Talk Toomey Presented By Knotfestactive

Publisher |: Joshua Toomey

Media Type |: audio

Podknife tags |: Comedy,; Heavy Metal,; Interview,; Music

Categories Via RSS |: Music,; Music Commentary,; Music History,; Music Interviews

In the world of music podcasting, there are basically two categories - podcasts by fans, and podcasts by famed musicians that have reached the pinnacle of success. Somewhere in the middle of that is the Talk Toomey podcast. Hosted by Joshua Toomey, who previously was a member of national recording artists Primer 55, Talk Toomey avoids the pitfalls of fandom and the backslapping glad handing that comes from successful bands shamelessly talking to each other. Instead, you get focused, powerful and real looks into “the inner circle” of being a hard rock/heavy metal band, complete with questions most are too afraid to ask because their experience doesn’t meet or exceed the level needed to ask and relate. Talk Toomey has been regularly hailed as a top show since the onset, being highlighted on sites like Blabbermouth, Brave Words, etc. Talk Toomey is released for music fans free every Thursday!

Billy Graziadei reflects on some epic tours and reunions, the interview kicks off with nostalgia over seeing Biohazard live alongside acts like Ozzy Osbourne, Sepultura, and Danzig. Memories resurface of Biohazard's early tours, including unexpected moments that kept the band from rejoining Ozzfest. Fast forward, the discussion dives into Powerflo’s raw, intense process behind their latest album, *Gorilla Warfare*, which is built from heavy collaboration and Sunday jam sessions. Balancing multiple bands, each member is focused on their love for music over fame, bringing everything they've got to keep rock and metal alive.

Reflecting on his band's unique blend of metal and hip-hop, Billy explains that their sound evolved naturally from their diverse influences, rather than a planned fusion of styles. He emphasizes that he doesn’t intentionally write for one band or the other; instead, he allows songs to find their own place within his projects. When working with PowerFlo, he values the collaborative process, especially with vocalist Sen Dog, where ideas flow freely and they build on each other's strengths. This organic approach fuels a sound that feels raw and authentic, bringing the best of their musical backgrounds together.
