J-Bunny’s Music Hub Episode 75: Deadlands (Kasey Karlsen, CJ Arey, Kyle Obraitis) 2-12-2023

Charlie and J-Bunny sit down at the restaurant/venue 317 Main Street with the band Deadlands.  They discuss how the band got into listening to and playing heavy music, how they met, and how they formed the band.  The band discusses their influences, what bands they may be compared to, who they would want to tour with, and the process of writing their debut EP Sentence of Myself.  Charlie also asks about whether they expected lead singer Kasey Karlsen to become well-known on Tik Tok, how that led to her performing with Motionless in White at Madison Square Garden on the Trinity of Terror Tour, how the rest of the band reacted to that performance, and if that led to any additional attention for Deadlands.  And of course J-Bunny asks how the band feels about the current state of the music industry.
