow” The Classic Crime “Highlights” The Classic Crime “The Water’s Edge” MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Mar 26, 2020

The Motivation of an Intern with the Responsibility of an Executive 01:32:36 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0225_LABELED_CH27.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 27 Former Tooth & Nail employee, Derek Tenbusch, in many ways is a similar to Brandon Ebel. Both got their start as low level employees of a record label in southern California, because of their love for music, and thought it would be satisfying to help good art thrive. Eventually both became dissatisfied with the limited scope of those around them and sought to do more. Only Derek didn’t come from the indie-punk Christian scene, he worked for the corporate giant that controlled Tooth & Nail and with whom Brandon was having conflict. So maybe it was fate that brought Derek to work directly for Tooth & Nail and push millions of records into mainstream outlets for the first time, or maybe it was that they were like-minded people like to work hard for big results by collaborating on a small and focused creative team of people who all believe in something far more important than just a paycheck or the status that comes with a title. This is the same thing that motivates musicians, fans, and people like the interns who work so hard at places like record labels. However, it becomes increasingly more rare to see the people at the higher levels of responsibility actually continue to posses this type of motivation. They often fall into one of two traps: trying to do less work for more money, or being concerned with their own power and not the furthering of there original aim. These patterns extend far beyond the music industry and can be applied everywhere, but in this particular case, we also get a really clear picture of just what the music industry was and maybe still is like at the larger scale and get to reflect on the time period when Tooth & Nail and its small team was having massive impact in a collapsing industry. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: He Is Legend “The Seduction” Starflyer 59 “All My Friends Who Play Guitar” mewithoutYou Live at Cornerstone Norma Jean “Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste” Mae “We’re So far Away” Underoath “Young and Aspiring” Emery “Walls” Live Beloved “Only Our Faces Hide” MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Feb 26, 2020
The Big Pinch 01:00:47 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0211_LABELED_CH26_THEBIGPINCH.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 26 We have completed the ride to the top for the underground Christian punk and hardcore scene! Brandon, the label, and the artists, all had continued to grow and succeed for ten years, so now all we need to do is for everything to stay JUST as it is. Sounds easy - just don’t change anything. But we are all well acquainted with how the world works, and we know the bad news in life is that nothing stays the same. But perhaps that’s also the good news? It’s much easier for everyone to get along when the pie is growing, but as we move into the final act of this series, Brandon, the label, the bands, the scene, and all of the middle men that make their living off of the music, will have to deal with how to divide and control a rapidly shrinking pie. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Anberlin "Never Take Friendship Personal" Jeremy Camp "Understand" Norma Jean "Murderotica: An Avalanche in D Minor" Terminal "Dark" Haste the Day "When Everything Falls" Thousand Foot Krutch "Move" The Chariot "Yanni Depp" Number One Gun "We Are" Demon Hunter "Undying" Anberlin "Paperthin Hymn" As Cities Burn "Bloodsucker Pt II" Emery "Listening to Freddy Mercury" Underoath "Reinventing Your Exit" Mae "We're So Far Away" Queens Club “Danger Kids” Starflyer 59 “A Housewife Love Song” Jonezetta “Communicate” The Classic Crime “The Coldest Heart” As Cities Burn "Thus From My Lips, By Yours, My Sin is Purged" MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Feb 12, 2020
Underoath: Don’t Fix It If It Ain’t Broke 01:24:38 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0128_LABELED_CH25_AINTBROKE.mp3?dest-id=500533 It was just over 1 year ago when we began this series and covered the formation of Tooth & Nail and the tiniest little trickle of house shows and Calvary Chapels and community centers organized by people like Billy Power. Then we saw the rise of cornerstone with John Herrin as the scene had just begun to emerge. So we've traveled quite a long way to get here, and today we reach the high watermark. It's a couple of decades of community building and talent compiling, large technological leaps, an exploding genre, a sharp and well oiled indie label, the perfect band (Underoath)at the perfect time and all of that backed and supercharged by multi billion dollar global cooperation…. This episode covers Underoath's 2006 album, Define The Great Line, with guitarist Tim McTauge and features Brandon Ebel as well. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Jan 29, 2020
Underoath: Kids From Florida 01:09:09 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0114_LABELED_CH24_KIDS_FROM_FLORIDA.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 24 There is no question that Underoath is the biggest Christian heavy band of our scene. They completely broke the ceiling of what was assumed was possible beyond our scene, but what are all the factors that go into a landmark success story like that of Underoath? In a sense, this podcast so far is a list and account of many of those factors, or maybe it's just "They’re Only Chasing Safety" was directly born out of the Tooth & Nail culture. It was a perfect wave that had been built by thousands of people collaborating and supporting one another and as they grew and gained momentum, the wave was ready to break, and Underaoth was the perfect band to harness its energy and break our scene wide open into the mainstream and become Tooth & Nail's biggest rock band to date. My favorite viewpoint for this story is that of Tim McTague's, who at that time was something like Underoath's quarterback. Not only is he a giant of an artist and musician, but at age 21, he took the responsibility to handle their business. As we have seen in this series, the biggest pitfalls are often managing the managers, agents, labels, lawyers, promoters, pressure from other bands, and fans, all of whom desperately want something from the band, and in Underoath's case, turn the intensity of all that up about 10x, starting with the release of "They're Only Chasing Safety." https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Underoath "A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black and White" Zao "Times of Separation" Strongarm "Suplication" Underoath "There Could Be Nothing After This" Underoath "When the Sun Sleeps" Underoath "A Message for Adrienne" Live Underoath "Young and Aspiring" Underoath "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door" Underoath "Young and Aspiring" Live Underoath "Salmarnir" MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Jan 15, 2020

