Rock Girl Summer Concert Series ft. Flyleaf, Evanescence, Spiritbox & More

It's been a summer of shows! Kiel Hauck is joined by Nadia Alves to break down a run of unforgettable concerts, starting with Flyleaf's 20th anniversary tour for their self-titled album. Nadia caught a chaotic night in Boston (mic issues, actual crowd fights, and a setlist that leaned surprisingly hard on New Horizons), while Kiel heads out to see them in Indianapolis the very next night. The two dig into their long history with the band, Lacey Sturm's legacy, and what it meant to grow up on "girl power rock."From there, Kiel recaps an incredible night with Evanescence and Spiritbox, breaking down what it's like watching Spiritbox win over an amphitheater crowd (RIP to everyone who lost it for "Circle With Me" and "Holy Roller"). They also tease more shows on the way, including Hayley Williams this September.Then it's on to new music: Kiel runs through the albums that have defined his summer, including MUNA's Dancing on the Wall, Static Dress's screamo throwback, Olivia Rodrigo's new record, and Bring Me the Horizon's re-recorded Count Your Blessings. Nadia gives an update on her 1001 Albums Challenge — seven Bob Dylan albums down, a new Doves obsession, and a hard-earned five stars for the Black Keys' Brothers — before the two debate who really deserves the crown for Song of the Summer.Plus, a look ahead at new music on the way from Mayday Parade, Phoebe Bridgers, Carly Rae Jepsen, Stand Atlantic, and Emery.
