Rob Damiani (Don Broco) & Brandon Saller (Atreyu) On New Albums And Pushing Heavier

Rob Damiani of Don Broco and Brandon Saller of Atreyu join Loaded Radio to break down the mindset behind their latest albums, Nightmare Tripping and The End Is Not The End. Both bands had momentum—and chose not to repeat it. Damiani dives into the themes behind Don Broco's most unpredictable release yet, including the politically charged "True Believers," while Saller explains why Atreyu leaned into their heaviest sound to date and how writing sessions in Tokyo and total isolation shaped the record. This conversation goes beyond surface-level promo. It gets into risk, identity, and why both bands decided to push forward instead of playing it safe. If you've followed either band for years, this is the kind of insight you don't usually get.