They grew up as fans of the label, started a terrific band, did the first decade and a half of their career on other labels, and now, at last, they are in fact a Solid State band. So there is plenty to discuss and listen to including their new and debut release on Solid State, "The Act" which came out in October. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: The Devil Wears Prada "Dez Moines" Norma Jean "Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste" Beloved "Aimless Endeavor" The Devil Wears Prada "Danger: Wildman" Underoath "To Whom It May Concern" The Devil Wears Prada "Born to Lose" The Devil Wears Prada "Chemical" The Devil Wears Prada "Please Say No" The Devil Wears Prada "Lines of Your Hands" MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Dec 13, 2019

Finishing high school by an alternative program, Josh is touring as Beloved's frontman at 18 years old, and by 21 that journey would be over and Josh would move in a different direction musically and personally. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Beloved "Aimless Endeavor" Strongarm “These Times That Try Men’s Souls” Further Seems Forever “Pictures of Shorelines” Beloved “Into Your Arms” Classic Case “Hospitalized” Beloved “Rise & Fall” Beloved “Aimless Endeavor” Josh Moore “Between The Lines” Beloved “Failure On My Lips” MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Nov 29, 2019
Beloved: One and Done 01:01:01 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/1128_LABELED_CH23.1_DUSTY.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 23.1 Beloved’s 2003 debut, "Failure On," is a legendary album in the Solid State Records catalog. They had so much in their favor: made a flawless debut record, had an incredibly promising trajectory, had all been friends since childhood, and described themselves as family, were respected in the scene that was exploding and supportive, and were a priority to the best record label in the Christian heavy music space in the middle of its most powerful moment. Dusty Redmond gives his point of view as to how after just a few tours, and amid the anticipation of the entire scene for their follow up record, the Beloved train was derailed. Since then, Beloved has existed in conversations in greenrooms, tour busses, and record industry people as a “what if” band. There were occasionally feint rumors of possible reunions, but alas, after nearly 15 years, most people have given up hope. You would think that it would take something extraordinary to stop the incredible momentum that Beloved had in 2004, but some things can be both powerful and fragile at the same time. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Beloved “Only our Faces Hide” Strongarm “Council of Perfection” Selfmindead “Always” Fair “Carelessness” Beloved “Rise and Fall Beloved “Allure” Beloved “Kiss it Goodbye” Beloved “Insult to Injury” Beloved “Failure On My Lips” Advent “Hanging The Giants” Beloved “Death to Traitors” MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Nov 29, 2019

Not until their twenties did they even find out about this whole scene. But they made up for lost time, and thanks to the foundations laid by the earlier bands, the explosion of this new scene, and the peak of the Tooth & Nail merger with EMI, Emery rode a wave of success and got used to it a little too quickly.

The groundwork had been laid by the pioneers of the scene, the infrastructure was in place, and Tooth & Nail, partnered with EMI was at the top of the mountain. Killer production, promotion, and exposure were no problem at all, and the specific sound that Dead Poetic had been developing was about to explode. The band would achieve success, sales, and opportunities that would dwarf most of the artists that preceded them. And yet, front man Brandon Rike gave it all up.

SolidState and Tooth & Nail history is much too large to begin to cover in an episode, so we will cover it from a variety of angles over time. But as far as Norma Jean goes, Cory Brandan is certainly a very central figure, and his career in this scene intersects multiple important bands and he is one of the very few individuals that has been able to find a way to thrive (although sometimes merely survive) and contribute for 20 years. Cory has been able to find or create paths when it seemed that none existed. What's even more hard to imagine is that Cory stayed focused on creating music and found his way despite the fact that by 1994 at the age of 18 he had already had his first child. I talked to Cory about his journey and mindset beginning with his first band Eso Charis, his connection to Living Sacrifice, and how he eventually became the leader of the almighty Norma Jean. https://labeledpodcast.com/ Support Labeled on Patreon Join Labeled on Facebook SONGS YOU HEARD ON THIS EPISODE: Norma Jean "Vertabraille" Eso Charis "Born With a Future" Living Sacrifice "Reborn Empowered" Eso Charis "The Narrowing List" Living Sacrifice "Imminent War" Empty "From a Chemist's Point of View" Norma Jean "The Human Face Divine" Norma Jean "The Shotgun Message" Norma Jean "1,000,000 Watts" Norma Jean "Blueprints for a Future Home" MORE FROM TOOTH & NAIL: * Labeled: Music From The Podcast: smarturl.it/labeledplaylist * DISCOVER IT: New Tracks from T&N Records: smarturl.it/TNNDiscover * This Is Solid State: New Tracks from Solid State Records: https://spoti.fi/2CUCsaH * Tooth & Nail Store (LABELED Patreon members get 20% off everything): tnn.lnk.to/store	Sep 20, 2019
Raw Rock Kills 01:22:20 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0905_LABELED_CH17_SHOWBREAD.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 17 Showbread is one of the bands that was able to follow in the footsteps of the bands who pioneered the music scene that we all love. There was a very special time when the market was not overcrowded with touring musical acts, but the scene was established enough that there was a great hunger for independent and expressive music. If you had a message, some talent, and were really willing to sacrifice, you could be a touring band. Even without a label or fans, you could get shows and win fans. And if you did that, perhaps a label would notice. It was a very open-minded and supportive time. If you were a Christian kid looking to have some artistic boundaries broken from your conformist upbringing and you like raw music, Showbread might just kill you.

