Marianas Trench on Emo Lyrics, Riot Fest, & McDonald's Black Sabbath?!
Description
We're hanging with Marianas Trench backstage at Riot Fest 2025! The band gets into what makes their candid lyrics so emo, the tough choices that go into building a festival setlist, and an unbelievable story about a Black Sabbath cover band that dresses like McDonald's characters.
Topics discussed:
- Why their candid, personal lyrics are the most "emo" thing about them.
- The challenge of building a 30-minute setlist for Riot Fest and why they mashed up older hits.
- Bands they were excited to see, including The Pogues and Blink-182.
- A hilarious deep-dive into Mac Sabbath, a Black Sabbath tribute band dressed as McDonald's characters.
- Debating which McDonaldland character each band member would be.
