Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker

Dayseeker is experiencing the rare momentum of a band just hitting their stride. With their newly-released album Dark Sun, they’re following up the 2019 fan-beloved album Sleeptalk. While offering continuity of quality, Dark Sun also ventures into wholly new territory for the post-metalcore band.Much of the new ground broken on Dark Sun is due to the experience of frontman Rory Rodriguez, who wrote the majority of the album about his dad’s death. “The sun burned out the day that my dad died,” Rory explains, illuminating the album’s title.Those are the themes we explore in this episode of Trevor Talks. Rory shares with us about losing his own father just as he became a father himself, how COVID catalyzed the band’s role in fans’ hearts, and what it’s like to be a band on the rise. He also offers insight into his personal struggle with anxiety and how songwriting continues to be the lifeline that pulls him through.Listen to Dark Sun by Dayseeker:Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/dark-sun/1644926872Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5LBwRaecL24pCuyX5klZm5?si=cbkz0G_mQRS1pezHYlt4KQ This show is sponsored by lifeaudio: https://www.lifeaudio.com/ If you’re struggling and in need of support, visit:HeartSupport: www.heartsupport.comDeath2Life: https://d2lrevolution.com Teen Hopeline: http://www.teenhopeline.com/Beneath the Skin: https://www.beneaththeskinonline.org/ To Write Love On Her Arms: https://twloha.com/find-help/ Follow Dayseeker:Official website: https://dayseeker.band/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dayseeker/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dayseeker YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Mj8S4i3qTfrODM_IOyxRw Twitter: https://twitter.com/dayseekerFor more Trevor Talks:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4QvmLXo8mrOvlpfIZIgwBUApple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trevor-talks/id1513832599 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMTEwNzc5LnJzcw== Instagram: http://instagram.com/trevortalkspodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/trevortalkspodcast Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
