  The “Rock Star Lifestyle” Came Before the Band | Nick Troisi of Omen Skye

  Aug 17, 20262h 7m

  Before Nick Troisi ever became the vocalist of Omen Skye, he spent years living what he calls the “rock-star lifestyle” without actually having the band. He joins Justin and Mike to talk about addiction, getting sober, learning to scream in his car and finally using the musical potential he thought he had wasted.Nick takes us through the whole path: getting cut from Chesapeake JV football, receiving his first guitar, using music to process his parents’ divorce, auditioning as a vocalist with two weeks of practice, surviving his first show and selling 84 tickets at Omen Skye’s second performance.They also get into the reality of building a metalcore band in 2026: management, promoters, PR, distribution, international listeners, expensive Instagram advertising, synchronized stage production and the deeply annoying requirement that every musician also become a content creator.Omen Skye’s new single “Vanquish” arrives August 28. They’ll be performing at Metro Gallery in Baltimore on September 13.Omen Skye links and “Vanquish” pre-save:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omenskyeband/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091131224729&mibextid=LQQJ4dYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCGnWKACBlO2nSmMJRsI59nQ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@omen_skye?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcVanquish: https://arsontheory.vyd.co/VanquishFollow Nick Troisi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadic_fanatic/Subscribe for new episodes of If This Doesn’t Work… every Monday at 9 AM.

  I Hiked Iceland for 6 Days With a 50-Pound Pack | Chris Carroll

  Aug 10, 20261h 9m

  Justin came back from six days hiking Iceland with roughly 50 pounds on his back, a damaged knee and one important realization: he might not actually be a hiker. Justin’s cousin Chris Carroll joins Mike and Justin to talk about Iceland’s volcanic terrain, sulfur clouds, crowded hiking huts, fermented shark, Sky Lagoon and the 17-mile push that finally ended the trip. Then the conversation turns to surveillance cameras, corporate data collection, the fatal Florida alligator attack, ranking the worst ways to die, choosing the best insect to become and the claim that not one good Spider-Man movie has ever been made.