KJ-52 and BEC Recordings 01:08:20 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/0821_LABELED_CH16_KJ52.2.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 16 KJ-52 is a Christian rapper who struggled to get his career off the ground in the 90’s after being rejected by his dream label and dropped early on by a major label and then found his home among the rest of us punk, DIY and hardcore folks. KJ embodies many of the same values that we often discuss here but his music fit much better in the BEC and CCM worlds so he is a terrific individual to help us understand the similarities and differences in that world and the one we spend most of our time in. BEC recordings is the CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) leaning imprint of Tooth & Nail Records and plays a very important role in expanding the company, generating revenue, and enabling Tooth & Nail/Solid State to have a larger and more competent staff. Admittedly CCM music has a reputation for being cheesy or unoriginal, but like most things, if you look closer you will find that there is much more nuance than you’d expect.

Anneka Winters' Front Row Seat 37:49 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/190808_LABELED_Anneka.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 15 Today's episode is intended to give you an inside and personal perspective on Tooth & Nail, Brandon Ebel, and the music scene as the label grew into its 2000’s dominance. Anneka Winters was an accountant at Tooth & Nail Records from 1998 to 2004, but she was much more than just an accountant. She assisted and worked with Jim Worthen and also became Brandon's Personal Assistant, she lived in a communal house with other Tooth & Nail employees, and she was around through the biggest staff and culture change in the company, driven in part by the merger with EMI, the shift in genres, and the success of BEC Records.

The approach is being deep, heavy, brutal singing and screaming with a strong spiritual component that gives weight to the music. Steve Cobucci is the guitarist, writer, singer, and lyricist for the band along with screamer Ben Summers.

I refer to Anberlin as pivotal, because they began as a pop punk band in the vein of late 90's Tooth & Nail, but made an image and musical pivot at just exactly the right time, along with a crop other emerging bands from the southeast, which in turn helped Tooth & Nail pivot and transition to a new era. Tooth & Nail has just acquired Takehold Records and its founder, Chad Johnson, to be head of A&R, and his connections began to pay off.

Brandon has sold half of the company to EMI and has purchased and absorbed Takehold Records, which brought its founder Chad Johnson on staff. Heavy music was continuing to explode, but also, in keeping with the Tooth and Nail style, Brandon and the staff continued to try to break and include a very wide variety of artists, including a very happy and poppy rock outfit from San Luis Obispo, CA, called Watashi Wa. Fronted by yet another young man who grew up as a Tooth & Nail kid, Seth Roberts joins Labeled to help paint the picture of that time and the unique challenges they faced.

They have sold, get this, over 2 million records. It would be no understatement to say they are one of the most successful acts that ever came out of this scene. So to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the landmark album Constellations, I thought it would be great to see how they got into the Tooth and Nail culture in the first place, and connect the dots from the tiny house shows and basements that laid the groundwork and infrastructure that August Burns Red would step into and take to a whole new level. I got to chat with guitarist JB Brubaker and drummer Matt Greiner the other day and had a great time. I think you’ll enjoy it too.

By 1996, they were on MTV, KROQ, and part of the global pop punk culture.

The Stigma 51:33 https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/toothandnail/1212_LABELED_CH3.mp3?dest-id=500533 Chapter 3: By the mid 90’s, Tooth and Nail Records had moved from Southern California to Seattle, where they were confronted with a scene that was not exactly welcoming to Christian rock, but the influence of that scene would play a role in Brandon’s strategy to embrace and seek artists that could be credible in the mainstream world and place them alongside others that could have mass appeal in the Christian market. This episode explores the difficulty navigating being an artist while having to wrestle with Christianity, credibility, commerce, and the conflicting expectations of fans, parents, record labels, and the non-Christian bands that you think of as peers.

But, something new was beginning to emerge from Southern California and the Pacific Northwest: a movement of Christian kids and leaders who not only embraced punk and DIY ethics, but saw it as consistent with their faith. They began to form a scene and a community of inspiring and credible music – but with no internet, there was little-to-no support or infrastructure. Clearly, there was not only proven demand from would-be consumers, but a clear vision from the artists involved. So they built what they needed, gained support from fans, and sparked a culture-shifting creative explosion leading to to the founding of Tooth & Nail Records and much more.
