Joining host Kevan Kenney at KROQ in Los Angeles -- what could be considered their second home at this point -- Ryan Clapham, Michelle Joy, and Paul Davis of Cannons took over the Helpful Honda Sound Space for an intimate performance and interview just as their 2019 single “Fire For Fou” reached Platinum status.

“It's really exciting,” Michelle says of the news. “It was kind of a funny story, right?” adds Ryan, “because we didn't really know at first.” Michelle explains, “We didn't know for a little while, but it was really exciting. I mean, ‘Fire For You’ changed our lives and just makes us really happy to know that the fire keeps on burning.”

Keeping true to the sonic and aesthetic universe the band has created, they recently dropped their moody music video for their new single, “Sweeter.” 

“We like to make mood boards for everything,” Michelle says, “and I feel like, for every music video we'll discuss what kind of visuals we're into at the moment, what movies we're watching, what kind of colors, what kind of things we feel represent Cannons and tie those into the music, the visuals and just try and create a world that does feel cohesive and that makes us feel like it's a nice escape that's beautiful and fun to enter.”

Cannons are currently on tour with U.S. dates scheduled for this summer and fall. Don't miss Kevan Kenney's full interview with Cannons above, and stay tuned for even more action from the Sound Space right here on Audacy.
