Bryce Vine on Travis Barker, Warped Tour & Pop-Punk Roots

"Teen angst doesn't go away just because you get older. I think as an adult, you have less and less ways to relieve that stress of everyday life."   Multi-platinum artist Bryce Vine might be known for massive hip-hop crossover hits, but his musical DNA is pure Warped Tour.   Multi-platinum artist Bryce Vine might be known for massive hip-hop crossover hits, but his musical DNA is pure Warped Tour. From hunting down Blink-182's Dude Ranch on the radio as a kid to obsessing over the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks, Bryce has always been a scene kid at heart. He sits down with Lizzie to talk about blending those early pop-punk influences into his mainstream sound, navigating the reality of industry expectations, and what it’s actually like collaborating with scene heavyweights like John Feldmann and Travis Barker. Looking ahead to summer, Bryce talks about his placement on the Warped Tour 2026 lineup and getting to play alongside legacy acts like Third Eye Blind and New Found Glory. Stick around after the interview as Brian and Lizzie unpack the modern festival landscape, debate the mixed online reactions to the recent Warped Tour announcements, and question whether today's scene artists still get unfairly pigeonholed by outdated genre expectations.    "Teen angst doesn't go away just because you get older. I think as an adult, you have less and less ways to relieve that stress of everyday life and the things that are going on in your head, and then you just end up overthinking." "There's a lot of pressure in the music industry... you kinda gotta consider it in a different way. So I really try to tell up and coming artists not to worry too much about that and just lead by example by putting out music because it's what makes me feel good." "I just wanna make dope s***, and I think my fans get that. So if it's a punk song this time, then they learn all the words because they're invested now."
