 | From Chad Bowar, your About Music Editor You can get to know an artist through their music, but can go even deeper by reading interviews with them. Our music guides often have the opportunity to chat with musicians in a variety of genres. Here are some of those recent conversations. | |
Five Finger Death Punch Interview
Five Finger Death Punch vocalist Ivan Moody was in a movie a few years ago, and is now one of the co-stars of The Devil's Carnival, a new movie from the creators of Repo! The Genetic Opera. I chatted with Moody about his role in the film, working with co-stars such as Shawn "Clown" Crahan from Slipknot, 5FDP's recent trip to Kuwait to play for their troops, the success of their latest CD American Capitalist and other subjects.

M. Ward Interview
M. Ward is an American singer-songwriter with a beloved back-catalog filled with hazy, mock-vintage takes on Americana, blues, and folk. Ward's profile was undoubtedly raised by the arrival of She and Him, the duo that he splits with starlet Zooey Deschanel.

A$AP Rocky Interview
He's the most exciting new voice in rap. A$AP Rocky has also inspired a good dose of vitriol for adopting elements of Houston hip-hop in his music. The 23-year-old New York native took a break from photo shoots and shopping trips to chat with me about the Harlem Shake and his love for Houston.
