Prior to their incendiary performance at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, frontman Jonny Hawkins and bassist Dan Oliver sat down for a chat with Pierre Robert and Ryan Shuttleworth backstage. They converse a lot about Nothing More’s latest musical release Carnal which came out on June 28th. The band discusses the importance of still making full albums, how Dolly Parton inspired a track on the record, and presenting Carnal at the MMRBQ in gold-colored vinyl.



The conversation took a philosophical turn when the lads talk about synchronicities, how Alan Watts has become the unofficial mascot for Nothing More (and how Pierre has been trying to escape him) and taking stock at where the band feels they are currently in their lives.

The MMRBQ can be considered a massive rock and roll family reunion for all music lovers in the Philadelphia area. And the warm vibes and friendship was certainly flowing when Pierre Robert sat down backstage with The Offspring's six-string maestro Noodles!

They dove into discussing The Offspring's upcoming 11th studio album Supercharged including some themes of the songs, writing a love letter to Brazilian fans, and how the catchy female voice on the first single Make It All Right came to be.

Noodles and Pierre also chatted about seeing UFOs, Leonard Nimoy's grandson touring with the band, the juxtaposition of playing lighter and heavier songs, and Pierre willing to travel across the globe to hear one specific Offspring track.

Jersey Calling Kick Off a Spectacular MMRBQ with Brent Porche

Moments after their first performance together in over a decade, Philly’s own Silvertide gathered at the broadcast booth at MMRBQ 2024, basking in the glow of what had just transpired.

Nick Perri, Walt Lafty, Brian Weaver, Mark Melchiorre, and Kevin Frank shared their excitement on air with Brent Porche, and traced the moments that led them to the MMRBQ stage. After a long hiatus, when they began tossing around the idea of a reunion, the important stipulation was that it had to be fun. That philosophy, along with sharpening the songs that Philly knows and loves, resonated from the pit to the lawn at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.

Seeing the band back in action made it feel like we’d turned the clock back to their early 2000s heyday, but with all the experience and soul that comes with many years spent in the industry. What made this reunion even more special was how the band member’s kids were part of the experience for the first time, pointing out that their children barely know that this music was huge a huge part of our lives 20 years ago.

It’s a full-circle moment for Silvertide, who not only celebrated their epic past and their debut album Show & Tell, but are also brewing up new projects, including a holiday show at the TLA and potentially new music on the horizon.
