Episode 222: The Moth Anatomy

On episode 222 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Kevin Sarro and Jay Willis of The Moth Anatomy! Originally formed in 2011, The Moth Anatomy built a large regional following, toured, and released an EP prior to taking a hiatus in 2015. Having drawn heavy influence from the metalcore and post hardcore acts of that time, this new era of The Moth Anatomy is now back with a reinvigorated sound and new frontman. In the time that's passed, The Moth Anatomy's sound and imagery has pulled from bands like Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, and Bad Omens. Rounded out by Dakota Binninger (bass) and Nick Morgan (drums), Kevin (guitar, keys) also linked up with Jay (lead vocals), giving this era of the band a new voice and frontman. So far, that reinvigorated sound and voice has resulted in two new singles for this rebirth of The Moth Anatomy - "Change" on 7/24 and "Unfamiliar" on 9/4 - both of which showcase the emotion, energy, and ethereal vibes with Jay on the mic. This Sunday, 9/13, The Moth Anatomy will perform at the Goldfield Trading Post in Roseville, California on a bill that also features Sygnal To Noise and A Block in support of Trapt's 25th Album Anniversary Tour. On this episode, Kevin and Jay talk with Mike about this new beginning with The Moth Anatomy, including the band's history, how they came together, the details behind the vibes of "Change" and "Unfamiliar," persevering through tragedy and difficult times, Kevin and Mike growing up during the peak era of nü-metal and its influence on his guitar work, The Moth Anatomy's sonic direction, and more. This episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman also features the aforementioned "Unfamiliar" from The Moth Anatomy, available where you get your music!
